PostSubject: Highschool of the Dead   Tue Dec 30, 2008 8:54 pm

plane and simple, this is Zombies done right
just imagine resident evil 2 apocalypse if it were actually good (which it wasn't..not by along shot)...and you'll get the gist of this series

this series (in my opinion) shows how people are trying to survive when (if i'm correct) the whole freakin world is being overrun by zombies. the people in the story aren't all goody goody let's go save the world, they are highschool kids that want to survive, they do want to help people if possible..but if someone is a threat they are willing to put them down.

action- lots
violence-a LOT...every chapter has someone dead or dying or torn up or something
nudity-...i think?...can't really remember
characters-nice and kind of realistic in my opinion
story-good for such an old concept
laughs-surprisingly there are some laughs for it to be such a gory series

Mangafox says..

A mysterious, lethal disease is on the loose worldwide, resulting in a catastrophic death rate of humanity, and the increasing rise of attacks, caused by the living dead.

In Japan, several high school students and a school nurse have banded together to escape Fujimi High School shortly after it was attacked by zombies. The group now attempts to figure who or what was responsible for this plague, and in the meantime, attempt to survive the present apocalypse.

Yeah I actually read a bit of this and It was great. I lov zombie series done right !

I mean the terrible resident evil moves which only the first one being any good at all sort of brought down the standard but luckily the games are still going strong aside from spin offs.

Well the cg one degeneration wasn't that bad.

But it still had the sa flaws as the residen't evil live action movies..

Where the heck were the actual zombies. one action seen with zombies in the third one..I mean c'mon It's a zombie series don't get so overwhelmed with terrible character backstorys and kill some zombies.

even when they are in the movies there rarely hard to kill.

haven't seen it, but it looked like it would be ok...(it was the ONLY good part of the resident evil extinction movie)


that was always dumb..1 freakin person wipes out an army of zombies with sloppy kicks and punches...and she never even get's touched...the heck is she..GOD o.0??

even nemesis was garbage in the movie...he just sucked..wait..that movie just sucked

Yeah.. I aggree. the only reason i went to see it is because of nemises and he gets beaten by a punch into a small spike..and then goes good.

XP LAme . big ass super zombie with a chain saw vs skinny women only in the series to make horny men watch. XPIn my mind she should have got her butt kicked.

Good manga, I'm currently caught up with it though I haven't read in a while so character names elude me. I love the crazy gleam in the chubby otaku's eyes when he gets near a gun! The swordswoman is my favorite character so far. Her and the dog.

I agree that the resident evil series failed. Pity really... the lickers looked a bit creepy though. Anyway; this series definitely does it better. Instead of one person flying through hordes you have a decent group struggling and barely managing to make it through. The cast has diverse attitudes and mannerisms which make each character important rather than having it solely revolve around one person it stems off to include the others as well; something which a few other mangas with a large main cast seem to forget to do.
