Is This a Zombie? has arrived on Crunchyroll and Hulu, offering the complete 12-episode first season with both English dub and subtitles. The series throws Ayumu Aikawa, a high schooler murdered by a serial killer, into an absurd afterlife where he's resurrected as a zombie by a necromancer named Eucliwood Hellscythe.
Adding to the chaos, Ayumu unwillingly takes on the magical girl persona of 'Haruna' after a magical girl named Haruna Sairenji leaves her magical chainsaw, Mystletainn, with him. Studio Deen, known for its work on KonoSuba and Fate/stay night, produced this surreal blend of urban fantasy, harem comedy, and supernatural action.
The anime, adapted from Shinichi Kimura's manga, holds a 7.32 on MyAnimeList from over 354,000 voters. It leans heavily into its bizarre premise, featuring a cast of eccentric characters including a vampire ninja and a magical landlady, all interacting with Ayumu's unique zombie-magical girl existence.
While the anime concluded with its first season, a subsequent OVA expanded the story. The series is a complete binge-watch for those seeking a wild ride through genre-bending humor and over-the-top magical battles.
