I FOUND IT! THE PINNACLE OF ANIME ITSELF! What sells? Gore? Fanservice? Well, why not both? *queue the latino music* Highschool of the Dead is the epitome of the anime community! It's got everything that makes a great anime great, like otaku pandering, boobs, gore, boobs, ass, matrix boobs, guns, tsunderes, and a lot of tits! It's a show that knows its audience and has become stupidly popular as a result, and you know that saying right? If it's popular, then it's good! Highschool of the Dead is popular. Thus, Highschool of the Dead is a fucking masterpiece, correct? First things first, the premise is absolutely amazing! Notonly is it in the most intelligent and least lazy setting (a fucking highschool), but it's also got zombies! So it's basically an extremely dire situation that the characters have to go through? Oh my god, the story has to be really serious then! This story is really serious!

The animation is also great! The zombies are 3D animated, and we all know how advanced Japan is in 3D animation. So there totally won't be any mishaps in the shitty zombie placement or the logic of the art and animation or anything. Especially that slow motion air time! Great pacing!

The characters are also well fleshed out and developed! The relationships between the main character, who is so unique from every anime protagonist out there, and the heroines, who are sooooooooooooo unique, get a lot of development. After all, since it's a zombie apocalypse out there, due to the serious nature of the story, the characters have to think about preserving the human species as their first priority. Thus, the ecchi moments are totally justified. This show has some gripping realism.

The sound is just top notch material, especially the English dub voice acting!
......... sorry I can't even joke about that. I almost died.

Overall, this show is a must watch, and I'm not even joking. It's a must watch since well... it's a good subject to talk about, I guess.

TL;DR: It's like an eHow on how to hook up with girls using zombies.
