High School of the Dead

 High School of the Dead is about a zombie apocalypse that suddenly appears in Japan. Our story seems to revolve around a group of teenagers that have survived the first initial wave of the zombie plague that seems to spread not only in their school but all across the city. The main character and leader of this group of survivors is Takashi Komuro an 17 year old boy that attends Fujimi High School, well he actually does go to school but barely goes to class. This boy has is considered a delinquent to everyone except the people that know him the most which mostly are the people that survive with him through the entire crisis that occurs. But, even though he doesn't have good grades or attendance he has a good heart and was made to be a leader.

Now even though the title suggests that the high school is the only setting in this story its really not it just starts there. When they do eventually leave the school Takashi must now lead his friends to safety but that might be a tougher than he originally planned. It turns out that not only the zombies are trying to kill them but the other people that are trying to survive the outbreak as well are trying to kill them, too.For example, people like Koichi Shido who was a teacher at the school. He already looks like a shady character when you first see him and this man's obvious evil side is confirmed when not only does he not help one of his fellow students who has tripped and sprained his ankle while trying to escape the zombies but he also kicks the poor boy right into the incoming herd of zombies that, of course, kill and eat him. Besides him their are a lot of other people struggling to survive and are willing to do just about anything they can to make sure they do not get killed or worse getting turned into a zombie.

With all of these obstacles in the way of their survival Takashi and the rest of his group must now put their heads together to finding a way to live through this and to also find out how and why this sudden zombie apocalypse has occurred.This show is a little on the perverted side but not so much that they ruin the story itself and if you like gore, horror, thrills, violence and hot girls then you'll surely love this anime very much. The anime is complete and I think their going to be making a season 2. I surely hope they are because they left a few questions unanswered. Also, the manga is still ongoing on the internet and I will be waiting patiently for their next update.Thanks for reading!
