Viewers of newly airing “School Apocalypse: Highschool of the Dead” are acclaiming it as “the greatest masterpiece of the season” and “a godly anime” for its unsubtle combination of schoolgirl pantsu and bloody zombie carnage.
The character of the anime can be readily ascertained from the screens below.
The OP:
The blood spattered breasts and panchira:
Blood and pantsu are a winning combination it would seem.
If this is the best anime of the season, I have bad news for you guys. Who watched it will understand what I'm talking about, what a shitty animation. We couldn't expect less from MadHouse, right?
Picky otaku are picky... the animation is nowhere near as bad as last week's Shippuuden. I for one Highly enjoyed it. While I'm not entirely sure if this is an original concept for an anime, it's the first time I've seen zombie-anime action of this level. I love anime and I love zombie movies so this is pretty much a winning combo for me.
Madhouse has done some very, very good work on animation before (Aoi Bungaku and Shigurui for example), so I can't understand what anon01:49 is blabbering on about.
If this one is indeed badly animated it is definitely a drop in quality rather than the expected.
I personally can't understand those "other" anime fans, the past year or two of anime has finally got me watching, and not just for the awesome sexiness.
This anime looks like win. QB, Juudenchan, Quaser, Sekirei, etc have just been awesome for my particular tastebuds.
If you're just looking for awesome entertainment from your anime, and not even have to remove your brain for it, this is the time to be alive. I'd take this entertainment any day over Micheal Bay stuff.
Anime CAN be entertainment too, right? Not just "art" and action and convoluted and/or long-ass storylines?
I don't know, I guess personally, I've always just been a fan of Go Nagai, not Miyazaki and the like. This all stems from what he started, if you ask me. And if you're a real anime fan and don't consider Go Nagai legendary... lol
I've read the manga and it's safe to say it has a hell of a lot of fan service...Not that I'm complaining as long as I see some schoolgirl armpits~
I hope none of those hot anime girls get bitten and turned into zombies...
The last thing we need is titties falling apart and their pantsus smelling like rotten fish with a side of thick, yellowy bodily pus dribbling out of their legs as zombie p*ssy juice...
A Zombie Apocalypse is worse than an Alien, Robot, or Nuclear Apocalypse...
I actually hope they leave a lot of it out. Because it's only 12 episodes and there is A LOT of it in the manga. If they can do it cleverly like Najica Blitz Tactics than I all for it. Doesn't slow down any plot advancement and it ever-present.
Yeah i'm rather concerned how they are going to space out the episodes according to chapters. Theres a solid manga plot that really can't be skipped, so they can't ignore parts of it. I guess i'll have to wait and see.
Dammit, I wanna jump to the apron [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V_fJzJSfnxo/S25hkce2ObI/AAAAAAAABq8/ThAolxUMPo0/s400/saeko2.jpg] and massage [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V_fJzJSfnxo/S6obbhrVkRI/AAAAAAAAB4Q/NdcCar6tgP4/s400/[large][AnimePaper]scans_High-School-of-the-Dead_NeclordX(0.69)__THISRES__154249.jpg] scene already. =D
Madhouse doesn't do fanservice shows too much since they usually do hyperviolent shows (RAINBOW, Shigurui, etc) or arthouse projects (Tatami Galaxy, Kaiba, Casshern SINS), but when they do fanservice anime, they do them great justice like Needless and this show.
Madhouse never holds back with their anime. I love that studio.
This site is inhabited by teenagers masturbating in unison, of course they haven't heard of George Romero, much less anything that was released prior to 10 years ago.
Seeing as the manga began before left 4 dead was released (it might have been in the story board process... I don't know, I don't work for valve) I don't think they stole the idea from left 4 dead so SHUT UP YOU IDIOTS!!
While the zombie concept is not new and the normal anime concepts are not new the combination of them IS. It is refreshing to finally see an anime which successfully portrays a zombie apocalypse setting.
Haters gonna hate though I guess, I'm loving it so far. They adapted the manga far better than I expected even though it is Madhouse. I also fail to understand people bitching about the animation quality. It's a nice style with decent animation. Comparing it to Naruto is an insult to every animator that worked on it.
That, it is.
I'm loving this season.
It's like, there's no bra in the first place.
*tears of joy*
Now, if only the manga would come out of hiatus...
Moe Zombie? Moe Dead? Moe KILL ?!
Japan's answer to american's L4D with added pantsu

