The more episodes I see, less and less do I like Takagi. Plus, I really hope Shido gets killed off pretty soon. He's a major asshole after he kicked that student who sprained his ankle in the face and left him for dead AND on the bus he forced his way into being the leader (even though it was a majority vote, I still really don't like him.) Is it just me, or is this storyline sluggishly moving along? Hopefully it starts picking up soon.

Only my anime list forums would complain that an anime doesn't have enough violence yet it has too much fanservice. It's like: "Damn it, I want people killing people in cold blood and gore, but i can't stand something as normal as a woman's body"

The teacher is kind of a dick, but honestly hes just being realistic. That kid who sprained his leg would have just slowed them down. In a ZA you really can't afford to carry around dead weight, more often then not they just end up getting others killed.

It's not plausible to be realistic in an unrealistic situation. You cannot prove that that guy COULD NOT have possibly helped only because he had a sprained ankle.

that bus explosion
"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."

Amazing episode again! Why nobody punched that teacher. They saved him so why are they allowing him take the lead?

Somehow Rei seemed less selfish than she was in the first episode.

new characters appear!

+cliche: new character is a clumsy fuck and makes a loud sound thus attracting every zombie.
+cliche: other new characters used a pawns.

o look another batch of new characters that will probably be used as zombie bait later. and their heartless teacher lmao. left that guy to die because of a sprained ankle. aand he instantly usurps power as the self proclaimed leader.

enter: flaming zombies; about time.

+cliche: main characters get separated from group; unnecessary explosion.

Great episode!

That asshole teacher. I wonder why no one reacted when he just left that sprained kid to be eaten!?!

Rei doesn't seem to like him. He may try ti deceive the students in future episodes.

I love how when the bus blew up in flames when Rei and Takashi were on the other side of the road. It reminded me of Resident Evil 2 with Claire and Leaon bein saperated like that :D

The stupid brat should have been left off the bus. Be glad Takashi saved you punks. Lol i do agree the new students will probably be used as baits in future episodes.

Can't wait for the next episode!

Did this show really need a character like that teacher? I like parts of this show where they're either fighting, surviving, or trying to figure out their course of action. In other words, the parts where they're not lollygagging, bickering, or getting distracted from the issue at hand: the zombies themselves. It seems like the show is trying to complicate things unnecessarily. I mean, were the flesh-eating monsters not a significant enough threat that it needed a human villain-like character on top of it? I understand he has significance to Rei's character, and it's amusing to see the students behind him clapping like trained monkeys, but...really?

Still, I'm surprised at Highschool of the Dead. It manages to combine so many things I dislike in anime, yet I'm still entertained to a degree.

All in all, a pretty boring episode. The action was obsolete, the character development was pitiful and i saw no real significant development within the story's plot. One thing it did succeed in however, was its ability to clarify my speculations of it's reliance on sexual intent. Yes, fan service, when used appropriately can be amusing, but unfortunately High School of the Dead seems to believe that it's ubiquitous use of big watermelon tits, planted left right and center will alleviate the viewers rebuke induced by the shows dreadful story line. Sadly they concluded wrong. Very wrong.

Overall, a highly disappointing episode. Even so, i'll continue to watch with the hopes of action and gore playing a bigger part instead of it's current reliance on ephemeral fighting scenes. Also, dear God i hope they ax that teacher - do we really need a new antagonist when there's a whole torrent of zombies there to be used. Talk about over complicating things...

This shows seems to really lack consistency in terms of tone. The drama is quite inappropriate for a show all about blood and boobs such as this one.

Another okay episode I guess.

But is it just me or did the flaming zombies have some rhythm? (The sound of the flames)

https://youtu.be/57jX023e430?t=18m57s

For some reason it sounded (briefly) like "We will rock you" to me. Kinda weirded me out lol.

That flame wall reminded me so much of Resident Evil 2. I'm pretty sure they also decided to meet at the police station in the game. :o

Anyway, some cool characters. The teacher dude seems like a major creep. He's not going to die for a while. He'll be the dude we'll all learn to hate. XD

Oh, Rei, couldn't you be anymore annoying like what the fuck? Someone get rid of her already. If Takashi's gonna be blind about her stupidity then fucking get rid of him, too. Lmfao. She's so fucking annoying.

This was a slow episode. I almost dozed off while watching it, but Busujima woke me up with her beaut. Haha.

It was a good episode and what the fuck is up with that professor, maaan. Forgodsake.

Great episode with lots of action and tension.

Their group is getting larger. I don't like this guy with glasses who is a teacher and wanted to be chosen as a leader so much. He has an evil aura surrounding him, lol.

Main characters got away from the bus, but found a motorcycle.

Preview showed some bad news: that people are already looking their minds and world is not dragged directly into chaos, but in fact it was already dragged into it.

Lol how insane is that they were talking about the outbreak. If taken out of context it would seem like they were talking about corona. You know before the pandemic I would’ve have rolled my eyes at how the people who were saved were acting like assholes but knowing what I know now about the world, it doesn’t seem far fetched at all.

i wonder why the zombies have no senses but hearing, realistically it's probably just to fill plot holes from the first two episodes (i noticed alot of scenes where zombies just ignored people, those are obviously explained now), but I wonder if there's an actual story reason for it.

Also, I can see why Rei hates that teacher dude- massive asshole, but how does Rei know? Did she have some sort of bad past experience with him?

They are a pretty good team without those cannon fodders. And Rei should already say to her team what's her problem with that guy, instead of holding back and tries to let her teammates interpret what she means.

There's really that kind of people in the middle of a crisis that will do anything on his power, to do what he want and stand at the top. Ngl. This kind of troupes in anime makes my blood boil, It's not that I hate it. It's just it sometimes happens Irl, and some people acting on their naivety and didn't even try to read the room or think about a few step ahead.

One look on that teacher, you'll already know that he's a filthy scum. That kind of people is deserving of painful and brutal death, that befitting for their actions.

Takashi and Rei shouldn't have left that bus, but the motorcycle scene was nice and builds on their relationship dynamic.
