No longer the helpless one, he often leads a fight only to obtain great results. But once there is a rifle or an AK47 in sight, you get to see the transformation in his nature. He is timid and meek, gets bullied all the time. Hirano is the guy who follows her around like a lovesick puppy. There is a part of her that’s kind and nice but she hides it behind all witty repartee and puts up a brave front. Takagi is the kind of sassy girl who listens to no one and bosses around. The next two characters are Takagi and Hirano. Is there anything that Rei and Takashi can do to save him? And if there is, will Takashi rescue him? For better or for worse, despite all their efforts, Hisashi gets bitten by a zombie. Now Takashi has always had a soft spot for Rei, after all they have been childhood friends, but Rei starts dating his bestfriend Hisashi. And like dominoes one after the other, the whole school gets zombie-fied, the teachers, students, staff – all of them except a bunch of girls and guys who are the main cast. The anime starts off with Fujimi High School being attacked by one zombie. The first episode has zombies in it and so does the last. Highschool of the Dead is an anime that focuses all of its 12 episodes on the Zombie Apocalypse. So this is not only my first anime but also a first in the zombie arena. Amidst all the hype about Left for Dead and Resident Evil and such, I have just unintentionally always walked past the zombie shelves.

I have never watched or read or played anything with a zombie theme in it.
