If you're looking for a complex detailed anime, you're looking in the wrong direction.

I know this is based on only two episodes. However, reading all of the 9s and 10s on this show made me furious. This show is not that great. Period.

What is this show about? It's another cliched apocalyptic world, but here's the twist! It's Ecchi! Wooo. Not.

If reviewers are allow to review and praise this series after one or two episodes, I'm allowed to criticize it. Am I not? So here it goes:

The first episode opens up with an outbreak of the zombie infestation in school and the school is quickly ... turned into chaos. They tell--not show--the viewers how the zombies are killed and what obscure powers the zombies have which, in my opinion, is very condescending. None of the introduced characters in the first episode are very likable. We have a whorish girl who spits out insults at the guy who saved her and We have the guy who saved her: the wannabe baddass.

If the purpose of the anime is to deal with the chaos and primordial catharsis, it seriously hinders the experience by adding all of the ecchi upskirt panty shots and jiggling breasts. If it's to appease the Ecchi fans, why not just go all out and make a hentai?

High School of the Dead tries to shoot the wire between two very different and difficult topic and does not succeed. It is not a horrendous P.O.S. but if you're looking for a High Quality Anime, you're looking in the wrong direction. If you just want to watch half-naked girls beat the crap out of zombies, this is your show.
