**Slight Zombie SPOILERS** The biggest thing that bugged me was that these kids played their hand very smartly for a while, but then out of nowhere this very educated crew starts doing stupid things. There are, however, a few things that chapped my living ass about the show though. It's a 'group of misfits thrown together by a terrible disaster, who must work together to survive' scenario, but it's actually quite fun.

You got that, right? Anyway, it's not just Tokyo that's been bitten by the undead bug though, as we see in different snippets that other countries (well, we mostly just see the US of A's plight) are pretty fucked over too.

Okay, so teens are in angst (surprise!), zombies are attacking and turning people into one of their own in the blink of an eye, and soon a group of students and teachers band together and break free from the confines of their enclosed school in order to try and find their families and loved ones out in the wilds of now bustling Zombie Town, Japan. Seriously, according to this show every Japanese schoolgirl has bigger and jigglier sweater puppies than Dolly Parton in her prime.

This initial attack is brutal, bloody as hell, and filled to the brim with some very interestingly shot panty flashes and bouncing titties. Within an hour, students and teachers are fighting for their lives, trying to save teenage crushes and colleagues, and just attempting to get out of the confined death trap that is the main school building before getting eaten or turned into monsters themselves. From there the infection spreads like the clap through a co-ed Catholic school that doesn't believe in teaching kids about condoms. And I once saw a commie eat the head off a baby too, just like zombies, so the line becomes even more blurred the more you think about it.ДЄnyway, so there's this typical Japanese high school (you know the kind: kids pining for poon-tang they'll never get, ditzy nurses, asshole teachers, brainiacs, nerdy otaku, and kendo club enthusiasts all running around like they own the place), and in the middle of one fine Spring day, from out of nowhere, a zombie bites the fuck out of the gym teacher who's trying to push him away from the main gate. Well, zombies are kind of like mindless commies, so I guess that analogy holds up even better than I first thought. You ever see Red Dawn? Yeah? Wasn't that an awesome movie! Well, instead of the commies turning the world into a shit sandwich - forcing our reluctant teen heroes to rise to the occasion and fight for freedom - well now, in High School of the Dead, we have Japanese high schoolers fighting and killing zombies. Well, before I get into my thoughts on the anime at hand I'll tell you a bit about the plot. At the very least I'd have a shitty zombie show to mock just in time for All Hallow's Eve. I was assured that any problems I had with the zombie genre of entertainment would be offset by the completely gratuitous and absolutely amazing amount of fan service dished out during the whole production.

I was originally planning to skip this series (for the reasons I just told you above), but waaaay too many readers wrote in requesting that I give it a shot. It's with this mentality that I went into High School of the Dead (or as the Japanese write it, ' Highschool of the Dead,' because their horrible English - especially in a show's official title - is funny!). If you could just casually walk around something, I don't consider it a terrifying threat. Yeah, the whole threat of creeping zombies was supposed to be that no matter how slow they were they wouldn't stop until they caught you (like PepГ© Le Pew, as he slowly skips after that terrified female black cat), and there were tons of them but I don't buy it.

First of all, up until the invention of the fast zombie, you had to be an absolute retard to get bitten and eaten by one of the lumbering undead walkers.

I've stated it before and I'll say it again: In general, I am not really a huge fan of the 'zombie genre' of horror movies/TV shows/books.
