| Ugh...it's really frustrating to see Hisashi and Rei to be a lover. It's damn annoying that Rei would date with Hisashi!!! It might be better if Takashi would not bother with them anymore... somewhat that Rei remind me of Momose Fubuki (from Grope: Yami no naka no Kotoritachi). Could it be that Hisashi and Rei had actually....? This episode made me think of I should not believe in many things. (e.g. promise, swear and etc) |

| *Takes a deep breath* Ok. Where do I begin?!?! First off, I'd like to say that I love both the opening and ending themes for this anime! (unless it's changed later on in the series). Secondly, I love the animation style. This is my prefered style of animation, so no one can tell me otherwise. Clean, neat, slick, sleek, and beautiful. Just the way I like it. Next would be the story and introduction. Well, I don't usually go on this long for an anime I just started. However, this introductory episode was unbelievably emotional, beautiful, and complex! Just amazing how everything was so guerilla style and choreographed to the tip of pefection. I may be over exaggerating, or flustered. Either way, I absolutely 'LOVED' this episode! All the scenes, dispite it being fiction, felt like the right reactions, in the right ways. Meaning the way everyone reacted to each other and their environment, felt very appropriate. I loved the characters, especially Saya. With her pretty pink hair! (^.^) (-.-) (I can be a sucker whenever I want to!) All in all, I could go on forever, but, to keep it simple. AB-SO-LU-TE-LY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT! ... *exhales* :) |
| OMG this anime is AWESOME so far! its really sad and very bloody! it was so funny yet sad when it came to the best friend part... wow i cant even imagine what i would do if this happen in my skool... but anyway this is REALLY good! i dont see why in anime's they dont say omg they're zombies! they just run around going, "What are they?!" but anyway i can already tell this is an ichii anime... hehe ew XP bat awe well ive seen worse... i cant wait to see the other epis though! and i cant believe that Hisashi guy died already! ee this is so AMAZING!! X3 |
 |
| Pretty epic first ep. Seriously...the animation and action were spectacular. I definitely recommend watching the THORA release. The quality in indescribable. |
     |
| 1st episode and I started to hate Rei. How naive and stupid is she? She didn't believe Takashi but when Hisashi told that they should go in the other part of school she just shouted at Takashi -.- and that annoying things she said... Hisashi is special, he would never turn into "them" OMG I WANTED TO SLAP HER IN THE FACE! I really hoped that Takashi will leave her alone, who is she to tell him that he hated Hisashi, he did what was needed to live. Plot looks awesome. Seems like all the city is now "dead". |
| That was way better than I expected, but I doubt the rest can top it so I'm stopping on a high note. |
   |
| wow I never expected this to actually be good, it was epic! and wtf, this discussion thread has over 1000 posts haha, never seen that before... |
| Why, if that isn't the fastest outbreak, I don't know what is. |
| great plot good for first episode nice op lot of action but lot of fan service too |
 |
| Braaaap! |
| New drinking game guys. every time theres a panty shot or other risqué scene take a sip of your drink. You'll be feeling it by 15 minutes in. You don't even need to take shots! If you did you'd be well on your way before the intro to the series is over haha! love it! |

| Ah! I'd heard reports that this was a bit of a fun action ecchi no-brainer. So far, it's everything I wanted right now! Yeah, well shot, superb animation overall really! I'ma gonna sip my beer and watch another! |
 |
| It could do without the fanservice and still be awesome, I felt it was way to out of place, a panty shot while being jumped by a zombie? |
wintercrush said: It could do without the fanservice and still be awesome, I felt it was way to out of place, a panty shot while being jumped by a zombie? Exactly my sentiments, a lot of fans may think that the fan service is all right, and normally I don't give two shits about it, but it just feels so out of place in the series, with random shots during the middle of the action zooming in on panties.. It really detracts from what good the show has going for it.. |
| Re-watching. Even though I thought it got fucking bad later, episode 1 was awesome both the first and second go. |

| this show was pretty awesome. loving the blood and all of that business. however the amount of panties and bouncing boobies was kind of ridiculous and i know it will only get more outrageous in that department but meh. i'll deal with it unless i really can't stand it after a certain point. xD |
| Handsome Hisashi die in the first episode... oh no. And Rei stays with Takashi - I hope it isn't going to be some stupid romantic side story - meh. I give it chance 'cause I hope there'll be better characters (please, tell me that I'm right) SwanSoup said: wintercrush said: It could do without the fanservice and still be awesome, I felt it was way to out of place, a panty shot while being jumped by a zombie?

