Zombieland Saga is a show that you wouldn't think twice about girls that have passed away in one form or another, and then given the Jesus Christ "resurrection on the Third Day" treatment as zombies to save a land that's largely been purged and disappeared since time millenia...by being an idol show with much of the hysterity. And look how far we've come into the 2nd season of the show, dubbed "Revenge", because literally, it's that and much more.

With that said, GOOOOOOOODA MORNIN' ZOMBIES, LET'S BEAT THE LIVING **** OUTTA THE **** WACK TO SAVE OUR ****ING MOTHERLAND, SAGA! GODDAMMIT YOU FRIGGIN MAGGOTS!

To come back ...

The highly anticipated sequel to Zombieland Saga not only lived up to the hype, it exceeded all expectations. Cementing itself among the best idol series in recent memory.

The original Zombieland saga made waves with its unique ensemble premise and cast, promotion of a somewhat unknown area(to foreigners) of Japan, and incredibly well executed humour. Season 2 does a great job of building upon the already established characters. As with any idol series, Zombieland Saga Revenge dedicates several episodes to each character’s development, bringing us even closer to the girls we know and love. In contrast with season 1, however, Revenge takes a darker approach to ...

This review contains some spoilers.

If you were around during Anime Expo back in 2018, then you might remember a strange franchise introduced to the world. It's Zombieland Saga, and at the time, most of us didn't know what it was. The producers and staff were very secretive about the project until it's revelation. And that is...Zombieland Saga is comedic horror anime about idols. Flash a year later and we got announcement of the sequel. Now here we are in 2021 with the return of zombie idols who takes...revenge?

No, that's not quite right. If you remember this show for what it was at all, then you'll ...

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING ZOMBIES! IT'S TIME FOR ZOMBIELAND SEASON TWO AFTER SO LONG!!!

It really has been so long. The first season was such a smash it for me, that it became one of my few 10s that I've rated it. But it was for a fair number of reasons, compared to this show of course. As it means a lot to me, but we're not here for that, we're here for the pre review! So let's go!

Story
The story seems to have taken more of a serious edge on things, while still begin in the style sometimes of ZLS. Not that is a bad thing, more that ...

Funny

Very poorly executed and lost sight of itself.

Season 2 of ZLS attempts to make more plot without committing and more spotlight on new supporting characters.

After a very strong start ZLS 2's episodes lose structure and meander constantly while taking out the main characters almost completely. A great example is the biker gang episode with Yamada where she kind of just shows up around the supporting characters and doesn't do anything. Compared to the yakitori episode from season 1 the execution is devoid of stakes, compelling characterization, humor, setup+payoff and the horror references they liked to play around with. The only reason the episode even feels ...

I wasnt able to get immersed in this. I regret it.

Story : As the story is a continuation of season 1, you might have some issues with understanding it without it. So far, its top notch. It is dictated with amazing raw emotions. I would say that it shows a realistic story. A more relatable one, which me as a person who is looking for a job after some years of shitty experience in CS (Computer Science), I can 100% say that this is a normal future which awaits you, that is if you dont waste your life simping for HoloLive or Rem.

Alright, so to start with, I like Zombieland Saga's 1st season as much as the next guy. So I had high expectations from the 2nd season... which unfortunately never met after watching this second season.
The 1st season, although it's very low quality with it's animation, had the heart and soul without stooping as low as copying the generic idol-anime formula. It had the general theme of being able to do the regrets that people had when they died. It was a great premise that was executed very well.
But what does the second season did that I didn't like? Well, nothing much really. They just ...

Zombieland Saga is not about Zombies.
Zombieland Saga is not about moe.
Zombieland Saga is not about idols.
Zombieland Saga is not about music.
Zombieland Saga is not (only) about selling merchandise.

Zombieland Saga is about gentrification, persistence of historical memory and a very light touch of Sentai (you can see all the archetypes there). It's about people doing good together and how we're strong when we're united, being able to face and defeat all adversities in our paths. It's about love, any kind of love. It's about believing in other people.

