Wondering how many people have seen this
And some quick Anime recommendations if you guys have any based on what I've seen ^^

[quote=ILikeAnime]No dude, seriously it's awefull, Believe me. I was fan of the serie long before the anime came out.

The first 3 episodes were fantastic; identical how it match the manga, amazing quality, characters had lots of depth and the main protagonist (Komuro Takashi) was a badass. Afterwards, the serie went downhill by the overload of fanservice. I dont mind random pantyshots but every 15 seconds and gigantic boobs flying over the screen was way to much. The anime was mainly focussing on the fanservice (as well exaggerating compared to the manga), instead of the story of surviving teenagers, a kid and an adult. I tried not to pay attention to it but after watching this scene, I gave up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdeq5mgTYj0

Saddens me to see how downhill this serie has gotten...[/quote]

This. I was really looking forward to a zombie apocalypse type anime, but all the fanservice ruined it.

No, it's not good. Way too many fanservice for it to be any good.

I like it, Not much in the plot but its a really cool zombie story.
Since you did watch Elfen Lied you shouldnt have a problem with the fan service.

[quote=Aileeny]I just watched the first episode.

So.
Many.
Panty shots.[/quote]

Yeah, it's like that way too much in the first episode. That kinda thing isn't as abundant in the other 11 episodes (well, except for one in the middle, like #6 or something), but I'm not gonna say that they didn't stop with it.

I just finished watching it today, it was pretty good, but I'm not nearly as critical as other basilers lol

Poor HoTD... I supposed fanservice is a double edged sword
IMO I am more fascinated with the quasi love triangle forming as well as with kohtas entertaining antics
Unfortunately the ova is all fanservice unless ur into that kinda stuff
And yeah
Season 2s going to be out some time this year

It sucks; I don't know what Basil's spouting.

If it was only about the zombie apocalypse, the show would have been fine. Zombies and violence was what I expected, but the blatantly obvious [and bad] fan service [i]bogged[/i] it down. I mean, did anyone watch the OVA? It was just utter trash. Even if it was canon to the plot, it was so face-palm worthy, I face-palmed thrice.

t|dr: The show had potential to be a good thriller, but firing an automatic assault rifle through someone's cleavage ruined it.

It was...fine I guess. Just didn't enjoy how the panty shots and other ecchi crap sometimes made it seem more like the h word. It's all full of fanservice and the story is pretty much cliche. Other than that it's just fine.

[quote=DaVinci]I loved it. It was so grim and deep and brooding. A real social and philosophical commentary, I would defiantly say it was as thought provoking as Lain, or as detailed as Eva. 10/10, would definitely recommend to anyone.
No, not really. There's boobs and zombies, and thats about it.[/quote]

lol'd even if you were joking.

OT: its a good time killer, thats about it. I rated it 6/10. PM me if you want the names of Good anime, and fit your ' genre '.

From what I'ev heard, it's just a glorified soft-core hentie anime. Exaggerated breasts, panty shots, sounds like something that would give prepubescent teenagers a hardon for hours.

Maybe I'm wrong, since I haven't watched it. But based on what I've heard, I don't plan to watch it any time soon. <3 Too busy with Gintama, and other anime. I wish Hanasaku Iroha was longer... I love it oh so much.

[quote=Zulucker]why dont you just watch it online instead of downloading? there are only 12 episodes right now (i think)
kinda inappropriate but interesting to watch and you'd wonder what you'd do if you're in their situation XD[/quote]

It'd slap you if I wasn't against *action* text.

@Zulucker because I'd rather have them on hand because my internet is rather slow so watching online is a hassle when I have to wait about 1 hour to watch 20 minutes. I'd rather download them while I'm sleeping.

Watching it now lol. It can be pretty "inappropriate" at times, and one website I used to watch it actually made me put in my age just to watch it...

If you like the creepiness/violence/blood though, deadman wonderland is another good series I'd suggest. But the anime didn't go as far as the manga did, I think
