High School of the Dead

It’s the zombiepocalpse, and the only people left are high schoolers.

The new anime High School of the Dead will premiere today (July 5) exclusively on the Anime Network.  This premiere is simulcast in both the U.S. and Japan, but there’s no word as to whether the U.S. version is dubbed or just has captions.

The world has been ravaged by a horrible disease, turning the population into mindless zombies by rapidly increasing numbers.  A few high school students at Fujimi High School have survived the initial outbreak, but find themselves fighting for their lives as the people around them start turning.  Based on the manga by Daisuke Sato, we follow Takashi Komuro as he tries to unite the group and keep everyone alive.

The trailer (which you can see for yourself below) is certainly interesting, and definitely doesn’t look appropriate for anyone of a younger generation.

 There’s animated blood and guts, which you’d expect from a zombie show, but there also seems to be a lot of breast jiggling and up-skirt camera angles (the girls are wearing underwear in the trailer thank goodness).  While it hardly qualifies as hentai, it still looks inappropriate for younglings.

The 12 episode series is available to registered users on Anime Network Online where you can watch it through their official web player.
