Is this a Zombie? - Recommendations

sothis says...

I'm not fully sure why, but these totally remind me of each other. Sure, Angel Beats doesn't have anything to do with magical girls and it's less spazzy, but both are downright fun, have hilarious random violence (including maimings and death, sometimes downright gory), a perpetually pissed off (or at least, very assertive) leading lady, etc. I think if you enjoyed the overall ride of one, you should try out the other.

Chitaka says...

Both involve main characters who are unable to die, but often randomly get maimed to the point where they would die, for no other reason than random comedy. Angel Beats!is a little more story and a little less humor (not by much) than Kore wa Zombie though. Both of the aforementioned main characters are also 'brought back to life' in a sense as well, with some sort of back story as to how they died.

awpaperwings says...

Enjoy watching protagonist and cast die in bizarre, ridiculous and hilarious ways? These two shows provide some great death-related laughs as well as just some straight up crazy humor.

KittyEmperor says...

Maybe it's the fact that in both series the main character can get killed and then a short time later come back as if nothing happened.  Then again it could very well be the hilarious violence or the great cast of characters that both series have or even the way to both series make death into something rather funny.  If you liked one then you might like the other one as well.

Panma says...

Angel Beats and Kore wa Zombie offer an intriguing fictional world where characters are forced into unfamiliar situations. Do not be fooled, both shows offer an immense dose of humor and hilarious skits. While Angel Beats seems to have a better grasp on running humor, Kore wa Zombie definitely has a good grasp on being able to mock other genres.

ItsumoHitori says...

Angel Beats! and Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka? are both intriguing, funny, original shows that you will not regret watching. The two also get serious and dramatic at times, though to different degrees, and are quite entertaining in that violence is used for humour the majority of the time.

Morwen says...

Both of these shows mix violent comedy with at times dark supernatural drama. Zombie is heavier on the comedy and at times aims for over-the-top parodies of anime tropes, while overall Angel Beats! takes itself a little more seriously and has less of a harem romance, but they still feel pretty similar in terms of their setting and sense of humor. Angel is also somewhat similar to Eucliwood as a character. Definitely give one a try if you enjoyed the other!

Edmond says...

If you've watched Angel Beats! or Kore wa Zombie desu ka? I can almost garuntee you'll like the other due to similar Humor. Both main characters have an uncanny sense of justice and are killed many times over in almost every episode. More so, they both contain light hearted romance theme.

So if you're looking for another bundle of laughs, I would recommend this to you!

HarioSagara says...

Hilarious! Otonashi and Ayumu are both average guys that have now become undead average guys. Now they're both about to become apart of an insane supernatural world, whether they want to or not. Both shows are filled with great characters and hilarious situations, if you liked one you'll more than likely enjoy the other.

Mayank says...

These two shows are very different in tone but they share a few similarities. Mainly, the fact that the main protagonist keeps "dying" and coming back. Both shows involve the MC building friendships with other characters progressively along the way. Angel Beats is pretty serious overall but I found the humour in both stories equally amusing. 

sothis says...

Hilarious violence and gore, glorious randomness and an overall fun/ridiculous feel? Totally check out these two titles. ^_^

auatarch says...

I came into Kore wa Zombie expecting one thing, and was surprised to find an incredible similarity to Dokuro-chan. Both feature a very random sense of humor and a main character that is humiliated, maimed, or even killed at every available opportunity.Though Zombie has some Magical Girl thrown in, the series are still similar enough to warrant a recommendation.

icelander08 says...

Both series have wierd humor and gore, though dokuro chan has more gore and Kore wa zombie desuka has more randomness. So if you liked the gore jokes or randomness in either shows, you would like the other.

KittyEmperor says...

Okay so besides the fact that both main characters in each series tend to suffer an ungodly amount of punishment from friend and foe alike.  Both series also share a very similar style of humor with a nice blend of violence and ecchi that keep both series entertaining throughout.  If you liked one then I'm sure you'll like the other.

MediumMage says...

i think you will like these because they are extremly comical and the protaganist dies in some wierd way... well i guess he dosent die exactly... but you get the meaning. enjoy!

Thrawn says...

Violent abuse is funny when it's female on male, and it's no different for either of these series. Both have a main male protagonist who suffers pain that would (And does) kill an ordinary human and does it in such a manner that it's entertaining, be it verbal or physical. It adds up to a black comedy and loads of humor overall.

Also helps that they have a nice dose of fan-service and perversion that leads to comedic pain.

Rongezuki says...

Both shows have a similar level of absurdity and are brilliant examples of parodying done right.  If you enjoyed the humor of one, you will almost definately enjoy the other.

DeViouZ says...

Hilarious Gore, Ecchi and comedy scenes also both MC's can't die except that Dokuro revives Sakura and Eucliwood repairs Ayumu.

Definitely worth checking out

HarioSagara says...

