How did I miss that a thread for this was in existence? Anyhow, watched on the first day it aired and have been hooked since.

Well... It was a steamy episode... ... :ying:. Still had plenty of serious moments though, good blending so neither got too tired. Boner mood killing comment = :rofl:. The next episode pretty much determines whether or not I can use this in an upcoming AMV idea... PLEASE LET IT BE EPIC MADHOUSE, PLEASE.

What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

I was just facepalming the whole time. The fanservice is just way the fuck too over the top. The gun otaku scene was pretty win though, I was wondering when they'd gear up :3

The show's entire premise lives off being gratuitous so I can't fault it. Their intent is clearly over the top sexy and over the top violence. It's the same thing as Tenjou Tenge basically. If Tenjou Tenge didn't have sexy female T&A it wouldn't have the same appeal or market success it had.

Now if folks personally don't enjoy over the top violence and sex that's another story.

Yeah, I guess it's more of a personal thing. Probably stems from my desire to see something along the lines of Shaun of the Dead the anime. :p

Yea that's a hard thing to get from JP guys especially if its an otaku show. The closest thing to a comedy + horror mix I can think of is occult academy. Thing is true pop Japanese humor doesn't really meld well with horror. It's gag stuff. The best thing I can think of was a segment on one of the Downtown Gaki no Tsukai batsu game specials. It was basically a long segment of guys freaking out at the simplest things. Keep in mind even for otaku mainstream gag stuff is popular. Look at Arakawa, Masaru-san, Gag Manga Byori, and countless others that never got anime that have been popular in Jump and the like for years. But if you look at those they are often so random or non sequitur it's going to be hard to mix them with zombie violence. I think you need really need to go either slapstick or dark comedy.
