High School of the Dead – Anime Review. The main group consists of Mr Bland the usual harem protagonist, useless main girl, a kendo girl (obviously), a fat otaku, some screeching wench, and the dumbest nurse alive (perhaps literally, at this point). Of this group, the otaku is the only passable character. He represents a glimpse at what High School of the Dead should have been. (I understand that most of you have seen this already, I just figure to post the review.) Highschool (sic) of the Dead (abbreviated as HOTD in the titles) shows some real originality with being the first anime treatment of zombie apocalypse genre. It shines with its gritty depiction of high school students rising to the occasion when The World Ends in the middle of a school day, takes some.
Right, so I decided to give this a try, and it's pretty much your standard zombie shlock in anime flavor. A group of teenagers (and an adult) of varying likability find themselves in a zombie apocalypse and must fight to survive. Amongst said characters are the pervy protagonist, his childhood friend (I think)/love interest, the gun otaku, the unnecessarily belligerent Alpha Bitch, the Aloof Dark-Haired Girl, and the school nurse to be the designated adult.
The show is Best Known for the Fanservice, and for good reason. There's gainaxing other boob shots, and panty shots galore. One episode even has a bath scene, and hell, the OVA is a Beach Episode (presumably they couldn't fit one into the 12 eps they had). Besides that, though, is the large amounts of Gun Porn I'm not sure is all entirely accurate, and, perhaps the worst thing about the show, the shoehorned political commentary. I mean really, when you're showing panty shots and boob shots every other scene in your zombie survival series, you've got some nerve shoving your political views in acting like you're being insightful, when really you're just being pretentious. Seriously.
Oh, and the little girl peeing scene. In one episode, the protag picks up a kid who just lost her dad to the zombies. While trying to get away from the house he found her at and back to the group, she complains she has to go and can't hold it anymore, before asking if she can just pee, which the protag begrudgingly agrees to. Yeah. If you had any doubts the writers was at least a little bit messed up, there you go.
Fortunately, the dub was handled by people who realize how stupid this all is and usually doesn't take itself very seriously. I say usually because even the stupid political commentary is left intact.
One thing I do kinda appreciate is nearly the entire female cast prove to be competent fighters in their own way. The closest anyone gets to being just The Chick is Shizuka, and even she has her moments. No one is The Load.
To sum up, if you don't mind dumb zombie shlock and gratuitous fanservice or are looking for something to rip on with your friends, give it a go. Otherwise, stay away.
Highschool Of The Dead Ep 1
High School of the Dead is a new anime airing on Anime Network and based on the High School of the Dead episode 1, it seems to be a pretty cool anime. The story seems to be okey though it is typical of zombie movies. The scenario is very similar to that of Resident Evil.
The episode starts with normal students at school then all of a sudden someone knocks on the school gate. That person at the gate turns out to be a zombie and everything starts from there. The P.E. teacher got bitten and it spread in the whole campus.
Takashi was the fist student to see the incident and he invited his friends Rei and Hisashi to get out of the school. Howver on their way out they were attacked by zombies. They decided to go to the rooftop and there they saw that the whole city had been affected by a 'zombie disease.'
Highschool Of The Dead Characters
I would not be making my ratings just yet because I cannot based the entire series based on this first episode alone. Certainly however, this anime is not for very young kids. It shows some skin including underwear and well some explicit parts too (though not exposed). The rating of High School of the Dead is at R-13.Here is the First Episode of High School of the Dead... enjoy and share your feedback as well.
