Anime Review ~ Zombie-Loan


Strange things have been happening in an average Japanese high-school. Kita Michiru, a person born with Shinigami Eyes is able to see a black ring around a person's neck if their demise is nearing. Disturbed by this macabre ability, she wore glasses to prevent herself from seeing those black rings.

In an unfortunate encounter with the school's most popular boys - Shita Tachibana and Chika Akatsuki, sh found herself being involved in a world beyond human comprehension and the popular boys are a part of it.

She learns of an organizations called Zombie-Loan where it's clients are bound by a contract to fulfill their destiny and paying "life debts" of some sort by hunting "illegal zombies" - zombies created by external forces without proper contract. Something like underworld loan-sharks.

Thus begins a journey of friendship, adventure and self discovery for the trio.

Characters:


~Kita Michiru*~

A high schooler who lost her parents in a car accident, she lives with her aunt who doesn't really like her presence in the house. Michiru feels lonely and unloved which mat describe why she agreed to join the Zombie-Loan. Her Shinigami Eyes are a useful assets to hunt 'illegal zombies' which is the payment method for Chika and Shito.


~*Chika Akatsuki*~

A cheerful and rambunctious man with a sligthy arrogant nature. His weapon is the sword(katana) and he seems to have high sense of honor and pride. His loyal nature is what appeals to most of hi fangirls. He and Shito supposed have died in a fatal car accident but they decided to live as Zombies in order to get back their life.



~*Shito Tachibana*~

A stoic, secretive and haughty young man who have deep dark secrets that weighs heavily on his heart. His weapon is the gun/revolver. He gets drunk easily. He and Chika seem to argue incessantly but beneath his facade he actually cares very deeply about his partner, Chika. He often annoys Chika by refusing to call him with his first name.

My own verdict is that Zombie-Loan is very original in everyway - plot, characters, story line and execution.
My only criticism is that they could improve on the animation style. Chicken legs and bodies as thick as your wrists isn't exactly...possible. Also, why isn't there a damn second season???
