The only word that seems to accurately describe what Undead Unluck is, is FUN. And if what the signs are indicating at, is observed carefully, not mindless fun either. Quite honestly, it was nigh impossible to take the eyes off screen for even a split second during the first episode. And it should be enough to suggest how good of an opening it was, as it keeps building upon that, one episode at a time.
Plot: The title is the plot, and you know it is. If still you're not convinced, read the synopsis, which more or less describes the first episode adequately. Though, it

At first glance when the trailer dropped for Undead Unluck, I had initially written it off. It seemed unique though, and that stuck with me. 4 weeks into its airing, I saw good reception, so I gave it a shot. I can now say It was worthy of watching after having just completed the first season. First and foremost, it's a 24-episode season, no pauses. God bless David Production for directing this properly. The first season has proper story building and leaves the viewer with anticipation to the continuation of this story. The series has proper time to develop

Step away,whiny otaku males , this shounen is for the girlies.
I usually dont write reviews to anime,despite being on this site since 09. But I feel like this anime deserves more positive reviews and many of the *cough* male *cough* reviewers just didnt get it. this anime is a BLAST. from the first episode to the last one,you WILL have fun. Its lewd,it's crass,it's morbid - but its done in such a charming way , nothing comes out distateful. it's also quite romantic , but not in a super annoying shoujo manner , which makes it even better. I would consider this anime a feel good anime [for adults,ofc] ... Feb 16, 2024
I knew about this manga long before it became an anime, and wasn't expecting much from it because of one of the main images used to promote it: https://i0.wp.com/sequentialplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/download.png?resize=749%2C556&ssl=1 (main character groping the main girl under her clothes). Still kept my mind open since we can't judge a manga too hard based on just one image with no context.
The anime came out and I barely recognized it because they're using a diferent art (as you can see on MAL), and since it's doing so well in popularity I gave it a shot. As you can see from my score, that image is as bad as ... Oct 20, 2023
What in the hell did I just watch?!
Is what one may be thinking the first time you start this show, as it's a wild ride from start to finish, and doesn't leave any time to breath with it's comedic timing, and just pure random nature, topped with an actual interesting and well developed storyline, that'll keep any kind of viewer engaged Story and characters: 9 A strong line up of characters will take a show far. Strong in the sense of not just who they are, and what they stand for, No matter what the plot is, a show can be carried so hard but a good ... Mar 23, 2024
Undead Unluck is a great battle shounen but it suffers from a beginning that displeased part of the public but mainly because it was distributed by Hulu.
In this story we follow Izumo Fuuko, a young woman who, upon meeting Andy, discovers the existence of people who can deny a rule in the world, she is Unlucky as she denies the luck of those she touches and Andy is the Undead as he cannot die in any way. With this information, both go on a journey to free themselves from their powers and end up encountering many challenges and hidden truths of this world. Starting with a ... Dec 9, 2023
Undead Unluck is a thrilling and heartwarming anime that combines action, comedy, and romance uniquely. It is based on the original manga by Yoshifumi Tozuka, which I have read up to the latest chapter.
A word of caution for viewers: if you can handle the fairly intense sexual depictions in the early stages, then you'll be fine for the rest. Honestly, I think Undead Unluck surpasses Hunter x Hunter (2011) and Dragon Ball. This work is a typical ability battle manga, but at the same time, it has a perfect romance depiction. It shows clearly how a woman falls in love with a man through ... Mar 23, 2024
The start is strong with solid visual elements laying the foundation of the dark, yet comedic tone of this story-driven series. There are more than a few instances throughout the season where some animation and story-telling choices were questionable. However, it doesn’t take away from the overall experience, and can even add to the enjoyment depending on your own perspective.
For those caught up on the manga, having that knowledge further enhances the viewing experience. The series itself is very interesting and worth talking about. With some fine-tuning of the story-boarding for any future seasons that get cleared, the anime can be included in the conversation ... Apr 26, 2024
It’s a pretty interesting story with a world of rules and negators who have powers (mostly unwillingly) to negate them. The plot by itself sounded fun but I don’t think he watched an anime earlier that brings together shounen and shojo elements so well.
Undead Unluck is fast paced and keeps you interested throughout. I love the concept, the characters and their development. It’s funny, romantic, action packed and has leads you actually feel for. Andy seems initially as a beefy guy with no feels, and Fuko the quintessential shounen FL - all boobs and no use. But interestingly, their characters unveil to be both ... Oct 20, 2023
The title is what caught my attention initially, I knew about this anime ever since they announced it and was vaguely looking forward to it because there's just something charming about the character designs for me.
The first episode was so good that it actually made me want to read the manga (which is rare for me personally, This alone is an achievement) but I still put it off thinking maybe I should wait. But behold as the second episode was over it instantly caught me in a frenzy and I just had to read the manga at that point and it did not disappoint even ... Dec 2, 2023
You wouldn't know it just from looking at its traditional shonen artstyle, but there's actually a lot going on under the surface of Undead Unluck. After watching the first few episodes, I was prepared to write it off as a "fun popcorn anime", but after sticking with it for just a little longer (as well as consuming some minor spoilers for later on), I can say with certainty that it's worth the watch, and that season 1 is only the tip of the iceberg for what's to come.
Undead Unluck probably has the most explosive and action-packed first few episodes I've seen all year. No ... Dec 10, 2023
Unserious. Untypical. Unexpected.
Unserious “Ehhh!? She hadn’t even finished her monologue yet!?” “Fun” seems to be the most common word people are using for this anime, but perhaps it is that this anime doesn’t take itself too seriously. Whether it be Andy’s eternally-cheesy superhero grin, the over-the-top reality/world settings, or the rapidly evolving storyline – it doesn’t want to be taken too seriously. But that doesn’t mean it is unserious about everything it does. Untypical Perhaps one of this anime’s most surprising qualities is how it offers so many typical aspects of its genre and yet intentionally undelivers them: it is always leading from one ecchi-esc moment to the ...

