I’m a sucker for zombie shows so I thought the beginning was decent but it was absolutely horrendous after the first few episodes, especially with how much fanservice they threw in. Indeed. I also like zombie apocalypse genre and we literally only have two zombie apocalypse anime. One is mostly CGDCT moeblob (which is still very good by itself), the other is... this thing. Seriously, watching this 12 episodes of nonstop shit posts, insufferable characters and lowest possible quality fanservice was painful. That matrix boobs scene was so damn cringe, I don't think anything will be able to top it. Good thing 3rd zombie apocalypse anime is coming this summer. |

| I'll be honest, I think this series is fine, but the plot has nothing going for me personally. I am not interested in seeing how this series ends because I am not that interested in its characters or their fates. One of the hardest things zombie themed stories have is that zombies in themselves are not compelling antagonists, seeing as zombies are mindless. Hence why nearly every zombie themed show will turn to having human antagonists. This is generic, but fine. The thing about High School of the Dead for me is that the plot doesn't really have any clear path forward without an antagonist or a special long term end goal, at least in the anime. The latter of which killed Bleach's popularity, mind you, and why I am surprised The Walking Dead is still airing(?). Things just happen, and by the end there is nothing for the viewer to anticipate if they aren't into ass and titties. The problems are present, but the suggested solutions are so vague as to warrant any type of resolution, which in the end invites disinterest. |

This shit has everything what csm has •tits and ass •gore •comedy •Action .... Except for what the chainsaw man does to actually differentiate itself in shonen: A story I mean, Chainsaw Man's story is the same as this one: "random things happen". But this one doesn't try to fake it isn't just random things happening. |
