Oh i like this quite a bit. Madhouse certainly deliver with high production, and it's classic Tetsurou Araki (especially that OP). Plus you really can't go wrong with looking girls, decent fanservice and a good amount of gore. I'm sold. & yeah the score so far really fits.

Was tempted to start reading the manga after this first episode, though i'll stick with this just for now. Madhouse seem to deliver anyway.

Holy shit I am like O_O Especially at Hisashi becoming a zombie at the end and Takahashi killing him. Rei dumping him and getting this is a kind of what goes around comes around......like steal my love and you die kind of thing.

I don't know where to start....blood gushing....like in the movies of this type. Ecchi is not like in the movies at all so no need for that although the ecchi around the bites and blood gushing is ok but generally I would think it ruins it. I mean sex + zombies does = good but more unique since it's Japanese anime. Wait till I do some of the GIFs.

Wow so many people dead in the first episode......Hayashi sensei, Tejima, Misuzu, Toshimi.....WTF literally......I know all about zombie movies but still a WTF expression. Generally really good and can't wait to see Hirano in action with nail gun!

and of course when he gets better weapon also the Kendo girl too and this=>

Revolver!

Just wow for a Japanese anime zombie thing. The most recent amazing thing was Shikabane Hime I saw that was incredible not too long ago.
BTW for manga readers PM me if there are sex scenes or nudity in the future of this series.

If you're impressed by a revolver wait until they introduce the SRT Officer and her stash of weapons.

Yes! PM right now the manga page direct link just to take a peek!

So far we do have not bad for weapons....baseball bat, Kendo wooden sword, pole stick with spike. Hoping for machine gun like in OP of 7.62mm.......sniper rifle........flame thrower........grenades.......shotguns of all types and maybe even that heavy machine gun on the jeep.

Still not sure why I fangirl over the manga... but I do love it. hehe

With Madhouse handling it, it should turn out pretty good. Thou if the series does not get a lot of sponsorship, expect the later episodes to suffer, on the animation side. They've still a small production company, only so much they can do before going in the red.

Preacher · 2010-07-05, 05:40

And then we try to convince someone its more then just sex and violence we are looking for in our anime and movies...

Should be a theme song of the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrHFknW-i64 Waiting for first AMVs.

gonzo562 · 2010-07-05, 05:52

haha i cant believe he bitch slapped her.

Deathkillz · 2010-07-05, 06:48

FINALLYYYY! HAHAHA!!!

Now this is what I call a story! Absolutely brilliant start so far! I have to say that this is hands down my favourite series right now and hope it continues to stick closely to the manga and I hope they don't invent some original ending since the manga isn't anywhere close to ending but fingers crossed there

But for now, HURRAY!!! XD

Preacher · 2010-07-05, 06:54

Good anime, really well done, really interesting. Too bad the source material isnt really that awesome - but thats how´d Battle Royale would have looked if it ever was made into Anime.

ID555 · 2010-07-05, 07:01

Gorgeous job of adapting the manga (I'm talking about the girls of course).

edit: Alicia! That's why I like Rei's voice so much

ID555 · 2010-07-05, 07:15

Somehow, I really welcome the fanservice, not only because the art style is unique and the girls look great, but it makes a nice contrast with all the gore in this show.

lesengirz · 2010-07-05, 07:21

By no means i was triying to be sarcastic or anything, it was more like a stright question, because i don't remember very well the very first episodes of the manga, due that the scanlaters (Xamayon i think) Ware really slow at scanlating it, and eventually i stopped reading it.

I think i left where

Yeah, Inoue Marina. I don't mind her voice after Valkyria Chronicles and some of her music from the Ginban Kaleidoscope OST.

Nina.Wolken · 2010-07-05, 07:32

Wonderful start is wonderful. I'm so glad they did (well, so far) such a good job at adapting the manga.
I was getting sceptic about this season but HSotD proves that I can keep faith in anime ～('∇'*).

TooPurePureBoy · 2010-07-05, 07:33

Wow. First anime in a while that I've actually been excited over. Hope they keep this level of quality throughout...but that's probably asking too much. Hell of a first episode though.

TyG3R · 2010-07-05, 07:45

Oh.. God , this is so great. Left me speechless.Just episode 1 , and i want more !

So intense , and so good. I knew if Madhouse will do this , it will be good.

bite_the_bullet · 2010-07-05, 08:15

Just watched the first episode and I was so right to think this would be awesome. So much violence, gore and oddly placed ass shots (can tell the creators like a lot a ass) Glad that i have a gorey series to watch and not just comedy.
Thumbs up

Kanon · 2010-07-05, 08:26

Zombies, titties, and panties. That pretty much sums up the first episode.

That was an impressive start. High production values, chara design very faithful to the manga, and great voice cast. The music was damn good as well, I just love the ending song. Having read the manga, I knew what to expect, but the amount of panty shots was still surprising. It's been a while since I saw that much in a single episode... actually, it may even be the first time.

PS: I had forgotten how unlikable Takashi and Rei were at the start...

Mizuno · 2010-07-05, 08:40

Hm, I have my adventure fix, dirty joke comedy fix, romance fix, just missing something with great action. Glad I found something to look forward to every week.

dreamingxashley · 2010-07-05, 08:50

Holy hell in a handbasket! lol I just saw the first ep... and it surpassed the manga in every way... they even had screwy camera angles! Which I think they simulated in the manga.

Takashi's voice was a bit deeper than I was expecting, but Rei pretty much sounded like I thought she would.

Cant wait to see another ep! Oh, and the end song was great! The OP not so much.
