| Oh, nice one Sankarea. You actually managed to pull yourself up from the shitstain that was the ending of last episode and be good again. It was pretty obvious that the hydrangea was what was allowing Babu to continue moving around normally whilst Rea was suffering from Rigor Mortis and going a little bit crazy, but I'm happy that they managed to resolve that rather than dragging it out too long. I must admit, I'm still rather impressed by the directing in this show. It does try a little too hard to be Bakemonogatari sometimes, but it generally does a great job of keeping even the most mundane of scenes interesting with colour use and camera angles. Hmm... seems next episode is a Wanko episode. I suspect it'll probably add something to the story which is a pity, otherwise I'd just skip it due to how much insufferable hatred I have for her character. Pretty much everything that's happened so far that I haven't liked in this show has involved her and she just seems to come across as an annoying jealous little bitch with no real reason to exist in the show other than unnecessary fanservice. Still, after episode 5's ending I was ready to drop this show if it went in the wrong direction, but luckily it managed to rectify itself enough with this episode and get back to being what I was watching it for. |

Tyrel said: EOTW said: This show has been a pleasant surprise so far, but does anyone know how many episodes this show is going to be or any hints based on the manga? Also, pretty pumped for a wanko ep next week. If its going exactly by the manga it has 28 chapters so far, I'd suspect they do 12 episodes then a season 2. Or 20+ Episodes. highly doubt of a season 2, just by how slow this anime is moving and it would take forever for the manga to go on so maybe in another year or so there could be a season 2 unless the manga start to be coming out weekly |

HSOTD is both the rubbish and the bacon. It's a whole sandwich in itself. It's a delicious well-handled-zombie-apocalypse-situation shaped piece of bacon inside an over-the-top-unnecessary-fanservice shaped piece of rubbish which makes up the bread. Unless of course you're talking about the OVA, in which case the bacon fell on the floor amongst the dirt and you realise that the bread you've been eating is a little bit mouldy after you've already eaten some of it. |

Yes I agree with you. Yes the whole over the fucking top fanservice drag that particular show into the thrash can . And the Ova can go ........I don't even ........ The entire setting is great , zombie taking over the world, students getting weapons/handmade weapons , fight for survival, the ugly side of human nature when they are desperate , etc . But lets just say , Their action:fanservice ratio is a 1:5 , the episode which has the most decent amount of action is the last episode only . its a real let down . Not to mention the major cliffhanger. Garbage is garbage . |
| So as you're laughing at this fool tonight , let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up . |
| slight off tangent here people thinking the fanservice-orientated OVA are canon? waaaaat? when was a special filler OVA ever canon? I just find it funny to see there are still people who don't recognise the parody to the trashy B-horror zombie movies the series is aiming for, and the series hit it right in the head. The over-the-top-ness was why it's so hilarious. The story is not suppose to be taken seriously anyway, not until the future arc hits. Again, different genre. Sankarea is romance/horror, while HotD is action/comedy |
| Yeah, the genre is way different . |

