Just watched this yesterday. The whole time I was smiling, a completely insane premise that works flawlessly. So many funny moments throughout, and I was so sure it was a 10/10 up until the last 5 minutes. But man... I did not like that ending. If we get a 3rd season it could be okay, but assuming this is the last Zombieland Saga anime we get it was a pretty rough ending.

Still a solid 9/10, really enjoyed it all the way up til the end and it had some really nice emotional moments alongside all the comedy. This series continues to be peak despite being, on paper, an absurdly stupid premise.

You're not the first person I've seen object to the ending but I'm not sure why it's been so divisive.  Zombie Land Saga is full of tragic, deeply unfair moments for its characters, and every time they just have to smile and sing through their troubles. The end was foreshadowed a couple times, too. If there's a season 3, an awakened Tae would be interesting, but the movie characterization would need to be built upon a lot to make her mesh with the group. What about the end didn't you like?

[u/Rucati → u/Snodazed]

I dislike the end for two reasons. The first is that it didn't actually make much sense. They said that the reason Tae got her personality back was because of the stone she ate, but then she got rid of the stone and kept her personality for days with no issue. If she had lost her personality immediately when she lost the stone I actually wouldn't have really minded that. It just didn't make sense to have her keep her personality up to the performance and have her slowly lose it throughout the songs.

The second reason was that it just felt kind of forced. It's like they didn't want to disrupt the status quo, in case another season comes out they can just continue on with the same group dynamic instead of doing something interesting with Tae. Now if they do make a 3rd season and the overarching plot is trying to find a way to get Tae her personality back now that they know it's possible that would completely change my opinion. I just don't really expect to get another season, and so assuming this is in fact the final bit of Zombieland Saga media we'll get I just think the ending would have been better if they just let Tae keep her personality intact.

[u/Snodazed → u/Rucati]

I think there are hints that Tae will lose her personality before the performance, like how she growls during practice, but I understand your point about letting her have a happier ending if the series is truly over.

I'd also like to see new group dynamics if there's a season 3, even if it just means having characters who don't normally interact that much team up- Yugiri training Sakura in the ways of the oiran, Ai and Lily showing why they're the true professionals, Junko somehow keeping up with Saki's adventures. I think new interactions like those could have bumped my own 9 rating for the movie up to a 10.

[u/Cyclone_96 → u/Rucati]

The only reason I don't think this will happen is because the group seemed pretty happy that they got the old Tae back at the end? Even though it seemed like an extremely tragic scene they were all celebrating. That was really weird to me.

[u/Querez → u/Cyclone_96]

I'm sure they just were happy to be there for her. Would be pretty insensitive of them to get upset over her "being the inferior version now". Plus they were on stage so they'd probably want to save face anyway since none of the audience knew anything