You'd think being unable to die would have it's perks, right? Not when it means constant severe physical abuse including dismemberment, being beaten to a bloody pulp by a spiky bat and the embaressment of being forced to be a mahou shojo, complete with the girly costume. These are the lives of Sakura and Ayumu, the respective main characters. Both hilarious shows but while Dokuro-chan has only blood and echi Kore wa Zombie has more of a variety of humor and a better storyline.

Garyuu says...

Both shows are romantic comedies dealing with zombies. These two shows also have a non-tradtional type of zombie. Because of this, the main character gets into many humorous situations.

RDarkSchneider says...

Deals with Zombies, but different situations. One is a comedy which only gets serious at the end and the other is a boy and a girl falling in love. That simple even though she is a zombie.

MOJ says...

Both of them involve untraditional zombies and hilarious situations. Either way, the protagonist in both animes gets to face the blunt force of zombification, whether it is being a zombie (Kore wa Zombie desu ka) or taking care of one (Sankarea).

hamletsmage says...

Both of these animes take on a non-traditional view of of zombies. Which allows the zombies to keep their human sides, allowing for comedic relief from the "plots". They also feature just a little (okay, more than a little) fanservice. The main guy has the typical, perverted best friend, and the rest of his companions seem to be girls. The similarities continue, so why not give both a try?

Doomoo says...

No anime really comes real close to being similar to Kore wa Zombie dsu ka? but if I had to choose I'd pick Sankarea. I say this because they both explore a very none traditional zombie nature that is not seen in most other series. That is to say that they are not just braindead maneaters. So both of these series share that special trait that is suprisingly hard to find. Anyway if you are fan of zombies and are tired of the same old stereotypical zombies then you should check these two anime out and if you liked one of these for that reason be sure to check the other one out as well.

sabrielsharmony says...

in both anime the zombies are very coherent although i would have to say that sankarea is way more dramatic. Both are entertaining and funny.

FullmetalDragon says...

Both series are romantic comedies featuring zombies and a whole lot of weirdness. They're both very good, so if you liked one I'm sure you'll like the other. 

JONDAMAN says...

both have a main chara who has become a zombie and has to adjust to there new life. one is more action-y while the other is a kind of a slower slice of (un)life. both also have romance in them but more so in sankarea.

LancerFIN says...

In both of these series the main cast is very similiar. Presence of Ikaros and Nymph in Sora no Otoshiomono and Hellsythe and Haruna in Zombie. Both Ayumu and Tomoki keep getting in embarrassing situations. Plus some gender blender though little less in Otoshiomono. Similarity is outstanding. If you liked one of these be sure to check the other one out.

hannes33 says...

I would recommend it, because

the humor is similar

both deal about fantasy themes wrapped up in a reality environment

and some fighting is also incuded.

The main reason they share, however, is the ridiculously funny humor

NathanC244 says...

Both have a male protagonist that is surrounded by girls with magical powers and abilities. Both have a somewhat emotionless character. Both have similar comedy styles and level of ecchi-ness.

Thatguy19 says...

Both are just very over the top comedies.  Very good for some cheap perverted laughs.  I would recommend either of these to people who like animes with just a bit of light-hearted perverted humor

IGSF says...

While there is some ecchi at times, these are both hilarious animes that, when taken the right way (that is, not seriously), are very enjoyable and fun to watch.

Zaig says...

Both of these anime are fanservicy comedies with monsters or other supernatural creatures. At first, monstrous females are the male protagonist’s enemies, but after battling, they end up becoming his friend and are subsequently added to his ever increasing harem! The main heroines - Yuu and Inner Moka - similarly have an air of coolness in whatever they do, easily making them the more favorable characters.

hamletsmage says...

Both of these animes revolve around a guy that is completely out-of-his-element, and finds himself with a harem of otherworldly women. Both animes also involve just a bit of school life. They also involve ecchi, slapstick comedy, and some pretty interesting antagonists. 

ScarletEmerald says...

Both are harem action/comedies with supernatural elements, including monster girls, and a monster-of-the-week style.  Zombie is more over-the-top though, and I feel has higher quality story and animation.

sabrielsharmony says...

in both shows there is an array of different supernatural characters all attracted to one guy. also both have a lot of panty shots.

XxMicrochibixX says...

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? and Rosario Vampire are both harem anime featuring girls that are either supernatural or magical. Both contain lots of comedy and fanservice, so if you like one there is a chance you will like the other.

JohnWatchAnime says...

The main protagonist is dealing with a couple of girls with supernatural powers in both series. If you like one of them you will most likely like the other one also.

Etue says...

Kore wa zombie desu ka? Is basically a parody of the genre of anime that Date a Live is part of.It is a rather highly rated parody of the supernatural Harem genre. Both series of course sport a varied cast of supernatural girls with rather peculiar but popular personality times. If you liked Date a Live and want to see a parody of it's genre, look Kore wa zombie desu ka? up. If you want to know what type of anime Kore wa zombies desu ka? parodies there's hardly a better example. 

