This would have simply been a limitation of having less than half the manga produced at the time of adaptation, and was clearly set to be continued in an eventual second season. The second plot path is in relation to Rea’s father, who after discovering she was revived as a zombie (having witnesses her death himself), still seeks to capture her. Although the episodes do see Chihiro being overly protective of Rea and doing research into a means of preventing or further stalling her demise, there was no real solution found. The first involves Chihiro working to prevent the eventual decomposition of Rea’s body, given that the potion and consumption of hydrangea leaves (The potion’s key ingredient) only stalls the process so much. However, after her untimely demise through falling off a cliff, she herself is resurrected as a zombie.įrom this point, the storyline goes down two different paths, with each given somewhat equal weighting. After managing to successfully produce the potion and unknowingly resurrecting Babu, Rea attempts to drink the same potion with no effect. Around the same time, he comes across a similarly aged girl named Rea Sanka, the daughter of an overbearing father who has become infatuated with her. Following the death of hit adored pet cat Babu in a freak accident, he begins researching how to revive it as a zombie, using a worn-out manuscript depicting the means of producing a resurrection potion. Sankarea: Undying Love follows Chihiro Furuya, a young high school student who has a particular fetish for zombies. Rather than focusing on staple plot devices, Sankarea: Undying Love sets out to deliver something a bit more distinct by amalgamating the zombie and romance genres – resulting in a 13-episode “Zombie Girlfriend” series. Based on the first few chapters of Mitsuru Hattori’s now completed shounen manga Sankarea (さんかれあ), the overall experience delivered is clearly incomplete, but has a number of unique concepts and events which still make it a worthwhile watch. When you usually think of an anime or television show surrounding zombies, you would usually expect it to be some form of survival flick, where a group of characters find themselves outnumbered and work to prevent one another from “turning”.
