Review of High School of the Dead
Two questions. Why is there no sex scenes? Why big boobed bitches only exist in this world? Putting those aside, the story of this anime starts somewhat fine from what I can see... Even though, they used a generic zombie story from the west. Shock and drama went trough as the news of a zombie apocalypse has come so the main protagonist panics, but still able to somewhat succeed because of BOOBS POWER! Ahhhh, the plot of this anime seems to get worse overtime as each episode goes on. More and more unnecessary fanservice goes through the fucking roof. Why is this not an hentai by any chance?The only cool thing about the entire story is the fat guy trying to get to hit that ass. Well, at least there are some good dramatic parts which I considered actually suprising.
Concerning the artwork and sound, it was truly magnificent. Maybe this is one of the few good points of this anime. The animation of the fight scenes was really spot on mixed with the uplifting soundtrack at the background. The landscape artwork is also detailed and high quality. Of course, the zombies included. The only bad thing in my opinion is the character artwork. It is generic and quite overused from other anime.
Now, this is the utter trash about this anime, the characters. Do you expect all of your friends to have big boobs with J cups or something? Do you expect that the main protagonist will not save his friends? Do you think that the fat guy would hit that ass? Of course not, because only the main protagonist will save justice and get all the impossibly busty girls. The awesome power of saving girls is truly wonderful. Putting the main character aside, the fat guy did not even get a kiss or something from the girls even though he is also the one who helped them get through tough times. The character favoritism is strong in this one. Not even the author puts equal treatment to the characters.
Well, personally, I only enjoyed watching this anime because of the zombies and action. I never have seen other zombie themed anime beforehand or maybe it is just hidden somewhere in the shadows. The action is great indeed. The mix of animation and action for killing the zombies is truly a good trait. About fanservice, I am fine with it, but this anime puts fanservice to a disgustingly high level that I don't need anymore explanation to this topic. Just why? This ruins the entire zombie apocalyptic atmosphere.
Thus anime is definitely not for the people who likes action without any fanservice due to the fact that this anime has action in it. You might just creep out and never return ever again. So be careful random person.
In conclusion, this anime lacks overall character consistency and the fanservice just makes the entire zombie plot look like a pile of laughing crap.
