High School of the Dead (2010)

Review by jeremygirvan

High School of the Dead

8/10

Monica Rial

This woman voices an atrocious, obnoxious, whinny, egotistical &*(%# who does nothing but cry, scream and rant about how smart she is and how dumb and useless everyone else is throughout the entire series. And yet, Monica managed to make this character likable and have a strong presence in the series (see episode 2 and tell me her break- down wasn't powerful). Also, so long as you don't watch this with you mum (and can endure the nudity present in episode 6 - a very funny episode, btw), you'll basically develop a tolerance for the obscene amount of fan-service, which will instead turn into more of a gymic than anything. Also, surprisingly, all the obscene characters actually feel genuinely human (at least, the main characters do). You actually believe that these are normal teenagers in a zombie apocalypse when listening to their dialogue and how they interact. Like in one scene where the main character is carrying an unconscious, naked and extremely busty school-nurse on his back, he states "If this were under any other circumstances, this would be so %^&#ing hot." Yes, despite having super-model teenager samurai killing hordes of undead while the police and army are shown to be useless, the main cast feels surprisingly human. When they're dealing with anxiety (parental issues, dead boyfriends, etc.), how the main character copes with these issues is very human while also being logical and understandable - such as telling a girl to shut up about her neglectful parents when she should just be happy she knows they're still alive.
