Highschool of the Dead – 12 (end) – Series Review
So, when does the second season of Highschool of the Dead begin? Anybody? I suspected something fishy was going on when Takashi and group were told to get their butts moving and find their parents at the 15 minute mark. I thought “Hey now … this is the last episode and the entire mansion is getting swarmed … you don’t have the time to go searching for your parents”. The ending couldn’t have made it more obvious a second season is necessary, but even if the anime gods do not come through, I thoroughly enjoyed the show’s fun and frantic run.
Highschool of the Dead – 11
Banning Shido from the Takagi residence wasn’t something I had expected, but none the less a good alternative to having Rei blow his face off with that rifle, though I would have preferred that conclusion. I guess the bits of Shido humanizing helped me to understand where his character was coming from, and so I can’t make ill wishes to someone with a crappy childhood growing up the way he is. With that, good-bye Mr. Shido and your orgy bus of fun, best wishes to you out there in that zombie infested hell.
Highschool of the Dead – 10
Taking a step back from the usual zombie slaying and boob groping, the gang has to decide whether to leave the safety of the new larger group or quickly separate before the adults take all their resources. Knowing they probably want to continue to find the whereabouts of their loved ones, disbanding and doing it fast makes more sense at the moment though placing themselves in danger once again. Good thing someone happened to fix their Humvee so they can make their speedy get-away.
Highschool of the Dead – 09
Separated from the rest of the group, Takashi and Saeko must fend for themselves through the night till they can make their way toward safe refuge at Takagi’s mansion.
Thus far Saeko has played a somewhat stereotypical character, though her innocent dialogue at times a strong contrast to the disciplined and matured attitude she predominately presents. Underneath all of it though a dark secret has resurfaced to haunt her again.

I’ll just spare myself and not bother over-analyzing why our fearsome heroes simply did not slip through the wire security fence with its gigantic holes in its mesh pattern. As the zombies are too stupid to bend to slip through themselves, this could have ended the episode in a jiffy. The animators didn’t give much forethought into drawing it I suppose. Maybe it was electrified … just maybe? If it can stop a Humvee, that’s some wicked security fencing they use in Japan and I’ll just assume it’s the most bad-ass and most impregnable security fence in the world … unless you happen to have a ladder.
