Oldy said: kodial said: Oldy said: belatkuro said: The manga was always like this and Madhouse is adapting is very closely, with some revamps with the fanservice, gore and some extra scenes. But there is always a difference in media. Manga and anime always and will be different in how they set up the story and the atmosphere. There will always be some aspects lost in adaptation, as well as some improvements made. It's how you see and enjoy the show now is the question. But then again, people who look at the same thing do not really see the same thing. Think about that ;) Nonsense Manga had atmosphere and it was never in that degree The only difference between the anime and the manga, is that the manga had more gore and violence than its anime adaptation. You'd see the bite marks on the zombies, guts being spilled and brains devoured, severed limps here n' there, etc. Actually though, that's what makes something 'horror'. Horror is not about the atmosphere, that something that a thriller requires to be successful, and HotD is not a thriller neither as an anime nor as a manga. Ofcourse with that being said, atmosphere works for horror too. Besides a good compination between a horror and a thriller is always a successful, even in the case of a zombie apocalypse, which is more horror oriented than thriller. But anyway, I don't know where you saw it but I never felt the manga had any kind of atmosphere. Just like the anime, it was just about gore, pantsu, boobs bouncing and zombie ass kicking. A perfect "b movie", that is. If anything, the anime lowered the gore scenes and heightened the action and fanservice scenes. Besides all that, Hirano is awesome! Too bad GG's version is censored too. Who subbing the uncensored one? Sigh... Nande Kisama? Listen i dont know where you saw 2 chapters/episodes full of naked girls just moaning and loaning around naked and grabing cocks in the manga but for me its clear that the ecchi factor is much higher in the anime its almost a soft porn as stated before the ecchiness could have been implemented much better and if you reread my little girl example much friendlier with the other parts of it I dont have a problem with ecchiness but this is clearly on the border of hentai and is hurting the anime itself. If they keep it like this i wanna see you after 10 episodes of hotd and wanna see if you are still that excited about that shit. Listen up. You are making a mountain out of a mole hill here. When I watched this episode, I was expecting fan service. I was expecting fan service the second I heard it got an adaption. If you have watched this far and thought you were not going to get T and A when you stuck on the episode then you are an idiot. Without question. (Plus I think you are really over exaggerating it. This isn't even close to hentai. It's still in the ecchi green zone.) I have come to accept the unusual jiggle physics and situations which place girls in as little clothing as possible. I have accepted much more far fetched things in animes so why not this? I don't really care about the fan service. As long as I get my kickass action I am happy. That's all I expect from this series. And I will be damned if I let a little thing like fan service stop me for enjoying one of the only good shows this season. |

kodial said: Is it a trend to write like 7h1s when you're quoting someone who you want to make him appear as stupid or immature? And Takashi was not the first to take action to save the girl, it was Hirano. And you're the one with the stupid ideas, there were a freaking lot of zombies, they did not have the time to pick them off one by one with Hirano's sniping. Butting in with the Humvee was the best way to go. And even so, with so many zombies right out of the front door, even the Humvee could not overrun them all, Hirano said that himself before. Their course of action was the best one. The anime does have a lot flaws but that were not them. Try harder next time! ;) I don't mean who was the first, I mean that they show our protagonist like he's the only one who's heroic enough to "make the decision and go out and save her". Then Busujima comes and play the good ol' wife role again. Yes, maybe the humvee part was right, but I just can't stand all the flaws, like you said. There are so many, every scene in the anime contains some stupidity. I have ambigious feelings about this anime. I do know that it's a brainless zombie apocalypse ecchi anime. And I do enjoy it. But it doesn't give you a free pass to make your characters so stupid. And even by doing so, it's like nobody even notices it. If you want to make a brainless anime, then I'd prefer the "people are so evil" moral left out. Like that whole over the top evil Shido-sensei scenario Yea yea... I should just watch it and fap, and ignore all these praises? |

| I wish they would stay dressed this way for the entire series, I'm liking the pace might give manga some time do develop, but i do expect a 2nd season or anime ending |

If you want to see a real hentai borderline anime, you have Kiss x Sis xD nah ty i pass the offer for kiss x siss :P well for me personally code geass is still the best @_@ old but gold If you like HotD like that np for me but if it really stays like this it will be a 7/10 from me in total at best but well we ll see |
LOL free wallpaper / screensaver |

