The upcoming TV anime #ZombieSearching, which is based on the popular original work by Katsuo, has finally got a release window. It is officially scheduled to start broadcasting every Saturday at 11:30 pm from this October. Fans can catch it on the "IMAnimation" slot across 24 TV Asahi network stations nationwide. Along with this big announcement, the production team has also shared a teaser visual, a teaser PV, and some very interesting information about the main cast and staff members working on this project.
If you look at the teaser visual, it shows Aki and her friends looking quite happy together on a rooftop. But if you see the background, there is a landscape that looks like a completely devastated Tokyo, which really sets the tone for the series. The teaser PV gives us a better look at Aki and her friends' journey through this post-apocalyptic world. It is definitely one of those shows where the #ZombieSearching guide will come in handy to understand all the lore.
