Good ep, I liked this waayyy more than the first ep. Its funny how fast the girl got super happy after her BF got killed a few mins ago tho lol. Problem is I don't really care about most of the chars, or if they die. So far though I like the chubby guy, pink haired girl, and the nurse the most.

7.5-8/10 For me. Good ep

It's on the same good level as the previous ep. Some pretty intelligent moves I’d say (as far as zombie film scenarios go – the fire hose i.e.) and cool ways to defend against zombies. Now speaking of which – prove me wrong, but don’t nailguns have a blockade that allows to shoot only when the front is touching the surface of your target? Or could he just remove it like it was nothing?

BTW – boob headshot at the end of the episode was hilarious, just like the jiggle sounds. It fits the atmosphere perfectly.

I don't usually mind fan-service but the exaggerated jiggling sounds... Come on, that's just retarded. I'll have to admit that it was kinda funny at first, but the second time? No.

@Shizuka's boobs : Please keep quiet from now on. You're great and all but you're way too noisy. ^^

Other than that, the episode was great. Saeko and Hirano are just pure awesomeness. Loved the Ikkaku-ish mad laughter!

Naw I think ep 4 or ep 8.. at the pace this is going.

The show is still following the manga which is great.

BTW I think the pace is either .5 of a chapter per ep or 1, taking ot account that chapter 1 and 2 is 60 pages long.

Episode 2 airs on AT-X today, hope it gets subbed soon.

Saw the AT-X one and there's not that uncensored. This is probably the limit of uncensoring we get until the Blu-Ray will be out. This sucks.

And Hirano aka "the fat guy" is my hero. He's the most manliest character in the whole show.

Saya's voice fits perfectly~
They same can't be said about Kouta though : < Just.. Doesn't really suit him >.<
He's still cool though : D
Saeko <3 Was wondering how it'd turn out with Sawashiro Miyuki as her seiyuu, but it went perfectly fine~
(And I would very much like to know what made the director choose to have breasts as basis for this adaption, instead of more emphasis on the actual story =3= Saying something like “I Want Jiggling Breasts in Every Scene”.. 馬鹿馬鹿しい。┐(-。ー')┌)

Btw, did I mention that the OP is like.. One of the best this season?
And give me some more Saeko in the coming episodes ( ´・‿-)~

Saeko is by far the smartest in the group if you ask me. She knows how to fend off zombies with minimal effort while keeping on the move.

Hirano is second smartest with his weapon knowledge and overall improvisation skills which he demonstrated quite thoroughly this ep

Great episode so far, but how come most but not some of the females tend to be a little annoying (exception only is Saeko Busujima)?

I hate to admit it but I was actually happy that there was no fanservice in this episode.

I certainly see why Saeko is so adored, she's the best female in the show and Sawashiro Miyuki makes it better <3. Ms. Boobs is... well, I hope she does something significant or at least doesn't act so retarded. Has she been secretly helping herself to the medicine cabinet, I wonder? Another nice ep despite the censors here and there. That's where imagination is supposed to be a temporary substitute I guess. I certainly surprised myself on how graphic mine turned out to be at the drill scene lol.

Hirano has the same voice actor as Viral from TTGL. Noticed it when he said "I don't know, but I think so!" after the pink haired chick asked him if he noticed something.

the pacing is really slow for a 13ep anime. hope they make it 26, at least until the end of the Mall arc. If they go with 13eps, I hope that they at least end it with
and make a season 2.
looks like the BD version is a must watch for those who like this anime. too much black screen (for the ATX version that is XD).
i dont understand one thing, the director said there'll be a lot of fanservice. there were maybe 3 panty shots. that was pretty normal. i liked it. but my head started to hurt after that BOING BOING scene. i mean, zombies are attacking and you hear them groanin and BOING BOING. its ridiculous.
I liked the fact that its kinda realistic. i mean, they are high school students. they arent zombie killing machines. even the Rei scene from the first episode. I just saw Diary of the Dead, and there was a similar scene, when that blonde chick says that that guy was special, he wont come back. she was sooo wrong :D
i give the censored version a 4/5, but because the BD rip will have the smashing and drilling parts, i'll give it 5/5 :D

after watching the first episode, his words sounded honest. if the other episodes are more like episode 2, it'll be great.

Uh, that's what a zombie is. A walking target. Their threat is how they can make more of themselves quickly but other than that they can be taken out fairly easily. That's not really a flaw.

The classical zombie was not made to overpower a human in a one on one. they were made to swarm their prey like piranha. They made up for their slow by using numbers to corner and devour. THAT is the origin. Quite frankly I would roll my eyes if we got the Resident Evil 4 and 5 variety >_>. Slow zombies are true zombies >_>

3.5/5 for this episode.

Better than the first, but they should improve the animation in the action scenes.
It's like a slideshow, derp.

Highschool of the dead has the Romero zombies, from his Dead movies (dawn of the dead, land of the dead, survival of the dead), the whole manga/anime is a tribute to romero. the name of the manga, and even the names of chapters/episodes.

Zombies are dead. Rigor Mortis. Stiff body. they are not the mutants from L4D. I think that Takagi said enough to understand it. they are blind, they only act on noise and instincts. they cant run or jump. but even like this, like a walking target, they are deadly. One bite is enough to kill.

I'm curious if the zombie turning method has to do with their teeth or saliva or something, I mean the blood has gotten on the other characters faces and stuff, even a little bit had to a least touch the eyes or sip into the mouth no?