Zombieland Saga is the food you love, but hate all its ingredients.

Watch it, please.

MINOR SPOILERS

Zombieland Saga is probably one of the only idol anime I've watched and it is so damn enjoyable. Season 2 has been more of the same from our favourite 7 undead and of course cant forget about the over zealous manager Kotaro who blew away the audience with his over the top personality.

Story - 7/10
The story for season 2 is almost the exact same as season 1, with the main cast continuing their idol shenanigans all while trying to top the charts and take over saga. But what exactly is saga and Kotaro's plan with the girls. Zombieland Saga has a lot of mystery ...

From its humble beginnings as a bunch of losers trying to get some attention from a street to becoming the biggest idols of the prefecture, Franchouchou certainly has been through a lot to reach where they are. Now that the novelty from S1 has worn off, how does S2 fare without threading the same ground?

Fairly well actually. It satisfyingly resolves a lot of the foreshadowing a buildup from S1 regarding Joufuku, as well as give neglected members Yuugiri and Tae their own special spotlight episodes. You'd never expect a prefecture-shilling idol anime to have some decent lore, let alone actual payoff for teasing that ...

I am someone who rates based of how much I enjoyed a series instead of rating it based of quality. Quality wise, I'd rate Zombieland Saga S2 an 8/10, but because I enjoyed it so much, I give the series a 10/10.

I never thought I would enjoy idol anime, but here I am. The show is hilarious, it has quality music and has a subjectively good story line.

The anime which are categorized as "original" are on a roll this year.

I'd recommend this anime for anyone who is in it for the enjoyment.

I can't wait for season 3 (if MAPPA is ever ...

A very big let-down in comparison with season one, with a few great episodes sprinkled in.

If you are a fan of the first season, I am sorry, but don't expect the quality, spirit, and drive of those episodes. I still think you should watch season 2, but its very average and generic. Its almost as if the success of zombie land drew the attention of higher-ups and crushed its soul. No idea if that is the case or not, but season two was pretty stultifying.

That said, episodes 8 and 9 are absolute gems. 10/10 imo. Don't miss out on those.

Zombieland Saga Revenge is a disappointment to say the least. After a very solid first season, this season doesn't do anything special, and fails to answer the questions presented in the first.

The overall pacing is rather bad, it either lingers on nothing, or speeds through events. Out of nowhere, two episodes are interspersed between a slight cliff hanger— the kicker being these two episodes don't actually explain the specific things you'd want to know from the first season— it focuses on the historical background about couple of characters, one who barely has a personality during these episodes. There's no character development of any kind ...

If you are reading this chances are you either either looking for validation for your own feelings about the show or are looking for reasons to continue after Season 1.

Either way I will give you what you want--- this show is easily one of the best shows I have seen in the last half a decade, including Attack on Titan.

Where to start, there is so much right about this show that summarizing it in a relatively short review is fairly difficult. Zombieland Saga: Revenge builds upon the foundation of the 1st season and makes everything significantly better.

From the characters to the music to ...

Should you watch this?: Sure, the second season has very interesting plot points an progresses very well. I'd even say it's a show to at least watch once or more if you want.

Story: Well without giving away much of the later stuff. At first it could be kinda confusing on where it left off, but quickly tells you what happened. Throughout the season you see multiple situation that actually slowly add to the grander story which makes it that much more likable. And trust me when I say making it to the episodes around the end of the season has been worth it as ...

It's safe to say that Zombieland Saga Revenge absolutely blew season 1 out of the water. The art, animation, soundtrack, character moments just EVERYTHING was such an improvement - considering season 1 was so good this is truly a feat. Really just everything about this season was fantastic, I'll get into specifics later but this season really knew when to be serious and when not to be - some moments I'd be dying with laughter, others tensed up on the edge of my seat and others damn near crying, it was such a rollercoaster in the best way possible.

First of all I want to talk ...
