((PLEASE NOTE HERE; I am not a huge fan of fan service. But, I know for a fact that a lot of people do. Please don't take offense from this, if you are a fan of Ecchi and fan service, good for you! You'll love this anime. I'm not hating the people who enjoy that sort of set up. It's not my thing, but I am fully aware that people enjoy it. I am just making sure you all are aware of this before continuing to read!))
Story: 9/10
The only reason I really rate this higher is because I really love Apocalypse universes. Zombie animes (And I mean like REAL flesh eating zombies. Not like "This is a Zombie?" zombies) are hard to come by. And I enjoyed the amount of action and blood involved in this anime.
Annoyingly, most of this is over shadowed by fan service. Lots, and lots of fan service. Now, a little bit here and there is alright. A lot of anime comes with fan service sprinkled in. But there is so much boob bouncing, pantie shots, seriously unnecessary nudity and the talk of relationships, it throws you off. It's hard to enjoy action scenes when boobs are bouncing in their owners faces half the time.
Art: 10/10
My favorite part of the series is the intense amount of detail that comes with this show. The animation is incredible, even if the characters sometimes go Chibi on your ass. In action sequences especially, it has beautiful movements that make up for all the annoying pantie shots.
Sadly, the characters are very similar when it comes to animation. Besides the male protags....Each of the females have the same thin build, the only REAL difference is their boob size and hair shape/color and eye color. But other than that animation is gorgeous.
Sound: 7/10
Nothing particularly stood out for me sound wise with this series. I did however enjoy the opening. Not at first, but it fits the series when it comes to taking it seriously (As serious you can get with this anime :P).
Any other music during the series wasn't really all that special, but it helped the situation emotionally at times.
Character: 6/10
._.
Most of the time these characters annoyed the hell out of me. Saya especially. They have very annoying attitudes.. The females are supposedly strong fighting female characters. But they complain too much, and while they are badass, half the older girls are bitches who complain most of the time, and the other half barely does anything. (except for Seiko, I approve of her)
The blonde main character acts very dumb, she says in the anime herself that it's part of her character. But they could have done a bit more with her than just having her act stupid and run around with her big boobs ._.. She was still funny, though. I give points for that. Comic relief perhaps?
One thing I do like, however, if Takashi's swearing. One I thing I like is having characters act realistically. Because honestly, if it weren't rated R they would be saying damn and maybe shit. But F bombs were dropped, and I probably would have done the same in the situation.
The male characters were much better than the females. Perhaps if some of them weren't so bitchy, I would like them more .-.
Enjoyment: 8/10
Like I said before I love zombies and end of the world type of plots. So I actually really enjoyed this anime, despite the amount of fan service, and annoying characters.
Over all: 7/10
I will recommend this anime to anyone who is interested in this sort of plot. But I will warn them about the intense nudity with in the series. It's a good anime, and it deserves some attention.
About sub VS dub. (note: I am person who prefers dub. Don't hate, I just started out with dub and I went from there)
the dub isn't bad, the voices fit their characters very well. So honestly it's a tie for me, I'd recommend the dub, but the sub is great too ^^
That's all happy watching!! c:
