Zombieland Saga - Idol Anime's Gateway Drug

zombieland saga is THE BEST OVERWHELMING ANIME EVER. Like, dig deeper, read the lyrics of their songs then analyze it and connect them with the stories and just watch them growing and having that desire to live once again after their short lives, that they finally get to “live” again. JUST WATCH IT

Things I don't like:

This was a trick setup for me. They put me in an apt with a girl that was dressed up as the first girl in the first episode. The apt looked exactly as the one in the show.
She was nice a friendly which was surprising for some of the people there. She told me she was going to die today. Thought it was odd. She told me she was in a play and this was her time.

She stepped out and got hit by a vehicle.

There was another chinese woman standing there ensuring that that girl was killed and went through with it. She started yelling at me screaming "you think your market is tough? We don''t fuck around in China".

They had setup a trick area in Dubai to mimic part of China apparently. There were trying to move me around to various areas of trick stages and drug me in between to disorientate me.

I am unsure of the purpose..to scare me at the time?

The woman was deranged and I didnt know she was a slave outright. She had a gun and asked me to shoot her if I could (this was a trend at the time, I know why for slaves but I am unsure I was unsure why for others - Some/most believe people in that environment don't have it in them to hurt someone in a supervisor/parental position due to hierarchy..a way to demonstrate submissive behaviour to that demand).

I shot her in the chest and she tried to hide it. She told me she was a slave after.

Read the manga and lore released by this anime.

Robot idol, yakuza idol, zombie idol. It's all a metaphor for the inhuman working environment in Japan...

After watching the first oshi no ko episode i was astonished and wanted to watch something similar and remembered hearing good things about zombieland saga. Not what i expected. Turned out to be better. Now want to see the aliens.

Finally watched this show and I am just blown away by the music and the character writing. You can feel the love they put into each of the girls but especially Lily in my opinion. She was written with so much care it made me cry

It's kind of funny seeing you bring up Yugiri being a sex worker and now a modern day idol, given what we learn of her backstory in Revenge.

Nah I am good I still have no interest in idol anime I walked back out the gateway after zombieland saga.

The waffle House has found it's new host

This video is hilarious in hindsight of how batshit insane this franchise became after Season 1 with its supplemental material.

I luv them all so much, but Yugiri is my queen! I wait every day for a 3rd season.

I’m surprised how many people didn’t realize Lily was trans

Ok now I NEED you to talk about that fucking S2 ending

Like they all got killed by aliens???

As far as idol franchises go, idolm@ster probably has the best characters, by the time they got to the anime they've had years of games, radio dramas and more to develop personalities that are more than the base tropes they started with, also it takes full advantage of its massive music catalog .
I admit the pov gimmick in the first episode is a little odd, but as a fan of the games it really made it feel like the communication sequences when you talk to them and stuff.

My little sisters like this anime so I watch it with them.

Instead of a little trans girl they should've made her average male height (a tall female) and given her a slightly lower, but just as cute and feminine as the rest of the cast. Would make it far more realistic.... not that that' the point here, they're zombies, it's obviously not the point.

️¨̮

I hope you do a video on Revenge!

I absolutely love this anime if I didn't watch this vid I wouldn't have seen it :D ❤️

I adore this show

And, not only that, your talk about how different standards of idol femininity are valid, the biker, the sexual, the trans girl, easily translates into how these are all valid for real women as well, all femininity is valid just as all idols should be valid, and that's a delightful message to see put out so well.

i watched it just for the waifus lmao

Dude I didn't notice Lily was transgender, it flew over my head.

Wait till you see the live performance

The ending... What the fuck

After season 2 I absolutely love Yugiri, and I love that this show made her such a badass without sacrificing a single fragment of her femininity. Butch women are amazing, genuine people, but it's so important to recognize that adopting a masculine quality is not required for a woman to be great. It is enough for a woman to simply be herself.

My favorite idol is actually a parody idol episode from the classic Martin Successor Nadesico and the character is Ruri Hoshino.

Iv watched the show about 4 times 😅 and not once did i realise lily was trans that flew right over my head 😂

wait.... she`s transgender ?????

A little late, but great prediction about the ending of the Saga Jihen two parter.

I don't think any idol manga is gonna be good just because zombie land was good, i think zombieland is especially good because of the very different experiences of each member and the fact that they're able to be wiser because, well they're dead already, and they spend much more time reflecting on themselves and who they truly are and what they actually want and what all this means to them. also i'm pretty sure other idol anime don't have a manager as annoying as kotaro😂😂😂 kotaro makes 40% of this show on his own. and let's not forget the metal fans they've been there since day 1 it's so heart warming! I can't wait for when franchouchou become the best in the world and the two metal fans can say that they were always there from the first concert.

“The final episode ai predict…”

In the wake of the season 2 finale I think we’ve learned to NEVER predict where this show is going to go

I like how everyone agrees that tae is the best idol lol.
Besides her being really cute and chaotic I really enjoy how she is being treated by others in the show. They do not hate on her when she is being weird and even though she can’t sing she still does her best and the girls appreciate it. They do not force her to sing or look down on her, she is just as important as everyone else in the group

atsku nare. kinda make heat up song

wait i JUST got that it's saga prefecture so they can call it zombieland saga

They got me too lmao

No one noticed Lily was not aging

I've really wanted to check this out for a while, but the shame of what I'd be watching put me off, but I'm definitely gonna check it now, thanks again for the recommendation

I hope we can hear your thoughts on the amazing second season soon!!!

Seriously your amazing

Best idol series ever. And since this I watched all the idol series. It’s the best

We need an update video for the last season hahaha

Yugiri is wife material, full stop

tae-chan is best girl and no one can tell me otherwise

Odd-Taxi was my favorite idol anime.

i didn't become a fan of idols animve after zombieland because i think the main reason zombieland saga does it for me is because they're already dead, they got nothing to lose so they literally do anything they want. it's just perfect. Plus the emotions though😭😭😭
and not even mentioning Takumi screaming at them all the time like they're worthless lol it's just funny how he is so arrogant even though they're the ones that do all the work😭

after watching Sankarea, I banned all zombie anime from watch list. think a zombie girl is a too sad of an existence to ever be entreating.

PS
it seems truck-kun has disregarded the 2nd part of his task and is only running around killing like a psicopat
