I guess this announcement, which hopefully lays the groundwork for a DVD release here in the US, means I have to get the ZRC a Crunchyroll account:

Crunchryoll has announced their first of three simulcast series today with Kore wa Zombie desu ka? which translates so very easy to “Are you a zombie?” which boggles why they aren’t translating it. The new series will run for twelve episodes from Kadokawa Pictures Inc. between January 10, 2011 to March 28, 2011. The series will simulcast at 1 PM ET on Mondays in these regions: North and South America, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, the Netherlands, the Middle East, Africa, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Brazil and Portugal and for subscription-based streaming in the United Kingdom and Ireland

Hooray, I get to evaluate it! I think I can use Playon to stream it to our TV too. Regardless, thanks to the magic of Cross-Pacific electronic publishing, we’ll get to see if Japan can put out a show that’s Zombie Friendly for a change, and almost in real time!

Who knows, maybe this is the first step in a cultural re-evaluation of the way that Japan treats the Differently Animated. We can only hope.
