Random rant

I think the dog seem to be having a supernatural power.Since He can walk through a swarm of zombie undetected.I think the dog has a secret power behind it or maybe the zombie is just deaf or maybe the zombie is just being discrimination.If teh zombie is knowing how to discriminate between dog and human,does that means the zombie has a functional brain as well,but this doesn't really match the experiment done by Takagi in the first episode.Anyway,Maybe becasue of the height of the dog,since the dog is so short,the zombie are unable to attack it.Maybe the human should all crawl on the ground to avoid the zombie =P
Very interesting + confusing......



Zombies don't care about dog meat, apparently.

i think its pretty obvious that the dog being so small, and the zombies going by sound, that he can just escape because they hear something from location X but they can't grab him since they cant process the bend over and grab faster than a dog can run.

So you means as long as if location x continuously project noise.Small live-form will be safe??
Actually the problem is that the zombie has totally zero response to the running dog.I would be convince if at least the zombie would show some response to the dog.

Okay, nvm about the dog.Let talk about the noise.The dog is barking so loud and their attention is drawn to human 0.0; .The only explanation I can assume is that the dog is a zombie as well which act as a beacon to locate human.

Maybe the zombies are unable to pinpoint the exact source of the noise. They're just moving towards its general direction. And the dog being too small, the zombies follow its barking but are unable to understand that they should crouch down to get to it.

Another possible explanation is, that even though the zombies react to any kind of noise, they're only attacking humans. So even though they react to the dog's barking, since it's not a human, in the end they just follow it without harming it.

Unfortunately,They can bend down.Episode3

My question lead to that answer again.Maybe we need some scientist to alter the dna of the human into dog. LOL.
Anyway,the dog is just totally ignore in this episode.

Lol, obvious fanservice episode. Loved Hirano getting excited over the weapons though XD. I thought the first half was pretty good. Police seem to be having a hard time though (no duh), was the officer that killed the mom her husband? Or was he just reminded of his own family?
I still don't like Rei. Ugh. She's just so ... blehhhhh >_<

I was disappointed by this episode, i recently started this series (while ep4 was released) and after i finished all of the current episodes i started reading the manga, after reading ch6 i couldnt wait for it to be animated.

I wanted alot more fanservice and nudity but for the actual episode it was ok

I give it a 3/5

bro...Orochi already said it...

they're different on genres and it's not worth comparing

(neither the producers nor the show..

they're even different on ratings (HOTD R+ and bakemonogatari R - 17+)...

If those criterias were ignored I could say Code Geass and Doraemon are the same (exaggeration)...
You are obviously not able to read things properly, as noteDhero mentioned why Orchi's arguement was totally invalid. He is comparing 'fanservice' of both show, not show themselves. Different genre? Same fuckin fanservices.

So you can compare the fanservice of G-rated and Rx-rated?? The criteria of judging the fanservice of the show includes how it was rated. lol



btw...so Bakemonogatari has "THE SAME" fucking grabbing boobs??

Decent ep..

I skipped around the bath scene. Not because I don't like fanservice, but because it felt silly and awkward to me even if they were drunk as the manga readers say.

Hirano was awesome!

Rei.....I can't make up my mind about her..If they really draw out her psychopathic bitch personality it might make things interesting. Right now she's kinda just annoying.

Not a bad episode, not a huge fan of all the fanservice but won't complain too much about it. Guns, lots and lots of GUNS! Also they should definitely use the Crossbow a lot, being a fairly silent weapon (compared to guns) and extremely lethal could come in handy especially in the situation they are in now.

Were they really drunk according to the manga? Can anyone confirm? I think it's stupid to be drinking with the situation they are in. It's better for them to remain level-headed.

Yes they were drunk, atleast Shizuka and Rei. I dont remember anything about Saeko and the smart girl being drunk though. Of course i might be wrong, someone verify me?

From what the manga shown so far, it's only Rei and Shizuka who confessed to be drunk:


the rest of the chapter has Saeko looking straight like she was in the anime, and Saya looked questionable as she was passed out but probably due to lack of sleep...maybe?

and yeah they're all underage bar shizuka, but I don't think that matters...do you?

'nuff said.

Bearing in mind this was a decent break from the masses of brains,blood
and screaming. Soon, it'll dive straight back into the action. So far in the manga, this is the only Fan-Service dedicated episode if I recall correctly. So I don't see why people find the need to complain about it. O_ O Gotta have something for everyone right?

But you can still compare fanservices, whether rating is different or not. For example of Gurren Lagann, it was originally PG (even with all those Yoko services), only went up to R+ in the movie because of 1 second of nude scene.

Cadaxxx obviously haven't seen TsubasaCat second op, which have almost R+ level,

I'm the same as I usually go back to the manga after a show just to see what I might have missed...it's a pity they went the ikkitousen path instead of something like elfen as this could have been a great anime, but i admit I've had fun since ep 1 and it's turned out as what i'd expect from first time i read the manga

You guys prefer elfen lied type ecchi ? I think elfen lied's level of gore and ecchi is quite high. But the story was still great.

And in my personal opinion, if they put too much ecchiness in HSOTD, it would really take your attention off from the main plot of the story.

although elfen did bring it up a notch in terms of ecchi, it wasn't in your face most of the time compared to HSOTD where its panty shot every 5 minutes(not that I mind)

if HSOTD focused more in its zombie killing and giving us a lot more gore, then I'd rate this show even higher

I have to agree with what you said bakacouple, but I dont know how, they manage to make a real epic anime with the combination of horror,ecchi,action,gore elements.

And I used to tell myself, 'zombies? what a waste of time'.
But this anime really turned out well till im so hooked on it.
Not to mention the badass OST. >:D

I couldn't agree more with you guys
Elfen Lied is the way to do an ecchi/horror anime
instead of shoving basketball sized boobs in your face the whole show, they made it fit in with the story, in a way that's not really making it erotic, but more creepy.
and the HotD OP is one of the best parts about this show.

I started this show completely blind after being coerced to watch it on the spot by a friend. Maybe I'm still not hardened enough an anime fan but this episode made me feel a little uncomfortable to say the least. So far I've loved the show as it portrays what I'd deem to be an accurate portrayal of the deterioration of society in the event of a zombie invasion. I can totally see where the fanservice is coming from (I mean, anyone's bound to lose certain inhibitions in such a situation, right?) but this was supposed to be the toned down version? Yikes!
Is the rest of the anime this fanservice-y or was this episode just a one-off?