Sankarea is romance/horror, while HotD is action/comedy Indeed that is off tangent, as nobody even mentioned anything about the OVA being canon in any way. It obviously isn't in canon as it doesn't link to anything that happens in the series at all. That doesn't stop it from being one of the worst things I have ever seen. I only mentioned it because it is related in some way to the series via the cast. Despite seeing a whole ton of B-movies in my time (most of them horror, for that matter, as my dad is a huge horror fan and we tended to watch movies pretty much every night throughout my high school years) I recall very few of them being even close to the level of action/fanservice ratio that HSotD achieves. Sure, there was a scene or two throughout an entire film in which the main female lead gets her clothes ripped by a zombie or something and of course the female characters in the cast will wear slutty outfits, but they manage to balance it out with scenes of zombies generally being heavily incompetent or being foiled by simple trickery which makes fun of their braindead nature. Yes, I can agree that HSotD is a parody and as such aims to maximise upon these tropes and blow them out of proportion, but the problem is it seems to mostly focus on the 'slut's gonna slut' tropes of the trashy B-horror movies and spends 80% or so of it's screentime doing that, whilst pulling off a proper serious story in the background once every three episodes or so. If it expanded and over-the-top'd the horror side of things as well as the fanservice side, I'd be fine with it. The problem is the fact that it's parodying the trashy sexual side of things whilst trying to combine it with a well thought out serious horror story. Think of it this way. Take Romero's Night of the Living Dead, a rather serious horror film with a heavy dose of social commentary, and then change 3/4 of the scenes and characters with a parody take on the genre such as oh, lets say, Wasting Away. Whilst both rather enjoyable in their own right, mixing them together just doesn't gel well. You end up with a mismatched clusterfuck which shows hints of genuine quality and intelligence here and there in amongst a barrage of jarring and conflicting scenes. This sounds like a pretty bad idea, right? Well someone obviously decided it was a fantastic idea somewhere, and we ended up with Highschool of the Dead. What makes it even worse is that the anime adaptation managed to take such a piece of source material and put even more emphasis on the fanservice side of things than the original work did, further crippling any sense of intellectual satire that existed in the first place. Maybe the reason why so few people realise it's a parody is because of how far detached it became from what it aimed to be in the first place. Also, since you mentioned it, Sankarea is indeed a romance/horror anime. That is a central reason as to why I don't particularly like the emphasis on fanservice and comedy between the end of episode 5 and the beginning segments of episode 6, especially after how well it pulled off the very romance/horror genre it succeeded at portraying throughout the majority of the first five episodes and the second half of episode 6. |

Christ, you practically explained everything . I commend your dedication,patience, good english and totally agree with you . If there is a rep system, I would rep +1 for your good post, sir. |

| Hooray! It recovered from episode five's shitty cliffhanger! I felt that every second of this episode was spent trying to forget the last two minutes of episode five and the honestly embarrassing scene it thrust upon us. It is quite clear that the production team behind this have a lot of talent, and thankfully it seems we can rely on them to divert attention from events in the source material when it comes down to it, even if they can't actually get away with omitting it entirely - something I wish that they could have done. I felt that the scene where Rea was invited to stay as she sat amongst the hydrangeas was a delightfully composed scene that really encouraged me to keep watching. ...It's a shame we have a Wanko centered episode next time, she is for the most part the embodiment of everything bad about the series. I guess it sounds like I'm blaming a rape victim or something based on what I saw before, but really in this case things would have turned out so differently if she wasn't there. I don't mean that by the show's logic that if she was there Rea wouldn't have had any boobs to motorboat, but that if it was Furuya's sister there instead this whole debacle would not have happened. Wanko is for all intents and purposes, the core of the fanservice in this show. Yes, Rea easily gets her fair share too, but at least that has some viable reason for being there or at least a feeble excuse a lot of the time. Whether it be meaningless upskirts, breasts hanging out of the bathroom window, Wanko has fanservice shoehorned in around her at every turn and if there is no reason for it, then she draws others to cause it, such as Rea's leaping down and tearing her clothes off as though she were a chocolate bar. To me, Wanko is like some horrible queen bee of fanservice, her glistening abdomen brimming with horrid ecchi-larvae just itching to sink nasty little maggotty teeth into the show. I don't like Wanko very much. Could you tell? I was very pleased to say it took more of a creepy direction this time, with the lapping up the blood, the mindless zombie moment and so on. It's very nice to see Sankarea attempting more of this, seeing as it is this, along with the character building of Furuya and Rea that makes this series so watchable, and not the comedy and ecchi (If I'm looking for perversion I'll open my image folder!) jeroz said: slight off tangent here people thinking the fanservice-orientated OVA are canon? waaaaat? when was a special filler OVA ever canon?

