Unfortunately, most of Highschool of the Dead can be best described as a VictoriaвЂ™s Secret catalog with pictures of zombies sprinkled in. At points the music is good, while at other moments it feels rather generic and uninspired. That said, most of the music is rather hit or miss. While thereвЂ™s quite a bit of silence given to a lot of the scenes in order to create moods of isolation, the use of remixed rock music is decently done for the action sequences. The audio design in Highschool of the Dead is fairly decent in many regards. Though I have to admit that seeing 5 zombies in one shot, then instantly seeing a concentrated group of 40 appear in the next shot was a bit comical. Even still, I never found myself overly bothered by this as the show still provided plenty of entertainment. Zombies are often duplicated robots made from CG, and when close up they replace them with lifeless still shots (no pun intended). ThatвЂ™s because when the show isnвЂ™t taking extra care in animating crotches and chests, it skimps out on putting money into action scenes and zombie hordes. Though at most points, calling it decent can be giving it too much credit. If one thing can be given Highschool of the Dead, itвЂ™s the decent visual design and decent action throughout the show. Those willing to turn off the critical eye, and just watch it. So while I do critique it here, it probably means very little to anyone that is their target audience. Instead, they seem to own it, and accept it as how they wanted their story told. That said, I donвЂ™t believe the writers are ignorant of this fact.

Almost as if it has some sort of identity crisis, or attempting at being more than what it is. All within the same breath of a boob jiggle or the five hundredth shot of the same girlвЂ™s panties. Serious content matter such as suicide, rape, murder, and even often examines child rape. However the show doesnвЂ™t keep to that, instead vouching to attempt at serious material often enough to create a jarring experience. Filled with over the top and excessive crotch and panty shots that would make any blushing man desensitized. At face value, itвЂ™s a fan service action show. As I mentioned in the introduction, one key thing people warn with this show is, вЂњDonвЂ™t take it seriously.вЂќ Which would be fine if the show knew what it wanted to do. With the praise out-of-the-way, we get into the more in-depth analysis of the show. The gore is good, the action is good, and the presentation leads to some over the top silly entertainment. Keeping that lack of overall plot in mind, the show does well in entertaining for the time that it has you. Throwing different scenarios at the characters and seeing what sticks.

Instead, itвЂ™s a moment to moment action and drama show that focuses on bringing the characters from point A to point B. While Rei is a master of spears, they are also joined by a kendo master named Saeko.ДЄs with most traditional zombie action stories, Highschool of the Dead makes no apologizes for having nothing to really tell. Rather she molds a nearby military gun nut otaku named Kohta to fight for her. Saya, is another childhood friend of Kouta who is a self-proclaimed genius that isnвЂ™t that willing to fight. While escaping their school, they are joined by other students and the school nurse. After facing many dead, flesh-eating students and faculty members, itвЂ™s obvious that the world has become no longerВ fit for the living. So terrifying that Kouta immediately pulls Rei and Hisashi from their class which are still in session.

teacher who then becomes enraged and begins eating the flesh of another teacher. While struggling with this one day, he witnesses a terrifying scene at the gates of his school. His childhood friend Rei, who once promised to marry him, has recently started dating his childhood friend Hisashi. Kouta is having trouble with love issues. Such is the case when I finally attempted to watch Highschool of the Dead for the second time. ItвЂ™s always dangerous when someone tells you, вЂњDonвЂ™t take it seriouslyвЂќ and вЂњI watch this for the plot!вЂќ in a sarcastic manner when referring to a series.
