I must admit that I am conflicted whether to rate "High School of the Dead" an 8 or a 7. And trust me, there are just that in wait. Being a Manga, you will, of course, be in for some outrageous turns and twists in the storyline. And in the midst of this chaotic outbreak is a small group of unlikely survivors who teams up and have to struggle to stay alive in a world gone to Hell.
There is an outbreak of something causing dead people to rise up, look for living people to bite and devour, and they in turn rise as zombies as well, spreading the infection.
The story is pretty much as in most other zombie movies. Now having seen the 12 episodes on the DVD, I can say that I am honestly very glad that I did buy this DVD, because "High School of the Dead" was awesome. And I like both, especially zombies, so I was very excited to see this series. When I learned about this title on Amazon, I just had to get it in my collection, so I did order it and sat through it almost immediately as it arrived. These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles. The ending did feel somewhat sudden more like the end of the season than the grand finale I was certainly left wanting more. The fan service was a bit excessive though some times the large bouncing breasts and regular views of the girls undies were a bit of a distraction! I liked the character designs and for the most part the animation was great although it did resort to a 'wobbly cam' shot of a still image to indicate frenetic action more than once. I really enjoyed this series the characters were pretty good and there was plenty of action much of it quite bloody.
This series may have less nudity than 'Elfen Lied' and less panty shots than 'Najica Blitz Tactics' but it is still most definitely ecchi! The story follows protagonist Takashi Komuro and a group of fellow high school students as they struggle to survive in a plague of zombies luckily their number includes Saeko, female president of the kendo club and Kohta, a boy with a passion for firearms! As they try to get through the city to find their families they not only have frequent confrontations with the zombies but must also deal with ordinary people who are taking advantage of the situation.