LAUGH AT THE PATHETIC MORTALS WHO CANNOT COMPREHEND YOUR SUPERIOR INSIGHT! Who said the OVAs were canon? It's clear they aren't. It isn't a parody; it's a pastiche. Parody is laughing at something, pastiche is laughing with something. Indeed, HSOTD does have a sense of humor with regard to the B-movie thing, but unfortunately thanks to taking itself seriously too much of the time it stops being funny and just turns into the very thing it's laughing along with. Look at it from a comedy angle and the scene with the rapist is a total mood killer. Same goes with the scene where Alice's dad gets shot dead in front of her - that's the polar opposite of funny. From a serious action perspective, there's just too much silliness and too many pervert jokes being thrown around for it to provide any room for the show to be considered with any maturity. This is before we even take into consideration that for the most part in HSotD as a side effect of this INTENSELY WITTY INSIGHT INTO B-MOVIES that we get characters who are nothing more than basic archetypes and that the storylines are dull because in trying so hard to be a B-movie it never does anything original. Of course, Sankarea and Highschool of the Dead are different genres and to compare them side merit by merit, flaw by flaw would be ridiculous, but we can look at them like this: Sankarea is a show that achieves what it aims for. HSotD is a show that not only misses what it tries to do, but fails in a manner so spectacular it could be compared to waking up with a terrible hangover, only to realise that not only you got a tattoo whilst drunk but that it is also plagued with spelling errors and proclaims your undying love for Mars of Destruction and Garzey's Wing. |

If you could remove all those wavy effects from the ending credits, that would be nice - my housemates and I found it kind of frustrating. Still, keep up the good work, I found it quite enjoyable! |

| That was an amazing episode, last week's one was trash imo. She drank some blood, she's a zombie after all. Next episode will probably be pointless when it comes to story, I hope it'll be nice to watch though, because I hated the previous episode. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Yay I'm completely in the minority, but I FREAKIN LOVED HIGHSCHOOL OF THE DEAD In my opinion it was one of the VERY few zombie shows to get it right EVER. And I have seen A LOT of zombie shows. Japanese/American/European/etc... And, Wanko's freakin amazing! The best character of the show ~ You guys all have too much hate energy stored up. You should of just dropped it (HSotD) after the first episode if you hate ecchiservice that much. |

You should of just dropped it (HSotD) after the first episode if you hate ecchiservice that much. Hate energy? The funny thing is that I don't exactly hate Highschool of the Dead. I am up to date with the manga and I find it rather enjoyable. In fact, I am rather sad to see how infrequently it has been updated and I am pining to see what comes next. The problem I have is that it just did not transfer well to an animated format. The manga has its fair share of ecchi, but as a result of it not being animated the reader controls the pace at which they read it. Depending on what you're interested in, you will naturally find yourself focusing more on some parts than others. Once it is transferred to anime however, you lose that option. You will stare at the nurse's breasts for as long as the director determines you will stare at them. To be fair, it is a weakness of the medium that led to it, but I feel that it was directorial problems that meant it failed to cater to the fans as evenly as it could easily have done with a little effort. I didn't drop it after the first episode because I thoroughly enjoyed the source material and even if it wasn't how I wanted it to be I felt that I should at least keep watching to see if it would at some point or another meet my expectations. As for Wanko, each to their own I guess, but for an anime that is supposed to be focused around Rea, I think Wanko gets far too much time and detracts from the tone of the show with her upskirt antics and all that. Again, I don't hate Wanko as a character and I should probably have said that in my previous post, but I think she's a pretty cool cousin character - I wish I had someone like that in my family. However, it is her role in the show that causes issues. As far as character interaction goes, she's great. The problem is that for some reason the writer of the original manga must have determined for some unfathomable reason that wherever she treads, a trail of fanservice must be left in her wake. It's something like a curse, but generally through little fault of her own, as soon as she enters a scene, it is somehow tarnished. I do not have a problem with fanservice, so long as it has a reason for being there. With Rea it does, more often than not. Her clothes got guts on them, so she had to borrow Furuya's t-shirt. That's fair enough. So we get a glance of some Rea underboob. That's cool, it's kinda hot and we are seeing it because Furuya is having to bandage her up so she's lifting her top. That has a good reason to be there and it just so happens to be giving us a little bonus at the same time. With Wanko, look at her scenes. Out of nowhere, the camera decides that what we, the viewers really need to see, is Wanko's panties. I'd say that this would be excused because she's stuck in the pipe, but we are repeatedly shown her frilly undies in multiple shots before then. The same goes with the bath scene. If she is going to talk to her cousin through the window, why does she decide to perch her breasts on the windowsill? The answer is that there is none. I dislike Wanko for no fault of her own, but for what the author has decided she should be used for. |
| Baking anime themed cookies is my jam! |
| Glad to make you laugh Hatman. Anyway, I always have a feeling that Wanko represents the "other option" that's always there. Say what you will about romance between cousins, she IS the other viable romantic options that Chihiro could always go for. The constant signal dropping is just to emphasis the point and to illustrate his dedication towards Rea. Remember that those "fanservice scenes" are all aimed towards Chihiro. There's no doubt that Wanko will not be the victor, but I feel that without her being there the impact of the relationship and Chihiro's dedication will lessen. |

