So who else is excited about the OVA adaption? How many episodes do you all think this series should have? I'm thinking 12 would be fine, 24 might be dragging it out a bit.

It's not confirmed whether it's an OVA or a TV series.

If it's a TV series, then I'm hoping for a 24-episode adaptation. If not, then I'd prefer something like Kara no Kyoukai.

This x ∞.
It's a good manga, and censoring it would only be insulting to the genre. Also, something like this needs some quality animation. I hope it gets picked up by a talented team, maybe something like AIC who did Ga-rei Zero. Something like KyoAni would be asking too much maybe.
EDIT: Actually, now that I really think about it, something like MadHouse would be absolutely perfect.

Totally agree, MadHouse would be really good choice. As for number of episodes, it would propably be 12-15 or 24. I hope (again...) that they wouldn't make 12 ep's with filler ending.

With Madhouse animating this, Araki directing it and Kuroda at the script, I have no doubt now that this will probably be MUCH better than the manga.

Its not like many animes are ever better than the manga. The general rule for any adaptations is the original is always the best.

What can I say about my expectations...loved the Manga, glad to see it will be animated, glad to see the manga continuing. Now on to my expectations.

Well, if they censor anything, then it's already doomed to failure, it's a Zombie Apocalypse style Manga....what else is there but random gore? Sexually deviant things...oh yes the bus orgy I'm talkin' 'bout.

But, seriously, it should remain as brutal and gore-filled as it was in the manga, if not more so. George Romero flicks weren't censored, nothing but flesh tearing, zombie beatin' goodness.

I have a lot of expectations for the VA, hoping the voices suit 'em good enough to be memorable. Cult Hit or what? Maybe it'll be mainstream and we'll see more of this style...(Fingers Crossed.)

When was the last time you've seen an anime without a filler ending? Its been a long ass time for me. I'm expecting a filler ending even though I don't exactly want it. I LOVE highschool of the dead. So much so that I think I'll add it to my tops right about now. But it will most probably be a 12-26 episode or so series. And those usually end in filler. Would it be best if it was a long as a long running series like Bleach or Naruto?

considering the preview shows a zombie falling from the roof and it's head exploding on the pavement....I feel that at the very least there is going to be an uncensored version.

I mean....an exploding head is pretty freaking graphic.

With 24 episodes do you think the production values would be good enough for such an action heavy series? Well I guess it is Madhouse.

Well, they can always cut with cliffhanger or something, wait for more manga material, and make second season. They should get more money for it, so it's profitable.

Yeah I'm betting that is route they'll take.

Anytime someone says HotD I can't help but think of House of the Dead (not the shitty movies, the great games). xD

But yeah, definitely ecchi as hell, so...yeah. I personally very much enjoy that aspect of the manga, but maybe it's just me. The artist for the manga does do porn too, though, so...it's not like it's bad ecchi (for those curious, the artist's doujinshi handle is Inazuma).
