There was a bit of a drought of Zombie anime since last spring, and now all of a sudden it’s back in a big way.

And, thank the Lovecraftian gods, none of it is more ‘High School of the Dead’!

Anime News Network has their Spring Spotlight out, and lo and behold, this time around there are two Zombie anime series.

First, a sequel to the Zombie Friendly-rated ‘Kore wa Zombie desu ka?/Is This a Zombie’, amusingly subtitled ‘of the Dead’.

Very droll. We’re looking forward to it; Zombie protagonists are hard to come by on television after all.

Second up is Sankarea, based on the manga of the same name, which concerns a young Zombie fan who apparently takes a bold step into necromancy after his cat dies.

Could this be a more positive and uplifting Pet Sematary? Oh I hope so. Zombie pets need love too.

The ZRC blog will keep you posted on further developments.
