At first glance when the trailer dropped for Undead Unluck, I had initially written it off. It seemed unique though, and that stuck with me. 4 weeks into its airing, I saw good reception, so I gave it a shot. I can now say It was worthy of watching after having just completed the first season. First and foremost, it's a 24-episode season, no pauses. God bless David Production for directing this properly. The first season has proper story building and leaves the viewer with anticipation to the continuation of this story. The series has proper time to develop both story and characters and has an intriguing premise and development of negators on both sides of the conflict. This is how you do anime properly.

Animation 9/10
- The animation isn't the best of the best, but it does a lot right, both in action scenes and stationary scenes. Overall, it is done really well.
Sound 9/10
- Good OP/EDs with great sound design throughout, and good VA work.
Story 8/10
- Not the most complex of a story, but it does story telling right. The story deepens and gets better, eventually ending the season with an anticipatory conflict of factions, that I look forward to in the future.
Characters 9/10
- Unique characters throughout, heartwarming background stories, that drive emotion. One fodder character early in the season is a good example of how great the character development is. When a write off character can make you emotional, it is proof the writer gets character development. I really like Andy and Fuukos' budding relationship. It may seem aggressive at first, but it slowly molds into something genuine.
Enjoyment 10/10
- Had I waited to binge this in one shot, I would have. I did it in 4 mini binges because I knew I couldn't just watch this week to week.

Even as I write the review, I am contemplating this and that, and I realized writing, that this series was a lot better than I thought. I can't wait to see s2. I recommend this to anime fans in general. I feel this is kind of a hidden gem.
