I think I'll keep watching to see just how laughably campy it is and how they try just so damn hard to make it look violent when it isn't at all.


If drilling a hole into someone's head is not violent enough for you, then I don't know what is.

But we didn't see the drill or the zombie's head. There was only darkness in that scene with blood splatter.

Hmm, this is one of those anime that's better to be marathoned, instead of watching one episode a week. The crazy excitement I felt for "episode one" wasn't here this time; though it's still entertaining to watch.

You mean it's still censored? What more can they show? or in this case not show and another good episode. Seems like they changed the ending theme this time around. It might be one of those anime's that switch up ending tracks every episode.

The episode aired on ATX which is a satellite channel.

There would be no reason for them to air a censored version.

Didn't watch, is it confirmed that there will be no full HD broadcast? or need to wait for a few weeks? If no Full HD, then there may only be 1080i or 720P in BD

Here comes Shizuka sensei.... boing, boing, boing. I hope they keep doing the sound effects through out the series.
Also, it may just be the second episode, but hands down Saeko is the best. Lets just pray that the animators do not deviate too much from the manga in her character development.

All the actual head-stabs and etc are censored by shadows - like the scene where zombie got his head drilled. ll the wounds inflicted on the redshirts are censored too.

There are three levels of censorship in this show:
- DVD Version - where nothing is censored
- AT-X Version - where only most grotesque things are censored. (you are watching this)
- Common version - where pretty much A LOT is censored by shadows and etc.



ANd I am pretty sure that its significant - they changed the entire Rei's phonecall. My fears of anime-original ending are rising ._.

That's actually a zombie movie tradition in many ways, though I also hear the episodes are censored for television. BUT the off screen kills are a staple of early time in zombie movies.

They really had 'boing boing' sound effects with the nurse? Ay de mi.

Still really campy, but it's better than I thought it would be. I like that the pink-haired girl is trying to establish the science behind the zombie's mannerisms. "Oh, they must be blind, only reacting to sound. Baka baka, you really should--OH SHIT THE ZOMBIE'S ABOUT TO EAT ME I BETTER SHOVE THIS SAW INTO ITS FACE."

Yay.

Amazing animation again :D And Saeko is wiiiiiin~ I love her voice! Hmmm also less fanservice this episode...? Or less noticeable ones? o_o
I don't like Takagi and her geniusness that much >_> she should have done what otaku told her do instead of getting mad for on reason~ Nurse-san is.. bouncy///...ahaha xD The otaku made me laugh when he found out takagi wore glasses.. 'megane..?' (=///=) ... Saeko is definitely my fav character though~~ xD

This isn't highschool of the dead..This is highschool of the UNDEAD..
Anyway, this ep was okay..Nothing really happened, apart from the killing..I hope it becomes more interesting, because just a bunch of teenagers running and smashing the heads of zombies can eventually become tiresome..
Other than that, did anyone notice the fact that previous week the show was rated 9.33 and today it is 8.39??Looks like 2nd episode was a dissapointment compared to the 1st..

First episode was better, indeed. But I still loved the second episode. Great series, I don't know why people think this is overrated. But it's kinda lame of you've rated this a 10 after 1 or 2 episodes.

Finally, i got to see Saeko in action :D
I lol @ how Hirano changed from Maniac to nice person in less than a minute. Also, "Glasses"

Damn...the ED changed.......The old one was better >_>
+ Rei is less of a annoyance in this EP

Overall Score: 5/5 (XD at the sound effects when the nurse moves)

U know, it would've been better if they kept the previous ending song IMO.
The current one doesn't seem very good.

Also, it seems that the title of each episode and manga chapter are the same...so the fourth title will probably be "Running in the Dead"

I hope they include the SoTD reference in the 3rd ep....

Ah Saeeeeekooooo! Looking mighty fine as always. You can already tell she has much more going for her if you notice all the smirks she got in this episode.

Overall good episode. Still going strong. I wish they could've shown more of the broadcast from the TV since it showed just how BIG this whole hell is.

He was blushing all around though. I think he's fallen for her


Yep. He is definitely crushing on her.He was like a cute little chubby puppy in love. ^^ I just hope she changes her attitude. It would be cute if they ended up together at the end of the series.

Needs more S Saeko and less of that teacher. I didn't like her in the manga, and I like her even less in the anime so far.
And oh how so fitting that Hirano share's voice actor with Madrame from Genshiken. ^_^

Somehow watching all this brain smashing has a calming effect.
I'm surprised the Self Defense Forces have not started bombing the place. or at least put a lockdown on the area.

Was it just me or was the ending song a Japanese cover of Radiohead-Karma Police?

I was let down by Coalguys not putting, "Grabbin' pills," when the nurse was grabbin' some meds.

Nothing surprising about this episode but I guess the nurse lives since she's, well, the nurse despite looking fucking useless.

Rei was a little less annoying this time...but there were new annoying characters this episode. Saya is one of them....though I don't really expect her to be that annoying next episode. I do expect the nurse to be annoying though....she looks like she's not going to change anytime soon.

I accidentally got this spoiled from not reading the manga but by someone posting it in clear sight but to my understanding...



And from what I know for all of those thinking the plot is too simple, don't judge yet. Their misguiding you to believe something on purpose.

Yeah, that drill scene was just painfully annoying. The obvious shadowing better prove that we'll be getting that uncensored in the DVD.

This episode was pretty good!

"Protecting man's pride is the style of the real woman!" how cool is that?!

And the fat guy is pretty awesome as well.

Oh and the bit in the news, in the episode's final, that was some disturbing shit as well.

Very positive note so far.
