 https://myanimelist.net/anime/52741/Undead_Unluck?q=undead%20unl&cat=anime Plot Summary After reading the conclusion of her favorite manga series, Fuuko Izumo finally feels ready to end her existence. For the past 10 years, Fuuko has been afflicted by a condition that brings extreme misfortune to anyone who touches her. This has had a drastic effect on her surroundings, even inadvertently resulting in the deaths of those around her—including her parents. As she stands on a bridge above train tracks, Fuuko is touched by a strange man, causing the footing underneath him to break and dropping him in front of an oncoming train. However, when Fuuko finds the man's corpse, she discovers that his body is regenerating and that he is coming back to life. The man, whom Fuuko names Andy, is immortal—and like her, he also wishes for death. Initially dismissive, Fuuko eventually decides to team up with Andy to give him the best death possible; but a mysterious organization lurks in the shadows, hoping to take advantage of the duo's bizarre abilities.

| First episode is now available on Hulu. No idea if other streaming services globally are airing this, as Disney seems to have kept things extremely close to their chest this time. Episode 1 Fuuko tries to commit suicide, but her encounter with the immortal Andy leads to one wild ride as he wants to use her Unluck ability so he can die spectacularly. But some other guys want to capture them for their Negator powers as well, and in the end it takes a kiss to Andy to bring a meteor down on their heads. That was some crazy censorship around Andy's privates, but it's better than the blurred boxes in the manga. |

| Crap, we both just posted a discussion thread for this within 45 seconds of each other. >.> |
| Episode 1 Here we have an undead man looking to die in grandiose fashion, and a girl who is cursed with the power to negate one's luck. Fuko's parents died in a plane crash shortly after touching her, and because of that she has secluded herself, until Andy came in and saved her from a bunch of guys in suits who are out to use Fuko's ability for sinister purposes. Pretty crazy stuff there with Andy being so reckless as since he can't die he can take anything and everything. Even so, he needs to realize he's in the presence of a girl. Interesting setup here as the staff that produced Fire Force at David Pro does a nice job with the animation and stuff. That said, the story is kind of a mess at this point, but that's not a big problem for the first episode if it plays its cards right as this is a two-cour season. |

| This series starts off pretty rough. Did not really enjoy it when the manga started and dropped it fairly quickly. Picked it up again much later and it has become a favourite. Any criticism people are going to have of the first few episodes is honestly well deserved. The Manga really was not great when it started. Saying "It gets better" is kind of an understatement though. Let me just say that Fuuko is the Main Character. Her journey from where she starts in this first episode, to the fantastic hero she is now in the manga is a great ride. |
| Oh, that was good. Easily one of the best new show first episodes this season. At first it seemed really pretentious and I wasn't sure where it was going, but once the 'manga' part was over it was all fun after that. Especially after Andy fell off the ledge and got splatted. I wouldn't be surprised if a big part of the inspiration for Andy's character was Deadpool. |

