Hmm, saw the first episode today....
I have to admit, this was a rather unusual show even with the music. There's a rather eerie mood with the setting and it's about as straightforward as it got. Zombies coming after one of the main girls (Sakura) right from the start as she feels helplessly trapped. Then, there's the idol part and she herself becomes a zombie. Most of the other cast doesn't seem to have much of a personality so far but we'll see soon how they develop. They even got a zombie dog in this show LOL and it's quite unusual. Definitely a weird show so far but I'm going to follow it to see where it goes.

Not sure what I expected, but that wasn't it
It was pretty damn fun. Mad scientist Houhouin Kyouma gave up on time travel and decided to form his own zombie idol group instead. Explanation for how he created the zombies? Just watch zombie movies. This isn't a zombie anime with idols, but an idol anime with zombies. Certainly an interesting premise. Truck-kun works fast these days. Makes sense, he has plenty of experience by now. That was really unexpected and made me burst out laughing.

Ummm...that happened.
My condolences to the main character. Run over and killed in the first few minutes and dropped into an utterly insane situation. But yeah, ok this is just going to be an idol anime where the girls are zombies. And their manager is way too much at all times. It kind of worked for when the guy voiced Okabe since that over the top Kyouma was entertaining. But this guy just feels as if he's yelling right in your face at all times. It wasn't terrible. I'm sure it was good either though. It just kind of happened.

I went in thinking this would be some kind of Resident Evil or Dawn of the Dead type deal, but boy was I surprised. Started off so moe and bam!! Truck-kun followed by that heavy metal music. I really lost my shit with that one. lolol
A zombie-themed idol anime. Ah Japan, you never cease to amaze me. That said, despite not being what I expected it to be, the sheer absurdity of it all is enough to keep me interested. Let's see what they can do with this.

First minute in, thinking I gonna drop this, half a minute later, Truck-kun outta nowhere so quickly I got a jumpscare, metal opening while girl flying through the air, then zombie girls in weird clothes in a mansion, MC escapes just to find out she is a zombie as well and she is supposed to become a Zombie Idol to save Saga? Yeah, I am in. Good that nearly all the other girls woke up as well at the end, we can't have an Idol band that only screams and headbangs the whole time. xD

Totally got bamboozled. Was excited for the next High School of the Dead, got undead Love Live instead. I mean, it's technically about Zombies in the prefecture Saga (which I know of a lot due to the area's unoffical video game being my favourite series, SaGa), so the title is technically not wrong, but you don't think of idol anime either, so I don't it's totally my fault. XD
Overall, it's probably going to be this seasons Cells at Work for me. Really unique show, but probably won't hold my interest once the gimmick wears off.
