I see nothing to begin a fad out of it.
Try to see it as a sequel to Romero movies or a side story of Resident Evil. Sequels and side stories suck by default. Even if it ain't one of the above, people will still do the parallel and probably lose interest right away.

Why are you comparing HOTD with Hellsing? First of all Hellsing & HOTD are two different shows with different themes.
Hellsing is about a immoral, monstrous vampire whose boss is a staunch Protestant who kills anyone who is against her religion, her country and Queen, a badass catholic priest whose boss is a vicious bishop who hates anything that isn't Catholic, a silent, honorable, werewolf who's a bodyguard to a War mongering Nazi and the three way war between the three sides. The theme of this series is just a giant Rule Of Cool, Free For All battle.
HOTD is about a group of Japanese Highschool students trying to survive a zombie apocalypse. The series theme is about how this group who are use to their ordinary lives as everyday, average Japanese must learn to survive in this new world, without sacrificing their morals.
Second of all, just because the anime has no superpowered heroes fighting monsters, don't assume it sucks and will fail. (Alucard can be considered sucks because he always the Boring Invincible Hero who never lose in his battles.
Never!)
The fact the protagonists of this series are just ordinary people makes it more cooler since it shows you don't need superpowers to survive a zombie apocalypse and be a BadAss.
So before you say something sucks, do a little a research on that subject to see if it really sucks or is really cool.
