If the author toned down his massive b00b fetish, refined the characters, and built a sound development structure, it could've been a superb manga.

Well, there's the police officer (Asami, was it?). She has normal sized boobs. That's progress, isn't it?

YES.

Which studio?


No one knows yet, but I hope Madhouse (Black Lagoon, Hellsing OVA, Claymore, Kaiji, Needless etc.), Bones (Darker than Black, Fullmetal Alchemist, Soul Eater) or AIC Spirits (Garei Zero, Tokyo Majin; these two anime series got some quite similar character designs as the ones in the Highschool of the Dead manga if you ask me).

Don't forget the peeing loli who keeps calling the main character "oniichan."

Best news ever! One of the biggest disappointments was the hiatus on this series, it's so good.

That image sums up High School of the Dead perfectly. It's primarily about fanservice. The zombies are more of an afterthought.

Or to use another analogy, it's like someone took a copy of The Walking Dead, tore out all the pages and used it to hide their collection of porn.

Best. Idea. EVER!

I can see why this is getting animated, if that's an accurate analogy. Rolling Eyes

I'm estastic that the manga is continuing.

The anime on the other hand I'm much more weary about. This could be very epic if done by Madhouse. It's too dark for Bones and alot of other studios so I think Madhouse is a safe bet. I would have preferred an OVA format though for quality reasons.

Would it help reassure you if I tell you that there's a plot-relevant orgy bus in the story?
