Review of High School of the Dead
*Everybody who reads this: PLEASE understand that this is my opinion, and even though you might not agree, I have an opinion too, and I would like it to be respected, just how you expect to have your opinion respected. Just because I thought that something was better than you thought or worse than you thought, doesn't mean that I did a "Bad review". If I did a "Bad Review" than I wouldn't have cared to make a review in the firstplace. Also, I can understand if I might have said something that offended you, upset you, or whatever, but I literally can't quite helpthat. I certainly can make a review that deserves "Constructive Criticism", but I certainly don't intend on EVER making a "Bad Review" of anything. Anyway, rant over. Onto another review.
Highschool of the dead was a extremely enjoyable anime, despite having many flaws within it.
The story follows a set of highschool students and the school nurse trying to survive a Zombie Apocalypse. Now, this isn't exactly an original idea of a zombie apocalypse, but within the anime community, as far as I know, its one of the first that actually takes its own twist into the genre, which I found to be very enjoyable. However, there were many plotholes that I could find and the story wasn't exactly "completed", so I was disappointed in that.
The Art was pretty good, especially with the fight scenes, blood and gore, and for the PLOT, if you know what I mean, but other than that, it didn't quite look up to par as I had hoped. The physics engine was an interesting take on how you animate BOOBS! It looked like each breast moved so much with just the smallest movement of the body. It just looked pretty awesome! and hey, since I am a guy, I love boobs, so they win in that department.
For the sound, there wasn't much in terms of awesomeness, except for the opening song, but that was about it. All the other music to the anime was only fulfilling its purpose within the anime.
The characters were pretty good, considering the fact that most of the women in the anime were being exploited for their.... "assets" and body. The most enjoyable main characters were, in order from most enjoyable to the least enjoyable: Saeko Busujima, Takashi Komuro, Kohta Hirano, Rei Miyamoto, Saya Takagi and Shizuka Marikawa. Saeko was just a calm, cool and collective girl, for the most part (Dont want to spoil anything), when it came to fighting. Takashi was much more of a badass than I expected. Kohta was as well, despite him being much less athletic than he should have been. Rei was a bitch at times, when it wasn't appropriate, and looked desperate, but sometimes proved to be more useful than expected and could hold her own. Takagi was just an annoying genius of a character, who just fulfilled her role and had some nice fanservice to boot. (Winky face) Marikawa was just mostly fanservice everything. She had the biggest, bounciest and most squeezable boobs I have seen in awhile, and she did some important stuff, but she overall was freaking useless.
Overall, I enjoyed the hell out of this anime. The greatest part of this anime was the fanservice and the action scenes. my word, it was SO much better than any other aspect in this anime, by far. I would recommend seeing this, just for the fun of it.
