High School of the Dead

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.

Ah, what an epic Zombie Apocalypse it was. Since I love Zombie Apocalypse a lot, I planned to watch it. After watching 4-5 episodes, I was like, "Amazing, it's a total must watch." But I had an issue. They don't need to keep injecting cleavage (or bouncing boobies), and the roll-in-the-hay (or bathtub) scenes they seem to relish pushing. Just when I'm getting into a twist in the plot, here comes some up-skirt shot. I've been training myself to ignore those shots - but perhaps many people like that kind of thing. Many people like those scenes like but I don't. It was truly boring. After watching 8-9 episodes, I started expecting a lot from this Ecchi. And yeah, I was wrong. The ending was not what I wanted. It was kinda incomplete. Still, it's great.

Overall, HOTD is gonna be amazing for you if you like Zombie Apocalypses and those scenes as well. But if you're not interested in those scenes, you'll start feeling bored soon. Anyways this Ecchi gave me an amazing plot but it'll be better if they make a new season.

My ratings: 7.5/10

I should clarify from the off - I am male, I love the female form, and I love anime. I even find myself defending most things that are deemed to have 'gratuitous' sex and nudity. But HOTD really scores an own goal with the frequency of ludicrously overdone shots of melons and buttocks jiggling. I know this is a staple of anime, but not to this extent usually, and it genuinely does distract from the story and induced a lot of eye rolling and sighing from me.

It's a shame because, despite not really bringing anything new to the table for zombie flicks, nor being especially thought-provoking, this is a genuinely well made work. The use of music, sound in general, and above all some excellent animation, as well as the way the story moves and the generally quite dark atmosphere...all makes for a show that is fun to sit down and watch if you're into zombie stories. To the extent that I did want there to be a second season and a completed story. Anime also seems to tackle zombies less often than it has the potential to, which does bring a uniqueness to what is happening here - so why ruin all that and the potential for a great product by injecting something so mundane and puerile over and over again?

If it had been scaled down to more standard anime amounts, fine. There is always going to be a certain amount of sexual tension in a post apocalyptic world, and there was nothing wrong with it being used to a lesser degree for the romantic subplots. There are moments where it is employed to genuinely humorous effect. If it had been restricted to those two things, I think this anime could have developed a far larger following.

It's just a pity they ruined that because they decided that, instead, the whole show should grind to halt on occasion because they have nothing more interesting to offer than foisting breasts on you. It isn't that this is a perfect show aside from this - there are some logical inconsistencies, particularly pertaining to the zombies being driven by hearing alone, and the doctor is infuriatingly vapid for a...well, doctor! But there's certainly enough entertainment and a compelling enough atmosphere to wish the show hadn't ended as prematurely as some of its more base viewers doubtless did.

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.

The anime starts with a bit frightening scene of good intensity which is able to catch your attention then and there. It will carry you along a wave and will force you to complete it within 4 to 5 hours. Good for binge watch. Couldn't complete it in a single take but suggested binge watch. All characters are not at all connectable but seem fine. Has got all elements for adults. Contains ecchi, harem, zombies and over the top action sequences. ALERT: not for kids or teenagers below 17.
