You’ve got school girls, and you’ve got zombies. Even the title doesn’t leave a hell of a lot to the imagination. Even if you like weird garbage anime like I do, skip this one – it's really not worth it.This is a game that knows exactly what it is. Something else? Probably there is, but I'm tired of thinking about this anime already.
Anime zombie hunter girl movie#
The scene with smashing a dog's head with a sledgehammer is the best example of macabre that serves no purpose other the movie trying to be edgy, but coming out nothing but obnoxious. And it comes from someone who likes slasher films and gory anime. It just happens, often in a "comedic" way, which often made me uncomfortable with how stupid and uncalled for it all was. But hey, I've said already this is more or less a slasher movie, so why pointless? Because there's pretty much no reason for half of the violence and death. This stuff is embarrassing, occasionally painful (expository dialogue was like the driest thing ever). I'm not sure I've heard dumber conversations and more half-assed voice acting in my whole experience in anime. I wanted everyone to drop dead and I was sad it didn't fully happen. This includes everyone – I guess it tried to follow the slasher film formula (the axe in the picture in the right might be a clue – there's no axe in the actual movie though), but the titular Zombie, who shoul be threatening, might be the dumbest of them all. There was nothing funny or over-the-top about it, like in Hand Shakers for example, it was just plain bad. – Awful art (simply ugly, at times somewhat and at times horribly so – I can't remember any other anime that was this visually unappealing or had characters so poorly designed) and junky animation.
This one, however, was physically painful to watch – there's no fun to be had here, intentional or not. I'm actually a sucker for bad anime – I like watching really low-budget or poorly-made shows, laughing at their absurdity and noting down their failures in reviews. The dialog was painfully stiff and at times incomprehensible and crunchyroll’s absurdly bad subtitling job didn’t help this, it rendered it almost completely unwatchable on top of it being unwatchably bad in general. Once and a while the animation was decent, but it was mostly pretty bad, very choppy and poorly drawn. The musical score is generic and bland, the sound effects sound very stock, the voice acting is fine but nothing special and the artstyle is hideous. I really, really don’t know what they were going for here, but even if you ignore the writing and focus on the other aspects it’s still completely awful. Too many scenes seemed to be played for comedy like a girl screaming like an ecchi comedy lead, only to rip someone’s arm off and transition the scene into gory horror with nothing to indicate it was now going to play the horror tropes straight instead of taking the piss like it just did two seconds ago. Jumping from a stupid comedy scene to a kung fu battle back to comedy to intensely brutal gore made my head spin and it does it quite often. Was it trying to be a comedy, a trashy action movie, or a horror anime? At some point they must not have known what to go with so it’s ALL OF THEM AT ONCE! The reason this show made me wish I too were a shambling corpse instead of a living person was twofold: the high level of stupidity the plot throws at you every single scene, and the strange, schizophrenic tone of it all. a new zombie shows up to fight the old zombie in a ridiculous super-powered basketball game. The story is absolute nonsense where some idiots accidentally unleash the ultimate evil from a coffin in the basement of a university: two Gothic Lolitas who are also super powered zombies! The rest of the movie is about them fighting said zombies in baffling stupid ways. At times I couldn't stop laughing, at times I was on the verge of crying, but regardless of my emotional state the entire time I watched this OVA I wanted to die. I had no idea what this was when I saw it pop up on crunchyroll, so I took a chance and watched it.
