Ranked #1323Popularity #798Members 345,972 With the conclusion of her favorite romance manga, Fuuko Izumo is ready to end her life of misery and loneliness having long accepted her fate of never being able to experience passionate love like fictional characters. Cursed with "unluck," anyone Fuuko touches is in grave danger of experiencing unimaginable calamity.
While the possibility of imminent danger would have most sane people run in the opposite direction, Undead has other ideas. He is an immortal being with superhuman regenerative powers desperately seeking death, which has always eluded him. When their paths finally cross, Undead sees an opportunity to finally end his suffering by using Fuuko's unluck.
But before Undead can unlock the full potential of Fuuko's power to trigger the final devastating blow, the duo must first fend off a murderous secret organization hell-bent on exterminating those with special abilities.
[Written by MAL Rewrite] Undead Unluck was released on Blu-ray and DVD in two volumes from March 27, 2024, to June 26, 2024. | |

At first glance when the trailer dropped for Undead Unluck, I had initially written it off. It seemed unique though, and that stuck with me. 4 weeks into its airing, I saw good reception, so I gave it a shot. I can now say It was worthy of watching after having just completed the first season. First and foremost, it's a 24-episode season, no pauses. God bless David Production for directing this properly. The first season has proper story building and leaves the viewer with anticipation to the continuation of this story. The series has proper time to develop
...
both story and characters and has an intriguing premise and development of negators on both sides of the conflict. This is how you do anime properly.
Animation 9/10
- The animation isn't the best of the best, but it does a lot right, both in action scenes and stationary scenes. Overall, it is done really well.
Sound 9/10
- Good OP/EDs with great sound design throughout, and good VA work.
Story 8/10
- Not the most complex of a story, but it does story telling right. The story deepens and gets better, eventually ending the season with an anticipatory conflict of factions, that I look forward to in the future.
Characters 9/10
- Unique characters throughout, heartwarming background stories, that drive emotion. One fodder character early in the season is a good example of how great the character development is. When a write off character can make you emotional, it is proof the writer gets character development. I really like Andy and Fuukos' budding relationship. It may seem aggressive at first, but it slowly molds into something genuine.
Enjoyment 10/10
- Had I waited to binge this in one shot, I would have. I did it in 4 mini binges because I knew I couldn't just watch this week to week.
Even as I write the review, I am contemplating this and that, and I realized writing, that this series was a lot better than I thought. I can't wait to see s2. I recommend this to anime fans in general. I feel this is kind of a hidden gem.

The start is strong with solid visual elements laying the foundation of the dark, yet comedic tone of this story-driven series. There are more than a few instances throughout the season where some animation and story-telling choices were questionable. However, it doesnโt take away from the overall experience, and can even add to the enjoyment depending on your own perspective.
For those caught up on the manga, having that knowledge further enhances the viewing experience. The series itself is very interesting and worth talking about. With some fine-tuning of the story-boarding for any future seasons that get cleared, the anime can be included in the conversation
...
more in the future.

A few years ago, David production were working on a new shounen title called Fire force. Long story short, it was a decent watch dragged down to mediocrity by one major flaw, the fanservice. The show couldn't resist shoving tits and ass right in your face every few minutes, even in the most inopportune of times, like the middle of a fight. It honestly amazes me just how much damage this decision managed to do. It's a damn shame, since the rest of Fire force was solid, but this single decision managed to change my rating from very good to above average. So how is
...
any of this relevant? Well, imagine Fire force with mediocre fights, completely fucked pacing, constant changes in tone resulting in massive whiplash and plot contrivances through the roof. That show is called Undead unluck. I get that they were stuck adapting subpar material, but there really isn't an excuse for repeating the mistakes of the past. That being said, there are some good things that I should mention. I like the way Andy fights. Even with a very generic superpower, he manages to use it in a very original, although sometimes very nonsensical, way. The art is also decent. There are some very good scenes, but it's really inconsistent, so there are quite a few stinkers as well. They stopped using the meme 'bruh' sound effects in fights, so at least something has been learned from Fire force. Yeah, as you can see, I am running low on praise here. The silver lining is simply way too thin to rescue the show this time. I know that this is a very short review but there honestly isn't much to be said. Even if we were to ignore the aforementioned problems, the core of Undead unluck is a dime a dozen shonen slop that you have seen a thousand times already. In ten or twenty years, shows like this will probably be mass produced by AI and I doubt anyone will be able to tell the difference.
