Zombieland Saga Movie: Yumeginga Paradise

“ Zombie Land Saga: Yumeginga Paradise” is the sequel to the anime series Zombie Land Saga. It takes this series into sci-fi and action story, while delivering the emotional core that has grown since the TV series. Story: In this film, zombie idols fight against Aliens. This is why the film is more of a science fiction film than an idol anime. The film mainly focuses on "Legendary Yamada Tae", who is the key to fighting. While this film might not be an outstanding comedy anime like season 1, it does have some comedic sequences with good momentum. As an SF or heromovie, it was good. The action sequences are well executed, but the most important and impressive aspect is the bond between Sakura and Tatsumi, and between Sakura and Tae. These emotions are not illustrated in many scenes, but they are impressive and memorable. Animation work: Mappa did a good job, as they did in the previous two seasons. The film is a fantastic adventure involving fighting Ariens and, of course, singing scenes. The quality was consistent throughout the film, but the final scenes were particularly powerful. Tae's performance as the heroine was particularly emotional. Acting: Kotono Mitsuishi, who played Tae, was perfect for the role of heroine in this film. She portrayed Tae's various facets and delivered an emotional performance. Kaede Hondo, who played Sakura, was also fantastic. Sakura shone throughout the film, not only as a comedienne but also as an idol seeking her dream. Music: The songs of TV series, such as "Adabana Necromancy" and “Bouken Zundokodon” are used, but new songs also appear very effectively. Supporting this "SF and hero film", some very cool numbers were created. Also, the emotional numbers that support the human drama are very effective. The ending theme was a must- listen track. Summary: While it may not surpass the comedic brilliance of TV series, the exploration of the characters' emotions and bonds is highly successful. As a zombie SF idol anime film, it was engaging and worthwhile.
