User Shoten (Score: 8/10):
A quick and simple Review for this OVA. The usual daily doses happen between Chihiro and Rea. Rea starts school and tries to live a normal humble life. Not too much happens and it could be seen as a filler ep, however it does slightly continue after the main series. The ending reveals a new character and gives subtle nudges of things to come. All it did is hype me up for season 2, where are you! Rated it based on how I rated the main series because it felt like an obvious part of it. -
User Mikame- (Score: 7/10):
A nice, cute and simple finish to the first season. Told mostly in the perspective of Baabu, the zombie kitty. It seems to just be a feel-good episode, about Rea going back to school, playing with her zombie power a little and her and Chihiro getting closer. Learning some more about each other, plus little bits of possible romance between the two of them. Baabu makes a friend and you learn more about the deterioration of zombies. The very ending makes you excited for the next season. If there will be one, which lots of us are hoping there will be. It's worth watching. -

This episode was alright. It was narrated by Babu, which is fun. Although, it does seem to have left room for a whole other season, but one hasn't been made. I assume that the following OVA episode will probably end in a cliffhanger. As far as the love story portion of this anime goes, I can't shake the feeling that it just shouldn't be a thing. I get that it's supposed to be quirky and original, but I don't sense any chemistry between the two main characters, even in this single episode where it seems like their relationship is supposed to be progressing. It seems like theending of this episode, as I said, is supposed to lead to something more, but I don't really like that idea either. In this episode Furuya is trying to think of more ways to keep Rea's body from decaying, so I understand that there could be more done, but it just seems like it's becoming too complicated.nnAs always, the voice actor for Furuya is fun to listen to, and Babu is probably my favorite character in the anime, so this episode wasn't a total waste to watch. Not much happened, but it is a sequel to the main series, so if you liked that, I suggest you watch this. - ... and 1 more reviews
