Zombie-Loan Episode 10: The Corpse Release Spell

This episode has the best plot twist while also expanding the lore of the shinigami. Plus, we finally got a mascot. 10/10 design and personality. The conflict also manage to really bring out the horror theme, especially in Shito's lore. The antagonist are all over the place with their diverse personality and motivation, but strangely I enjoy the chaotic mess because it allows that much intensity to the narrative.

What an unexpectedly strange episode. That's saying something considering Zombi-Loan hasn't exactly been normal until now 😁 The supernatural side gets even more interesting, but the anime still manages to sneak humor into places where I wouldn't expect it. Michiru's reactions continue to make some of the weirdest situations much more entertaining. There's also enough tension here that I couldn't fully relax while watching.

WHAT AN ADORABLE LITTLE THING! I want one too. For a moment I was worried, wondering how on earth they were going to find Shito if they were just riding around on a motorbike for no reason, but it turns out they went to get information from an expert. Of course, Michiru has the Shinigami eyes! In several episodes, that ability hadn't been necessary, so I'd completely forgotten she had it, and that (now we know) it allows her to do other things. Honestly, I don't understand Toho's role. He gets in the way at one point, but he's an ally, yet he knew where Shito was and didn't go to rescue him... It's so strange. The plot is moving forward, and there seem to be a lot of loose ends and inconsistencies. The deal the doctor made is also unclear. Let's hope things become clearer in the next episode.
