(L) Highschool of the Dead

Random HotD story of the day:
http://yunakiti.blog79.fc2.com/blog-entry-5750.html

To sum it all up... The director wants to put as much fanservice as possible.

"We don't intend to forget Breasts-Butts-Thighs even in a world full of zombies"
"We want to continue adding as many breast bounces as possible"
"We think people that come to watch this anime come to watch the breasts"
"I've never seen any anime with so much breast bouncing as this one"
"The staff has gotten used to it and are bouncing those breasts without me having to say anything"
"I'm trying to make this anime in a way that I, when I was a middle schooler, would have definitely bought"
And some other stuff...

.......Eh?


PS: NicoDouga's anime channel has officially launched HotD, so you can watch it for free there. As expected, lots of comments... that are stupid and hilarious.
Though of course, it isn't the fastest, so don't count on it if you plan to watch it as fast as you can.

I will admit I didn't believe first, but after reading it myself, I couldn't help but let my head smashing my desk. My apologies serenade.

Anyway, this is the dumbest way to pick a certain aspect of a show, and magnifying it to the point it will be an eyesore. Fanservice, okay, but are they really going to put 60 FPS on G cup boob jiggling while we have bunch of zombies about to make a carnage? Talk about a mood breaker.
I thought Umineko amplified fanservice was obnoxious, but I guess it will be tame in term of increase with HotD (who I am kidding, it was already the case with the first episode).

[ID555]

What is this director's name? I'm going to worship him.


Well, this part - "We think people that come to watch this anime come to watch the breasts" is wrong, but what the hell, he's my kind of guy.

[bigdeath]

Well, its true. I do watch this kind of show (or any zombie story) for the lolz so yeah, bring on the T & A.

Whats the directors name so I know who my new god is?

Tetsurō Araki

He directed Death Note and Kurozuka, he also worked on Gungrave and Black Lagoon.

[bigdeath]

Well then, hes already my god.

The mood of those shows definitely fits this one, but I've watched BL and Kurozuka and there was no fanservice in them?? Ah, maybe now he intends to make full use of this opportunity..

[Kanon]

The comments of the director are so hilarious

But, eh, I'm not surprised one bit they intend to include as much fanservice as they can. You could say they're just trying to stay as faithful as they can to the manga.

What? Three of those(can't comment on Gungrave) were very very skimpy on the fanservice. Looks like he's had a change of heart.

[Jin Kizuite]

The thing is I don't mind /love ecchi at all if they seperate, or keep it to a minimum from when the serious "people are dieing everywhere" moments.

Which is what I believe happens. Thus, this is gonna be awesomeeeeeee. Season 2 i'm calling it now!

Oh then I guess I'm gonna look forward to the high quality slow motion bitch slap then.
Its nice to hear the man managed to convert the entire staff to perverts in such a short time (lol).

[Shiroth]

The staff must be dedicated fans of the manga. That's all.

Truly didn't expect this from Tetsuro Araki though.

Exactly what I though in a way. They should focus more on character interactions, gore and the zombies whole thing with zombie killings.......in the manga it did a amazing job but the fan service along with censors might kill that a lot for us and I think that it's Also I would wish more sexual serious stuff instead like a nice kiss.

It's really sad when you think that sex sells and the results are crap like in this series.

[Sheba]

It's just the first episode guys, wait three more episodes before calling it. Not like I and/or you should expect the anime version of The Walking Dead.

ok I like my ecchiness, I don't mind it and I can handle excessiveness, I like to think it's put in as a extra for s**ts and giggles but what I don't like is the fact they think we're actually just watching this for the breasts, if that was the case I'd go look at some real pr0n or hentai.
I'm here for the zombie fest and I'm sure like 99% others are the same, I would have thought that was given but seems I'm wrong here.
Well I'll still enjoy this for what it is but I think the crew behind this has the wrong mindset for the series.

[Sotobrastos]

Those comments sound like he's being sarcastic about it.

[gonzo562]

i bet theirs gonna more ecchiness in the future episodes

so if ya hate unnecessary bouncing boobs, pantie shots, and gore be prepared to see more of it or stop watching

[Qikz]

I for one welcome any fan service they wish to supply to me, it just adds to the flavour of the show.

Silly question, what day does this air again? It's only been a few days and I've already forgotten when I watched it. :x

July 12th.

Love the author's sarcastic comments, but he knows too well as to what sells. Overall, the fan (dis)service does not hurt the series at all. Tetsuro Araki must be one of Tomonobu Itagaki's close friends.

[thelok]

Are there any subs of this anime yet? I'd like to watch it.

Edit: Nm, the answer is yes.
