Highschool of the Dead has ended “not with a bang but a whimper” – upon its abrupt ending fans immediately decried the lack of the anticipated second season announcement and began speculating as to whether it would come.
Zombie movie fans will immediately note the significance of the shopping mall…
Even with what may very well be “that” kind of ending, the series has still been very positively received from start to finish – a continuation seems an obvious choice.
An OAD (an episode or two packaged with an upcoming manga volume) has been announced for the spring, but this is a separate affair to the main TV adaptation – just whether a full second season will be forthcoming is anyone’s guess at this stage, and fans are certainly guessing about it.
thats lame… i want to see moar main character die dammit… probably going for a Season 2
Huh. I never realized how many people didn’t like this show. I thought it was perfect for a zombie series. Since its based in a world that have existing zombie movies already, it showed that even when confronted with something they all know pretty well, humanity still can’t help itself from screaming and running away.
I enjoyed the hell out of this show, that nuke-launch really got me. I guess its only dissapointing for those who’ve read the manga…
good!
Some people said this anime was scrapped,boring, terrible… When i put this anime right before my resident evil live action movies (not the games)i largely prefer HOD… There are more action, mot characters who not serves only five seconds to disappears finally completely (dead or not) and they have a personnality and more important a background…
Yes, it’s not a Romero movie and it will not be…
Yes, it’s a zombie story (again but not frequently see in the world of anime), it as plenty of fan service, it’s not a complete originality and the characters had their peronnalities taken from others animes but there are no moe, no vegetable people in there…
Iprefer this kind of series because at some exception this summer they had not more than 4 animes interesting (Kuroshitsuji II but as good at the first season, sengoku basara second season, shiki and this)
and animes who contains no fan se’rvice , panty etc are very rare (and not very entertaining too)
It’s not a complete failure… There are worse : Roosario to Vampire anime series for exemple.
Or worst ever : Kanokon.
I’d rather say this is a good series (not the bestseller of the year)but not a s♥♥t if i make a comparison with others series since 2007…
Yes, it’s not a gundam series, a code geass series or death note …
It’s somewhere right in the middle
and yes, i’m for a second season but like other series (shin mazinger shogeki z hen and his cliffhanger in the last episode)there are a possibility, in depise of the well received opinion of this first series, there will be no second season.
An ova based on the side story number two (the first had been adapted in the second episode) of the manga but will be bundle this spring with HOD manga vol 7.
I’m sick of lame critics wishing this were a completely different show. If you guys produced anime, everything would be exactly the same dark gritty bullshit. Pokemon live-action style. This show is fun. It’s not meant to be a Romero zombie anime. It’s about friendship, hot girls and kick-ass adventure. It’s about hormonal high school kids and the fantasy of doing whatever you want. The zombies are there for the fun of killing them.
Just enjoy it. Or turn it off and watch ‘The Walking Dead.’ Maybe that is the story you are looking for.
good riddance
