Whelp the nurse is just a dumb pair of boobs and the pink haired chick is an annoying bitch. Honestly I can't see either of them living very long since they're both pretty useless. But I do really like the Kendo chick, shes pretty awesome.

Anyways another good episode, I'm really enjoying this series so far.

the boob sounds are great
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."

Goddamn, the blonde nurse is an idiot. Pink haired megane is pretty shit as well.

So far, if I had to rank the girls:
Black haired > Orange haired > Pink haired > Blonde

You guys keep complaining about the fan service. Am I the only one who didn't pay that much attention to it and focused on the trying to survive part of the episode?

i actually jumped a little when Hirano gave Takagi that death glare.
but it turns out takagi actually is smart. she figured out the zombies have poor sight, react to sound, and feel no pain.

the blond nurse is the only one whos useless up to this point.. laughed when her boob knocked over Hirano.

+cliche: Rei's dad having poor cell connection and being attacked right after finishing his one-way conversation.
+cliche: news coverage of police fighting zombies; camera-man and news anchor are attacked--static.

Nice episode!

I didn't like how Shizuka is such a ditzy. Wake the fuck up there are zombies out there out to kill you and your more concentrating on acting like klutz instead of actually paying attention.

Finally Saeko shows up!!! Wonder why she's not killing though :P

Takagi is such tsundere. Kinda annoying sometimes, but i love Eri Kitamura's voice :)

I thought Hirano look like the Highschool of the dead creator. Also a gun otaku :O

Can't wait for the next episode! More killing please!!

The nurse couldn't remember the name of the student that protected her, and it was played up as comedic despite him essentially being killed at the moment. And that was on top of the bouncing sound effects. Then, there were the moments with Takagi giving Hirano hell, or just being unreasonable in general.

I mean, creating a show that's not meant to be taken seriously is fine, but those parts bothered me.

Also, at the end, we have a repeat performance of someone who is announcing/reporting on the zombie situation, only to be attacked/killed with everything being recorded. This show truly revolves around panic and chaos.

Other than those moments, I can say that Highschool of the Dead is, at this point, everything I expected from random images, videos, and hearsay I've been exposed to over the years. I'm still unsure if that's a good thing or not though.

Not bad I guess, don't really care for the fanservice and the "boing" sounds during Shizuka's intro was a bit weird to me.

Can't expect much less of fan service though.

I loved Hirano (Fat guy) & Takagi (Genius) bickering though lol.

Hirano: I kinda... I hate walking.
Takagi: And that's why your so fat! You need to put down the Walmart Cheetos and exercise!

"Walmart Cheetos" lmao

I don't remember that in the manga. I'm guessing it's a dub translation.

Moving a little to fast, wonder what they will do with this rate and 12 episodes... got together rather quickly for my taste. didnt show so much about what ,and how and so on..but anyway. it just a few "nip picks" i have, other then that is enjoying, even tho its little bit too fast. xD fucking anime/Japan forgot how to prepared for zombies ...

i would probably be like hirano with a nail gun xD man i got hyped on that on!! insane ass fuuck xD
way to much fan service for Shizuka tho. *doing**doing* like wtf xD ooh whale.

This keeps getting better in my opinion I wonder what was the reason for those zombies in the first place It would be pretty unsatisfying if it would end without finding an antidote poor Takashi his parents must be infected by now.

Bruh, shut the fuck up. That ending was annoying as fuck. It wasn't emotional at all, now shut yo bitch ass up, and sit yo bitch ass down.

TV static earrape is epic.

Marikawa is either sociopathic, or the writer can't figure out, logically when she should be ditzy, and when not.

They obviously added the obligatory edgy anime smile after killing, because that doesn't make you look incompetently bad at writing a sadist character. No reveal, or build-up, or good writing, just trash.

The only thing good about this show so far is being even slightly enjoyable somehow, and it's really good action choreography (unironic).

And, of course, Rei romantically likes kamisama MC now, because that makes sense. I mean, gradual, and realistic, or even unrealistic, reasonable development can't possibly be healthy for a story. I'm imagining a board room, and after some discussion of what to do with the story, someone yells, "Just make all the weebs' dicks hard!", and everyone applauses.

Characters are trash, characters are inconsistent, characters are stupid, characters are too light-hearted, tone is inconsistent, and just kill me now. Anime is a mistake, I'm a mistake, you're a mistake for reading this, and my rant is over.

Katana-san aside (Distinguishing Features = Purple Hair + Intelligent + Zen)

Rooting for the dead even more

Rest of the cast: Get It Together Fast Please. 'This Isn't Happening' 'This Isn't Happening' etc was old less than a minute into episode 1.

Genius-girl and the School Armed Combat Champion have hyper alert threat detection but are operating in active contact situations with the enemy (the dead) like they're as thick as maple syrup (With the exception of course of Martial Arts-kun whose death is 100% due to Spear Champion-lass going full Retard.

Genius-chan starts out like a Genius. But it appears she's got to feel like she's in control and she's in command of some one / looking out for some one / has a purpose. (as soon as Young Fat kun who she's dragging around (who serves as a convenient outlet for her to yell at) has a light in his eye and does something creative and independent her control starts to crumble and she starts to crumble and has a total meltdown.

As for our dear MC ugh. Martial Arts-sama asked him to give him a clean end. The smartest character to appear in this anime (alongside Katana-san) but dense-kun ... was just standing there getting a good view of the situation like super dense Nurse-Sensei (How is she alive??????)

With the exception of Creative Young-kun with the staples gun, Sword-lass and another Girl and Guy? we saw a glimpse of. They better stop acting like idiots.

Honestly, based on the scenes we had seen of her I thought Saeko was gonna end up being the typical rude and stoic character that everyone looks up to, but it doesn't seem like that thankfully

I also really like Saya, she's honestly the reason i started watching this
