If you like zombies and apocalyptic settings, you’ll love Highschool of the Dead anime, in which a bunch of high school student bands together to try and survive the zombie apocalypse prompted by a virus transmitted through bodily fluids—so what those biting zombies.
As with most zombie-centered anime series, Highschool of the Dead isn’t short on blood, guts, and zombie brains. It also isn’t short on fan service. For the uninitiated, we’re referring to skimpy outfits and camera angles to innuendos and explicit scenes.
But there’s more to Highschool of the Dead than just zombies and fan service; the narrative cleverly explores just how far humans would go to survive, as well as the predatory nature of our species even in the face of adversity, among other things.
Highschool of the Dead is truly an amazing anime for those in want of some zombie-apocalypse gore.
