Trivia / Is This A Zombie?

• Actor Allusion:
  • Seraphim's cat-ears experience. Amusingly enough, earlier in that same episode, Maelstrom pulls off the "Moe Moe~ KYUN!" stance while her classmates are trying to help her get Ayumu to reciprocate her love for him.
  • The Ninja Maid scene that serves as the season's climax, though, does play this straight, minus the "Moe Moe~~ KYUN!" bit.
  • The cat-ears return in Of The Dead Episode 7.
• Distanced from Current Events: The last three episodes were delayed a week due to the Sendai earthquake. Apparently, the broadcaster decided that showing an anime with "violent content" so soon after the 9.0 earthquake would offend sensitive people.
• Follow the Leader: To Princess Resurrection, indeed there are many similarities (male leads who're undead servants, female monsters join the household, group battling other monsters, chainsaw motif etc) but both series are original in their own right.
• Genius Bonus: Chopin's "Tristesse" plays in the bowling alley scene in Episode 3.
• No Export for You: While both the anime and manga adaptations are licensed in English, the original novels have yet to be made available outside of Japan.
• The Other Darrin:
  • The drama CD featured Takuma Terashima as Ayumu, Yukari Tamura as Eu, Kaoru Mizuhara as Haruna, Shizuka Itō as Sera and Mamiko Noto as Maelstrom. In the anime series, Ayumu was voiced by Junji Majima, Eu by Midori Tsukimiya, Haruna by Iori Nomizu, Sera by Yōko Hikasa and Maelstrom by Hisako Kanemoto.
  • In the English dub, the King of the Night is voiced by Eric Vale. For the second season, the role was recast with J. Michael Tatum.
• Star-Making Role: In the dub, Austin Tindle as Ayumu and Morgan Garrett as Sera.
• Two Voices, One Character: Holy Moly. Eucliwood Hellscythe goes through 22 different voice actresses throughout the show's two seasons.
