Well, it's near summertime so I decided to write this review after watching the second OVA. Why? Because, the fun in the sun continues as Ayumu has fun with his harem of supernatural girls. Is This Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead OVA will be a good starter for those who wants to continue watching the sequel series if you enjoyed the original season 1. I mean, this episode has all the fantasies guys can dream of: - the cute delusions of Eu - the cosplay of Haruna - the seductive vampire mistress of Sera The typical fun stuff you see. Of course, fun does come at a priceif you watch Ayumu carefully watch throughout the series as he gets teared apart by the sun literally. Then surprisingly, we see a more serious side to the OVA especially with our beloved necromancer. Behind those cute delusions we all adore lies a girl who seems to be want to be friends with others yet feels lonely. And of course, it's not easy being alone during the summer by yourself. Immortality is no excuse for being alone. She feels lonely and and our main character tries to be there for her. From a fansub: "People can't avoid misfortune. There are a lot of bad things in life. There might be times when you want to die. But birthdays are blessings, celebrating that we managed to live through the previous year." Never feel lonely because someone out there, someone does care for you. All in all, this short OVA is great for a laugh. It has a lot of fan-service so if you have a serious problem with that, then feel free to drop it. If not, then have some fun. After all, summer is all about fun in the sun. Even zombies needs it. show less

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? OVA (2011-2012) So this set of OVA is actually marginally better than the main show but only since they have all the characters established if you watch the first season. This is effectively an extra episode for the 1st season and an episode 0 for the second. The art style is the same as before being so close and has aged well. The OP, ED, OST and sound generally are the same level. Wonderful when Eu speaks. Characters develop a bit here too especially Taeko makes a big announcement in the first OVA and you get more background on Eu inthe second. Sarasvati also makes a big announcement from the shadows. This time we get more ecchi than before and it is a set of shorts within each episode. One thing I especially enjoyed is a continuation of the waterpark episode since that did feel slightly shorter than expected with the way it went. Eu also I do want to know her age. 9/10, much better than before and a lasting impression has been made.

Hey, remember that really strong twelfth episode of 'Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?', where the production team discovered that they were out of plot, and instead of adding an epilogue they attempted to shoehorn in a really weird, badly distracted and potentially schizophrenic 'obligatory beach episode'? Well, here's what you've been holding your breath for, folks: an 'obligatory festival episode' and 'obligatory tournament episode' rolled up into one convenient package, only it's too creepy for television. No, not 'malevolent Lovecraftian entity' creepy—it's more of a 'brazenly staring up girls' skirts under various circumstances while breathing heavily' creepy. Whoops... I just spoiled the entireplot. My bad.
