Man some of those subordinates are stupid, nice job running and screaming to lead the zombies back to base dumb ass. Can't shoot for shit either, you see a lot of the rounds hitting the ground.

This is the way this show ends.
Not with a bang but a second season teaser

I'm sure T.S. Eliot did not have zombie apocalypse in mind though lol.

I'm still not sure what Hypernova is trying to prove with those steak images. This show is mellow in terms of gore, far from the level that would turn stomachs and make people hurl

The subordinates really can't hit jack though.

Anyway, great show. Was exactly what I hoped for from it (mindless fun, zombie bashing, loads of fanservice) and stopped pretty much where it made sense to stop. A bit surprised that they show the mall at the end but that's just a teaser for a possible continuation.

This is very rare for a series to not end with either alternate ending or with some kind of filler. But than again does a zombie apocalypse EVER end?

secretzfan · 2010-09-20, 21:30

You know they should make a live action movie for this. It really is asking for one

Unless they end it with the nukes flying off and blowing everything up instead of causing an EMP wave

230 pages of replies and over 4000 responses and Highschool of the Dead still doesn't have it's own subforum. What does an anime have to do to get a subforum around here?

I believe this has been answered several times in the previous pages if I remember right

lightbringer · 2010-09-20, 21:57

Plus, the show is over now. Although there's an OVA and potentially another season, and the manga goes on, there's really no point in making another subforum after the fact ^_^;;;

D-KLAC · 2010-09-20, 22:04

well done series & really got have s2 for it.

Jeffry2009 · 2010-09-20, 22:04

Now i've been wondering. Now it really, really bugs me. How come this show really ended this way.

I wonder when this story continues? Are Tagaki Parents survived a zombie attacks? what happened to that Prick Guy Shidou? Who is exactly behind the zombie apocalypse?

My answer is:

WE DON'T KNOW.

Master Chibi · 2010-09-20, 22:07

I'm really happy with how this show was done, absurd fan service and all.

Wildly entertaining. Will definitely watch it again.

ttdestroy · 2010-09-20, 22:08

I'm impressed it ended so well, I thought for sure it would be a eff up.

My answer is probably going to be "Season 2 is a high possibility, so we might have to wait till the announcement

"

It was just something silly I thought up when ep2 came around

. I declared that I would have one with every ep and I simple stuck to that promise.

One wonders where they got their guns given the gun control laws. Those aren't exactly hunting rifles so what's their excuse?

Holy crap!

If you read the manga you'll understand why it ended the way it did.

I gotta say, this is the only anime to ever strictly follow the manga so precisely without any filler material inbetween.

Are there any other animes that follow this precisely and an Episode per Chapter?

It's just too bad all the other animes out there have filler material or anime-original endings (*looks at Sekirei...*).

lightbringer · 2010-09-20, 23:31

Dunno about episode per chapter, but there are plenty of anime that stick to the manga without filler. Watch some more anime, I guess?

HOTD made some changes though (most for the better), and rearranged some events which resulted in more deviations in the later chapters.

If I had to bet money, I'm betting that Tagaki's parents are both still alive with some of the survivors. They are just too GAR to die off screen like that.

SonOfHeaven · 2010-09-20, 23:38

Great way to end the season. Looking at the manga chapters, another 12 episode season is pushing it. We'll probably see another season like how Black Lagoon is doing it. Too bad the manga chapters get released pretty slow. Really liked how the did Saeko's character in the anime especially episode 9.

Can't wait for the Blu-rays to get released. Must buy for me.
