Synopsis[]
“An idol animation with a new meaning, where legendary girls revived as zombies through space-time save the Saga Prefecture as idols.”
Gathered from several different eras, a group of legendary girls have become zombie idols to save Saga Prefecture. The return of this groundbreaking zombie idol anime!
One day, Sakura Minamoto loses her life in an unfortunate accident. Ten years later, Sakura awakens in a strange mansion, where producer Kotaro Tatsumi explains that she will join a group of legendary girls to form an idol group. The seven girls were given the mission to save Saga prefecture as Franchouchou, and after overcoming the difficulties generated by being of different ages and eras in history, their undead zombie bodies allowed them to challenge all the limits of what an idol can be. During the final winter of the Heisei era, they held their first concert at the Karatsu Arpino, taking another step towards becoming legends. Now, in the modern Reiwa era, the curtain rises on a new chapter in Franchouchou's history as they move toward a bright, hope-filled future.[3]
Season overview[]
In March 2019, Franchouchou failed to sell enough tickets for their concert in the Ekimae Fudosan Stadium and incurred a huge debt. Kotaro was depressed about the failure of the project every day, while the members worked hard to pay off their debts. However, Franchouchou decides to return to sing on stage. Kotaro is made to reconsider by Jofuku about his plan and appears at Franchouchou's concert and confronts the locals to let his idols sing.
Franchouchou, who resumed their activities on a large scale with the return of Kotaro, worked one after another in radio, television, and concerts, and by raising their name, each girl acquired a certain skill. The only problem was the huge debt, which was solved by the luck of Tae. A year after the failure, the girls from Franchouchou and Kotaro decide to take revenge again in the large stadium. Immediately after that, however, a local storm struck Saga, causing an unprecedented catastrophe. Franchouchou, who lost their home, moves to a shelter, where they spend their days performing live shows for refugees. A few days after the disaster, it happened that the makeup fell off, and the audience could see the real appearance of the girls, but Kotaro finally joined the girls who managed to hide their true identity from people. After receiving Kotaro's words, “We will definitely have a live revenge”, they begin to move towards the stadium again.
On March 8, 2020, a large number of spectators came to the Franchouchou concert, which was receiving a lot of attention globally due to the efforts of various people. The venue, which was completely empty a year ago, was packed with spectators, and Franchouchou managed to get revenge live. The concert ended with an excited crowd.
At a later date. Saga Prefecture was destroyed in an explosion by the light emitted by a mysterious flying object that suddenly appeared in the sky.

---|---|---|---|---|
Ep. # | Image | Title | Synopsis | Premiere Date |
1 | “Good Morning Returns SAGA/グッドモーニングリターンズ SAGA” | The living corpses continued to writhe within their fate. Even as despair enveloped the seven wishes that wore false masks. I saw her with her flesh pierced, and could only laugh fearlessly. When the light from the heavens shines on the living corpses once again, people will hear it. A scream that resonates in the madness. A scream of counterattack. | April 08, 2021 | |
2 | “The SAGA of an Almost-Broken Radio/ぶっ壊れかけのレディオ SAGA” | It was as if I, a zombie, had woken up, and they seemed relieved. They often criticize me, their faces red with blue, but this is not the time for me to be on fire. In order for Franchouchou to burn again, we need a big trigger. An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. And a legend for a legend. Receive this passion as hot as the flames breathed by a dragon. Even if the body perishes, the soul will not perish. | April 15, 2021 | |
3 | “Love and Youth Acoustic SAGA/愛と青春アコースティックSAGA” | With radio as a means, Franchouchou's name will spread even further. From here, they must gain more momentum and make up for the hole they opened with the failure of the Ekimae Stadium. Just as they were thinking that, shocking information came in. They are invading Saga. To fight back, they must drastically strengthen their forces. She holds the key, but… I never thought the enemy would think the same. | April 22, 2021 | |
4 | “Innocent Electric SAGA/純情エレクトリック SAGA” | Franchouchou cannot afford to lose on this new battlefield that has been born in Saga. However, it seems the members are once again whining among themselves. If this continues, maggots will likely appear among them, so I'll think of a strategy. How should we fight against a gigantic enemy like Iron Frill? Let's go for a battle that will have an impact and shatter everything. That's what I certainly said. But why did it turn out like that? | April 29, 2021 | |
5 | “Little Parappo SAGA/リトルパラッポ SAGA” | After the Saga Arena War, the name “Franchouchou” has somewhat spread across the country. Those girls, whose bodies are rotting, have done well not to let their hearts rot. It's good to let them take the lead every once in a while. It's a good opportunity to learn about the light and dark sides of the world. It's fine if they're mischievous zombies. I hope they grow up to be strong. As idols. As artists. | May 06, 2021 | |
6 | “Walking Bet SAGA/リトルパラッポ SAGA” | Money is important in life. It's important to those dead people too. If I'm going to make up for my failure with Ekimae Stadium, I need to earn money more efficiently. This is the time to make them understand the importance of a producer once again. Life is not a gamble. You have to grab success through your own efforts… First, let's think about how we can sell this jar for a high price. | May 13, 2021 | |
7 | “Mai Mai Revolution SAGA/マイマイレボリューション SAGA” | Kotaro is not at fault. Absolutely not. In Saga, unexpected things happen suddenly. And then they gang up on me and start blaming me like they've just decapitated a demon. But I'm not a zombie, so they can't take my head. And I won't let Franchouchou end, either. The rain will fall, and the ground will harden. Once the ground is hard, we'll dig it up. A crisis is an opportunity. A zombie opportunity. | May 20, 2021 | |
8 | “The SAGA incident: Part one/佐賀事変 其ノ壱” | It's been six years since Saga disappeared. If things continued like this, it would disappear from people's hearts. It would truly die. We must revive it at all costs. We must take action. That's when I met that person. Someone who told me that my aspirations were wonderful. The fact that we lived in different worlds was a trivial matter. ―From the memorandum of “A Youth” in the “Saga Prefectural Museum of History” | May 27, 2021 | |
9 | “The SAGA incident: Part two/佐賀事変 其ノ弐” | The time has come. The time to take back Saga. I wonder what kind of face that person will give me when I accomplish this. I wondered these things, not knowing anything about the actual situation. This is a truth that must not be buried in darkness. I hope that these notes will reach the eyes of many comrades living in a new world. ―From the memorandum of “A Youth” in the “Saga Prefectural Museum of History” | June 03, 2021 | |
10 | “The SAGA Of How These Zombies Will Get Their Revenge/ゾンビたちはどう復讐するのか SAGA” | I knew this time would come someday. Half-baked lies and excuses wouldn't work. Zombies don't need the truth. All they need is an indomitable spirit. I certainly made a mistake a year ago. But I have no regrets about choosing them and bringing them back to life that day. | June 11, 2021 | |
11 | “All It Takes Is for You to Be There SAGA/たとえば君がいるだけで SAGA” | I wonder when was the last time I ran so hard I was out of breath. At that time, I looked as worn out as a zombie. If they keep trying to crush me, I'll fight back to the end. Tomorrow is a never-ending story for Saga. Franchouchou will show us that tomorrow. Now is the time to fight back. | June 17, 2021 | |
12 | “The Greatest SAGA in History/史上最大の SAGA” | Tatsumi Kotaro will never give up again. He will make sure that Franchouchou's “Ekimae Stadium Live” is a success. He will get those girls to stand on that stage once again. There's no need for tears. All that's needed is the flames of vengeance that will burn down even hell. This is the biggest revenge in Saga history. This is the prologue to the long battle that is the “Zombie Land Saga Project.” | June 24, 2021 | |