| Episode 2 The guys in suits are part of an organization called the Union that pursues Negators, and they've got some Negators in their ranks as well. Two of them, Shen and Void, go after Fuuko and Andy next. When Shen mentions the Negators in the Union and their exemptions from being pursued, Fuuko wonders if they can join as well. But when Void tells them there are no open positions, Andy decides to dispatch the two Union Negators so he and Fuuko can take their place in their ranks. After getting caught up in a building being demolished, Andy dispatches Void at point-blank range. But he has a bit of trouble against Shen. Fortunately, they catch a break when Fuuko tries to offer Andy her virginity, and Shen gives the two Negators another target to potentially dispatch. So now Fuuko and Andy are off to Russia. |
| Failure is always an option. |
| Well, I didn't expect them to try and join the bad guys. Another very fun episode though. This is the kind of over the top craziness I can get behind. |
| Cursive is the future. - Nate Bargatze |
| Epsiode 2 Andy is just crazy there. But in the meantime, Fuko and Andy are being hunted, and the only way they are protected is to join Union, which is an exclusive organization where only ten negators may be members at a time. Shen is fighting them and Fuko. Just when things were looking bleak, another pair of Negators are being targeted, and those two end up going there instead. Just crazy to see Andy being so reckless knowing that he can't die from just about anything. |
| Episode 3 On the way to Lake Baikal, Andy's yacht gets blown out of the water. But performing CPR on Fuuko causes a massive stroke of unluck once she realizes what he did, and they commandeer an enemy jet and fly the rest of the way. Andy splits off from Fuuko, and she meets an artist girl on the lake shore. They really hit it off, but it turns out the artist girl, Gina, is the Negator they're looking for. Plus, she's the one who captured Andy fifty years prior. |
| Failure is always an option. |
| I keep thinking Fuuko reminds me of Tamaki from Fire Force and the art work reminds me of Fire Force, then I see it's David Productions, so no wonder |
| Episode 3 It's off to Russia where Fuko and Andy meet up with an artist girl by the lake. Little did they realize that the painter Gina is actually a Negator herself. They would have been great friends had they met without all this Negator stuff, but because Negators are being hunted except for those who are part of Union that they are fighting. Fuko's unlucky streak continues. |
| Episode 4 Andy keeps attacking Gina while she's monologuing about the past, culminating in a shower of blood as the nature of her Negator power is revealed: Unchange. But nothing can get through the barrier she's put up around herself. However, there's a hole in the barrier at Gina's feet, and all Fuuko and Andy need to do is alter the orientation of the barrier so Fuuko can throw Andy's head into the hole. Once that happens, Gina's UFO zaps both her and Andy as Fuuko's stroke of unluck is transferred. Gina ends up dying in Andy's arms, so now both Andy's and Fuuko's spots in the Union are secured. |

LouieGrandie said: He told her at the end of the first episode that they should have sex.OK how long before ANdy realizes that the way to get max destruction out of Fuko is to have full on sexual relations with her. |

| Episode 5 Fuuko and Andy are brought to the Union's Round Table, where Andy gives a rather rude welcome to all the group's Negators, led by Juiz. Then the talking book Apocalypse issues six quests that need to be completed by the end of the month, or a penalty will be issued. Quests include capturing UMA's, which represent rules, or Negators, which negate said rules, and completing them yields rewards such as the locations of Negators, Artifacts, and UMA's; or adding a new opening on the Round Table. Andy decides to tackle the hardest of the six quests, capturing UMA Spoil, and selects Fuuko and Shen to go with him. But before that, Andy needs a suit that can withstand his fighting style. By sheer coincidence, a UMA called Clothes escapes from confinement and ambushes Andy. Once Fuuko takes advantage of Clothes's rules and its preference toward latching onto females, Andy leaps in between them, and the UMA becomes his new suit. Now it's off to America to find UMA Spoil. |

