If there is no jiggle, the world will end. Every movement has to have jiggle that puts Dead or Alive to shame. (Don’t you have to be a fan for it to be a service, and who would be a fan of High School of the Dead?) The camera does all it can to focus on the flailing boobs and pantie shots. The ecchi and fan service in general is garbage, even by the standards of a fan service anime. Again, we are meant to take it seriously. It isn’t some running joke that everyone is blind to it either. He’s also – seemingly – the one character to acknowledge the ecchi. He finally has opportunity to put his gun obsession to use when the world goes to hell, relishing in shoving a nail gun up zombie arse. The otaku stands alone as he has some fun and cracks jokes in this borefest of an anime. You need skill on the level of Shaun of the Dead to make this work. And finally, how can anyone take the zombies seriously when they can neither see nor smell people? No one would die to these things. If High School of the Dead understood itself, it would have killed her in the first episode for doing something stupid. The screeching wench, a totally serious character, has the defining trait of yelling at everyone that she is smarter than the rest. It demands that we pay attention to teenage whining about which nobody cares (reason enough to take your own life after listening to them). Rather, the series expects us to take the kendo girl choosing to fight with a wooden training sword for her life, wearing nothing but an apron and panties, as serious. I don’t mean a joke played with a straight face. You see, every other character is taken seriously. He represents a glimpse at what High School of the Dead should have been. Of this group, the otaku is the only passable character. The main group consists of Mr Bland the usual harem protagonist, useless main girl, a kendo girl (obviously), a fat otaku, some screeching wench, and the dumbest nurse alive (perhaps literally, at this point).
It’s a fight for survival as they flee in search of loved ones. What it presents us instead is trash that takes itself too seriously and fails to understand everything about its genre.Ī sudden zombie attack on the high school leaves a group of teenagers and a few staff members as survivors in a society descended into madness.
I watch a trashy anime expecting silly fan service and dumb action against zombies, but all I get is trash? What is this nonsense? High School of the Dead should have made for a great terrible anime that has you laugh at its ludicrousity.