| Holy shit that was better than I thought it would be! (I was actually hesitating to start this) And wtf everyone basically died within the first episode... lol |
 |
| Okay. Scary episode. Hope it'll won't get any scarier than this, but i think it will... How did the teacher get out of school then trys to enter the school again? Is it me or is the zombies alittle too disgusting? Episode 1 spoiler alert!: Oops... Hisashi got bitten/killed/zombified... He would make a great main/side character, but it'll be in the way of takashi and the girl. I forgot the girl's name... Its practically half of her fault that rei got bitten and zombified. She should've aimed for that guy's head since the heart doesn't work, if she watches zombie movies/video games, and that guy is obviously a zombie... Hisashi zombiefied part is alittle sad... :( Why did Takashi not throw him down the building? Hisashi WAS BEGGING!!! T.T Well, that girl din't move away when told to and was very stubborn even though it's dangerous... Then Takashi finally decided to kill Hisashi with a bat after Hisashi became zombified... Hisashi begged not to be zombified and get killed before that, but Takashi... Takashi's acting cool by wanting to go smash some heads. Decent episodes, although scenes alittle too gruel and cruel... Well, I'm looking forward to the next episode! PS: Edit- I thought Hisashi was Rei :P I felt that i had to change Rei into Hisashi in my opinions^ And the girl's name is Rei.(<----I dint bother to change Rei) |

| So many comments~ |
| Wow, really impressed with this first episode which felt like a Romero, but almost too many pantyshots, so it's hard to take the material seriously -- zombie movie humor is more quirky usually. Anyhow, it's good to see a production reach this zombie level. ^^ |
 |
| Poor Hisashi...wanted to die as a human...Takashi waited too long. |
| Nice start of this Anime I don't really like the whole zombie concept but this specific anime took my attention! Quite nice let's see how the story will develop! |
 |
| Wow, this was more popular than Sword Art Online. It escalated so fast. |
 |
| Nice slap |
| The amount of fan service...it's literally blinding my eyes. Well, let's see how long I can last... |
EarlCiel said: The amount of fan service...it's literally blinding my eyes. Well, let's see how long I can last... I definitely agree with you lol. The amount of fanservice in just 3 episodes is a bit much. Even in the second episode where Hirano gets smashed in the face by Shizuka's massive tits it's a little hard to take it seriously anymore. Sometimes I'm confused as to whether this is supposed serious or not. |
 |
| this looks like it will be good |
   |
| Woah, too much emotion! |
| WHY RUIN A GREAT PLOT WITH ECHI |
| Awful anime. This anime has so many ecchi and the characters aren't likeable and plus its really overrated. |
Yumna said: Awful anime. This anime has so many ecchi and the characters aren't likeable and plus its really overrated. I'll disagree about the characters not being likeable; and about the ecchi..usually that ruins it for me, like in DxD, but in this case i found it Ok. |
 |
| Rei is so annoying. Hate her already. |
 |
| I really liked how most of the school went into a panic and just started trampling all their friends/classmates to get away. My favorite part was when those two girls were running down the hallway holding hands and one of them got grabbed. I'm sure this makes me a horrible person, but I actually laughed when her supposed *BFF* said *let go bitch* and just kicked her ass down the stairs lmao. But so far I'm really enjoying it, not a huge fan of all the panty shots and bouncing boobs but honestly I hardly noticed it with everything else that was going on. 5/5 |

| I watched the first episode of "High School of the Dead" a few years ago but never bothered to continue even though I enjoyed it a lot at the time. Now that I am finally getting back to starting over again, I have to say that this episode was even better than I remembered. The collapse of order and the eruption of confusion and fear coupled with an impactful death scene at the end made this episode an incredible watch. This first episode has to be one of the strongest starts of any anime next to "Sword Art Online", "Attack on Titan", and "Terror in Resonance" (in chronological order). I wasn't born yesterday, so I obviously know what direction this anime will head in. I hope the rest of the series will be action-packed and be an enjoyable watch all the way through. |
