What would your role be?

During a zombie apocalypse you start to see all kinds of generic characters. Such would be the leader, co-leader, fighter, humane character, team spirit character, annoying bitch yet still alive till now, that guy who just winds up as zombie food, aaaand a lot more.

Now what would your role be? Me personally I think, and I hope, that I'll be the co-leader type of character. I'll be that guy you can rely on yet not the person in charge, of course it is my duty to make decisions if the main leader is having a mental breakdown (which I'm sure any one would eventually experience during a zombie apocalypse).

Also during a zombie apocalypse a lot of people gets to show their true colors, I think this is one of the reasons that HOTD is such an interesting series. It shows that dark and ugly side of the human emotions that is usually hidden from society.

I think it is really interesting to see how people are able to adapt at such a drastic situation like a zombie apocalypse.

to the, this can't be real I must be dreaming *dies* reaction












or even the spout utter bullshit because its an apocalypse reaction

Most Memorable Moment?

What's your most memorable moment on HOTD? Any scene that latches to that part of the brain where important knowledge is supposed to be stored. Here's my favorite moments on HOTD both on the anime/OVA and on the manga as well.


Of course one of my favorite scenes is where Takashi, and us viewers too, first met Saeko in a Naked Apron. I can't stress enough how much HOTD has given me a Naked Apron fetish. Also the Takashi rescue scene with the apron and the badassery as well as a really good background music was most certainly epic. The background music btw is called "fuss fuzz" go check it out!

High School of the Dead 8 - Page 13
This scene I really like. Maybe it's just because I also wanna be able to sleep with 2 extremely hot chicks. One in a Naked Apron no less....



I can never get tired of that face, it was my desktop wallpaper for quite some time too. As for the shrine scene I think had a really memorable atmosphere as you wait anxiously for Takashi and Saeko to kiss.



As for the OVA besides the SaekoxTakashi kiss scene I could never get bored to see Hirano getting high, it's just funny as hell. LOVE AND PEACE BITCHES YEAAAAAA~

And that was some of my most memorable moments on HOTD



Things I would have done....

Okay next consecutive post, damn this is tiring.

I'm sure any of you out there have watched a movie or a series and went all "Damn if that was me I would have totally done *insert plot difference here*" well I am no different from any of you. There were some scenes where I was just dying to change but all I could do was imagine in my head how it could have got down.

First of all during the scenes on the roof of their school if I was Takashi, as a gentlemen, after I (as Takashi) have just brutally murdered the remains of what used to be my crush's boyfriend i would have spent a whole lot of time trying to comfort Rei. I would try to convince her that I would be there to protect her whatever happens. Maybe that would avoid the "why cant you be like Hisashi" scene. BUT that may have been the best option to make the plot progress so no actual complaints there.

Second when Takashi and Saeko was on the sand bar in the river I would have definitely praised Saeko more to earn more doki-doki points lol. After that during Saeko's "I'm actually a sick psychopath" speech I would convince her that it doesn't matter and all those "I wouldn't want you to be different than your are now" or "I trust you, together we can move past this" or something more romantic.... I dunno I'm making these consecutive posts in the middle of the night, can't exactly make good examples.

Finally I wouldn't grab Saeko's boob during her encouragement speech... but I guess that's what the author wanted to make it unique lol.

Well that's most of the scenes I would like to change, that i can think of in the moment, and now on to the next post! 

Why You Should Read the Manga

I know a lot of people who enjoy Japanese series only through animes and while there is nothing wrong with that you should also check the manga every now and again.

Especially in HOTD's case, now I was in love with Saeko before the anime even started (hipster alert) and I just think it's a shame for those who only watched the anime and didn't read the manga.

For one thing the manga is much less full of fanservice, don't know if that maybe bad for some of you people lol, but seriously a boob bounce every 2-3 minutes? That's kinda disturbing even for me during the anime. Don't you worry your little heads though because the manga is still ecchi, this is Shouji Satou we're talking about here.

Second the plot is less rushed in the manga, believe it or not i also read HOTD for the plot and I mean the actual story plot. In the manga there are a few difference in scenes like Saeko and Takashi were separated from the group after the escape from Takagi estate. Besides this the conversations between characters are much more detailed and interesting instead of the routine 2 minute boob bounce.

Third regarding the voices of the characters, I personally don't hate the voices in the anime but i think it's much more interesting to imagine what the characters actually sound like. In my imagination Hirano has a deeper and manlier voice for example.

Also in the manga there weren't any crazy shit like the "Saeko Bullet through Cleavage Scene" I mean WTF? Seriously? This just makes the series look pathetic to watch.... But oh well if the producers decided it was okay to put that scene in.....

Last is Saeko in the Naked Apron looks more sexy in the manga to me :3

Now then if you haven't read the manga yet please do so immediately, it is equally and may be more interesting than the anime is.


Seriously WTF anime boob physics!
