The third episode of MAPPA, Avex Pictures, and Cygames' Zombie Land Saga anime revealed on Thursday that Kotono Mitsuishi is voicing Tae Yamada in the series. While the character has appeared in all three episodes thus far, she was credited with "????" in the first two.

Mitsuishi has performed in dozens of roles, but she is arguably best known for her role as Usagi Tsukino, the lead character in the Sailor Moon anime franchise. She has also voiced Misato Katsuragi in Neon Genesis Evangelion, Boa Hancock in One Piece, and Nobita's mom in Doraemon.

The anime premiered on October 4. Crunchyroll is streaming the series as it airs in Japan, and Funimation will begin streaming an English dub on October 28.

The anime follows Sakura Minamoto, who dreams of being an idol, but is hit by a car and wakes up as a zombie. A man named Kōtarō Tatsumi appears and tells her he's recruiting her into an idol group made up of zombies, dead girls he has "recruited" from several eras of Japanese history.

Munehisa Sakai (One Piece Film Strong World, Suite Precure, Sailor Moon Crystal) is directing the anime at MAPPA. "Kōhōkōchōka Zombie-gakari" (PR Zombie) is credited for the original work. Shigeru Murakoshi (Kakegurui, Garo -Vanishing Line- epsisode scripts) is in charge of series composition. Kasumi Fukagawa (Persona 3 the Movie #1 Spring of Birth Assistant Animation Director) is designing the characters, Kazuo Ogura is the art director, Takashi Yanagida is the director of photography, and Masahiro Gotō is the editor. Azusa Sasaki is in charge of color design, and Yasuharu Takanashi is composing the music. Avex Pictures is credited for music production, while dugout is credited for sound production.
