Highschool of the Dead is F***ING awesome!

[hazabaza1]

Basically just tits and zombies. Don't know how they mucked it up.

Not enough zombie tits.

2.all the episode names are shown in english(does japan hate kanji or something because last time i checked its the national alphabet.)

Yes. Because it is so bloody hard.

... or, they think the English looks better. Kinda like they did with Evangelion, ie use the other alphabet thing they have, because it looked cooler.

Just think should point out, I didn't say your second quote.

 

[flipsalty]

[flipsalty]

Okay, so ... watching this now...

... why is the intro softcore porn?

...Where can I find this?! I've got to get this shit.

Okay, it's not actually pornographic but it is very fanservice-y.

Oh, still sounds good. Where can I get it? Must I buy this off of the internet? Can I read some online? Tell me damn you!

Heard a lot of good things about this one, I'll probably have to check it out when in the mood for some horror/action/ecchi stuff.

[small]Assuming I can find a place that legally streams it to within the EU, that is...[/small]

For those of you who dont know Highschool of the Dead is a bran new anime about a zombie apocalypse in Japan, and the main characters are none other the Highschool students. It has everything a good zombie films is know for : blood, boobs, and the freakiest moments in zombie history that are so fucked up you feel both awesome and disturbed that it gives you goose bumps. so far there's only three episodes but trust me when I say you'll get hooked in just the first 10mins.
So I want to hear either your opinions or just say that you'll watch it and come back and post about it. Trust me you wont be disappointed.

I kept telling myself "I'm gonna make a thread about Highscool of the dead. I'm gonna make a thread about Highscool of the dead." And then you fucking ninja'd me. [HEADING=1][HEADING=1]AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH![/HEADING][/HEADING] *sigh* Props to you good sir... or madam, whatever.

Is there an English dub?

No not yet. An d I understand if you dont like reading subtitles either because Im just super lazy but once you watch a show or two you dont even care anymore.

Holy balls do they show a lot of boob shots and crotch/butt shots.

I watched the trailer for it. I got a good giggle out of it. If it's only redeeming factor is boobies, I'll skip out.
Are the zombie fighting scenes at least decent?

Watch [REC], the come back & say that.

I always want to watch anime but all of it always looks so shit I don't bother.
Saw something about this on & it intrigues me, but an Escapist more anime-orientated than I says it's an ecchi.

I dunno now. I suppose I'll check it out.

Whats REC? o BTW Higurashi is another Fucked up anime.

The fighting is EPIC. At some parts I found my self saying FUCK YA!

 

[rex922]

need to unwind with mindless entertainment

 

[The Only]

FUCKING Bleed for the anime!!

Why do so many people seem to be against fanservice?

Why do so many people seem to be against fanservice?

Its not that we don't like our favorite characters cracking out the swimsuit now and then, but too much of it can ruin its, to put it bluntly, seriousness. Whenever a big tittied woman comes ( hurr-durr)on screen, the only thing that we will pay attention too is her tits. Don't lie, its true. And when they are jiggling about, it ruins the atmosphere. During an epic battle between antagonist and protagonist, a busty girl with her ta tas flying about will seem outo of place, ruining the tension.

I hope I explained it well enough.

Best new anime along with Kuroshitsuji 2.

I'm not too sure about this one myself. I loved the first season, but I'm not sure I like where this one is going.

I adore Alois though.

Whats REC?

A Spanish zombie film [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1038988/], one of the scariest films out there & certainly the best zombie film made insofar.

It's brilliant, but a bit slow until the last third/quarter I thought.

 

[Arisato-kun]

Its a bit...blatant with it's fanservice.

That's probably the most vast and gigantic understatement of the century.

No kidding -_-
I remember one part of the manga where all the guys are freaking out about how to deal with the zombies, but its showing all the girls taking a very steamy bath

Which was awesome. So, so awesome.

Seriously don't go into HSOD expecting a lot. It's just the core of mindless entertainment in the zombie genre. It's this simplicity that makes it great. Guns, Swords, Blood & Gore, Badasses, Boobs. That's all you really need.

Hell I love the screwed up sections of fanservice, though they're not all like that. Especially in one shot where

Spoiler

some girl's being devoured and you don't see her upper half of her body, but you see her panties.

It's screwed up but in a way that adds humor. I love it.

Give it time. The first one I hated pretty much the first few episodes. They were interesting but very very weird (As victorian times with demon butlers and the episodes with the Ciel traps weird) but when I got round to watching it I enjoyed it. I'm thinking the same will happen here. Still enjoyable though even if it isn't quite as good in my opinion.

 

[Dango]

I watched the first episode, and I'm not interested in things that try to draw me in with boobs, I'm partially looking at you, Mass Effect. And there are better animes that have recently premiered anyway (Amagami SS and Ookami-san To Shichinin No Nakama-tachi).
