Kita Michiru is a timid girl who has the gift of the “Eyes of a Shinigami”. Michiru has the ability to see the lifespan of a person which is marked by rings on their necks. However, she hates her gift after watching her parents death and subdued her abilities by wearing glasses. All this changes when Michiru accidentally sees the rings of two boys Akatsuki Chika and Tachibana Shito. Much to her surprise, these boys should already be dead – but they’re not! It turns out that Chika and Shito actually work for the mysterious Zombie-Loan and their job is to kill all the evil and illegitimate zombies to pay back the debt they owe. After learning of Michiru’s powers, the boys ask her to lend them her gift in their job to hunt down zombies. Michiru is reluctant but finds herself getting involved in it anyways! What will life have in store for the trio?

Zombie-Loan is my first “zombie” anime. Its nice to have a change of theme once in a while! Zombie-Loan has good animation and a decent plot going for it. The action is good but not smashing. Now whats really good here is the humour – the constant bickering between Chika and Shito, Michiru’s ability to get into trouble no matter what and a very scary Shinigami thrown into the whole mix. The story isn’t really outstanding to say the and neither is there anything terrible special about the characters themselves.In short, this is a supernatural anime mixed with the humour of unlikely partners having to work together for money! I’d say that this is a decent watch with an ok story and humour to keep the anime interesting.
