Not one of these characters has any more depth than that. The everyman, the ditz, the needy girl, the bitch, the action chick, and the nerd. So let's get to the next reason HotD is an incredibly poor anime - the characters. Of course, no matter how much fanservice is in a show, it would not destroy an otherwise good show. And don't even get me started on the infamous 'Boob Matrix' scene. Any scene that was otherwise good had an irritating tendency to shove some schoolgirl's underwear into the camera. But Highschool of the Dead crosses the line of what an acceptable amount of fanservice would be repeatedly. OK, so considering the demographic the show is aiming for, it's hardly surprising that HotD uses a lot of fanservice.

But let's start with the most glaringly obvious one. So all in all, it really speaks volumes that Highschool of the Dead manages to fuck up such a simple task, for a wide variety of reasons. From here, the plot is about as simple as can be. In other words, they're surrounded by undead, bloodthirsty corpses. More specifically, the series begins in a highschool and revolves aroundĪ bunch of highschool students, who happen to have walked into a George A. it's not very good at it.Īs the name would suggest, Highschool of the Dead involves a highschool and dead things. Highschool of the Dead has quickly entered into the ranks of shows extremely popular, not for being well-written or emotive, but simply for being a barrel of big, dumb fun. It aims to please simple-minded, uniformly male teenagers with base level action and lots and lots of large, jiggling breasts. Highschool of the Dead is a show that knows a very, very base demographic and knows exactly how to pander to it. It fails at being hentai, it fails at being harem, and it doesn't add anything to either genre or any other.

This anime accomplishes virtually nothing. One minute a girl is talking about how she's afraid of her inner, violent, dark side, and the next she's riding on the roof of a van wearing nothing but underwear and an apron while holding a katana. Character development is minimalist to say the least, and every time it tries to make a character even remotely interesting, it's undercut by how silly the whole thing is. To be.The mindless sex and violence, which is what it is, is constantly being undercut by one of the worst harem anime plots I've ever seen. Here is one of those anime that really struggles to understand what its trying In all seriousness, this is one of the worst anime I've ever seen. You could probably replicate it by watching The Walking Dead on mute next to a porn hub playlist. And as far as the plot goes, that about covers it. Here's the plot: In an alternate universe where the average female has breasts the size of grapefruits and all bras are made of wet paper towels, a zombie apocalypse happens. One could review this in a single sentence: 'Why is no one having sex in this hentai anime?'
