What to Expect From The Is This a Zombie Source Material Compared to The Anime?
Is This a Zombie is chaos, and all of its media treats it as such. Aside from adapting Novel 6 in the OVAs (Novel 6 was pretty self-contained as a story anyway) the anime did adapt the light novel pretty well. It, of course, does skip a few moments, but nothing that would affect you carrying on with the story.
You don’t need to read the Is This a Zombie light novel from the beginning unless you just want to. The story is randomness, and the nice thing about that is that you can skip chunks of it without any serious repercussions.
Will There Be A Is This a Zombie Season 3?
As all the media—anime, manga, and light novel—are all long completed. I don’t think there is much hope of a Is This a Zombie Season 3 anime at this point.
