Okay the matrix bullets was unrealistic and over the top along with the recoil during the sniper bewbs scene (since recoil on guns is capable of breakings bones) but the epilogue with Takagis mum was epic.


Yeah.. I know its anime but that was over the top completely.. Rei would have been more jacked up than falling off the humvee fullspeed from someone firing a weapon in the prone position over top of her.. One she would have been burnt to hell.. Two.. a couple cracked ribs... and maybe more.. three.. how could you hit any target in the first place lol?! I saw that scene and I was like.. wtfever now we're getting stupid with the fanservice.

I like fan service.. dont get me wrong.. but I mean.. just dont get stupid with it so you can include it.. the saeko matrix upskirt was cool.. but then do it again with her boobs? I dont get the point. To me its like they are almost trying to hard to find creative ways to include fanservice. Just give me some pantsu shots.. some bra/clevage shots.. Im cool lol.. I dont need all the dumb stuff..especially when its way too far fetched.

I found this episode very sad actually. I mean look at Komuro. Yeah the slow motion boobies thing was funny. And yes Hirano was pretty funny in the beginning singing a parody song of row row row your boat with Alice :D

Matrix boobs was awesome, even though it was clearly over-exaggerated. The show could have done without it but meh, it's there now and it was still awesome even if it defies the laws of physics. Rei moaning when Takashi was shooting her gun was also great as well as Saeko drooling. Lots of shooting and action too. Me is happy right now :D

But man, rearranging the order of the chapters and an episode count of 12? There goes for following the manga correctly. Now I have no idea where they will end it. Seems like we're up for a filler ending, which may make people angry but I say to watch and wait what will happen before raging. Though the next episode is one of my favorite chapter. I'm happy that it will be animated but sad that this may not get to the mall arc. Still waiting for the
though ;)

It was obvious that they didn't cross the fence because Rei's back was injured when she was thrown from the Humvee. If you had read the manga, you would know this. As for why they were riding on top of the humvee; the area was clear as far as they could tell so it was probably just for enjoyment.


so its better to get eaten :/ than go through the fence earlier which they did anyway

The main one is the abuse of the word "gun" .. its a freakin weapon.. anyone who's been in the service too Im sure knows how aggrivating this is.. and if you INSIST on calling it a "gun" at least call it by a bit more specific term (shotgun, rifle, etc etc)

Shotgun shells are just that.. shells.. they aren't bullets.. not even close... ammo would have worked too...

Whoa, cowboy. ....Doesn't the average person just call them guns? Therefore it's more realistic to leave it at that. Unless the character is military or a fanatic like Hirano....

Still, they could have paused before plowing through a seething mass of zombies to get everyone inside. Safety issues aside -- flying zombie guts -- not fun.

Remember that firearms are banned in Japan and no one except the military (not even the Police !) has the right to own or use one. Regular Japanese people have no way to know the terminology actually...

AHAHAHAHA! I haven't laughed this hard in a while. That sniping scene was absolutely hilarious. I hope it wasn't trying to be serious because I don't know how anyone can hold a straight face while watching it. Apparently Saeko's boobs can achieve a velocity of around 1300 m/s.

The other thing that's laughable about the scene is the fact how that's the first time Takashi has used a shotgun, and yet he shot it in the direction of a friend. If it had been any other show without the mind numbingly ridiculous fanservice, she would've been dead from friendly fire.

....At this point I'm running on sheer morbid curiosity. From the pissing scene to the Saeko bullet thing, I'm amused by seeing just how low this can go.

People are exaggerating things, I don't think it has gone any lower than any other regular ecchi series. I think the main problem is it was not advertised (atleast at first) being an ecchi series.

I'll have to agree with alwaysbored. They usually manage to pull off crazy stunts, but then they can't even escape that kinda situation. But you can't take things too seriously in the end anyways.

Can we just declare these guys super human now & stop pretending they're normal teenagers? I say they've been cyberized somehow and don't realize it yet. Dodging bullets with your titties is where I draw the line. I bet that little girl probably has psychic powers, too.

As for the fire suits, my guess is that those things are too thick for the zombies to bite through. At least easily.

I can't wait for Sunday's to come. First I get to watch the new HOTD episode, then I sit and read the message boards and laugh my ass off at how serious people take this.

