Highschool of the Dead [ep 7]

Following the escape from the school using a bus and then abandoning the other evil male teacher, Komuro and the others seek refuge at Shizuka’s friend’s apartment. They soon find out that her friend is not just a normal resident in town, but has to be someone from the elite force when they discover all kinds of weapons in the closet with sufficient ammo. Of course, Hirano, the weaponry genius is in heaven by the time he sees all the guns. I find it amusing that he actually had received training in shooting overseas. I mean, he’s just a highschooler! But that just adds some creativity to the group which consists of kendo student, Saeko, genius – Takagi, school nurse – Shizuka, Hirano, Rei and Korumo himself.

With the apartment, they get to relax for the night and as hentai as this anime goes, we’re bound to get some hot scenes at the bathroom. I guess I have come to grow accustomed to them as I just ignore them and focus on the storyline instead of skimpy clothed girls with bouncing boobs and panty shots. Yes, you get loads of them in this show. If it isn’t for the plot, I wouldn’t have continued watching lol.

This episode brings forth a new character, wait, two actually if you count the little puppy in. Well, a father is seen trying to find a safe place for his daughter as he goes knocking from door to door. But he is ignored and the worst part of all is to watch him getting stabbed by this lunatic man from one of the families who doesn’t want anything to do with him. With him dead, the little girl is all alone and Komuro can’t just stand still and watch her devoured by the zombies. He and Hirano then rescue the girl. Thanks to Hirano’s amazing shooting skillz, Komuro gets to the girl and the puppy before they are hurt.

 The rest of the group get ready to move and meet up with Komuro at the house. With two new members in the group, I hope the little girl can bring a fresh air coz the other girls, seriously…can they please dress properly? Lolz…I mean, the sensei…is she a natural-airhead or what?(look below) Are we having some kind of competition now to see which one dresses the least?

WTH...that's very disturbing to watch...


Hirano's in heaven

Rating: 8/10 - the girl's father is the hero no matter how shortlived he is in it

Highschool of the Dead [ep 1 Preview]

Since all 3 anime that I'm following for the season (Hanasaku, Kamisama & Usagi Drop) has reached their finale, I'm out of stuffs to watch, the same goes for dramas because I'm patiently waiting for subtitles so as not to spoil my understanding.

So I was just browsing around and came across this. At first look, it's definitely gory and I was thinking is this some kind of zombie anime? Well it's exactly that. While I'm not going to post reviews for every single episode - I just thought it'd be nice to post some sort of first impression for the show. It really comes across as a potential movie-tie in actually, because when I was watching, I really felt like watching a movie, instead of just an anime.

The good - It's got enough bloody scenes considering the amazing blood splatter (in every direction and style they can possibly do), swift fighting scenes (still minimal in the first episode but I'm sure better ones will come) and the zombie creatures look menacingly surreal. Suspenseful and thrilling. I do feel the panic and terror the students experience especially the scene when they all just scramble blindly to get out of the school.

The bad - These might come off as plus points for the guys but us girls, pleaaseeee noooo....I'm turned off immediately every time they show us pant shots every single chance they can whenever Rei is around. I mean, what's with Japanese and panty shots anyway? I don't get it. And it's really hard not to notice the bouncing boobs which looks like they're gonna fall off anytime for every female character in this. It's rather disturbing to be honest and distracting especially when they're supposed to be fighting for their lives and we get shots like these, making us forget what's really happening for a moment. Like, "Where were we again?" and then I have to refresh my mind. Best to just ignore if you're not into things like these xD

Despite that, I really like the whole atmosphere of the show. I'm waiting for the girl with this blue-ish or was it purple hair who looks like she's gonna kick some asses with her sword? Well, I will continue simply because I'm curious whether there'll be any survivor out of this mess.
