So, Zombie Loan. This was a pretty short one-season anime with only 11 episodes + 2 specials. The characters were pretty cool and the animation was nicely done. I have always regretted the fact that it was just way to short. The story was really interesting and innovative. Since then I have watched quite a few anime series, but never came across of anything similar. The thing I remember the most is the humor. All in all it was a well rounded anime with good characters, interesting story and well balanced humor.
Michiru Kita is a special girl who possesses Shinigami Eyes, a power which allows her to see a person's nearness to their destined death by seeing a ring, invisible to normal people, around the person's neck. When a person is marked to die, a gray ring appears, which darkens over time. Once the ring turns completely black, the person dies. Chika Akatsuki and Shito Tachibana, two boys in her class, both have black rings around their necks, but to her surprise, they are not yet dead. It is revealed that after a tragic accident that was supposed to kill them both, the two boys made a deal with a secret loan office called the Zombie-Loan. In return for keeping them alive, the two have to hunt zombies for the loan office. When Michiru gets involved with them, she finds that her life has just become more complicated. After hunting Zombies in an episodic fashion, Chika and Shito defect from Zombie Loan and head to China in an attempt to save Shito's mother from the Xu-Fu. However, the Xu-Fu captures Shito and attempts to use his body as a vessel for Lao Ye, the leader of the Xu-Fu. Lao Ye is eventually defeated and Chika and Shito return to Zombie Loan.
