Before becoming a zombie, Sakura was an ordinary girl with nothing special going on in her life. She is shown to be an energetic girl and becomes very passionate whenever she is singing as an idol. 

~!When she regains her memories of her life but loses her memories of her Zombification, Sakura becomes very defeatist and detached due to the failures she kept facing in life no matter how hard she tried. After she regained all of her memories with the encouragement of her friends she regains her confidence and her love of performing.!~

A typical morning. The usual music. Their normal lives. The peace these seven girls experience will suddenly be destroyed. By the living dead... zombies. A reality that they never wanted a part of, an amazing and terrifying zombie world. They all share one wish: "We want to live." These girls will struggle through this saga, in order to achieve a miracle. MAPPA, Avex Pictures, and Cygames team up to bring you a juicy, 100% original anime. A timeless shocker for all audiences, a brand new style of zombie anime, will soon rise.

Can zombie idols save Saga—and the world!? 

In the year 2025, Earth is abuzz with excitement over the Saga Expo. Franchouchou is appointed as the event’s ambassador and begins preparing for the main event: a grand live performance at the SAGA Arena. 

But suddenly, a massive spaceship appears in the skies above Saga and launches a full-scale attack across the prefecture. The members of Franchouchou are thrown into panic. Is there really nothing ordinary idols can do in the face of such a crisis…? 

Just then, the legendary Tae Yamada—the only one who hadn’t regained her self-awareness as a zombie—awakens. Declaring her departure from Franchouchou, she heads alone into enemy territory to put an end to the invasion. 

Can the now-splintered Franchouchou come together once more, restore their bond, and save Saga!?
