I think the zombie theme has always been one of the hot topics for viewers who like exciting and fast-paced works. Although many related film and television works have sprung up in recent years, animation works are rare. Today Let’s take a look at some classic zombie-related animations~
1. "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress"
"The Iron Fortress" was launched in 2016. It was a hit when it was first released. Tetsuro Araki, who has directed excellent works such as "Death Note", "Guilty Crown", and "Attack on Titan", and Hiroyuki Sawano, known as the "God of Sensual Music", once again reunited The powerful forces joined forces and took the top spots in major editions in the first episode of the animation. Although the plot of the later animation did not pay much for the audience, as a zombie-themed animation with smooth movements, exquisite pictures, magnificent music, and a rare zombie theme, the animation status of "Iron Castle" is largely guaranteed.
2. "School Apocalypse"
The 2010 animated "School Apocalypse" can be said to be the most classic work in zombie animation. Its animation company Madhouse He is also one of the big names who has created many excellent works ("Card Captor Sakura", "Game Life", "Parasite", etc.), so he is very attractive in terms of actual painting and plot flow. It is a pity that due to the death of the original script writer Daisuke Sato, the original manga has been suspended for several years, and the second season of the animation has disappeared. This has become a big regret in the hearts of fans who like this work.
3. "Gakuen Island"
I believe that many friends who like anime have some impressions of "Gakuen Island" that was broadcast in the summer of 2015. At that time, due to the novelty of the subject matter The strong contrast between the zombies and the light lily girl caused a very strong audience response. The Japanese mall once put many related daily necessities on the shelves, and most of the fans talked about it related to the setting and plot direction.
As a work published by Fangwensha, a comic publishing company that "pursues girls' innocent dreams", "School Island" does a good job of handling the fear of being surrounded by zombies and the girl's struggle, creating a It has a very cruel but addictive viewing effect, and the psychological description and foreshadowing of the characters are more detailed than ordinary zombie works. It is a rare excellent zombie-themed animation work.
4. "Ghoul"
Although in terms of setting, "Ghoul" also mutates into a murderer with the urge to suck blood, and also changes after being bitten. It is possible to become the same kind, but the overall direction of the plot is not about how to survive in an environment surrounded by monsters like other zombie-themed works, but more like a confrontation between two species, humans and zombies.
The author of "Ghoul" set the story in a village with a population of about 1,300, where an unknown creature completely changed people's peaceful lives. The story of "Ghoul" is a little less scary than ordinary zombie-themed works, but it has many more details that are very scary to think about. Moreover, the description of the entire story in the original novel is very detailed and complete, making the image of "Ghoul" very three-dimensional and vivid. It is an excellent work that is worth reading and thinking deeply about.
