Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?

Eh, horrible video quality, I thought it might have been as well, but it looked more like a tuxedo. Didn't bother to pause and doublecheck.

I kind of how like how completely sociopathic Haruna is.

Talk about a sudden mood shift.

"Hey you saved the day!"

"YAY! Positive Note Ending!"

STAB

"D:"

That episode's all over the place. It's got the comedic Lethal Chef bit, the dramatic backstory reveal, the new character adding info to the murder plot, Giant Space Whale From Nowhere, Crazy Awesome fight scene ensues then OMIGODSHESDEADWHY.

The Mood Whiplash is amazing in this show...

Ok, this show now has my attention. Let's see if it can meet my expectations.

Episode 5 was pretty stupid, except for the possibility that my WMG might have actually been proven right.

I can't help but lol at Ayumu's fantasizing of Yuu being moe.

Also, I'm confused. Is Twintails the killer? Or is the killer just using Twintails' form?

Okay, so! Episode starts out quite well, If You Know What I Mean, and we finally see the long-awaited (presumable) fifth member of the Aikawa Household Army. Also, something tells me that Dai-sensei isn't as big an airhead as she lets on.

Gotta love Ayumu's hangup-pose-into-fail combo at 10:30, by the way.

Also: woo, there's our Dark Masou Shoujo trope. Though yeah, whether it was her all along or whether she's just been body-snatched is up for grabs. In any case, it seems odd that she wouldn't remember killing Ayumu the first time...

Um… Guys, it was explained. She used she powers to alter everyone's memory, and tried to screw with Ayumu's head in the hospital scene. Which is why she tried to frame Yuu. There's absolutely no indication of body-snatching I can see. And she did remember killing Ayumu; that's why she called commented on him being hard to kill.

So...did she just pile up a bunch of phone booths or something right after talking in the phone?

^^What about the stinger at the end of Episode 4? Where it was shown the viewers that Kyoko had been stabbed in her hospital bed?

^ What he said. That's what is confusing me.

Episode 6 is out. Here comes the Big Bad, folks...

Also, I really kind of hate Dai-sensei. She can't be fucked to clean up one of her students gone serial killer, but she has the time to order Ayumu to fetch tofu for her and set him on fire for his troubles?

Geez, there someone who isn't or won't become a Masou Shoujo? Other than that, I was pretty surprised at how...explicit they showed twintail's injuries and Ayumu's killing her over and over.

So was I, actually. Major Soundtrack Dissonance going on with that - but I think it worked very well.

So, any bets on whether Kyoko will eventually free herself from the Emperor of the Night, or whether she'll have to be killed to destroy him?

One thing I noted: Kyoko refers to Eu with a title at some point that the translators didn't bother adding in (it's a very middling-quality translation, and has been since the series started); something like Seventh Servant. If you listen for it, it's right before Eu breaks out the Power Word: Death on her.

...aww we don't get to hear her voice even when she does speak...I wonder why?

I think that was a very good way to portray it. Ayumu can't hear her speak, but her words are being carved into reality itself by her magic.

Keep in mind that if Ayumu were to hear her speak, he'd have died too.

The more I watch this show, the more awesome it becomes.

I kinda want to drop this show, but each episode is just barely good enough to make me want to keep watching just in case it gets better.

Just barely good enough

Someone's got some high standards. What's putting you off, the crossdressing magical zombie warrior? It's the crossdressing magical zombie warrior, isn't it.

Oh yes, I hate crossdressing zombies.

Actually, it's because 1) I can only take so much tsundere and 2) The show seems to think I'm a bit stupid and require everything important in the show to be repeated over and over again even though this is an incredibly simple and easy plot to follow. I don't mind simple and easy plots, but I do get annoyed when the show thinks it's more than that.

I will say that the show is better than I was expecting. I was thinking it would be completely awful instead of just okay.

...I think him repeating that he's a zombie as well as a masou shoujo, and the constantly letting the audience know that he's a zombie are all just Running Gags...

I was referring more to explaining Yuu's powers after they've already been explained, and similar things. I will give the show credit, though. The newest episode did give the explanation for why Soul-stealer Girl was shown dead at the end of episode four without beating us over the head with it: she intentionally killed herself to regenerate her body.

^^Indeed. "Ore wa zombie 'ssu. Ato, masou-shoujo 'ssu" should actually be listed as Ayumu's catchphrase if it isn't already, or at the very least, as Once an Episode. I can't recall offhand, but I don't think he uses 'ssu (as opposed to desu or da) normally; if he doesn't, then it's definitely a catchphrase.
