Really, when a guy being a crossdressing zombie magical girl just stops being funny, then a series should end. Kore wa Zombie desu ka? Of the Dead beats the humor from the first season into the ground. It makes up for it with the easy solution of even more fan service. So here we are, with a much more standard ecchi show.

Now, how could I truly complain? Well, easily. The writing is crap and the art somewhat above standard but on a subject that has been done to death. There is no rational reason for a second season of this, and it manages to ruin the fresh and cute feel of the first season by removing what little special there was.

Watching Kore wa Zombie desu ka? Of the Dead is a waste of time. Not only that, it may very well make you dumber just for experiencing it. Well, at least it is mediocre masturbation material for people who don't want to watch porn. What is particularly painful is the horrible "plot" that manages to be stupid and noticeable, because the humor goes stale.

Whereas the first season was funny in the dumbest way, Kore wa Zombie desu ka? Of the Dead isn't really funny anymore and is just dumb. It becomes a very standard parody, and loses what little unique feeling it had and the self-aware side it had. You can still enjoy the egregious fan service, but at this point there is nothing more to the series.

Writing (Story and Characters):

Totally terrible for most of the ten episodes. The writing of Kore wa Zombie desu ka? Of the Dead is so horribly bad that it stops being funny. There are some good ideas, but in the end, the crossdressing protagonist just stops being funny, and nothing else is as funny as that otherwise. Really though, it wasn't completely garbage, because the writing just expects you to shut up and enjoy the fan service.

When the premise gets tired, the story has nothing to stand on. The story becomes completely irrelevant except for an excuse for more butts and recycled humor. Unfortunately, there is a real plot that takes over near the end of the series, which manages to have a few gaping holes despite being simple and practically nonexistant. Still, as far as it goes, it is an effective setup for fan service and low brow humor.

The characters are the same cast as the last season. There is no improvement, added depth, nor anything really to improve over the last season. Still, there is the variety of cup sizes personalities you'd expect from a parody/ecchi show.

Where the first season had bad writing, the second season has worse writing. Kore wa Zombie desu ka? Of the Dead is an exercise of stretching out something that should have ended and nothing more. Really though, it's just standard for the genre, only without the charm.

Art (Animation and Sound):

The exact same as last season. Kore wa Zombie desu ka? Of the Dead changes nothing.

Overall:

Don't watch Kore wa Zombie desu ka? Of the Dead, especially if you enjoyed the first season. If you liked the first season, this will do nothing other than take away from the experience. Still, fan service is awesome.
