Highschool of the Dead (High School of the Dead)

It happened suddenly: The dead began to rise and Japan was thrown into total chaos. As these monsters begin terrorizing a high school, Takashi Kimuro is forced to kill his best friend when he gets bitten and joins the ranks of the walking dead. Vowing to protect Rei Miyamoto, the girlfriend of the man he just executed, they narrowly escape their death trap of a school, only to be greeted with a society that has already fallen.

Soon, Takashi and Rei band together with other students on a journey to find their family members and uncover what caused this overwhelming pandemic. Joining them is Saeko Busujima, the beautiful president of the Kendo Club; Kouta Hirano, an otaku with a fetish for firearms; Saya Takagi, the daughter of an influential politician; and Shizuka Marikawa, their hot school nurse. But will the combined strength of these individuals be enough to conquer this undead apocalypse?

High School of the Dead is one of those animes that make me question, can an echii appeal also be a masterpiece?

There was something seriously different in Japan during this era of anime that even echii fan service had amazing production value.

The story is about zombies, survival, guns, and fan service, all in an adult gorey showcase. In a way, the echi comedy is really a satire aimed at most high school anime and the action genre as a whole. With big guns, cute girls being eaten, a hot harem trio, and action scenes. This show is anything but boring. In fact, the real ...

I deeply regret ever watching this garbage. Honestly the way it tries to pander to a specific demographic is just offending.

The amount of nudity doesn't even go with the plot, it has bad timing, a lot of things don't make sense even within the story.
The series doesn't have any value to teach the audience, nothing to reflect on. The action scenes are so ...
