‘Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?’ is, as previously mentioned, a new anime series debuting in Japan in a few weeks featuring a Zombie protagonist. A fairly lengthy promotional video is now online, and…

Yeah. This looks like one strange show. Part harem-comedy, part horror series, part Magical Girl thing (think Sailor Moon if you’re not an anime fan). It’s novel, at least. Zombies plus Magical Girls? Hmm.

Anime News Network has a bit more of a fleshed out description:

In Shinichi Kimura’s original light novel series, a lazy high school boy named Ayumu Aikawa gets killed during a spate of mysterious serial killings. However, Ayumu is resurrected as a zombie by a necromancer girl named “Yū” (Eucliwood Hellscythe), who Ayumu had just met before dying. Ayumu reawakens in a world surrounded by “masō shōjo” (magically equipped girls) and vampire ninja. Ayumu is assigned the duties of a masō shōjo by a magical warrior girl named Haruna.

So Zombie of Magical Girl Related justice? Fighting vampire ninja maybe?

Well, if that’s the case, you know who we’ll be rooting for here at the ZRC. I’ve embedded the very, very odd video below.
