Review of High School of the Dead

I must say that I very much enjoyed this mindless fanservice and ADHD actions due to the perfect timing that I stumbled on this show when I was stressed, sad, lonely, bored and 12 when it came out. Story: 3/10 Ok, I am a woman that hate most of the harems out there but it doesn't apply that I don't appreciate well-written plot with a harem. HOTD had many situations and elements they could elaborate but instead wasted for fanservice and laziness. Since zombie story sells well but it's a cheap excuse for lazy writing. Especially when fanservice takes more time than the actual plot, weak asszombies and 2-dimensional character setting. I also must admit that this show is great for 3 A.M. when one's brain is not fully functional.

Character: 4/10

As I said if they were not as simple as they were this show could have gotten a bit better ring to it despite the cheap setting and fanservice. I would have given this section a 3 but Saeko was my favorite (I secretly enjoy Saeko's fanservices) and Rei wasn't that bad as a character. Though Takashi just had to be generic... But there'll always be those character that are just there for the sake of being there and small plot-convenient...

Sound: 5/10

Not bad and not remarkable. Not much to comment. It's just mediocre...

Art: 7/10

I won't judge it for the style or the breast size because clearly it was intentional. But yes the size is quite put off while it destroys a character's character.
Anyways the animation was great and the directing was really engage-able. I wouldn't say eye porn like ufotable's fate series but it's good.

Enjoyment: 9/10

I'm going to rewatch this when I want to stay up all night and my brain is practically dead.

Haha, I hope that helps you deciding whether to watch it or not. It's definitely not the worst anime but yeah it's cheap but sells when you're not expecting much.
