Is This a Zombie? Season One

To say that Ayumu is not your average high school student would be a gross understatement. Murdered by a serial killer, he’s been resurrected as a zombie by a cute little Necromancer who refuses to speak to him. As if that’s not bad enough, he has a chance encounter with a magical girl and somehow steals her power to become a Magical Garment Girl. Add a vampire ninja to the mix, and you have a cast that’s ready to take viewers on a truly wild ride as Ayumu tries to find out who killed him and stop them before they kill again. With a story like that, you know there is going to be some crazy animation. There’s also a fair amount of bloodshed. The unexpected treat is the way the series shows us the emotional bond the unlikely quartet build over the course of their adventures. It really helps balance the weirdness.
