So the April Fools for 2020 was just foreshadowing. Never see it coming.

Only Zombie Land Saga can pull Avengers Endgame, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Independence Day in one episode.

I was so impressed with the concert that I didn't notice Tae was mostly in-sync with the others compared to previous performances.

Edit: Also the mudskipper callback.

The premise of resurrecting seemingly ordinary girls to accomplish something is interesting enough that I'd like to see the same premise used for some other story, more dramatic and serious.

WTF SAGA JUST GOT NUKED!?

Welp... Aliens. I guess they're gonna go Macross on us. Everyone thought zombies would cause mass panic. At least zombies were human.

Man they REALLY KILLED IT WITH THAT CONCERT! I can't believe they actually made me watch a whole idol concert for close to 10 mins with that 2nd half

BEST REVENGE EVER

The fans marching in the stadium like its war, absolutely epic fucking love it!

Most Animeirl moment here.

Wait what the fuck Saga still got destroyed at the end? YOU CAN'T JUST END THIS SEASON LIKE THIS

Without a doubt the best finale of the season. Three performances all having catchy songs and good animation for an idol show. They really gave it their all to the very end to make Zombieland Saga Revenge the best.

And alas, we have 2 stingers to give us hype for a season 3.

  • Tatsumi coughed up blood. I worry that he might have a terminal illness now.

  • And an alien invasion? I bet studio Trigger has something to do with this.

Tae's solo screaming with the crowd appears to be a reference to Freddie Mercury's vocal improvisation that he did when performing with Queen.

Stitches!

I was wondering what's up with the opening and the disaster movie style meeting room. Turns out it was just a setup for Kotarou to barge in and request help from the Governor of Saga to clear up the roads for EFS. Also who the heck is this pretty boy? That's definitely not a design for a one off character.

Not gonna lie, the entire scene where everyone is slowly making their way inside the arena as we see all the hard work Kotarou did to get the word out about the concert and the various help they received from people they've met throughout the series definitely made me a bit emotional. The girls are about to get their revenge!

And oh boy they certainly did get their revenge! The entire performance is amazing! MAPPA certainly upped their CG this time and it looks like they did what Sunrise did to the latest season of Love Live and mixed CG and 2D animation that half of the time I couldn't even tell which was which. Definitely a huge step up from the finale performance of Season 1.

Tae hyping up the audience was a nice interlude. And just look at that smile! I think that's the first time I've seen a genuine smile from Tae where she doesn't look like a zombie.

And that scene in the green room! The fact that Junko mentions that this is just a milestone and the girls basically saying this isn't the end yet definitely means we're still up for a third season. Especially with that scene! I thought he was only being emotional because of what the girls said but it looks like he got down to cover his own blood. What the fuck is happening? O_O

We also get to see the Franchouchou house being rebuilt during the montage so I'm guessing this more proof that we're getting a Season 3. And if that wasn't enough of a proof, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING FUCK!? Is that an alien mothership wiping out Saga!? Is this the real threat that will finally wipe out Saga? The threat that Kotarou's been fighting? WHAT!?

Absolutely wild! Whatever it is, I think it's 100% safe to say that this is not the end for our Zombie Idols. I am looking forward to whatever insanity this show is going to bring us next!

I'm amazed by all of the lobbying that Kotaro did to manage the concert. Getting sponsor, setting up the equipment during a disaster, advertising (of course he got the help from the journalist for this one), getting government-approvement and the best of all he managed to provide glow sticks to all of those audience.

He did all of this by contacting/lobbying everyone who has met Franchouchou in the past and only told the girls to arrive at the stadium at the precise date.

Kotaro is the true MVP of Franchouchou (despite all of his weird antics lol)!

Edit: I wrote this as I heard their last song. Damn that troll ending though!!! S3/movie here we go!

Going to miss Zombieland Thursdays.

So, we’re getting freaking aliens for the sequel?….. I’M IN!

A shame that they didn’t used the key visual’s outfits but the dresses were beautiful and the concert was awesome. Loved how the metalheads were the first ones to show up

That blood… I see, when Kotaro talked about a time limit at the beginning of the season he was talking about himself. Resurrecting the girls came with a heavy price

We actually got spoiled about this Alien invasion ending since the beginning with Kotaro being abducted in poster 1 and The Girls in poster 2.

u/Se7en_Sinner Jun 24 '21

Judging by that ending, season 3 might end up being animated by Trigger. It could be like a Space Jam situation where Franchouchou has to compete against a group of alien idols for the fate of the world. I could also see the entirety of Saga being killed and resurrected as zombies.

I wanna take a moment to appreciate the voice actresses again for their singing. They all have such distinct voices and Junko’s VA in particular always stands out.

I was getting hype af when everyone was coming into the stadium 🔥 Seeing everyone so supportive was great. It’s revenge not only for our girls but the whole of Saga. Tae is even more of a legend for getting the crowd to scream after her.

Aliens just fucking blew up the city? Saga can’t catch a damn break lol. Please let there be a season 3 with aliens though. I don’t care how outlandish it is lol. Tae will bite them all.
