man, you really got to love this manga. Just look at the figurines. . .
They'd be sure to give you good dreams, damn !
Chapter 28 has come out if anyone is still following it,it was mostly just talking though,the end of the chapter was suspenseful at least.
Kind of disappointed to be honest.
I mean you wait several weeks for one chapter and nothing happens.
I don't want every chapter zombie slaughter but when it is a dialogue based chapter then I want important imformations … but in this chapter ... well at least we know about this evacuation plan >_>

and an update on HOT Rika Minami who went commando and decided to go into the zombie infested city and the reappearance of that sadistic teacher along with his brainwashed minions.
After more than a months wait it was alright. Wish more happened but I liked how they got out of the police station and on with their mission by the end of the chapter. That SAT agent is badass and I can't wait to see what crazy manipulative plan that perverted teacher has in mind.
Is this a good show to start watching/reading?
yea its worth watching, very good animated show and entertaining to say. its not ground breaking or anything, just your typical zombie movie pretty much
btw did you guys know that sometime next year like spring or something a full color edition of the manga's first four volumes will be released as well as sometime a new OVA (no idea on content on this one)

The thing is though i dont like zombies or TO much fanservice or gore so even with that in mind would this still be a good choice to watch?
No. Fanservice in this show is ricockulous, to the level of being comedic without meaning to.
Anyway it quickly seems to lose the point. Strong start, weak, weak end.
I watched this about a month and a half back.
It's pulp, and once the novelty (as far as typical anime/manga premises go at least) wears off roughly halfway through, its weaknesses become very apparent. The utterly ridiculous male gaze and fan service coupled with some rather grating characters and some chauvanistic undertones does not help either. Blows its action-sequence load early, peeters out at the middle, ends leaving a feeling of apathy.
@Tamaki:

i said it was its typical horror zombie movie correct?
now that involves zombies, pointless nudity, and gore.
so why did you even ask? i mean this is like saying you hate basketball and asking someone if teh NBA finals are worth watching. Don't bother then if you hate zombie flicks.
Yeah, Crossword is on point.
It's pulp, but doesn't get much better than that, in any way, and none of them good.
It's also chauvinistic as HELL, even for a Japanese anime, which is saying something. Busujima singlehandedly sets women back 100 years - and she's one of the more likeable characters.
FINALLY! A new chapter after months. I think the last chapter we had was last year…

I haven't read the series yet but your post interests me. Could you please elaborate ?
I imagine it's the whole ''man'' thing. ''Only a man such as you can lead us,'' ''Let's hear what the man has to say'', etc. from what I remember. I remember most of the principal female characters coming off as annoying and/or incredibly whiny. Going off of what Silence said, Saeko's one of the few exceptions for actually keeping a level head, but still had all those chauvanistic lines and the implied sex scene made me eyeroll.
What the hell was that? I didn't wait for months to watch a porno chapter. -_- I expected some more progress and while I'm glad they ran into the girl's mom…that was all that really happened. The rest was boobs and rain to give an excuse for the girls to get wet.
Hey! Don't diss fanservice!
Bumping because Netflix has the dub on instant. Not bad so far, the acting is pretty decent. Need to catch up on the manga though.
oh, been on netflix for quite some time i believe
damn you and your bump, i was like wow off hiatus. seems like the author forgot about thsi series and is just releasing triage x or whatever its called
My roommates marathoned the dub Friday evening. While the content is still, well, Highschool of the Dead, the acting was decent given that I'd never heard of any of the actors before (Saya voice being infinitely less annoying was a big plus), and I did get a chuckle out of the blatantly dub-only lines that poked fun at the show.

I had no idea he was on hiatus. Too bad though, its a fun read.

I was wondering which company did the dub, because I don't recognize any of the voices except for the nurse lady voiced by Monica Rial. Looked it up and its Madhouse, I love a lot of the dubs they have done.
Its funny how they mention Romero's work in there XD
Also, ep 3 where the bus full of zombies crashes and the fire separates the party, is totally an homage to Resident Evil 2. Takashi even says to meet at the police station.
Some gifs I made. (NO NOT Perverted Ones)

Do you realize just how jacked up you sound when you say that??
You're putting blame on the completely wrong person.
The artist (who also does triage x) has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HIATUS of this manga, the WRITER does.
You want the artist to STARVE without a job while the stupid writer jacks off like he always does with everything he's ever written? :wassat:

oh sorry didn't know they had different writers
i just know that highschool of the dead, triage x, fire fire fire all seemed to be coming out the same time and they all look IDENTICAL, thus assumed it was one guy doing it all.
You know like when Hiro did Fairy Tail AND Monster Hunter at same time

Yes, all three of those ARE from the same artist.
But the writer of HOTD is not involved in the other two.
The writer of HSOD, Daisuke Satou, is infamous for writing novels that he never finishes, and throwing out the project in the middle.
He has dozens of unfinished books he gave up on after years of hiatus.
The artist, Shouji Satou (unrelated), comes from doujin adult market. (known as INZUMA)
HOTD was his first break. While Daisuke slacks off and makes the series go into hiatus, Shouji can't just idle around and not make any money.
That's why he's doing Triage X (Fire, Fire, Fire was a short run that ended already) while waiting on the writer to get off his ass and write the next chapter of HOTD.
Lol, I had no idea either, the artwork is so similar I assumed it was the same writer.

ha well the artwork IS THE SAME
but yea i assumed was same author for all three due to the artist being the same in all three.
Just like Freezing, Legend of the Main, UxU all look identical. I assume they are all by the same person
Hahaha UxU I like that series because in the middle of it the main guys are all like "I know kung-fu" and then bam battle shounen, it was hilarious.
So huh about this manga…........boobs don't work like that. The end.

really, haven't read UxU, read the other two. I thought UxU was about some kid having a crush on his teacher. Didn't know it turned into a shounen
Heh it was only for a couple of chapters but it was really weird.
So I take it this comic is dead. So let's say the main characters survived, found their parents, stopped the apocalypse, and Kouta Hirano would go on to write Hellsing. That's all folks!
The manga is still alive, look at today's releases at mangapanda.com, but with weak pulse as there is no chapter next month. http://hotdead.blogspot.ca/2013/04/hotd-not-returning-next-month.html theorizes that it might be just a one shot to see the fans' reaction.
16 characters of appreciation
16charactersofwat.
Too bad. now HotD will never get a clear ending. It was fun while it lasted though. A bit stupid, very ecchi but fun.
That's a shame.
HOTD was a werid series, that was kinda interesting until it got REALLY werid.
Well, the artist had been using zombies in his own series (Triage) for a while now. The writing was never his strong point, but the style is basically the same.
May he find peace in a heaven full of bloodcovered, jiggling breast and school uniforms.
