Highschool: Colégio da Morte

This anime is pretty good I must say. There's action,little bit romance,comedy. I really love this anime. Also the ova was so funny you can't imagine. I wish there were a season 2 but the author is dead. So,there is no hope chances are very slim. Still you should give it a go I think you won't regret it.

A small band of students escape the post-zombiefication of their school to discover their families fates while battling some unsavoury survivors and zombie hordes.

The teen focus for the most part works, although it plays a little awkward for viewers given the abundance of up-skirt and cleavage shots. Still it's an interesting perspective. Some of the scenes granted are childish and overly comedic but these are few and those familiar with the anime style wont bat an eyelid. The interplay between the teenagers and adult protagonists are handled well and the highschoolers especially Psycho and Takashi come across older than they are.

There's cursing, violence, action and gore aplenty, the slow moving zombies are perfectly realised, gruesome and scary which gives the show the required edginess to hold its own. High School of the Dead is designed and drawn skilfully with the sound design and soundtrack as equally pleasing.

Yes, it suffers from the all zombie genres clichés and stereotypes but it's fulfilling, exciting and fun.

I'm not very good at reviews, so you'll have to forgive me. I'm sure someone else will write a better review soon though. First off, I used to love anime when I was much, much younger, but seem to have outgrown it unfortunately. When I saw the title of this though, I figured I would give it a try. I thought it was really good. Good, or good enough, story & dialogue Great animation. Good direction (was kinda like watching a non anime movie). Lots of blood & violence, and of course a lot of shake'n titties & panties shots. Japanese artist love some tits and ass. Any way, Great show. Can't wait to watch the second episode.

Let's start by saying that this receives a 10 based on entertainment value. This is in no way a masterful piece of art, or a thought-provoking series. However, what it does, it does extremely well - violence, gore, keeping with what you expect from horror and anime (breasts, short skirts, profanity, etc).

The story is a very simple one to follow - it's the zombie apocalypse and a group of high school students and the school nurse are trying to survive. The characters are surprisingly deeper than you'd expect and the interactions are intriguing.

The show is completely over the top as you'd expect; chock-full of scantily clad young women, tons of f-bombs, an exorbitant amount of blood, dismemberment and did I mention a lot of fanservice and nearly naked animated girls? That much may be hard for some to take, but when you can look at this show as an over-the-top tribute to horror, mostly traditional zombies and anime targeted at young men, you can really enjoy it.

Let me go back to my mention of "mostly traditional" zombies - the zombies here are what Romero fans WANT to see. No running or smarts here; just slow walkers, flesh eaters and the undead. It's wonderful to see. There is one small twist in their zombie, but it's acceptable and helps with the pacing of the story.

If you're a fan of zombies, Romero or Horror and have never watched an anime series before, this is where to start. I would highly recommend this to horror fans that aren't into anime, anime fans that like zombies, or anyone into zombies for that matter.

With Highschool of the Dead I expect nothing than a fun ecchi anime to waste time and I got more than that in the end not because the plot intriguing me or the anime done something new to the genre it parody but because it got some of the most outrageous fan-service sequence that blew my mind away about how down right insane it is. The group of main characters are just a bunch of walking and living zombie genre cliché so naturally I don't care about them at all so the most of my enjoyment come from the zombie action and the fan-service which I mention before pretty insane to the point that if this anime got more balls that it already have it will be a full-fledged hentai. Sadly the manga author Daisuke Sato passes away 2 years ago so the anime still remain unfinished but the main attraction of this anime in my opinion is the fan-service so it not gonna bother anyone so check this one out
