Highschool of the Dead

It happened suddenly: The dead began to rise and Japan was thrown into total chaos. As these monsters begin terrorizing a high school, Takashi Kimuro is forced to kill his best friend when he gets bitten and joins the ranks of the walking dead. Vowing to protect Rei Miyamoto, the girlfriend of the man he just executed, they narrowly escape their death trap of a school, only to be greeted with a society that has already fallen.

Soon, Takashi and Rei band together with other students on a journey to find their family members and uncover what caused this overwhelming pandemic. Joining them is Saeko Busujima, the beautiful president of the Kendo Club; Kouta Hirano, an otaku with a fetish for firearms; Saya Takagi, the daughter of an influential politician; and Shizuka Marikawa, their hot school nurse. But will the combined strength of these individuals be enough to conquer this undead apocalypse?

High School of the Dead, often discredited for being an ecchi, offers more of a story than one would expect. To start things off, each of the characters serves a purpose, and the mc isn't the stereotypical nerd we've all come to expect in ecchi. The situations the characters find themselves in, forces them to take drastic measures, and reveal their true intentions, which I really liked. Gore and blood are present of course, but not in a shocking kind of way (take Elfen Lied for example). And the ecchi parts are obvious, but they don't detract from the story due to how interesting the ... characters are. There's even a reference to George Romero movies! When it comes to the negatives, there honestly isn't much I can criticize, apart from the fact literal breasts are used as a firearm stock (is that even safe?).

fan service 10/10!!!! - I LOVE THIS SHOW FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF BOOBIES N SHIT!

average 10 and 2 and you get 5
so i'll go with a 4.

... mixed feelings because recommended if you like porn and not recommended if you want to get invested in something like a story.
so yeah since this is not many words and cant even publish it, i'll just bore you. top 3 goonettes! number one! Busujima, Saeko
coming in number 2 two, Marikawa, Shizuka idk probably and last and least! Miyamoto, Rei i dont like her. yeah i dont like any characters. not any of these characters are relatable, maybe the mc if you have a weird zombie world fantasy.

Not Recommended

I deeply regret ever watching this garbage. Honestly the way it tries to pander to a specific demographic is just offending.
To summarize the plot briefly, it's just a couple teens trying to avoid being eaten while constantly showing breast and nudity every single moment.
The show really tried hard to show nudity, I can't believe this made it to T.V.
The amount of nudity doesn't even go with the plot, it has bad timing, a lot of things don't make sense even within the story.
The series doesn't have any value to teach the audience, nothing to reflect on. The action scenes are so ... bad, I didn't see what was fun about zombies being drop by bullets.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this like the plague.
