The fact that these zombie fish have mechanical legs that allow them to walk on land makes this anime even stranger to the Zombie fish.

Soul Eater

Soul Eater does not exclusively focus on zombies, there are zombies prevalent throughout the entire series. The Death Weapon Mister Academy is the setting of the anime, which is based on the well-known manga of the same name.

After the first Hellsing anime was completed, the OVA Hellsing Ultimate was made. However, compared to the original anime, this Hellsing adaptation closely follows the manga. Once more, zombies are not the only subject of this series, but they do play a role in the world of supernatural horror.

It focuses on the covert Hellsing Operation, which works to reduce the number of occult creatures terrorizing England. The protagonist of the narrative is the iconic figure, Abraham Van Hellsing. It wouldn’t take you very long to catch up on the show as there are only ten episodes.

Is This A Zombie?

Is This A Zombie?

Our anime series stands out from some of the others on this list because it is a comedy in addition to being about zombies. The protagonist of the program is Ayumu, who was brutally killed by a serial killer. He is later killed once more, but not before being revived by a cute magical girl necromancer.

But the girl’s abilities enable him to return as a zombie. He and the girl need to exercise caution because another demon is also chasing Ayumu.

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, a game that takes place during the Industrial Revolution, is sometimes compared to the steampunk Attack on Titan, except that the adversaries are tough, Zombie monsters known as Kabane rather than unidentified huge beasts.

Because the inhabitants of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress are protected from the Kabane by fortress-like stations and large walls, the two displays can be compared. One day, a steam locomotive that the Kabane have taken control of ploughs into a station. Ikoma, a youthful engineer, defies this bad luck and succeeds in developing a weapon that can kill the Kabane, starting his heroic voyage.

Gungrave

Gungrave

Gungrave is a somber anime program that focuses on the main character’s quest for vengeance. It is based on a well-known third-person shooting game. The main character in the movie Beyond The Grave, was once a person named Brandon Heat.

Who, after being betrayed and killed by his best friend and mafia syndicate partner, was resurrected as a nearly unstoppable zombie-like creature. He now lives to kill other Zombie on the side and exact revenge on his best buddy for betraying him as well as the syndicate he formerly belonged to.

High school of the Dead

High school of the Dead

The finest zombie anime to date is probably High school of the Dead. This is largely due to the movie’s serious premise, thrilling turn of events, and closeness to current Western zombie TV series and movies.

The story follows five high school students plus two additional characters as they band together to flee their zombie-infested high school, as the title suggests. Even while the fan service in the show can occasionally be over the top, the blood and carnage more than makeup for it.

Tokyo Ghoul

Tokyo Ghoul

Tokyo Ghoul is a must-watch if you don’t have a rigid definition of what a zombie is. It recounts the adventures of Ken Kaneki, an unassuming, 18-year-old college student. After a near-fatal accident from which he is recovered by obtaining an organ transplant from a ghoul, his life is flipped upside down.

He becomes a human-ghoul hybrid after the transplant who now needs to consume humans in order to survive. Ken needs to seek out a way to maintain his humanity while keeping his new status as a ghoul a secret. Ghouls attempt to live normal lives in society, in contrast to your typical flesh-eating zombies, which makes the audience feel sorry for them and occasionally side with them.

Seoul Station

Seoul Station

you will undoubtedly enjoy Seoul Station, the animated prequel to that film. It has a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes as of this writing. The story revolves around a young woman’s survivalist journey after zombies take over Seoul’s downtown. Because there are just three people, the plot is rather simple and easy to follow. While there isn’t much that makes it stand out from the other zombie shows and films we’ve seen so far, the twist can be genuinely mind-blowing.

Final Thoughts

Zombies have begun to infiltrate Japan’s animation industry as a result of the zombie genre and subculture’s success in the West and around the globe. The number of zombie anime episodes and films is still less than that of zombie live-action ones. Hope you will enjoy watching Zombie Anime from our list.
