With a promotional video distributed by Shochiku for the official site, Calamity of the Zombie Girl is now on track for a summer 2018 debut with a July 4th, 2018 date already assigned to it – which has us envisioning quite the rollout at Anime Expo this year. The project has rolled out the first key visual as well as the trailer for it with an English subtitled version to dig into.
The show is being directed by Hideaki Iwami with scripts by Kenichi Kanemaki. Junichi Takaoka is handling the character designs and is serving as the chief animation director with GONZO and Stingray producing the animation.
The Japanese cast includes:
- Saori Hayami as Euphrosyne Studion
- Yui Ogura as Alma V
- Tomokazu Sugita as Syuichiro Takanashi
- Ryoko Shiraishi as Mako Takanashi
- Miyuki Sawashiro as Sayaka Kamoshida
- Tatsuhisa Suzuki as Masahiro Abe
- M.A.O as Yui Minagawa
- Yurika Kubo Noriko Sudo
- Takahiro Miwa as Hiroshi Azuma
- Mugihito as Miyake
The show is based on the light novel series Aru Zombie Shojo no Sainan by Ryo Ikehata. It began in 2012 (with an anime adaptation originally announced back then as well).

Plot Concept: The show focuses on a beautiful girl named Euphrosyne who is regretfully a zombie. Euphrosyne wakes up in an underground archive of a university, where a maid named Alma tells her, “Madam, kill the students and retrieve the ‘Secret Stone.'”
