Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? has tropes never before seen in the 70+ years of mahou shoujo. The show itself parodies modern moe and mahou shoujo tropes extremely well while still being humorous. The animation is done very well, having some of the best censoring anime has ever seen. Which brings us to the fan service. The fan service is very well done and not at all over the top, featuring the underused form of fanservice of the over-sized shirt among others. In spite of how well it is done it is still not reliant on said fan service as its selling point. The show is handled very carefully; it is clear the staff is working hard even on details. The combini door sound, the constant variety shows on TV, the amount of people in public and their reactions to the characters, it's almost like a satire addressing how most anime forget to add the little things aside from the gratuitously overused school chime. The cast features a competent harem lead with a harem that doesn't sit around thinking about his cock all day. In fact the harem members play games with themselves and go out bowling. The show itself, while primarily being a comedy, still shows us an interesting plot with a refreshing premise.
In contrast Madoka tries hard to make the same old tropes look different with shaft style and grimdark for the sake of grimdark. The animation quality is absolutely awful; the entire show is off model. It is clear that the pacing and directing are handled by an amateur. One episode Homura is saving Sayaka from Kyoku and the next episode Kyoku is saving Sayaka from Homura. The character development between Homura and Madoka was atrocious. The writer is a one trick pony who couldn't write a decent scenario to save his sick mother's life. This twist has been done before many times, and done better.
Overall Madoka is a terrible show handled horribly. Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? is a well crafted anime handled extremely well.
Any questions?
Copypasta?
Can i get a quick rundown
>>154755802
Homura>>>>>>>all Korean Zombie girls combined
>>154755802
TL;DR
If you think there's anything doing anything new, there is without a doubt there is some weird 1970's manga that already did it somehow.
Plus Madoka is just Kamen Rider Ryuki squashed to 1/4 the run time.
>>154755906
Can you honestly tell me what it's like having such abysmal taste? I can't imagine every hour of my waking life being attracted to complete and utter shit
>>154755802
>comparing two entirely different series
Dumb.
Anyone else remember the first Zombie threads? There was this one autistic guy who kept insisting Eu couldn't heal her zombie and shouldn't be allowed to wear plate armor.
>>154756109
You mean the plated armor discussions? It was a running gag for the whole fanbase.
Is this the bait Anon-kun always warns me about?
>>154756191
IIRC it was a running gag because of that one autistic guy. He was literally in every single Zombie thread for months.
What about Nanoha?
>>154756233
How you reached that conclusion is beyond me considering that topic was one of the best ways to start a fun topic and a lot of fans joined in. Dyson fan gags/puns were also similar, but on a much smaller scale.
>>154756319
The threads in the beginning were a lot more angry than fun. Before the series even came out people were bitching about how he didn't look like a traditional zombie and whether or not he could be called one
Mahou Shonen are best Mahou Shojo
>>154757090
Counterargument
>>154755802
>Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? has tropes never before seen in the 70+ years of mahou shoujo
66 was 70 years ago.
And eitherway, both are shit. The only good modern mahou shoujo is Cardcaptor and Doremi.
>>154755802
I completely agree.
>>154755802
I wish I could watch Korean Zombie s1 for the first time with /a/ again.
Haruna a shit
Korean Zombie's one of the best harem comedies ever made, but can it really be considered a mahou shoujo?
Thanks for your opinion.
>>154755802
Korean zombie desk car isn't a mahou shoujo though, it's specifically a masou shoujo
>>154757848
Get drunk and pretend it's 2011 and get halfway through the anime before you're too drunk to care and go on /a/ to wildly shitpost
Can someone post the Madoka graduation paper?
haruna
>>154756452
>The threads in the beginning were a lot more angry than fun
I don't remember any of that only people non stop posting pictures of that damn dyson fan.
>>154758290
a shit
>>154758290
I love her. She is adorable.
Korean Zombie was the anime that made me realize that DEEN was secretly great.
Best girl thread?
>>154758386
Agreed.
I want to watch this series again now but the Nyaa torrents are fucking dead and Bakabt sold out. What do?
>>154758544
AB?
>>154758445
Okay.
>>154758555
Fuck, I really need to get a membership with them at some point.
>>154758544
Just get a time machine
>>154755802
I know taste is subjective, but I did enjoy Zombie a lot, in the other hand, I tried to watch Madoka, and dropped that shit after the 3rd episode, I thought it was pretentious.
>>154758544
You could watch it on a streaming site as a last resort.
>>154755802
70+ years? It's only been about 50 years since Sally the Witch.
>>154758586
It's not too hard if you know someone who has an invite.
>>154758680
Yeah it was really nothing to lose your head over.
>>154758680
I don't see how you didn't watch it considering the number of threads back then, especially after episode 3
>>154758426
They can be when they try. Just like Shaft can be when it tries.
>>154756270
original -good
A's -Goddamn god
str -meh
vivjo -no
fuuka -yes!
>>154758721
Agreed, it was supposed to be completely new, and groundbreaking after the "dark" turning event, but instead I thought it was amusing.
>>154758734
Funny thing is that the reason I watched it, was because /a/ convinced me to, grave mistake.
>>154758780
Fuuka the cutest
>>154755802
Madoka is a poor man's Utena
>>154758749
The weird thing is that it was actually a really good looking anime too. Both it and Sankarea had great visuals (although Sankarea was ass).
>>154758445WINAMPon.
>>154756270
>>154758780
I've been getting back into Nanoha recently, is it worth reading any of the manga?
>>154755802
For fuck's sake, Madoka is MAHOU shoujo, not MASOU shoujo. They are different!
>>154759037
Yeah, go read Vivid then watch Vivid Strike.
>>154759037
Not really. There's some cool designs every once in a while but none of them have a story worth following.