This is an animated show about zombies and yet people are looking for realism?

Just sit back and enjoy the ride for what it is, an ecchi, fan service filled, horror cartoon with obscure references to classic horror/zombie pics.

So was that an incredibly barbed wire fence cause they just made it look very plain, but you know whatever I guess, who cares to notice those minor details when breast are swaying back and forth like leaves.

Still next episode will probably be my favorite since its just Saeko and him, all the other girls are just chest filler in between the scenes. Id like to assume she finally picks a real sword as well.

Now, it's been bothering me, why it seems so difficult to sort out the plot important parts of the show from those that are mealy meant to be enjoyable. As someone already mentioned they did not cross the fence because of Rei’s injury, which seemed quite obvious to me. Now they could probably TRY to move her through the holes with two people doing that, but that’s not a smart decision while being swarmed by zombies. There was no time and people to both carry her and defend the place - plus the boobs would probably make it hard to fit into the gaps in the fence ; )
Now the Matrix-like stuff, recoil reduction boobs, all that jumping and so on is not meant to have anything to do with realism – you might complain about it, but it’s just the way things are. Face it – the action is more intense and entertaining that way.
And speaking more about the episode – I was positively surprised by the amount of slower, more serious scenes, like the moment where Takashi and Rei almost felt like the city hadn’t changed at all, or when the situation looked really bad and I was almost certain that someone is not going to make it. While fast pace is a good thing for HotD it’s good to know they can and want to show a bit more serious side of the show from time to time, with no exaggerations – just plain old mood.

Same here, it wasn't very consistent. From the wire thing (why didn't they all just jump over), to the bullet thing (really? I mean, really?), to the way zombies moved (in a straight line?), to the sound that should be attracting them (since that's how it's supposed to be, why didn't they change direction) or the fact that there were no corpses on the ground...

You know (I guess you don't), there is realism and then there is realism. The difference? One would be something that is actually possible and is not fiction. The other is simply something that makes sense. If, let's say, a gun can hold 5 bullets and then you see the gunman firing 10 in a row without reloading, is that realism or not? No. It doesn't matter if he is shooting at zombies, or if those are magic bullets, there has to be consistency even in the little details, or it gets irritating.

When Komuro was firing Rei's gun, I couldn't help but think that she should be deaf by the end of that. Then I remembered that I just saw Saeko dodge a bullet by having it go between her breasts (was supposed to be intentional on her part?).

Both Rei and Takagi are annoying in this episode. Saeko wakes up next to Takashi... yea, what the hell!?

Fanservice completely ruined some of the action in this episode.

(On another note: someone tell me if Takashi and Rei are together at the end of the series. If so, I will be extremely happy. (Yes, Rei is annoying, but I don't hate the fact that she's with Takashi.))

4/5

(Yea, this episode gets 131 replies in 21 hours!? Yea, I'm losing the aspect of the series hype now.)

that too... (although it might be closer to say no need to know than no way)

I know what a shotgun and a rifle are, but I still call them guns - I think of them as guns. I think it's more important that the language be appropriate to the characters than technically accurate. Look, even people in the forums are referring to them as guns. That's just how people talk :)

OK, but did anyone think that maybe the cable fence was either electric or maybe some sort of razor encrusted line?
If you payed attention, the rescue squad had thick leather gloves and boots when they held open the fence for the kids to get through.

What kind of wires must those be that can be bend with bare hands, but a Humvee can't go though? Besides, if the wire was indeed electrified, which they didn't even check, they never even tried to go over it, they could just climb onto the car and jump over, right?

Ok, i like zombies, manga is great, but I think they're going a bit too far with ecchiness. Which is... I want to say "good", but this is too much :/. I mean, when we can see the whole action in bullet time...

*laugh*

And I though a bath episode was ecchi. I wonder how far can the creators imagination go? We'll see :]

Liked the climat.

That's simple, they were only moving 2 cables by hand and the force was being applied in an up and down direction, where as the Humvee would have hit in a sideways motion over multiple cables.
The question would be, how and with what were the cables anchored with?

I have a feeling that second season will be coming bc look at Black Lagoon, both seasons have 12 episodes and there's a probability that around one to 6 months later we might have that second season. After that house arc, then it's the mall arc.