| I love this show. The craziness is so much fun. |
| Cursive is the future. - Nate Bargatze |
| Looks like next week they plan to finish of the Zom 100 story |
| Episode 4 So Gena and Andy have some history with each other, and Gena is actually an old hag with the appearance of somebody 50 years younger than her actual age. That's because of her Unchange. But even though she was a formidable opponent, Fuko and Andy work together and Andy uses his immortality to take her down. So with Gina knocked out, that means Andy and Fuko can join the Union. |
| I will say, I didn't expect the alien invader holding the world hostage storyline |
| Okay, NOW we get news on where this series will be streaming globally. Brazil will stream this series on Star+ beginning December 13, so I'm assuming Disney+ globally around that same time. |
| Failure is always an option. |
| Episode 5 And the rest of the Union members are introduced as Fuko and Andy are welcomed in. Fuko is now wearing a suit that looks very sharp on her, all while Andy finally has some clothes that he won't need to replace every time he gets chopped up into pieces as he captures a UMA that he now wears. The Negators are definitely an interesting bunch, and in particular Mui stands out seeing that his cute girl is Shen's sister and is quite helpful in helping the two navigate through this organization. And then there are the quests with Andy going with the toughest one seeing that nothing can kill him. So it's off to America. |
| Episode 6 It's off to America to find Unrepair, and Fuko, Andy, and Shen are cruising through the Nevada dessert on a truck, arriving at the island town of Longing, where its inhabitants have been turned into zombies. And of course, Andy would charge right through to go for all the spoils to take down the UMA Spoil. Andy was turned into a zombie, but thanks to his undead ability he didn't become a full-fledged zombie. But then Fuko goes after the kid who hasn't been spoiled, getting a countdown timer on her stomach. While that's happening, Andy find the UMA Spoil inside the town chapel. Quite a mess things have become in this town as Spoil has killed of a town. |
| Episode 6 Andy, Fuuko, and Shen arrive at a town in Nevada, where Spoil's power has turned its citizens into zombies. Andy takes the direct approach into town, but he gets hit with Spoil's curse, and although he can regenerate, his body rots again just as quickly. Fortunately, Andy finds a woman who has retained her sense of self, and she can lead him to where Spoil is hiding, provided she can wear a wedding dress. Meanwhile, Fuuko spots a kid going underground and follows him, with Shen close behind. There they find some more kids who haven't succumbed yet. Andy puts on an impromptu zombie wedding, and the woman zombie points to Spoil, disguised as a statue in the church. Once Spoil is exposed, Andy rings its clock with the church bell, bringing all the zombies in town to help him. |
| Failure is always an option. |
| Pulls out a rocket launcher, uses an 18 wheeler to mow down a bunch of zombies, does a flying regeneration death spin, then marries a zombie. I love this show. At first I thought the little kid was going to end up being Spoil. Random thought: if Tanjirou from Demon Slayer had the unluck ability he'd cause massive disasters every time he touched a demon. |
| Cursive is the future. - Nate Bargatze |
| Episode 7 As it turns out, the counter is extended by thinking about dreams, and that's why those kids aren't spoiled yet, and it's all thanks to the kindergarten teacher that told them to think about their dreams when the going gets tough. The teacher has at least a bit of sanity thanks to Andy putting on a fake wedding so that she can fulfill her dream of wearing a wedding dress. Then Fuko uses her Unluck on the teacher, who passes it on to Spoil, and then then she unlucks the other zombies that Spoil devours. But Spoil simply changes form and he's pretty powerful, so much that his blast destroys the Statue of Liberty at the New York, New York in Vegas, and whatever Spoil touches instantly rots. Fuuko and Shen sure are fighting hard and not giving up on their dream knowing that there is a way to complete the quest. |
| Episode 7 The kids Fuuko found have remained unspoiled because of their dreams, and the woman zombie is their teacher. Andy changes the strategy once he realizes Fuuko's Unluck is effective, and the teacher hugs Fuuko before charging Spoil. All the other zombies follow the plan, but Spoil soon inhales them all and changes form, increasing his power in the process. Now living things rot just by being close to it, but Fuuko and Shen refuse to give up as they keep their dreams in the forefront of their minds. |
| Failure is always an option. |
| Episode 8 Shen has figured out how to beat Spoil as the key is to keep this distance from its main body. So he comes up with the plan to send Andy into space to fight Spoil where he can freely battle and take his core. And when Andy returns, he turns into an entirely different person as it's the god Victhor who is in control. He beats up Shen, and reinforcements arrive to fight him. So while Spoil is defeated, they got another problem at hand as Victhor is a whole different beast. |
| Episode 8 Shen holds his own against Spoil, using an extendable staff and his Negator ability, Untruth. But when the ground opens up beneath Andy's feet, Spoil charges for a big attack. Andy removes the card lodged in his forehead as Shen uses his staff to send him and Spoil into outer space. Andy turns into Victor, who easily extracts Spoil's core before returning to solid ground. However, Victor beats up Shen and turns on Fuuko. Shen calls for the other Union Negators as reinforcements, and now another battle is on hand. |
| Failure is always an option. |
| They brought out the boss music for Victor, and he deserves it. |
| Cursive is the future. - Nate Bargatze |
| Episode 9 Fuuko has a plan to bring Andy back, but it involves clutching to Victor until his personality resurfaces. All the Union Negators keep Victor from killing Fuuko, until she shoots his forehead and plugs the wound with her thumb. Once Andy's personality comes out, he kisses Fuuko, and everyone runs away as a meteor shower decimates the town. Fuuko then runs back and plugs the card into Andy's forehead. A few days later, everyone's back at the Round Table to hear the results of the month's quests from Apocalypse. |
| Failure is always an option. |
| Episode 9 All it took was a scarf and Fuko has brought Andy back to his senses, at least for a moment. Victhor continues to fight, but the Negators of the Union put a stop to him and Andy kisses Fuko. She was in quite a dangerous situation there as she was at the bottom of a lakebed that quickly filled up, but she got out. So with that, the quest has been completed, and they are awaiting the results. |
| So far I'm liking this better than JJK. I thought Fuuko was going to tell Andy she'd sleep with him in order to get him to come back to the fore. Shooting him in the head then sticking her finger in his brain was pretty clever though. |