 This is even better. |
| zombie harem @_@ |
| This is a good monday anime =3 The fanservice + action + lol combination can relieve me from the boredom of any normal monday... Nice episode, dad being killed was sad u_u Only problem was that the music for the bike scene didn't fit... |
| So much Tits, Ass, guns, and Blood!!! This is probably the most enjoyable anime I have seen in a long time, it really has everything I would want in an anime, and to keep myself being surprised every week, I AM NOT READING THE MANGA. Still wondering how many episodes it will be though?? 2006: Death Note 2007: TTGL 2008: Code Geas R2 2009: Bakemonogatari HOTD, 2010 Anime of the Year??? |

windridge said: Cats, 34 million years of not giving a fuck lol, so true. I can't believe how the little girl's father died. I mean, they were only seeking shelter, and the guy inside responds by killing the dad. What was the point of even opening the door in the first place? I guess everyone's paranoid and terrified, but it's sad and messed up all the same. Uhh...I could've done without the peeing scene. wtf. |
| Nice episode, Officially adding Saeko as my fav character She is kick ass, bad ass, nice ass, and voice by Miyuki Sawashiro, i don't see any reason to not add her |
 |
| My family probably thinks I'm nuts cus I just spent 20mins yelling at the computer "put some clothes on!". Seriously, like they didn't have time to grab something to wear before going to save Takashi and the girl? I guess I'm surprised that I expected anything more. Anyone notice during the ED credits that there was a picture of a girl (possibly the one they saved) with what looks like the puppy all grown up? Makes me wonder if it was a glimpse into the future. Or I could have misinterpreted what I saw -- probably, since I watched it streamed and the quality is inferior. Anyone with screenshots? (Too lazy to check the thread incase this has been posted already.) |

| The scene where the dad got stabbed was just sad. And I also choked on some of the goldfish I was eating when I saw they stabbed him. I guess everybody gets paranoid. GOD DAMN HIRANO GETS SO MUCH SERVICE. If I was as lucky as him. Can't wait for the next episode, HSoD makes my Monday evenings fun. |

This is the best anime on my list and ive watched ALOT of anime. Only thing is , of course, waiting for the eps, but eh, my mondays turn into fundays with this around, when its done, its back to being.. =( |
| Currently Watching: Durarara!! |
| Woah that was a really awesome episode! especially love when Saeko beats up the zombies, and also the new ending song <3 and the part where Alice wanted to pee was hilarious. |

just rewatched this again and I must admit, is this like the saddest ever or what? dunno if it was to create drama outside of its usual ecchi nature, but it nearly brought a tear to my eye T_T |

smokes said: nice episode... lol anime of the year? give us a break.. its just an ecchi anime... there are tons of this shows out there So what if it's an ecchi anime, Bakemonogatari had ecchi moments and it's the "consensus" anime of the year for 2009, I think anime of the year has a lot to do with viewership, quality, entertainment, and an overall good story, I think HOTD has all of these traits. Why wouldn't it be a contender for anime of the year. C'mon how many great anime come out in 2010....Durarara??? The ending sucked, and I could say that DRRR had the reverse effect of ecchi, which was all the idiotic fangirls drooling over Izaya and Shizou, don't get me wrong I liked DRRR, but I think this is better. Ecchi or not, it has a lot of quality. |
| lol no content, only brainless action and fanservices. Well, need more DITZ NURSE, but less peeing scene. OMG Saeko apron action was too good. alexcampos said: This, what I disagree. Although I love this anime, plot development is basically non-existence, characters are king of cliches, pacing is meh, Takagi's constant whining of 'WE CHANGED TOO MUCH' isn't amusing but overused as hell. It's no where near masterpiece or anime of the year. I'm highly entertained by how you are saying Durarara was worse than this, when HOTD haven't even showed you ending that is bound to get sucked as original ending, or non-ending bait of the second season. reverse effect of ecchi? What is that even mean? Beside, you are calling 'idiotic fangirls', which isn't really judging anime but its fandom.smokes said: nice episode... lol anime of the year? give us a break.. its just an ecchi anime... there are tons of this shows out there So what if it's an ecchi anime, Bakemonogatari had ecchi moments and it's the "consensus" anime of the year for 2009, I think anime of the year has a lot to do with viewership, quality, entertainment, and an overall good story, I think HOTD has all of these traits.

Edited: ... IMO (too prevent fanboyrages.) |

From what I've seen, this is definitely the most talked about anime right now, I also think it's great for many reasons and it's definitely my favorite anime of 2010 so far, however we still have the fall schedule. We need to wait, maybe something comes up in the fall that is better than HOTD, (I doubt it though). All of them easily beats HOTD by its default content, (probably not the gainax one.) but yet to see. HOTD is horrible, but still very entertaining. |
