Zombies are one of the most common and oft-used tropes in all media. They’re just so easy to use as a backdrop to tackling other issues, making a comedy, or a proper survival horror video game. Over the past two decades, the zombie genre has found its place in anime as well. While not all zombie anime follow the typical archetypical model of what a zombie is, the essence of these undead creatures is notably common in anime these days.