| @zkeleton JJK isn't really doing it for me this season...the story is all over the place. |
| Episode 10 The quests have ended, and all but one of them ended up successful netting the Union an extra seat the location of Unburn in Hawaii, the unification of languages, the location of the artifact in Egypt, and the location of Unrepair in Brazil. But the quest to capture the UMA Unseen failed, and as for the penalty for failing that one quest, the negators are tasked with an extra quest to defeat the UMA Galaxy. But Juiz deals with it easily, all while issuing a warning that 99 penalties have been issued and with one more penalty the door opens to unleash the final penalty, Ragnarok, that will end the world. Next order of business is to add Unrepair or Unburn to fill the 11th seat as failure is no longer an option. |
| Episode 10 Five of the quests were successful, and there's a new opening on the Round Table, the unification of all languages to English, the location of a new Artifact, and the Union being given the locations of two Negators, Unburn and Unrepair. But because the Negator Unseen was taken by another party, most likely by Unrepair, Apocalypse adds UMA Galaxy as a penalty, and the Negators head to Australia to deal with an alien invasion. Juiz uses her Negator ability, Unjustice, and the invading fleet turns on each other. However, Juiz tells Andy and Fuuko that UMA Galaxy is penalty number 99, and they can't afford any more penalties because one more will open the door to the final penalty: Ragnarok, the end of the world. Juiz assigns Andy, Fuuko, and Tatiana to go to Rio de Janeiro to find Unrepair, as they need to fill the open seat before they can do any more quests. |

| What a crazy/great show. The universe appears out of nowhere, aliens invade and then are immediately destroyed. Victor knew about days of the week before. I guess some UMA from the past brought them about, but then was captured/eliminated? Unseen's power doesn't appear to be so great if he/she has to have their eyes closed in order for it to work. 'I can become invisible, and then blind myself at the same time.' |

| Episode 11 It’s off to Rio to find Unrepair where he is rumored to be at an underground auction aboard a luxury cruise ship. For that, Fuko needs to dress up, and while it’s bad enough she needs to wear something that shows some skin, what Andy has been picking out shows too much of it. And Fuko is taking out her frustration on the clothing UMA so that she can deliver a shot of unluckiness to Andy. As if things weren’t difficult enough, a rival organization of Negators has arrived on the ship, and unlike with Union, who seeks to change the rules of the world, Under is determined to get revenge. Looks like both organizations want Unrepair and it will be a battle to see who gets him. |
| Episode 11 Andy and Fuuko get some snazzy new threads to infiltrate a black-market auction on a cruise ship departing from Rio de Janeiro, with Tatiana serving as their eyes and ears from the outside. But four Negator Hunters have also infiltrated the ship to cause havoc, including Rip and his escort Latla. |
| Failure is always an option. |
| Shen needs to give Fuko some pointers on having positive feelings towards people so she can make her unluck effective against people she's fighting. |
