Episode 1 released.http://www.theanimenetwork.com/Anime/Highschool-of-the-Dead/WatchWatch it. Love it. Live it.
>>45601Yeah, kinda why I gave up on the manga.Turned into less about fighting Zombies and more about being a harem anime with Zombies.
>>45606Considering it's done by fucking INAZUMA, I don't know how didn't think there wouldn't be T&A >>45601There's plenty of legitimate complaints you could levy against High School of the Dead without making up misogyny.
>>45615>don't know how didn't think there wouldn'tWhat?
>>45617>don't know how YOU didn't think there wouldn't Is what I would guess it's supposed to say.
It is my firm hope that one day, people will be intelligent enough to figure out the difference between "sex sells" and actual sexism.
>>45622I'd be fine with putting up with the constant jiggling and panty shots if she weren't a A) constantly shrieking B) constantly helpless C) too much of an overemotional dumb cunt to make hard choices. If she weren't a girl you'd agree that she's a horrible human being and a waste of screen time. It isn't sexist because it's sexy, it's sexist because her only purpose is to be a life support system for her tits and get rescued.
>>45623 Wow people don't always respond well to a zombie apocalypse, big fucking shock.She gets better at killing zombies later on after the horrers had a chance to become more familier.
>>45623Not every girl in a zombie apocalypse can be Zoey. Sometimes they have to get over the fact that their classmates are trying to claw open their torsos and eat their organs.
>>45623>Watch one episode>pretend to know the story better than a bunch of people that have read the mangaCool story sis.
>>45624>>45627Fine then, I was wrong. With only the first episode to judge, though, it's pretty hard to deny that it LOOKS like a sexist pile of shit.
>>45628nope.Fan-servicey as HELL (lol applying cream) and it's far from classy but it's not as horrible as you're thinking...unless they decide to change shit because lol Japan
>>45629High School of the Dead is pretty much nothing but tits and violence.And hell, that's alright with me.
>>45628You are the same anon from the Bakuman thread aren't you?
>>45631Nope.
I stopped reading this when it hit the chapter where the teacher was just encouraging kids to have orgies on the bus.I just gave the anime a shot hoping it'd be a bit more bearable on that front, but it's just that turned up to 11. I can't even sort of watch this show seriously when every twelve seconds is just a close up of some random girl's panties as someone narrates about zombies.
>>45633>I stopped reading this when it hit the chapter where the teacher was just encouraging kids to have orgies on the bus. Well now I'm just curious.
>>45639The Teacher brainwashes the kids with zealotry that sex and hedonism will keep them safe from the Zombie horde.
Okay, are there any ass-kicking females that are more than, ya know, ass? I really only would think it's sexist if all the bitches are little more than helpless eye-candy.
>>45647Have you read any of the preceding 19 posts?
>>45647Kinda depends on what you mean, all the main females are lots of ass and tits, but once they get used to zombies everywhere they start kicking ass like any other main characterHaven't read the series in a while but I remember that the girls can kick a serious helping of zombie ass
>>45647>Okay, are there any ass-kicking females that are more than, ya know, ass?ELANOR ALL UP IN DIS BIYATCH!
>>45650I forget her name, but the girl with the kendo still kick more ass than any other characters including the main.
>>45652Yeah, don't remember it much but I liked the time her and the main had to fend off those zombies by themselves.
>>45650Okay then!
>>45647Every main female character except for the nurse and the token loli. And they're excused since the Nurse is...well...a medic, and thus useful in an apocalypse, and the loli is like eight, so obviously she's not going to be killing zombies by the truckload.And if memory serves, the nurse lives with a (female) special forces member, so just by knowing her they get tons more armament than they would've otherwise.But, flawed, premature accusations of sexism aside. Is anyone else amazed at how pretty much the entire main cast of Gurren Lagaan found there way into this?
Watched it this morning and loved it. The character designs are bland and the fanservice is horribly out of place, but goddamn the does the zombie action ever deliver.Definitely going to keep up with this one.
>>45727Watched it myself about a day ago, agreed completely.
>>45726Alright then. Doesn't seem all that sexist to me. I think the other anon just has had bad experiences involving crazy fanservicey nerds. Can't really blame 'em, Japan's gender equality thing is... Still kinda wonky.
So I finally got all caught up on the series. And all I have to say about the recent chapter is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
>>45736The entire world's gender equality thing is still kind of wonky. Remember that Japan is, for all its fault, still a comparatively progressive nation.
>>45715>Next chapter in the August issue, available July 9!Feels good, man.
>>45752Point taken.
>>45727Yeah, that's pretty much the only reason I'm probably going to keep up with it. It's interesting to me to see all the zombie stuff in the background being animated instead of just extras wandering about aimlessly.Like I said, the random fanservice just kind of makes it all super campy is all.
>>45809>zombies>campWho'da thunkit?
I like my cheesecake girls non-annoying. Fan service is always acceptable, and sometimes nice. But combine that with overbearing emotional weakness, drama-queen behavior and uselessness and I will just zone out. They don't have to be *annoying* to boot - that just detracts from the attractive power of their attributes, no?
>>45830 zomg people might not react well to thier entire mundane world going straight to a hell almost biblical!really do you not understand human beings?the human factor and them learning to live in this new world is part of the plot.and someone who can impale a person in the heart and lift them off the ground is hardly useless, she just need to get over the shock and learn that somehow 'they' are now real and requires different tactics.
>>45831It's not that her behavior is implausible.It's annoying!Sorry if I couldn't present my opinions in a non-bothersome way.
>>45830Yeah, all of this. Unless you through in some quick as fuck character development, I will be like "blaaaargh I really hope I won't be a bitch in a zombie apocalypse too">>45831But dude, I realize her behavior isn't impossible, it's just really troublesome for her and everyone around her. Why doesn't see just MAN THE FUCK UP quickly as possible? I'd think I'd see it pretty quick in a show like this.
>>45834If the conversion rate is one episode per chapter then Rei essentially mans the fuck up next ep. Is that fast enough for you guys?Because if not, then maybe you should just stop watching shows in general.
The way I always see it, in situations like this you have three options:Lead, Follow or get out of the way.Anything else is a Fuck up and a Liability and should be discarded at the soonest juncture.
>>45839That is perfect and I am proud of the quick manning.
lol Kota Hirano
I am watching ep. 2 right now.As much as it pains me to say it, I am eagerly expecting the continuation.
I've heard people talking about an 'uncensored' version of each episode, is that real or just nonsense?
I forgot about how awesome Saeko is. maybe I'll try to stick with the series again.

>>46138WHY DID HE NOT BUST OUT THOSE MOVES TO SAVE HER?! HIRANO, YOU FOOL!
>>46138>Chapter is short>No new chapter until SeptemberIs this what it feels like to be a crack addict?
Caught up with the anime.It's pretty decent. Wonder if it'll keep it up.
This anime series is only going to be like 12 episodes or something right? obviously that's not the whole series so how they going to leave off on it?
