The story for Highschool of the Dead is pretty simple. It wasn't good, but it also wasn't bad. It's okay at best. I have to admit that the beginning episodes were actually quite interesting. They managed to keep a somewhat serious tone for a while. As the story went on, it started to focus more on the characters rather than the zombie outbreak happening outside. The fan service became more frequent. I'm personally not against fan service. I like it if it's used for comedic purposes, but if the main focus is to try to get the audience to masturbate... it's kind of annoying.
There was one episode where all the girls were taking a bath and trying to get Takashi's D. The only character actually focusing on the apocalypse during that time would be Kohta.

The was nice, I guess. I don't really criticize a show for being too ugly, but I guess you could say I liked it.
Sound: 5
I didn't like the OP or ED. THe voice acting was okay. The music was nice. It fit some of the scenes.
Character: 3
The character development, as I suspected, was just awful.These types of characters are extremely similar to the ones used in 11eyes. There was only one character I truly liked and it was Kohta. For most of the series, he was Alpha. Saeko was a bit interesting, but I've seen sadists before. Rei is just another childhood friend who is annoying and was in love with the main character's best friend not too long ago, but he doesn't seem to mind. Saya is the rich girl who thinks she's superior to everyone in the group. Shizuka is a dumb blonde nurse with big boobs. Alice.. is just there for the sake of moe or something. Kohta is a gun otaku and is actually useful. Takahi is just a normal guy. He is pretty useless... He also looks a LOT like this guy.. http://myanimelist.net/character/3397/Kazuki_Muto
Every other character is pretty much dead. It's not the best characters, but I guess it's a decent zombie killing team.
Enjoyment: 4
It was enjoyable to an extent. Some episodes were just boring. Some were interesting.
Overall: 4
I have nothing to say other than.. disappointing.
