When a human is marked to die, a faint gray line that is invisible to most appears around their neck. As time passes, that ring becomes darker and darker, until it is eventually black, and that person dies.Kita Michiru is a girl that possesses the unusual power shinigami eyes(it allows the user to see these lines)When she notices that two of her classmates Akatsuki Chika and Tachibana Shito not only have rings, but that they're jet black, they reveal to her that they are infact zombies who where supposed to die in an accident, but where saved by zombie loan office ofcourse there was a catch they had to repay there debt by hunting zombies.Upon finding out about kita`s powers they enlist her to join them to make there job of hunting zombie easier.

What drew me to this anime was the fact that it was a zombie anime I mean you dont see an anime with zombies too often usualy its just demons and vampires.the zombies arnt the typical zombies you see in movies they are quite intelligent and capable and arnt rotting corpses which puts some originality to this anime.

Well, lets start with the characters Kita Michiru is a girl who has the gift of shinigami eyes, but starts to hate it when she sees black rings on her parents when they die using glasses to negate the effect of the shinigami eyes. she has no goals or any aspirations and does not even care if she dies.Kita usualy has a hard time speaking her mind and always does what people tell her to do no question, which leads to chika to nickname her a "gopher".Chika and Shito are the zombies who work to repay there debt to zombie loan office(some sort of office that leases life instead of money)which saved them from a tragic accident that happened prior to the series.Chika is lively and out-going, but can has a short temper he wields a katana that he uses to guide souls to heaven. Shito is the more calm and strategic one while chika is brash and impulsive although Shito can be cold at quite times. Along the way we meet somemore wacky and weird characters in this 11 episode anime although most of them are quite forgettable. The art in this anime is excellent and stylish while the animation is pretty bad and dont even get me started on the opening theme, which is the worst opening theme I have heard, of course the horrible vocals dont help.One of the bad things about this anime is that its way too short, I red somewhere that the manga had 9 volumes, they could have made at least 26 episodes from that.
I GIVE THIS ANIME A 7/10 its pretty good, but i wish it was longer.