I dislike Wanko for no fault of her own, but for what the author has decided she should be used for. You see, this pretty much explains my problem with Wanko too. Sure, it's not really her as a character that's the problem but what she's used for in show. The problem lies in the fact that the character in itself was created seemingly for the purpose of moodbreaking wacky hijinks and occasional unnecessary fanservice and, at the current stage in the series, doesn't show any better reasons to exist. The aspects of her that are being hated are currently her entire reason for existence. She's got sluttery down to an artform, in herself. Now if she had a reason to exist aside from adding fap material and cockblocking the romance the show is attempting to progress between Furuya and Rea, then maybe it wouldn't be such an issue and I'm hoping that future episodes will at least add something to her character that is worthwhile. If it doesn't follow up on that then she shouldn't even be here in the first place and is a complete waste of animation effort. vampko said: You guys all have too much hate energy stored up. You should of just dropped it (HSotD) after the first episode if you hate ecchiservice that much. Really? Maybe it's true, I do tend to ignore the episode discussions for shows I'm watching unless it does something really special, unexpected or does something to piss me off, such as it did in this case. Still, if you check back to my first comment about this episode it's mostly positive about it managing to bring back the decent quality the first 4 and 3/4 episodes had. Anyway, just because HSotD failed at what it was trying to do certainly doesn't mean it didn't have it's moments of greatness. Some of the scenes were genuinely impressive and a couple of the characters were rather likeable, and that's what got me to watch the entire show. There's really only two things which cause me to actually drop something and that's if what I'm watching is exceedingly dull or lacks any positive merit in my eyes what so ever, something which HSotD didn't meet in either category. Part of the reason why it manages to annoy me to such a level that it does is because of those moments of greatness being drowned out. No point in me continuing here as I've said pretty much everything I intend to on the topic already. Well, aside from the fact that HSotD's OP sequence is delicious. |

