I watched the first episode of the anime adaptation of the manga High School of the Dead. It has the potential for greatness, but we’ll have to see if it can reach those heights. And when I say greatness I mean “being lots of fun to watch.”
First off, it’s about zombies. Second, it has gorgeous animation. Third, the characters seem interesting.
The thing that will act as a barrier for the most people, I think, is the character designs and their origin. Just about every girl in the show is massively boobtastic. There’s a reason for this. Reason, not excuse.
The artist, Shouji Satou, is better known as Inazuma, a fairly prolific author of hentai doujin. The cover to the left is one of the few that is safe enough to post here. It’s easy to see in the female characters. They’re walking fantasies – schoolgirls with high stockings, a big-breasted school nurse, a girl with twin ponytails and glasses (not to mention she’s a full-on tsundere stereotype).
So, the show is heavy on fanservice. Now, it seems to subscribe to the Queen’s Blade school of service, where the people in the show aren’t aware of the jiggling and flashing going on. They’re just going about their day killing zombies with baseball bats and wooden swords. That’s enough for me to balance it out, but I know a lot of people will find it off-putting.
I want to go on a tirade here for people disrespecting my wife for liking shows with boobs in them, but I’ll save that for another post.
Anyway, just to make sure this is THE most boobtastic post in the brief history of 60fps.net, here’s a promotional image from the show. Also, I’ve used boobtastic, including that use there, three times. So enjoy!
I guess it makes sense that you’d eventually run out of clothes in a zombie-infested high school. You can only narrowly escape a zombie grab so many times.
