Episode 1 of I’m Looking for a Zombie was a lot more fun than I expected. 🧟♀️✨ I liked how Aki and the others look at the ruined world with curiosity instead of constant fear, because for them this is basically the only world they’ve ever known. That gives the whole zombie setting a surprisingly fresh feeling.
The search for Aki’s missing father gives the episode a proper emotional reason to move forward, but I also enjoyed the lighter moments between the group. They actually feel like childhood friends instead of characters who were just thrown together for the plot.
What worked best for me was the balance. One minute they’re excited to explore places they’ve only heard stories about, and the next minute the zombies remind them how dangerous the outside world really is. It’s cute, a little creepy, and already has some mystery behind the outbreak and Aki’s father. Definitely a promising first episode. 🧟♂️🌆
