I don't think it is that hard.
While there are complaint about how third episode being idol episode, then again, their primary goal is becoming idol capable of revitalize Saga prefecture. I don't see anything bad about that as first and second episodes already telling that its their "extra" efforts after becoming a zombie playing a big part on their debut. Third episode itself showing that despite their success on their first and second "concert", its not like people easily gathered for them. At least, we know that spiky punk guy and his friend are started to be interested about them thanks to their first two concert, that's already good sign as both might lead to episode where they insist Franchouchou charm is their unexpected, neck-breaking performance (LOL). What I'm more worried is how long that Franchouchou name lasted? Death Musume when they goes metal, Green Face when they goes with rap, Franchouchou when doing idol job ... Surprisingly fitting but if this keep going, they'll ended up having new name for each of genre they were having approach. LOL.

Almost no jokes or parody in episode 3. It looked like an actual idol show. Nothing like the legendary first two episodes. I just hope they will still make more funny episodes otherwises there is no point for me to watch this since i'm not really an idol fan. But parodies i do love . Mappa pls! |

Though the use of CGI was the worst bit. That animation was so painful to watch; i can only pray that they will never touch it ever again Quote:
Like they made use of the CGI, but they didn't do anything with it. What might have been clever is if they started out with CGI, had a bad performance, and then when the other two girls jump in, they swap back to regular animation for when the performance goes well (What might even be better is if the two idols are the only ones using regular animation, while the others are CGI). Like the animators chose to use CGI to not just mock its use, but to also make the performance look bad for the TV viewers. The viewers feel what the crowd in the show feels; The crowd didn't like it, so neither should the viewers... Top it with a meta comment about their "awkward, amateur" dancing and you got your punchline Though they also still need to work in the zombie aesthetic in there somewhere.

I Like the running gag of the girls sniffing about body descompotition is touched, is funny and the manager is just a funny slavedriver
Loved how the manager talked and the girls passed by...and how sakura touch about how they are from different times and Ai how they're zombies when in japan cremation is common. Jejeje with the health warning..how that worked on zombies? Everything was so perfect...of course they will screwed it...poor lady, she got scarred and would be an urban myth now. baseball? highschool? that chicken? did saki will get a new tamagochi? |

Continuing toward the normal idol path, but the episode still contained a lot of craziness. I think the episode struck a good balance this time, as opposed to last week's. I liked that the girls are still thinking about how they became zombies, which means it is an actual plot point. Kotaro won't be able to evade the question forever.

Nice to see that the girls themselves are starting to become curious about how they became zombies. Eventually, Kotaro is going to have to answer some questions, like why he choose those girls, mostly why he choose Sakura and Tae.
Poor lady, she just wanted to take a dip and came out traumatized.

And down goes a great lucrative job possibility~
Have to say I laughed a lot when the poor lady found Sakura's head in the Onsen and then ran around in a hotel of horror. A wonder nobody else meet the Zombie girls by all that screaming. xD Next week with those bird customs will surely be hilarious as well.

I thought those pads were gonna have some secret side effect that would be dangerous to zombies. Surprisingly, they seem to work as advertised! :heh
I also love how Yugiri is just going with it and having a good time despite the situation. |

I wonder if that "maybe zombies absorb things quickly" line was a hint, since all of the zombies seemed to soak up the headbanger, screamo atmosphere immediately, Sakura's emptyish head seemed to be full of rap battlin' after casual exposure and Tae now actually seems to sing and follow choreography well enough despite still being mostly brain-dead.
Edit: Ai's "Aren't bodies cremated in Japan?" line makes me wonder if someone hasn't been planning this and collecting pretty corpses since the early 80's. The suggestion probably doesn't count for Yugiri, since funerary cremation was actually pretty controversial in Japan until the end of the 19th century because of lingering Confucian values. I suppose this ups the possibility that it was all Tae's idea before she died, and Kotaro is just carrying it out. Last edited by Alhazred; 2018-10-25 at 20:43. |

So what was the point of the "don't put it on people" thing scene? They ended up putting it on humans anyways, and there was no follow-up to that in a positive or negative manner. *shrug*
Normal idol anime these days, I guess.