Thrawn says...

Guys surrounded by beautiful girls who are thrown in over their heads and forced to adapt to wacky lifechanges; hijinks ensue. From Date A Live and alien girls causing trouble and wrecking stuff to Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka and it's own girls wrecking Ayumu, the girls become orbiting planets to the guy's sun and play off him for comedy. Neither one shy away from action, containing plenty of flare and fanservice and both actually play around with the ecchi genre, taking an unconventional path when they could have gone with the tried and true.

Brad says...

A relatively normal guy surround by a harem of powerful, supernatural girls is the main element of both shows. The main difference is that Kore was Zombie desu ka? is a parody of the supernatural harem genre, and Date A Live is a pretty perfect example of what exactly it's trying to parody. So if you enjoy Date A Live and want to see a parody of the genre then look no further. And if you enjoyed Kore wa Zombie desu ka? and want to see a non-parody version, Date A Live should fit the bill.

Bestanimeserie says...

Both shows are harem shows, and have girls with supernatural powers in them. Both shows have a combination of ecchi, comedy, action and a little bit of romance. Also Kore wa Zombie desu ka? is an show that is parodying supernatural harem shows, whilst Date a Live is a show that is a supernatural comedy.

jypsel says...

Both Kore was Zombie desu ka? and High School of the Dead pack in an insane amount of hilarity, the supernatural and ecchi.  HotD is a bit darker but they both have the same humor, using a group of eclectic people battling against dark forces.

Rayray1000 says...

they both are are hilarious and have some really good action HOTD might have a little more violence but if you lik one you will like the other.

arkanox says...

They are both action-ecchi fests with a thin veneer of plot. HSOTD does this much better than KWZDK however.

hamletsmage says...

Zombies? (Well, if you can call Ayumu a zombie, sure) Boobs? Both have that in spades. Along with that, both animes have a very dark sense of humor. 

Scythes says...

Both series feature a bunch of supernatural girls who shouldn't exist in the same universes together. Seems legit.

BSLIONS says...

I really liked Kore Wa Zombie desu ka? Also have really like what I've seen from the first few episodes of Rokujyoma no Shinryakusha. As far as similarites, both very funny, both feature a bunch of different types of girls with different powers living under one roof with one lucky/unlucky guy.

SugarTitSenpai says...

Rokujouma and Kore wa zombie, Are very a like but ina weird way different.

They are both comedy slice of lifes with a little something different, but the two can be seperated easily. 

Rokujouma is a Harem that involves a lighter type of strange people, where kore wa zombie is much darker (Avoiding spoilers at max here, be best to watch them to find out what i mean)

I cant gaurantee you will enjoy both series, as those who like Kore wa zombie may not be entirely favoured into watching Rokujouma, but if you are looking for something similar and want a change of pace from either series, i can happily ay these two will make a nice watch.

Grizz says...

If you liked this, then you will probably like this too. As they both feature the Supernatural cohabitation that will keep your attention glued to the screen!

sothis says...

If you want a hilarious dose of slapstick comedy combined with ecchi (that even I, a non-ecchi lover, enjoyed) and a hefty dose of 'manservice', you seriously need to see these titles. If you just watched Zombie and haven't seen 11eyes, don't worry about it - in my opinion this can be enjoyed without knowledge of the series.

Shiraiyuki says...

If you like Kore wa Zombie dusu ka I'm sure you'll like 11eyes Special and vice versa, because both animes are similar. Both of them are ecchi animes and also have a lot of magic/supernatural powers and violence,and there's also the comedy part, that contributes to the overall enjoyment of this anime.

DeViouZ says...

If you watched either Kore wa Zombie or 11Eyes(special), you'll like the other,

Both have Fantasy, slapstick comedy, Fanservice scenes and both of them are also very enjoyable wether you are a Ecchi-fan (like me) or not.

A real recommendation and it should definitely be checked out.

Xjylix says...

"TMoHS" and "Kore wa Zombie desu ka?" have various things in common.

The humor is somewhat the same(hilarious). Some characters really look like each other. There are supernatural powers involved ^_^

If you liked the one, I'm pretty sure you'll like the other one too.

Note: Kore wa Zombie desu ka? may be a bit more 'inappropiate' xD but it isn't too extreme xp

hamletsmage says...

The main reason for this is how similar the characters are. There's the bossy Haruna/Haruhi, the quiet Yuuki/Yuu, and the straight-man Kon/Ayumu. Both animes also mash together several genres and combine them with a bit of comedy and a bit of ecchi (Zombie a bit more than Melancholy). If you like one, you'll probably like the other. 

CorlorlessRose says...

has the same humor in herem cattorgory. The main guy has 3 wowen around  him and he is forced to live with them at school or home
