Yes! Equal opportunity fanservice is good. Also love the Video Commentary! Recent FUNimation releases seem to include them now, which is nice. Hopefully, we'll get more video commentaries and of course, a season 3 of this. Very Happy

While I liked the dub a lot (better than the first time around, actually) I had one sticking point, the use of "goth chick" to refer to Chris, as opposed to "Ms. Fairy" or Fairy Lady." the change somewhat muddles the fact that Ayumu doesn't think she's real.

I'm tempted to check this out, now. Good that the fanservice sounds pretty balanced.

I loved this series. The dub was awesome sauce.
Very Happy

Some goth chicks actually do sport pink hair and ringlets. Not all of them go for the "mortuary girl" look (which might be considered a cliché or even stereotype these days).

I liked season 2 the downfall the conflict is never resolved, which really blows and I'm not sure they will do a season 3, if not, that is a lame way to end a series

There probably won't be a third season, because season 2 evidently didn't sell well.

Which is a shame, because Is This a Zombie is a refreshingly genuinely funny show.

The last few episodes of Season 1 and the fantastic dance number finale had me looking forward to season 2 with much anticipation.

Gutted is what I felt by the end of the 10th episode that I haven't even bothered trying to watch the OVA. I'm not surprised if season 2 didn't sell well in Japan as this was a travesty which seemed more liked a rushed cash in release then any serious attempt to build on all the good work of the first 12 episodes. I found it to be totally forgettable to the point that I really cannot remember anything but one or two moments from the whole season.

With the manga appearing to end at 8 if a season 3 is made it would be based on 2 books but at least it would close out the storie proper. That said its a fun show and I'm hoping for more.

I was tempted to get the series at one point, but with DVD-only release is a dealbreaker for me.
