Synopsis — from MyAnimeList

Extra episode included on BD/DVD vol. 6; effectively episode 13. Despite their decaying bodies, Rea’s zombie power comes in handy both at school and at home, and Babu gets interested in another cat—although this particular feline is one of the living.

Audience Consensus

This OVA episode is generally seen as a cute and enjoyable, albeit non-essential, addition to the Sankarea series. While many appreciate the unique narration and heartwarming moments, a notable portion of the audience finds the romantic development unconvincing and the plot progression minimal. It serves as a pleasant, if slight, continuation that leaves fans hoping for more.

Strengths

  • The narration by Baabu (the zombie cat) is a unique and enjoyable touch.
  • The episode provides a cute, wholesome, and feel-good continuation of the main series.
  • The ending is touching and adds impact, making viewers think about zombies differently.
  • The voice acting for Furuya is praised.
  • It offers a slightly new perspective that enhances the overall impact.

Weaknesses

  • The romantic chemistry between the main characters is perceived as lacking.
  • The plot feels like filler and doesn't significantly advance the story.
  • The implication of future seasons or further complications is not well-received by some.
  • The episode might feel strange to viewers who have forgotten the main plot points.
