Intergalactic Kung Fu Zombies, Go!
Got nine minutes? Then you need to watch the hell out of this ASAP. It’s got great art, is well-animated, and is pretty much the cartoon we all wished was on the air as kids. From the official summary:
It is the 23rd Century…
Earth has long since been
abandoned after the inevitable zombie apocalypse, and is now not much
more than a backwater post apocalyptic wasteland. However, Dead Earth
is still inhabited by the unfortunate masses of peoples trying to
survive after the wealthy and powerful were evacuated during the Zombie
Uprising. Day by day, they attempt to make a normal life amidst the
crumbled remains of what were once great cities and nations – whilst
fighting off the thriving undead that roam it’s surface.
Humanity
has spread across the stars, and the cross cultural frontiers &
explorations have begun anew, as more and more interstellar
civilizations are encountered. History does indeed have a way of
repeating itself, does it not? Because of this, the Interstellar
Embassy was created. It’s existence enables a more or less amenable
co-existence between the various races and species – keeping enough
order to discourage an eruption into complete chaos and war.
Enter the Intergalactic Kung Fu Zombies.
They have no memory of who they once were in their mortal lives.
They are not like other zombies, such as those from Dead Earth.
…
They
awoke aboard their BattleCruiser – the Coffin – 1, with but a brief
greeting by the G.H.O.S.T – a mysterious Artificial Intelligence whose
only purpose seems to be the vigilance of the cosmos, though it’s
location is completely unknown. It keeps their old identities a secret,
and they are not even sure if the digital persona even really knows
what their days amongst the living entailed. Regardless of the
situation, the G.H.O.S.T. always pays them handsomely for their
efforts, which enables them to upkeep the Coffin-1 BattleCruiser and
expand their arsenal. A question remains however, since their
zombification is likely sourced by the same mutagen or virus that
spawned the Zombie Uprising back on Dead Earth long ago…
They are… THE INTERGALACTIC KUNG FU ZOMBIES
