but he didn't steal anyones girlfriend....Takashi just didn't have the balls to ask Rei out(not that I'm a fan of hers)


That's true~ And Lol @ not being a fan of hers? Was she to realistic on the first episode that she annoyed you~?

Actually, it would be questionable if he was a fan of hers after first episode... just saying.

How come? Marikawa-sensei is badass in her own way from the start! And Alice, oh well she's just 7 years old, don't expect much from her.

Its not that im saying that "dawn of the dead" was a box office success, I was just pointing out similarities and differences from it and hotd.
I realize that people have different opinions and views from movies and I'll accept that.

About the whole ecchiness, I never said it was a good thing I stated why ecchiness was not worse than violence, just pointing out that violence is a bad thing and ecchiness was still bad (a lesser evil you may say). But if certain media didn't have sex and violence then it would be sad right, we should learn to just go with it, violence and sex have been already integrated in modern media and pop culture.


I forgot to mention this in my last post forgive me, but I do agree that sex is a lesser evil. The problem is that this isn't so much the theme of sex as it is fanservice. Basically, what we have is complete sexism. I guess as a bit of a fan of Japanese culture, this is something I should be a little comfortable with, but it still annoys me that people can't see the wrong in it. I mean, theres no problem in liking it (Who am I to say what people can like?) but it still isn't the same thing. Sex as a theme is usually touched upon in the more mature romances as a symbol of love and affection, not as a bit of eye candy.

The thing with sex and violence is a little odd. I've always thought violence is a much worse thing to have shown than a womans boobs. It really is a difficult topic to touch on because of the way it is. None the less, to find every excuse to show a girls pants in a zombie apocalypse is a little creepy.

i've read the manga.....still not a fan....Saeko FTW if you get what I mean

...if anything, she's just a cockblock for takashi now that hisashi isn't around(hence my not being a fan)

And for the others still posting here: Stop posting spoilers of the manga. Some will not read it no matter how you convince them and will just stick to the anime. Let them wait for and watch the next episodes without any idea what's in store for them as I'm sure they'll enjoy it as much as we read about it in the manga :D

I was wrong in how I stated my opinion, causing misunderstanding. I do see how bad sexism is especially for western countries and some asian ones. I can't make my country an example because women here are so innocent that you have to court one girl for over a year to get her to be your girlfriend.

I do think the panty shots is just a teaser or training for when some of the worse things come to light (especially the bus or the bathroom)

It's normal. Girls sometimes change their decisions and behaviors at a lightning fast speed(as far as I know >.<). Considering what recently happened to Hisashi, she's in a serious emotional state. Takashi leaving her just like that made her realize what she said in the spur of the moment was wrong and it's only natural that she does a 180 degree change in behavior. Who would want to be left alone in there...

This anime will get better and better at the later stage....

The anime production really blows me out of the seat when i watch the first episode. IT WAS EPIC!!!!
All the tension,terror and despair is really well-captured and the OP and ED was great too.

The seiyuus cast also did a great job in their voice acting. Animation was top-notch.
Can`t wait for more actions in the 2nd episode where 2 more badass characters join in.

this turned into general HOTD talk instead of episode 1 talk. i think that she didnt do anything wrong. it was komuro's fault. she waited for him for years. and it looks like he wasn't there for her when she repeated the grade? or whatever happened. but she overdid it when she accused komuro of hating hisashi

so far it went by the book or by the manga which is awesome because usually they end up killing it when they turn it into an anime hopefully it stays that way or they manage to make it better. i particularly liked the ending after komuro killed hisashi. All in all this is an epic show that ill really be watching this season

Yaoi.

Allow me to explain.

Both are very commonly the warning signs of a bad anime. While pantsu is often used as an attraction to watch the show to allure people who want little more than fap bait, allowing them to not bother too hard with the plot, yaoi is more likely to revolve around crap character styles and overdone bishie-stylings, having Gary Stus and God Mode Sues everywhere, and being covered in pointy designs and roses.

However, the only shows that can really use fanservice and still work are the ones who aren't taking it seriously (Gurren Lagann, the Negima manga). Yaoi can easily be kept in the background of an otherwise decent show, like Death Note or Saraiya Goyou. It's obviously there, but it's not overbearing. And in Kuroshitsuji, it's pretty obviously there, but you can ignore it. It's unlikely to damage your enjoyment of the show. (Though Grell and the naked dog guy are overdoing it a bit).

Here, the fanservice is just really, really out of place. This is a show that could (mostly) be taken seriously without it, generally makes a good dramatic atmosphere and takes itself seriously, and then for some reason there's panty-shots everywhere. I mean, imagine playing Silent Hill, and Heather's wearing a bikini. It'd just be really fucking distracting and out of place.

Not to mention it just kills what might have been some really good moments. I mean, the scene where those two girls get eaten by zombies. If they had simply cut the BFF crap out of the dialogue, and removed the pointless panty-shot, that scene would have been fucking disturbing. Because they left them in, it was just Narm.

Equip her with katana and i'm playin' this. Distracting and out of place would be that pc mod for Resident Evil 3, where Jill runs and kills zobies wearing only skirt. Oh those square breasts... =3=

Nah, it's not out of place. Combo fanservice x zombies is what makes HotD unique in it's own way. Complaining about it won't change anything beside this thread's page count. So drop it now or bear with it. Cuz' i can't imagine people's bitching after certain bus scene will be show... oh well, at least it'll be fun. ^^
