main cast
* Based on a light novel series written by Kimura Shin'ichi and illustrated by Kobuichi and Muririn.
Ayumu is still a zombie, chosen (much to his dismay) by Gaia to learn of the dark secrets in the world — that should never see the light of day. And so life, as it is, with short-tempered vampire ninja Seraphim, chainsaw-wielding prodigy masou shoujo Haruna, and mute necromancer Eu continues under one roof.
Late after school, to avoid getting sunburned, Ayumu encounters the alcohol-prone fairy Chris. This overly cute adult in a child's body is up to something... life at school could be so peaceful, if it were not for the enemies of the masou shoujo.

Note: The first two episodes received an early screening at a special event held at Kadokawa Cinema Shinjuku on 13.01.2012. Regular TV broadcast started on 05.04.2012.

Focuses less on plot and more on random comedy episodes than the first season, so if the latter was your jam there you go. Personally I really liked the characters, so some plot and/or char development would have been nice. So for me it was a step down from the more coherent first season, but still a fun watch if you have some time to waste.

I'm a bit disappointed with this season... It isn't as good as the first one. There's practically no fighting scene and mostly comedy. In my opinion, this season is only OK.

For fans of the first season. This has more humor less of a true story though. Not bad but could be better. Give it a go if you liked the first one!

If you enjoyed the 1st season, this is more of the same, however... more concentrated on comedy instead of fighting. Surprised this season doesn't have the usual 12 episodes instead of 10, but not a bad season.

In the early years, magical girls usually used magic to solve everyday problems and often transformed into idols; nowadays, however, the term is most often used to refer to with girls who fight evil using magical powers, and, although transformations are still common, they tend to be more along the lines of a change of costume., regenerationRegeneration is a supernatural ability to repair great extents of damage incurred as a result of, for example, combat or accidents, and generally to do so fairly quickly. This may include, for example, the replacement of destroyed limbs and organs in a matter of minutes or less.

It does not refer to characters that merely happen to be flat chested, but do not make any importance of this fact. The character may be extremely proud of the fact that she is flat chested, or extremely embarrassed of the fact., ribbon on accessoryA ribbon on accessory is any ribbon that is affixed to any kind of item, so long as that item is not directly affixed to the owner`s body, hair, or clothes.

This hair length is longer than what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length. Typical male hair at the back of the head which reaches the shoulders does not count as shoulder-length hair; the individual hair strands are very short (0-4 cm), and therefore count as short hair., small breastsSmall breasts (flat chested) are breasts that would be considered below the average size for real life medium breasts., thighhighsThighhighs or stockings are a close-fitting, variously elastic hosiery piece that fully cover and extend above the knees, or partly cover the knees, leaving only the thigh area exposed.

female, , blue eyesThis character has blue-colored eyes., drill hairAn easy way to tell if a female character in Japanese media is of high social standing is to not look for a crown or an Ermine Cape, but to look at the front of her head. Specifically, look for two long, curled locks of hair, framing the face. If she has them, she either is high class or acts like it.
Needless to say, this is pretty much mandatory for the Ojou. Some Elegant Gothic Lolitas also sport this hairstyle., kneehighsKnee highs are a hosiery piece that covers the feet and rise up to, but not including, the knee, or slightly thereunder; they leave the knee exposed.
