Well, a few weeks ago I discovered this anime called Highschool Of The Dead. And after watching a few episodes I have to say it is probably the best horror anime I have watched.

The series revolves around a small group of highschoolers who are trying to survive after a zombie infection starts around the Earth. The zombies are referred to as "Them", and are probably the best zombies I have seen in any show or movie. The source of this outbreak is unknown, but it is slowly taking out humans.

The main characters are mostly highschool students, along with their schools nurse and a 7 year old girl. These characters all have their own unique personalities that will make them feel like real people, not just fictitious characters. Fear and sadness can easily be felt from them, showing their true feelings about fighting which some of the characters hate.

The one thing I hate about this series is the amount of fanservice in it. A lot of scenes focus on womans breasts or panties, sometimes trying to bring your focus away from the current scene. This can be good for a few laughs at first but can get annoying real quick. A good example is evening the shows opening, which can be seen here.

Though this is the only problem I have with the show so far. I highly recommend it to anime and zombie fans.

From a rating from A to F, I would give this a B+.

Well, it is good at some times but it kinda overdoes it a bit.

Wow, I just watched episode one, which I downloaded rather than streamed. I hate streaming.

In any case, it's definitely six degrees of awesome.
You're right, there's a LOT of those creative camera angles that show off the panties and boobs. But in spite of that, they still manage to capture the horror of it. And they still manage to characterize the emotions really well.
The music also really stood out. It wasn't something that just filled the atmosphere, you really hear it and go, "Wow, that sounds cool."

So yeah, I'm definitely gonna keep watching.

No, I mean the part where that girls bestfriend is attacked by them and when she is asking for help she gets kicked down a flight of stairs. Or that could be episode 2... Can't remember correctly.

Wait, just re-watched it. It is in episode 1, and it still makes me laugh for some reason XD

So, the first season (Well, hopefully the first season) has ended. And I have to say that I am still in love with this.

Oh that, yeah, that was brutally funny. I'm on Episode 6 right now. Taking it slow. I'm actually enjoying it a lot. The bath scene was weird and... Well, enjoyable, hahah!

You know, you say there's so much emphasis on sex or sexual visuals in it... But... Think about the history of Western horror. Most of the time Jason kills someone, it's in the middle of a sex scene. Maybe it's like... An homage to Western horror?

Japan has been on a pretty hardcore T and A kick lately so...I assume they just like jubblies.

The manga has been around for a bit already so if you wish to be some sort of pirating pirate, you can continue reading about what happens next (it gets worse. Also, more bewbs)

As bad as Tenjou Tenge and Queens Blade? I'm not saying they didn't have their share of large-breasted (or flat-chested even) female fan-service over the years but they're living up to their parodies now.

Well, okay, there's that. (I blame Soul Calibur 4 ninja )
But still. There's still a good amount of 'decent' looking anime that came out recently. I mean, Toradora and Darker than Black are two to mention.
But yeah, frankly, I'm not complaining.