| The cat's finally out of the bag for Chihiro. No, not that cat. Fortunately for him, his father is an open-minded person. Saves him a lot of trouble with explanations, reasons and excuses. Mr. Doon Furuya's responses to his son's inexplicable circumstances were quite amusing, though. The hydrangea leaves keep Rea's consciousness working, but what remains though, (no pun intended), is to find an urgent solution to preserve her, even with just a short-term workaround in the meantime. Anyway, I see the adaptation is still doing great. Even the anime-original parts actually make sense and contribute to the show, given that the author is participating in the adaptation process. |
| This episode was really good , anyways i want to know what will happend when Rea drink Chihiro's Blood |
 |
| Chihiro's dad is pretty laidback about this whole affair. A tad convenient for my tastes. Right now the story is pretty stagnant. It took like 2-3 episodes for Rea to settle down at Chihiro's house. I have a feeling they're just dragging things out. |
| So much Ranko in this ep. I'm feeling a little agitated watching Rea lick Furuya's blood, I hope she doesn't develop a liking for it. Or worse yet, blood of a specific individual becomes the cure? At least Rea can openly live with him now. |
| Took a while for her to finally eat the leaves. Ranko gets in the way far too much as usual. |
 |
| Beautiful animation in this episode, well most of the episodes actually. I can't tell if Ranko gets on my nerves or not yet. |
| Wanko is freaking hot, way more interesting than Rea. |
 |
| glad to see that Chihiro can at least delay the rotting and such with the leaves! Like how he's following her around with the camera xD the grandpa is so amusing yet so wise at the same time, really interesting to watch, and its was such a nice scene at the end when the father allowed her to stay :) |
| Jealousy ic? |
 |
| Sanka is becoming more and more macabre :3 |
 |
OMFG ! She's awesome , I fell in love with this character I swear . And damn ! I LOVE JAPAN !  |
 |
| Haha great episode, really enjoyable just to watch and see what they do, lets see what's next... |
 |
| There is nothing sexier than a beautiful woman wearing just a man's shirt. And Rea pulls it off beautifully. Can't really figure out if Chihiro likes Rea for what she is or if he likes Ranko instead. Still no move from the dad huh? When it happens, I expect a change of pace. |
| pretty good so far really enjoying the show. |
| leaf nomnomnnomn |
"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." |
| Yeah, let a zombie lick your wound and taste your blood. No way that's going to backfire and awaken something in her. Maybe he could squeeze the juice out of those leaves and preserve it for using it when the hydrangea plants are out of season. |
| This show is so very different from everything I've seen so far, pretty cool. Seems like Rea awakend her hunger for blood in the last scene O_O |
| I wonder how he didn't realize it earlier that Rea needs to eat the leaves. I think it was kinda obvious since the cat did it too. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Uh Oh! She is loving the blood. |
| I was scared with the ending of last episode that the show could turn into shit and even tough they didn't explain why she lick wanko boobs and kiss furuya for no reason, this episode was good |
| Nice kiss. (that yuri moment was also nice fanservice) |
 |
| I don't get Wanko. or the general thing about her. I just find her feelings really inapproriate considering she's Furuya's cousin. traed said: pretty sure the grandpa is dead and too senile to notice. How else could he eat those leaves and not die? He also constantly mistakes one food for another in the miso soup so he has no sense of taste i bet Finally, somebody else noticed! He was the first to be stuffing his mouth with those leaves. |
| "I'm a middle schooler bartender!" - Mishima Hitomi |
| "I'm going to have videotape every nook and cranny of your body for my research" is not the thing to say to a girl who just escaped from regular sexual abuse which involved photography. Rea just seemed to shrug it off though. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Father was wrong, it was all about a zombie again. Noo, Chihiro won't be able to fully stop the decomposition. Makes me feel especially uneasy after cute episodes like this one, even tho it became kinda kinky again xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Kinda want to skip the next episode coz I’m not interested in Wanko arc at all. Meh!! I want more Chihiro & Rea!! ♡_♡ Really loving Chihiro’s character design so refreshing to look at! |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| is that girl really a cousin? because if so then whats that reaction about Sankarea staying with the boy wth |
No matter who much you regret or wish, if you couldn't do something in life, you can't do it after death, either. - Hanako |
| I knew it, that poisonous leaf is the answer but it never crossed my mind that it's a seasonal plant. Grandpa is always great and when he's normal, it's even better. Reaaa :'( I really don't want to see a sad ending where she actually dies. I really loved Furuya's view on that one scene when Baabu and Rea were eating those leaves. You were freed from your father but damn is it sad to see that she's not a human anymore, eating a leaf so you won't die and not being able to go to school and all that is sad. Surprised to see that Furuya only now realized that Rea's eye color has changed. That ending as well, OMG I'M SCARED!! That OST really did wonders. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| I always wondered, is the grandpa a zombie himself? |
 My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
| damn boy, dont tell me she will actually turn into a zombie?? i hope it would happen but for her to eat her dad first. |
