Main Character Introduction

Here we provide a detailed introduction to the main characters.

Ayumu Aikawa

Aikawa Ayumu is a boy who, for some reason, lives his school life as a zombie. His parents are traveling abroad, and Ayumu has been living off convenience store bento all this time. That's why he's known as a convenience store maniac. He's also a character with a dark past, having won first place in the "person whose thoughts are hard to understand" category in a class survey.

Haruna

Haruna is a magical girl who fell from the sky and ended up at Ayumu's house. She came from the magical world of "Verie" to fight a monster called Megalon. She has a tsundere personality, and her charm point is her bouncing ahoge. She transforms with a chainsaw (the magical alchemist Mistilteinn) and calls herself a genius, but often has trouble remembering other people's names correctly. She is good at cooking and makes very delicious food.

Yu (Eucliwood Hellscythe)

Yu's real name is Eucliwood Hellscythe, and Ayumu calls her Yuu. She also ends up staying at Ayumu's house. She always wears plate armor and gauntlets, and never takes them off. She doesn't show her emotions, and she doesn't speak aloud, but communicates by writing curt sentences on a notepad. Although the written words are kept to a minimum, Ayumu sometimes adds delusional corrections.

Sera (Seraphim)

Sera's real name is Seraphim, and she is commonly known as "Sera." She comes from a vampire ninja village somewhere in Japan. She has the ability to turn leaves into blades, and her specialty is the "secret sword, swallow reversal." Her hobbies and special skills are also the "secret sword, swallow reversal." She has black hair in a ponytail, big breasts, and a sharp tongue. She often tells Ayumu that he is "gross," but that is also one of Ayumu's charms. When she cooks, she often produces deadly items.

Tomonori

Tomonori's real name is Yuki Yoshida, but she is called "Tomonori" because of her boyish personality of playing in shorts even in winter. She is a healthy, outdoorsy girl and belongs to the track and field club. She seems to have a secret, but the details have not been revealed.

Sarath (Saraswati)

Sarasu is a vampire ninja and Sera's superior. At school, she goes by the name Hoshikawa Kirara and works as an internet idol. She can control water and uses a water sword as her weapon. She's a very tough, "tsun" girl, but she likes Ayumu's unexpected side.

Chris

Chris is a mysterious woman whom Ayumi met in the school's science preparation room. She has a cheerful personality, but she appears and disappears suddenly, like a ghost. She has vertical curls in her hair and wears white lolita clothes, and she loves old man jokes.

Orito

Orido has been friends with Ayumu since kindergarten, but Ayumu finds him quite annoying. He loves girls and has data on all the girls in the school. Although everyone calls him annoying, he is someone that cannot be hated.

Taeko Hiramatsu

Taeko Hiramatsu is a classmate of Ayumu and an honor student who has the highest grades in her grade. She is a shy girl who is not very good at talking to people, her special skill is Hyakunin Isshu, and her hobby is reading. She hates ghosts and horror movies, especially zombies.

Kana Mihara

Kanami Mihara is Hiramatsu's friend and a basketball club member with a slightly mature atmosphere. She livens up the class as a bright mood maker.

Shimomura (Anderson)

Shimomura is in the same class as Ayumu, and is a member of the boys' basketball team. He is tall, handsome, and has blue eyes. Because of his appearance, which is unlike that of a Japanese person, he is nicknamed "Anderson" in the "son" part of the "Under" village.

Nene (Naegleria nebilosus)

Nene is a mysterious woman who is said to have the power to rival Chris. She has a dynamite buddy that surpasses Serah's, and is apparently an acquaintance of Yu, but the details have not been revealed.

review

The Is This a Zombie? Volume 6 Limited Edition OVA Blu-ray is a must-have for fans of the series. This OVA depicts the new adventures of Ayumu and his friends, bringing out the best in the series.

First, regarding the story, this OVA depicts Ayumu and his friends facing a new enemy. The series has an excellent balance of comedy and action, allowing you to enjoy both laughter and emotion. In particular, the tsundere exchanges between Ayumu and Haruna are one of the highlights of the series, and this OVA also fully displays that charm. You can also enjoy the contrast between Yuu's expressionless character and Ayumu's delusional correction.

Next, regarding the characters, the personalities of the main characters, including Aikawa Ayumu, have been further developed. The charm of each character is highlighted in Ayumu's life as a zombie, Haruna's battle as a magical girl, and Yu's expressionless communication. In addition, the relationships between the characters are also worth watching, such as Sera's sharp tongue, Tomonori's healthy personality, and Sarasu's tsundere attitude.

The technical skills of the production staff cannot be overlooked. Under the direction of Kanazaki Takaomi, Studio Deen's animation production is of high quality, with beautifully drawn character designs, background art, and color schemes. In particular, the action and magical effects in the battle scenes are spectacular and provide a visual treat. In terms of sound, the sound effects and background music by sound director Iwanami Yoshikazu add excitement to the story, and Kakishima Shinji's music also enhances the atmosphere of the series.

Let's also touch on the theme songs. The opening song "*** Passionato" is sung by Iori Nomizu, and is a song that symbolizes the theme of the series. The ending song "Koi no Beginner Ndesu (T_T)" is sung by Rie Yamaguchi, and the voice resonates in your heart, making you feel the aftertaste of the story. These songs also enhance the appeal of the OVA.

Finally, regarding the evaluation of this OVA, I would say that it is a must-see for fans of the series. It is a work that combines a new story, deepening of characters, and high-quality production techniques. It is recommended for those who want to enjoy the world view of the series further and experience a new adventure.
