High School of the Dead

Genre: Action, Drama, Horror, School
Total Episodes: 9 So Far…

Summary: Students at an urban high school are stunned by the sudden outbreak of a zombie attack. Helicopters suspiciously fly overhead, passing over the school with no hesitation, and the town surrounding the campus is in ruins.

Takeshi, Rei, and the rest of the living student body must find a way to fight the undead onslaught and escape to safety.

Review: As you can see from the picture to the left, there are girls. (check!) There are zombies. (check!) And there’s a whole lot of panties and boobs. (CHECK! CHECK! GIGGITY CHECK! GUUUGGGHAHHHHH!)

Aside from the borderline pr0nz, the show is quite intense. I like the absence of any real big superheros or people with special powers. It’s just a group of normal big-boobed girls (and like, two guys) vs. the zombie apocalypse! But really, High School of the Dead will have you on your toes, and most of the episodes are top notch as far as plot movement is concerned — no fillers here.

In all honesty, though the show may seem like it’s ONLY meant as a fan service, it does touch on a few heavier issues. For example, we see what ugly side of society may come forth if people were forced to do whatever it takes to survive. And we see what happens to people when they’re forced to live in a life-or-death lifestyle, where there’s only fighting and running, hiding, and no real sense of safety. It’s not all serious though; it’s just a fun show to watch. But if you keep your eyes open, you might find a few deep thoughts in between all the panty shots!

Be warned, there are a few gory scenes, and tons of blood. But while I don’t think you’ll be traumatized by this show, you might get a boner. Just try not to be a grotesque bitch pig about it.
