Highschool of The Dead

Just read Volume 1 of the manga today. One word: WOW. i just can't put it off. Now, I need some zombie-killing games to cool down my head.

Here's the trailer for HoTD anime, coming out this year July, I think.

    It's good to see more zombie anime. >:3 Suddenly, I feel like playing L4D2 for some reason... XD

      Now if only he was an even remotely decent shot, he might be getting head shots...
      Issue 6 of the manga is suppose to be slated for July, about the same time as the anime release.

      Awesome read, but I prefer Saeko~

        Serious girls with swords are always a win, like Mai. I don't like Rei, though. Painfully reminded me of my ex.

    Oh my. Now that is my kind of story. Watching the trailer puts the manga on the top of my "must read" list. The graphics in the anime look outstanding. Can't wait.

      I would say the through Aimpoint on the M14 and after you have finished "business", then look at what is supporting the M14 ;p

    Saw the trailer a few weeks ago. Certainly interested in seeing it. Have a figure from the series, and read a part of the manga online.

      Well, the artist of the series also does doujins under the name Inazuma, or Digital Accel Works, so you kinda expect it to be rather gratuitous~

    Looks good!

    But, I saw more fan service and chatter then zombies. Would of rather had the opposite ^^;;..

        It's definately a fun read. There're a lot of zombie movie plugs here and there(Simon Pegg look alike is found working at a 7-11 in one chapter, although he has absolutely nothing to do with the story, his name tag read sai-mon in kanji). There's plenty of zombie scenes, but it's not purely a run & gun type scenario. For the most part, you'll find them planning lots.

    If not my favourite manga, it's definitely a close second. I've been reading HOTD from the beginning. The manga is just awesome as the author really tells the story so well. Not to mention the drawings are really attractive.

    Worst part for the fans from the beginning was the huge hiatus we had to deal with. It's now on another hiatus after the 60 page chapter effort, but that chapter had one of the best cliffhangers in recent times.

    I can't wait for the anime. I really hope it doesn't deviant from the manga. I have so much hope for this anime I can't express it properly in words. :)

      Yeah. I've been waiting for months, checking from time to time if there's any new content. Hopefully, the anime adaptation will make up for it.

    this only reminds me how eff'd japan would be during a zombie apocoplyse. a an isolated, highly concentrated megalopolis with a strong reliance on technology with almost no firearms what so ever.

    they wont last a week.

      Some Japanese people might have read "The Zombie Survival Guide" by Max Brooks ^_^ Well, if they failed to survive, Japan might be the host of the largest "Thriller" gathering ever on Earth.

    this manga has an amazing storyline, could probably go beyond an anime and make a movie out of this

    One of my favorite manga out there, mostly because it's about zombies LOL XD

    Can't wait for the anime. Judging from the trailer and the manga, I have to prepare myself to get flooded by fanservice!
