We all know how overused zombies are. They are in movies, tv shows, videogames, books, but rarely do we see them in anime. It’s weird. But, in the year 2010, we got an anime known as Highschool of the Dead, which showed the classic zombies that was seen in movies like Night of the Living Dead. The zombies were slow and lumbered, but were huge in numbers. This anime had a lot of scenes like this.
Like this.
And even this.
But, the zombies aren’t what make Highschool of the Dead so recognizable. No, if you’ve seen this anime, you’ll mostly recognize it for scenes like this.
And this
And especially this
You see, whenever… ANYTHING happens in this show, there is always going to be a shot of some girls boobs shaking like an earthquake, or showing what’s up their skirt. This anime cannot stop showing this kind of stuff to save it’s life. But we’ll touch upon more of that later. So, what’s the show about? Well, it’s about a group of characters trying their hardest to survive the zombie apocalypse, but mostly about not losing their cool, seeing as how every girl has breasts the size of their heads and skirts shorter than what the creators think the viewers attention span is. Now, let’s look at the characters. First, there’s the leader, Takashi.
Takashi is the typical black haired high school protagonist you see in anime. Just tries hard to be a badass, despite having no experience in fighting anything, especially zombies, and always broods about being dumped by his girlfriend… Speaking of which
Rei is the typical annoying love interest who has more mood swings than a high school girl should. One minute, she’s all pissed off at Takashi for… Reasons? Then the next, she’s trying her hardest to screw him because she needs attention. Kinda like all women (Oh god, I think I just fucked myself with that joke).
Saeko is the best character in the entire anime. Okay, maybe that’s an opinion, but when she’s the only character with actually some purpose to have fighting skills, being a student in using a sword, and being a character with some actual development and backstory that isn’t all about boobs and panty shots, than yeah, I think it’s more of a fact.
Saya is said to be a genius and can be kind, but doesn’t want to be seen as weak, so she throws away all personality just to be a bitch to everyone. The best character we can get
Kohta looks like a fat overweight nerd with glasses, but really, he’s a fat overweight nerd with glasses and understanding of firearms, allowing him to be the most badass character ever (Ironically, to add).
Shizuka is the school nurse………… She’s fucking useless
And then there’s Alice…. She’s not sexualized? Yeah, that about sums up the characters, really. How about the show itself? Well… it’s what you’d expect from an anime with boobs and zombies… There is definitely no short supply of either. I mean, the action scenes are pretty promising. They show a lot with their fighting, but sadly, boobs are there. And the anime always manages to show some deep and sometimes even depressing moments… but boobs are there as well. See what I mean? There are boobs all over this anime. Not one scene goes on without boobs. I want to love this anime, but when they can’t stop showing fanservice for more than five seconds, it’s pretty hard to. There isn’t much to be scared of when you’re trying to arouse the audience rather than scare them. I understand you want to keep their attention, but do it in different ways, please. I know this review was shorter than the last two, but I’ve already talked about this anime before, and there isn’t much else for me to say without repeating myself. Highschool of the Dead is great at using it’s zombies and action scenes, but it’s amount of breasts and panty shots make it hard to enjoy. If you want to watch this show, go right ahead. Just don’t expect it to be very serious. Well, that should do it. I will be seeing you all next time. Take care.

A car is violently flipped over.
"Yo! What the fuck!?" The passengers cried angrily.
"OPEN FIRE!" Officer Shane cried, and all the officers started killing the suspects, though they were no threat at all.
However, Shane ended up accidentally shooting chief Rick Grims, nearly killing him.
"Oh nooo... He's been shot because by the criminals" Shane called out nervously.
Shane and the officers ran over to the fading away Rick.
"By the way. If you die or fall into a coma.. I'm gonna sleep with your wife" Shane's voice said as it was fading away.
AT THE HOSPITAL
The doctor violent punches Rick while he was still unconscience.
"What you do doing!?" Shane cried.
"My job..Sometimes people FAKE being in a coma. This man's not.. Unless.. The first punch knocked him out.. Either way, we won't know for sometime" the doctor replied.
Stay tuned for more..
