Ironic as the next ep preview had a line to the extent of 'Which is more important, your clothes or your life?' :rofl:

I can understand your point though, it does make sense to see some panties if someone falls down the stairs, is crouching or whatnot...but there's still the fact that it blatantly goes out of it's way to show some of those shots too. And seriously, how can that teacher in the OP keep her balance with those breasts? SHE USED THEM AS PILLOWS.

Ranting aside, I'll probably watch a couple more eps before deciding - overall, the first ep was a fun, bloody romp. The animation and character design is gorgeous, though the main character looks enough like Buso Renkin's main that it;s practically copyright infringement.

All i could think was "Hm ... she's probably going to fall, get trampled and end up dying. That's really not the sort of scenario you'd normally associate with a panty shot ..." somehow i chuckled at that. I'm a sick bastard, i know. :nose:
I was rather amused with one part of that scene...all the students panic and run out of their classrooms, trampling each other, fighting each other...then there's a shot of a guy holding a girl in a total rape pose. What was he trying to do there, exactly? xD

Main character is taller than Busou Renkin guy. Also, he has light brown hair, whereas BR guy has bark brown hair with light streaks.

Oh, that means "Hello" in Japanese. He was just socializing.

My interest was almost unable to measure, then I hear it is saturated in pantsu.

Nope, I have had my years worth of pantsu and titties.

This show just proves even a zombie theme is not special enough to escape a need to make miscreant teens horny.
Anime, one of the few things about the internet that doesn't make me hate the internet.

I went into this expecting mindless zombie-slaying fun and got just that (along with a little unnecessary fanservice, but it's not enough to make me stop watching it). I normally watch shows with a little more substance when it comes to story and characters, but I've heard people constantly sing praises for the manga, so I decided to check this out. Within the first episode, this show became something of a guilty pleasure for me, like junk food in anime form. The animation for this kind of show was really well done and I was impressed with the voice acting (especially on Hisashi's part). I'm not expecting the story and characters to be any deeper than a thimble, but the action, suspense, and fast pace are enough to keep me entertained. I'm also glad that this series is going to be 12 episodes long, because Madhouse can only stretch this series for so long without getting boring or monotonous.

Oh, and how about that 28 Days Later song? :D

OH HELL YES! This is exactly what I've been missing for a while :D Haven't had anything this gutwrenchingly entertaining since Umineko was over with :D (also zombie strippers SUCKED!!!!! D:, Watched that at my mom's 50th zombie birthday party)
The one legged space chicken is after me again.

So if they escape from the school would they have to change the anime name to "City of the Dead"?

I know right. It might be just like the series "Prison Break". The moment they broke out of prison, they kept getting caught and going to different prisons. Maybe they'll actually escape to a different school that isn't populated by zombies.
