Synopsis
Aikawa Ayumu was revived as a zombie by the cute necromancer Eucliwood Hellscythe. After the zany, madcap adventures in the first season of Is This a Zombie? ended, Ayumu thought his life might finally get back to normal, or as normal as it can be for a zombie. However, destiny has other plans for him. Some guys just can't catch a break. (Source: FUNimation)

AI Synopsis
AI · OriginalA zombie, a necromancer, and a vampire ninja collide in a hilariously apocalyptic romp.
When Ayumu Aikawa meets the eerily sweet necromancer Eucliwood, his corpse is reanimated into a walking dead with a penchant for perverse mishaps. Now a zombie with a broken heart, he juggles his new undead cravings, a cursed magical girl’s relentless affection, and the bafflingly powerful “Masō Shōjo” powers that erupt whenever he’s caught in a compromising situation. The first season’s chaotic blend of slapstick and supernatural mayhem leaves him yearning for a sliver of normalcy—if such a thing exists for a reanimated high schooler. Just as Ayumu begins to settle into his bizarre routine, fate drags him deeper into a world of occult conspiracies and over‑the‑top combat. A trio of eccentric allies—a vampire ninja, a pervy magical girl, and a hyper‑energetic otaku—join forces to battle rogue demons, rogue gods, and the ever‑looming threat of a world‑ending apocalypse. Each episode spirals between outrageous fanservice, rapid‑fire jokes, and surprisingly heartfelt moments, all while Ayumu’s undead condition forces him to confront his own humanity, or lack thereof. The series revels in its self‑aware absurdity, turning every trope on its head while never losing sight of the core question: can a zombie ever truly live?
