This is a very 6/10 kinda show for me. I’m just disappointed…
The opening episode along with the first few episodes grabbed my attention, setting a promising direction for the plot. A zombie comedy with impactful moments sounded great. However, as I continued watching, it didn’t really turn out as I expected. It started feeling more and more like a shitty isekai. Where the main characters just spout out generic dialogue.
The show attempts a no-stakes, lighthearted comedy vibe, but inconsistently places characters in serious situations. The tonal shift is sooo bad. On one hand, it insists, ‘Hey, this is a post-apocalyptic world, our characters are in constant danger,’ and on the other, it pulls absurd stunts then insisting that ‘Everything’s been fine all along, nothing to worry about.’ The show struggles to embrace its own absurdness, caught between conflicting tones. Its telling us to both take it seriously and not at the same time. This is ripping apart the characters to the point I can’t even hope to connect with a single one of them.
While the premise is fantastic, the characters disappoint. It feels like a budget Konosuba, attempting the same chemistry as Kazuma and the gang but falling short. The potential is there, but the execution is well below what it should’ve been
