Highschool of the Dead. Plot[edit] The story follows a group of high school students (and the school's nurse) as they deal with a worldwide catastrophic event known as the "Outbreak". As the cast tries to survive the zombie apocalypse, they must also face the additional threats of societal collapse, in the form of dangerous fellow survivors, and the possible decay of their own moral codes. Starting from the high school, the students escape into town where they must deal with a corrupt teacher and his students.

They check their homes for survivors, and pick up a little girl and a dog. Later, they hole up at a mall, travel through a police station, and eventually make their way to an elementary school that is supposedly a safe zone. Media[edit] Manga[edit] Highschool of the Dead began serialization in the July 2006 issue of Fujimi Shobo's manga magazine Monthly Dragon Age.

It's great how all of the "heroes" in the story aren't really medieval heroes in a fantasy world -- all of them are just ordinary people living in the real world. 8. This one had me both confused and frightened -- just as direct Satoshi Kon probably expected me to be. I've had those few lingering questions, like why is it that Mima continues to see Rumi as herself? Well, whatever. 7. Noir's flashback story bogs it down a little (especially in the first five or six episodes), but stick with it and you will find a great series with an ending that might leave things open for more... 6. 5. 4.

Instead we have collected these suggestions on how to find anime which matches your tastes without opening new recommendation threads.
