Anime: Zombie Loan

Zombie Loan


Summary:

Zombie loan tells the story of a young girl named "Michiru Kita" who possess the so called "shinigami no me" which translates to "death god eyes" that can see black rings around people's nick. The rings darkens over time as the person approaches their time of death. Michiru Kita meets two boys from her school ("Chika Akatsuki" and "Shito Tachibana") that have these rings and when she looks into the matter, she discovers that they are in fact dead and had to make a deal with an agency called "Zombie-Loan" and they have to kill zombies to pay back their debt. Her life gets more complicated.
Review:
Zombie loan is a great anime. It offers a good, lightweight,not-complicated story that will serve as a good time distraction. It will keep you entertained most of the time and you'll actually will be wanting even more. The fact that it only has 11 episodes is kind of good and bad, because when it ends you'd find yourself wanting more and more. But that's not entirely wrong of you, because of the fact the ending wasn't so satisfying at all! In fact, it was missing a lot of "closure" if you will, and leaves you hanging scratching your head wondering about alot of unexplained things! But that doesn't cover the fact it's a good ride to enjoy!
The character development wasn't that great and it could need a little more depth. There are certain unanswered questions that most people seem to share. Like, how did "Michiru-san" ever get the shinigami eyes? Or what "Bekko-san" is up to? These questions and more will remain unanswered, I guess.
Rating:
I give this anime a good 8.5/10. It deserves it for it's good story-line and funny moments.
