Mainly from characters in the movie.

There are references to alien invasion films in the Zombie Land Saga movie, but very few examples intentionally included material from existing films; in fact, they tried to avoid it.

The film is strongly reminiscent of “War of the Worlds,” but the alien arrival scene is inspired by the 1996 film “Independence Day.”

When the film was being developed, it was proposed to treat the final UFO shot from the second season as part of a Franchouchou music video and simply discreetly remove the entire alien theme. However, the entire staff agreed that confronting it directly, without running away from it, was much more in keeping with the spirit of Zombie Land Saga.

That's how the film ultimately became a serious alien invasion thriller starring the Franchouchou girls.

According to the ratings site MyAnimeList, the movie has a rating of 8.33 as of July 1, 2026, making it the highest-rated entry in the franchise.

Not only that, but with this rating, it also ranks as the best female idol anime on MyAnimeList by a good margin!

Furthermore, it's ranked as the third-best film from studio MAPPA (excluding compilation films like “Attack on Titan: The Last Attack,” which technically holds second place), behind Jujutsu Kaisen 0.

The zombie idol movie has truly been the best installment in the franchise so far, and if there is a third season, let's hope the trend continues.

A collaboration event will be held at the opening match of the Meiji Yasuda J2 League between Sagan Tosu and Ventforet Kofu on August 8.

Kaede Hondo, who plays Sakura Minamoto, and Asami Tano, who plays Saki Nikaido, will appear at the collaboration event scheduled for that day!