A charming anime about a group of individuals aiming to save the world in order to live normal lives. It mimics the same theme as in Mob Psycho, where those gifted with special powers don't really consider themselves "gifted" but rather "cursed" because they know they can't live normal lives.
The animation was alright but the premise itself is very interesting. The power system introduced in the series, Negation, is an interesting idea, and one that allows for near limitless powers to be introduced in the future. It also introduces the idea of Artifacts -- items with special powers that can be used -- which ... Oct 24, 2023
I haven't done any reviews but this is going to be the series for my first one, this series isn't supposed to be serious its supposed to be FUN.. Its nice to see a original of a anime that has vibrant colors, and top notch animation. You have a good balance of humor and horror, its a good stand out anime for Winter 2023. Alot of anime thats been coming out, hasn't been able to grasp onto my attention for long as some ascepts get dragged out in between too many episodes, or just cancelled all together. Nice to see something refreshing and new.

Episode 7, and I must say, this is a good one. By far the most shounen, shounen anime we got in the past years. There is a power system, the attacks have names, and everything, and the characters are extreme too. I see potential for some good romance too. The animation is great, and the fighting is engaging. I gave this a chance while eating launch, and I didn't have much expectations despise hearing good stuff about the manga, and... well, it took the length of 7 episodes for me to eat my lunch. Totally worth it. In the new generation, dominated by Shounen like

This anime was delightful!
With a fresh perspective on self-acceptance, regardless of a person's (negator's) abilities or disadvantages, each character rises above their unchangeable circumstances to maintain a fragile balance between 'god-like' power and complete destruction. Falling under several genres of action, comedy, gore, fantasy and romance, there is something here for everyone. The characters throughout the series are unique, and take their time to properly develop complex relationships. Great animation, well choreographed fight scenes, fun OST and a fast passed (rather messy) storyline, that keeps viewers on their toes. Not to mention, the back-and-forth between character's dialogue is hilarious, their quips and awkward personalities are ... May 28, 2024
Very solid and weird over the too anime with a messy story and very interesting and complex characters in a very ricj and interesting post apocalyptic world full of danger and scary powers that can take your life in an instant of weakness and it has a very dark vive to it, specially the main duo, they are weird and very interesting to be honest, they are kinda scary and weird to look but i just love them, this is not a gem of an anime its just an enjoyable piece of medía with something mediocre and something very good animation not gonna lie i

Undead Unluck had eye-catching setting about the world and character abilities; the idea of "deniers" was really refreshing. Although not every plot withstood scrutiny, it was at least interesting and innovative, in the sense that it challenged the viewers' "common sense" - the day-to-day concepts in our lives can be created, revised, and denied.
The storytelling followed a very typical shonen style. The main characters continuously level up in battles, learning to better cooperate and utilize their abilities, while also getting trustworthy teammates (with tragic backstories). Even the occasional sexual harassment jokes are so typical (in a bad way) - but fortunately, it gradually shifted away ... Jun 28, 2024
The power system is unique and interesting. The mcs are lovable, and complements each other extremely well. The storytelling is fascinating and it progressively gets better. Definitely deserves a 2nd season, otherwise the world is UNFAIR!
It is a rare gem to find when most anime are gradually getting quite generic. It may not get as much fan following but it surely made a place in many viewers hearts. The story is simple but presented very well. The art style is industry standard, but suits the vibe of the story well. The anime surveys the genre it claims perfectly. Fans of action, comedy, adventure, will ... Jul 26, 2024
Well, this is a damn masterpiece.
I've never seen a worldbuilding even close to be this unique and interesting. I don't even know where to start. The characters and their dynamics is literally everything. I usually dislike romantic subplot in shounen animes but this shit made me blush everytime our main couple interacted. Fuuko is adorable and Andy is a frickin' gentleman, periodt. I love the "polar opposites bring out the best in eachother" trope and it really works well in this setting. I especially love Andy's character because he sure has this "bad guy" vibe (which fits him perfectly) and still be a decent likable human ... |
