February 9, 2013

Hello folks,

     I didn't really watch any shows today since it was my day off from work and I had to got some things done. (for a change)  On days where I don't actually watch any anime, I decided I will review a show that I had finished previous to writing this blog.  It will not be a detailed review, pretty much my opinions after the fact.  Since it might have been some time since I watched it.


      Today I will talk about "High School of the Dead."  This anime is a zombie story where a high school kid and some friends stick together to make it out of the zombie apocalypse.   This was one of the first animes that I watched straight through, meaning one after the other without watching any other shows in between.  i felt the subject matter and story was good.  They didn't seem to change zombie behavior or anything like that.  I liked the opening theme.  The things I didn't like about it was that the only way I could tell the girls apart was by what panties they had on.  This was because there were a lot of fan service shots of the action from a crotch angle.  Episode 6, I remember was a blatant fan service episode and probably my first experience with those.  Couldn't watch that around the kids.  The ending was left up in the air only to find out they were not going to make a season two.  Darn. Oh, I just read there will be a season 2, but no date yet.  I'll just have to wait.  Hopefully Crunchyroll will get that one.