>>154759089
I'll do that then, cheers, now I'm even more curious about the Vivid anime though.
>>154759097
That's good to know, I guess I won't put them on the backlog unless I desperately want more.
>>154755802
>claiming some haremshit is better than one of the all time greats
I am surprised this is not copy pasta.
>>154755802
>Comparing something as grand and great as Madoka Magica to some slightly above average harem comedy show
Seriously? Kore wa Zombie doesn't even have 1/50 of Madoka's popularity for good reasons.
Also this >>154755906
>>154759256
The Vivid anime never finished, there are rumors it's finally getting its second half but no one knows if that's actually happening. Vivid Strike is its own thing that takes place after Vivid.
>>154759270
>all time greats
>>154759288
Madoka is popular because it's a normalfag anime. It's garbage
>>154759386
>bashes madoka
>while posting evashit
>>154759671
Not him, but those madoka generals were full of pretentious speculation attributing what they thought were genius references to shinbo.
I like her missile shaped tits
>>154755802
Saved.
>>154759714
All generals are full of cancer. Is this your first week here?
>>154759762
No, and I was one of the driving /a/nons that got generals banned in 2011. But madoka generals were a new level of horrible pretentious bullshit.
>>154759671
>Hating eva
>Perhaps too deep 4u m8
Unironically liking shit for normalfags
>>154759828
Eva's even more mainstream.
>>154755802
first of all Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka? is a nice funny parody for the first arc.
That's when it gets dull and repetitive. Frankly anyone who could sit through all 2 seasons deserves a metal or a dominatrix as they're a world class masochist. This is the perfect example of a show with a fresh concept being dragged down by dull, trite, cast of characters, a plot full of retread ideas and stale writing.
The only thing KoreanZombie had going for it was an absurd and amusing concept, but it was so poorly executed that once the concept got stale the show became unwatchable (or story became unreadable, depending on which medium you are consuming).
Madoka Magica was a straight magical girl show (it was not a deconstruction) with a dark take on the genre. It was a refreshing show to watch but it was no masterpiece, and most of the fun of watching it was watching it on /a/, while we deciphered the runes, and analyzed the Faustian quotes left in graffiti on the walls of the witch dungeons. It was a fun watch, a strong show overall. While Madoka isn't the best magical girl anime out there (maybe top 5, I know I can think of 3 off the top of my head which were better, there probably are more) it is far superior to koreanzombie which isn't even a top flight comedy, or shounen, let alone magical girl show.
>>154759714
yeah then hate the fandom not the anime
most fandoms are shit thats just the way it is. doesnt make madoka any less great
>>154759555
DEEP wideface moe is anything but normalfag anime.
>>154759920
Madoka was a slasher series disguised as a magical girl series. The story and characters had very little actual substance to them, and the main plot hook for the majority of the story was waiting to see who was going to die next (see: Mami's entire handling as a character). Madoka herself not actually becoming a mahou shoujo until the very ending is particularly telling of this, as it keeps the protagonist powerless within the story. The Homura flashback episode told more story than the previous 10 episodes combined, and gave a glimpse of what the series would have been like as a proper dark mahou shoujo.
>>154755802
Can it really be specifically called a mahou shoujo parody? I'd say the series is more like Seitokai no Ichizon, but replacing eroge with otaku anime trops in general. The existence of the plot is mainly just incidental.
>>154758912
osu!
>>154761519
>>154760966
The main hook was trying to figure out what was actually going on. Given the stakes, Madoka couldn't become a mahou shoujo until she (and the audience) at least knew what the other characters did.
The flashback episode could've been longer, but from the previous 9, you were given enough info to fill in the blanks.
>>154755945
Apparently you do it everyday so please send us a report of your life.
>>154755802
This makes me legitimately upset.
Korean Zombie Deskcar was a good series and it's going to piss me off it ends up being turned into some kind of forced shitposting bait.
>>154756270
Season 1 is underrated as fuck. Shinbo Nanoha was a masterpiece.
>154756109
Oh shit i saved some
>>154756109
>>154762615
>>154755802
tl;dr
KoreZombie S1 is pretty bad. S2 was loads of fun.
>>154762642
>>154758544
W-what?
>>154762688
>>154762724
>>154762755
>>154755802
This image doesn't really make sense because Madoka is in the Top 5 of best anime of all time
>>154762789
>>154762615
Did you by chance save the Dyson fan edits as well?
>>154762819
Nope, sorry
>>154762718
False alarm. Elysium's 720p torrent is dead but the 1080 torrent is still good.
>>154762795
Not to mention Madoka is OUR Goddess. Literally.
>>154762847
This is the last one
>>154762847
Damn. What about plate armor pool one?
>>154755802
Who gives a fuck.

This is the last thing i have

Wait, what?
>>154759920
This. Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka? does its best to annoy the shit out of you while offering little reason to continue watching.
>>154763277
They don't host anything licensed by Funi.
>>154759671
Maybe if you actually watched the Rebuild movies you would understand EVA, EVA is merely sand castle deep, unlike proper ocean deep shows like Cereal Experiments Lain
Why is a mage wearing plate armour
>>154763369
Mages that wear heavy armor always fail casting spells. She is wearing it because she intentionally wants to fail those spells otherwise the world is fucked.
>>154763369
Thats not a mage. And shes purposefully trying to restrict her power.
>>154755802
Too bad all discussion on this series was killed by that one autist who hated Haruna.
>>154763309
This is just your bad taste
>not a kick
>grab my lower half
truly comedy masterpiece
>>154763369
>>154763369
She's actually a Cleric with the Death Domain you arcane shitlord.
>>154763794
Mhmm. I've never seen threads get killed so fast before because of one hater. The difference between S1 threads and S2 threads is just painfully staggering.
>>154764069
Teehee.
