Zombie combat and balloon breasted heroine anime High School of the Dead appears to be maintaining its highly positive reception, and of course its high ero-quotient, even into its third episode, although fans are already starting to wonder whether the series will stretch into several seasons.
"fans are already starting to wonder whether the series will stretch into several seasons."
I asked this question during the Geneon panel at Anime Expo. I wanted to know if they are considering more seasons or if they'll do an original Anime ending to this ongoing Manga. The response was essentially "we'll do more seasons if the viewership is high enough" so yeah, it seems if the series is doing well enough we'll get a season 2 and beyond(and hopefully more if the authors get back to work!).
I wonder if they'll try to handle it like Black Lagoon...hopefully more like that rather than say, Tenjou Tenge.
Am I the only one following this manga and wondering why the government didn't just break out the bulldozers/snow plows and mow all the zombies down??? Instead, they wait and get overrun and use nukes???. Oh well, I guess it's just to show that government is incompetent wherever you go...
Maybe because you've got to squash their melons, to stop them. Maybe because no one can come to terms with what their up against. Maybe because commercial equipment is not designed to provide cover from an attack.
there was this part were the TV was being shown there was a CNN reporter that had huge breasts. Made me think "Why can't the real CNN have a huge breasted reporter".
They're going through almost a chapter an episode with this insanely fast pacing. Unless they end the series at like 12 episodes, it's doomed to turn out VERY badly in that department...
The only thing 10x more dangerous than a zombie is a rapist...Especially the cannibalistic, guro kind who bites off a girl's nipples as he f*cks them...
That guy isn't a cannibal. He just lost his mind after his family turned, and he had to kill them. That bit of background, the "best friends forever" scene and why the little girl had to be rescued, are the reasons why i stopped reading it. Too much brutality. And it's a pity, because it's a good manga.
That one line held much more fail than you could possibly know.
In a doomsday-scenario type series like this, you honestly expect there to not be at least some level of brutality? Everyone's fighting for their life, trying to save loved ones (and above all else, themselves) and you expect there to be "acceptable amounts of brutality" only? Please.
If anything, I would applaude this show for actually being a bit closer to realism than most others. Especially when compared to all the other zombie-related stuff out there. You'd expect this series to just be a dud that wouldn't attract much attention. It'd just be another face in the crowd. But, that's not actually the case.
This series is win. Hands down. No matter how you look at it.
Long ago, they did that to hokuto no ken, in France (plus some other infamous dubbing outrages). The results were appaling/hilarious : some episodes were cut to... about 5 minutes of chaotic montage... all that because the kids morning show picked anime based on popularity not age of intended audience, and "adapted" it...
I have a feeling we will see necrophilia in this one :/
e
I really can't see excellent quality like this spanning past 1 season...but oh the WIN if it does...
oppai shall live forever and not dead.
the only thing dead is teh zombies.
Go go oppai ranger.
I have to say I approve of this zombie apocalypse anime style. If they have the material to go past one season well then I can only dare to dream...
thia nime brought me back, started to think anime was out. but this rocks!
Hell yeah xD haha
Are the Anime Network releases censored too?

takagi is delicious, pink twin tails, glasses and that attitude. I would push her against the wall and jam my eggroll in her pooper
Going by the pace the anime is on, i expect at least 3 seasons and some OVAs. Either that or it'll end with a lackluster cliffhanger ending.
its not that ero. i keep asking my anime society president to show it next semester but it looks like a no, theyre all wusses :(
i think its epic in all cases.

Is that Toma surrounded by a bunch of Mikotos in the lower right corner of image 3?
Boobs + Zombies = my type
It's Boobs and Zombies.
certainly a good combination
I think I went to the wrong link. Can you tell me where the DFC link is?
hell yeah :D
"Enjoy the little things" however, that isn't "little" alright
It'll all be censored anyway :/
I may be biased, but the manga is somehow more personal than the anime.
this episode was not censored.
I have to say i didn't expect blind zombies.
WTF? Touma?
Pretty interesting, a zombie themed show from a perspective where guns are practically nonexistent.
Yet.
Bummer, the unfit should always die. That's why guns ruin everything. D:
there was this part were the TV was being shown there was a CNN reporter that had huge breasts. Made me think "Why can't the real CNN have a huge breasted reporter".
those wasnt CNN .. its CMN.!
I'd like to see some loli reporters for a change. ^_^
have you recently seen news reporters? They're all models.
rule number 73: big breasted chicks always survive
It's a miracle of nature itself. Yes, they tend to be too badass for their own good.
yay ima gonna survive!
dude man boobs don't count....
"Survive" i like how you worded that. Because due to zombies, there wouldn't be any deaths XD
saw that one it probably make a second season I just don't want to see and of the main chracter die
But why only 12 episodes?
Why can't the goodness continue??? D=
only 12?? after reading the manga 12 episodes seems lacking.
Yeah, 12 episodes is too little to make justice to the goodness. Like Kissxsis, High School of the Dead needs to be continued!
Maybe they will do it like Sekirei? More anime in a later date?
Can't wait for the bathroom episode
They're going through almost a chapter an episode with this insanely fast pacing. Unless they end the series at like 12 episodes, it's doomed to turn out VERY badly in that department...
When you realize each chapter is 50+ pages....
12 episodes total=confirmed sadly..
bathroom scene? Forget that I wanna see the orgy on the bus.
i cant wait until they reach the smart girls house and the mall would be nice
capcom knows shit about zombies, this ppl are doing it right
Uhh, both are being done the same way jackass.
Rule #1: Double Tap
Actually Rule #1 is Cardio while Rule #4 is Double Tap.
Dude, that's Rule #2. Rule #1 is Cardio.
*claps once and stops.*
And that's why you double tap, boys and girls
*punctures eye*
Why does the zombie girl in pic 4 turn back into a human after being defeated in pic 5?
@Mikorio
She was getting up. Zombie-style.
*lights suddenly turn off*
*stumbles*
*goes towards the exit*
you mean rule#1 double fap (in this anime) lol
I reckon it's the "(in this anime) lol" that ruined it.
it's good, just badly executed
I usually like stupid puns. But that was just bad.
Thats rule #2.
They're also more juicy and delicious.
gotta keep ur health and speed up for them girlies lol jk
Rufus and Bob would like to disagree. Fat = speed!
Don't worry, Wii fit and Kinect are preparing us for the inevitable Zombie laden apocalypse.
Because they are slower then the not-fat people, so they get eaten by the zombies while the skinnies get away.
Why do we, the fat people always have to die? O_O
Are you guys forgetting the "fat" guy, Kohta, in this very anime?
It's cool guys, just get taken under the wing of "a blackwater instructor for a month", then you can eat all the cheetoes you want!
Then, the fat guy must die
IIRC
Rule #1: Cardio.
@obro
Ditto here...

...Please... Zombie/infected retaled-stuff always has brutality.
And about the rape it reminds me movies like "planeta terror" and "28 days later"... :P
I love zombies and I'm probably one of the few who see the jiggle as a bonus, this series is awesome so far.
I concur with Ikuhisashiku.
Honestly, the artistic way they pulled off the "brutality" was one of the things that kept me so enthralled.
It's called losing it.
Family gets raped, therefore he becomes a killer?
So...family gets killed, therefore become rapist?
ERO BANZAI!
It looks like the are fucking it up by making it TV safe like Tenjo Tenge did. There isnt going to be shit.
i fear you may be right.
