Ack, you beat me to it!

Let's hope they don't ruin this so we can get a second season...although the fan service may make this unwatchable soon enough.

Claymore is pretty good imho. Still open ended. Since the manga hasn't ended or the arc when it was animated. Will wait for the Wolverine and Ironman releases later on.

Just imagine if HOTD director directed Wolverine...Elecktra and Pyslocke will be very bouncy.

OMG Shiroth i cant believe you broke out with that one. ugh bad memories are flooding back into my head.

Im actually looking on the bright side i think madhouse is doing a great job so far and im going to have some faith that they wont do some crappy original ending. They have been pretty faithful to the manga so far.

well...Psylocke was already kinda bouncy in the Marvel video games...so I'm okay with this

Madhouse by the looks of it seems pretty good at going along with the manga so far for HOTD, but I really do hope they don't do a (Anime Original) like most of you commented... I would rather see the manga version animated then see a Anime Original ending

I was about to nominate Claymore as one of the best anime adaptation .. until they animated the last final 3 episode.

Then they go from OMG GREATNESS INCARNATE to WTF is THIS SHI-

If history repeat itself, considering which arc where it should end, I'll be so freaking pissed!

If you look at it from the perspective of having to end the series without setting up for a season 2 or sequel, the Claymore ending was ok. I mean how else would u provide closure?

You don't. Even not knowing what the manga was I could tell it took a nose dive. Besides, it only concluded what people cared about the least, their reunion.

Soul Eater was the same. When that series diverged the quality dropped, and boy was that a fail end to an awesome series.

I'm still hoping for a Claymore remake. They could make a second season but pick up at the start of Pieta or something.

But returning to the topic, I think they can end this openly. I'm not sure what the manga is and all, but this is one series where it's almost impossible to conclude at all. I mean, it's an apocalypse, the only way out is to leave the planet, lol.

Well the Madhouse ending to Higschool Of The Dead can't possibly fail as bad as we all think it would... It's not like there could be any huge plot holes, HOTD isn't focused on plot anyways xD

[Archon_Wing]

Oh yea, there was a plot somewhere... Something about zombies and boobs.

People will still complain about the ending if they didn't provide closure, especially those that do not read the manga. Either way they are screwed. Since they don't intend to make a sequal, imo there was nothing wrong for them to end the story rather then leave it hanging.


Actually just because it is an apocalypse it does not mean there is no recovering from it. There is a really good Zombie Apocalypse scenario (about as realistic as you can get being a Zombie Apocalypse) that was written a few years ago: World War Z (See Wiki article for summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_Z). There the world war against Zombies was fought and eventually won.

Arguably the zombies from that book are even worse then HSOT zombies since they auto home in on any living human and can call other zombies to them when they locate the living. At least here they only attract to sound. The author have done a lot of research into the subject and built a convincing world. It is much harder to fight zombies then HSOT made it out to look. A single swing from baseball bat generally do not break skull easily and very few rare individuals have the skill and accuracy with guns that is displayed here. Conventional armies failed to battle against zombies using conventional tactics and weapon(JSDF would not been useful at all.) Ocean also do not stop zombies, nor does fire. That policies the governments around the world adopted in order to survive are far worse then what the police have to do here in the last a couple episodes. The mangaka could really benefit a lot from that book if he continues this series.

^ And then have trolls coming in troves saying the story just recycling materials from WWZ?

You Berserk it.

And a second season would sell less that Queen Blade 2.
