    This anime is terrible. I don't consider myself an expert in the matters of what is and isn't good anime, but this show was just obnoxious from beginning to end, and I'm totally ignoring the over-the-top sexual innuendo. That's presented pretty quickly just from the cover art, so if you're not expecting it, you're just dumb. My main problems are with the fact that the situations they findThis anime is terrible. I don't consider myself an expert in the matters of what is and isn't good anime, but this show was just obnoxious from beginning to end, and I'm totally ignoring the over-the-top sexual innuendo. That's presented pretty quickly just from the cover art, so if you're not expecting it, you're just dumb. My main problems are with the fact that the situations they find themselves in are pretty ridiculous and the characters are just annoying. I know people praise this show for "deep" characters, but I honestly don't see it. A few sentences about how you were picked on as a kid, miss your parents, or will protect someone no matter what do not make for deep characters.

    I would highly suggest avoiding this one. The animation is pretty darn good, I'll give it that, but pretty wrapping on a crap in a box... well you've heard that metaphor before.    … Expand

    What could have been a half-way decent anime completely misses the point, which is it should be a zombie anime first and a drama second.

    Unfortunately, they completely miss the point with overt amounts of character drama and annoying characters, none of which are likeable. The writers make an attempt at covering up their sad excuse of an anime by dropping plenty of fan service along the    What could have been a half-way decent anime completely misses the point, which is it should be a zombie anime first and a drama second.

    Unfortunately, they completely miss the point with overt amounts of character drama and annoying characters, none of which are likeable. The writers make an attempt at covering up their sad excuse of an anime by dropping plenty of fan service along the way, none of which actually improves the anime unless you are some kind of creep.

    Zombie films, movies, books and comics are all well known for their graphic violence and gore. Don't really expect any of these from Highschool of the Dead. Sure, there's plenty of blood, but there's really no actual depiction of violence, expect plenty of cut-aways and blood splatter, but if you expect to actually see graphic violence, you'd be better served going somewhere else.

    Someone gets bit on the arm? Their sleeve turns read. Someone commits suicide by jumping off a building? All you'll see is a splash of blood. Someone being eaten alive or torn limb from limb? Splashed blood or a cut away with screaming.

    As every episode inched by, I found myself simply more and more annoyed with the cartoon. It's a complete waste of time.    … Expand

    I wanted to watch good hentai-style anime with good story. I was recommended with this title. Well, this certainly isn't hentai and whats even more disappointing there's no good "story". I would be more than satisfied with the amount of erotic content on this if the whole plot wasnt so bland and uninspired. Characters of these show react unnaturaly to the situations theyre in, overallI wanted to watch good hentai-style anime with good story. I was recommended with this title.

After playing Steins;Gate I was devastated by how dumb HSOTD is. 3 in the score is for awesome graphic.… Expand