This manga was in publication before the concept of the game was even conceived. Not a good comparison regardless.
@ Anon 01:49
Agreed, I watched it and it's definitely not going to be the best this season, was more annoyed watching it then anything else

He is indeed trolling.
GURO?
Madhouse animation isn't bad, it's just very exaggerated.
This show is amazing. The animation is excellent.

Is this why scanlations of the manga have been dry the past year?
supposedly it will soon
The mangaka did promised to continue together with the release of the anime in the last chapter.
Great show. I want Saeko action!

A Zombie Apocalypse is worse than an Alien, Robot, or Nuclear Apocalypse...
Alien = Annihilation/Assimilation/Enslavement/Tentacle Rape...
Robot = Annihilation/Enslavement/Awkward Time Paradox...
Nuclear = Fight for Survival/Thunder Dome...
Zombies = Rotten tits and cunts/Undead lolis/Black Guy dies at the end...
*saves last pic and leaves*
shit man, why you must go on telling me that ;_;
dude. it's hawt. yur just a hater yo

Props on the Thunder Dome. Gotta love good old Max.
I told you it has Boobs and Zombies and nobody listen to me.
Yeah i'm rather concerned how they are going to space out the episodes according to chapters. Theres a solid manga plot that really can't be skipped, so they can't ignore parts of it. I guess i'll have to wait and see.
Wow... that's gonna be hard to beat
Zombies and fanservice.
Can't go wrong.

Judging from your avatar, you gotta love this October [http://myanimelist.net/anime/8769/Ore_no_Imouto_ga_Konna_ni_Kawaii_Wake_ga_Nai] too.
No shit... they're doing that anime this October?!? Yatta!
*Miroku74 marks the month on his calendar*
Wow that actually is a surprising turn of events. I might watch it too.
Madhouse doesn't do fanservice shows too much since they usually do hyperviolent shows (RAINBOW, Shigurui, etc) or arthouse projects (Tatami Galaxy, Kaiba, Casshern SINS), but when they do fanservice anime, they do them great justice like Needless and this show.
Madhouse never holds back with their anime. I love that studio.
LEFT 4 DEAD: THE ANIME
Perfect! Left for dead 3 ( anime Style )
Seriously, whats whit all the L4D stuff? You people never hear of ANY of the films from the "Living Dead" series by George Romero? Zombi?
Stop acting like that game invented everything on the Zombie genre

@Anon 11:15,
Jealous much?
Srsrly? Full of clichés, lame characters, and too much fanservice. The worst of the season so far imo.
Your statement was my thought initially, until I watched the anime itself that is
Read the manga yet?
welcome to the world of anime, douche bag.
No, welcome to the new world of what's considered anime these days. XP
And we have a winner. There's nothing new under the sun, but these guys aren't even making a try at something.
While the zombie concept is not new and the normal anime concepts are not new the combination of them IS. It is refreshing to finally see an anime which successfully portrays a zombie apocalypse setting.

that's it. When you didn't even spend your fucking time to watch them in a proper way
when you combine violance, zombies, and sex you got the ultimate gaijin overrated anime
Extra bouncy boobies
With lovely pear-shaped asses.
Win of "perfect proportions"!
Until Shizuru sensei shows up .. there goes perfect proportions :D
lets hope they keep it at this quality all the way till the end
let's hope they don't go for naruto quality all the way till the end...
lol that episode of Naruto made me pick it up again after 3 years of not watching it xD
Anyways High School of the Dead fucking rocks \m/
same here XD
