so... what? i don't get the context.
he died the most heroic way possible for a dog btw ^^
He tried to bite his master's head off and got a bullet to the head >_>
Yeah, a regular Lassie
nah, she was already dead when she got bitten in my eyes, protecting his master,
and if I'm not mistaken her master suffocated her, which was even more dramatic ^^
The sole female I can't stand on this series is Saeko. Yes, I even like the brainless nurse.
So anyway... still looking for a decent fansub to substitute GG. Anyone found one? TMD didn't quite convince me last time.
I'm surprised at all the Saeko hate. She was extremely popular (#1) even in the manga. What's so bad about her that anyone would choose the nurse over her?
I don't, at least yet, believe Saeko is nothing but the author's chauvinistic image of a dream girl, so I have no reason whatsoever to hate her. In fact I still like her the best of the females. I suppose the fact she has shown only strength, calmness and logic so far could put off some of the audience as it could indicate lack of personality and character.
Like Sapphi said, flaws often define characters and thus if a character shows no flaws, they will look robotic and suffer from no development. Unless it's a shoujo show, where the male love interest may be perfect at everything, har har.
Anyway, if the new girl turns out not useless and will provide funny scenes, she might become my favorite. As long as she stays away from ecchi (unless it's for hilarious purposes like with Kusano from Sekirei).
For the record, I don't hate Saeko. I just dislike her attitude. And when I began reading this manga, years ago before the long hiatus, I always had a preference for both Rei and Saya (Takagi). Also the little girl (whose name wasn't revealed yet) is just too cute...
Meh. At least I don't believe that if a character is popular among most of the fanbase it should mean I have to like her.
I would find it interesting to see how Saeko being willing to bow down to a man could be considered a flaw by anyone other than a female supremacist. My take is that she just doesn't see herself as 'leader' material for some reason. I do think she has an idea of what a 'leader' ought to be though and she sees some of that in Kuromo and tends to encourage him to embrace it in her own way. Whatever it is that Saeko is reacting to I certainly don't think it's as simple as him having a penis.
She makes me think of a soldier looking for a worthy commander to follow. She has her own head and her own ideas but lacks (or suppresses) the internal spark needed to take the reins and blaze her own trail pulling everyone along with her. Instead she defers to Kuromo and only offers council and analysis, leaving the final decisions up to him. Considering she could kick his ass or browbeat him into obedience with her seniority and maturity I think it takes a lot of self-discipline for her to behave the way she does towards him.
As long as you follow orders and don't impede their implementation by others.
On a completely unrelated note, what the hell Saeko. Standing on top of a rapidly moving and blatantly jerking Humvee just seems retarded despite how awesome it looked. I know it's silly amidst all the other liberties this show takes with realism but that one ripped through my suspension of disbelief so jaggedly I couldn't help but address it.
Also, despite the apparent miracle that he understands Japanese and human gestures like nodding the dog needs to go. Ideally it could be used as a decoy to get a heroic sacrifice credit but one way or another it needs to be left on the side of the road.
Any EDs out yet?
Not that I know of.
Edit: September 22nd.
I stick with TMD. They're worlds above gg, especially considering this thread convo that shinta brought up. In their version, Saeko says, "Don't get me wrong, Komuro-kun. I'm just saying that's how reality is." Which more or less gets the tone shinta pointed out that she should have, pointedly avoiding the mention of "truth," which would be implying an absolute. I'm not certain what you haven't liked about them previously, I haven't seen anything nearly as blatantly wrong as I saw in gg's or a few others. It only took me one episode to know I'd never bother with gg's again, they had a tremendous amount of errors and very liberal translations. TMD is slow, but worth the wait.
Concerning the actual content of the episode, this episode really was mostly fanservice. Saeko riding on the roof was ridiculous, especially given that that they were likely going to be hitting zombies with the Humvee. Good way to get hit by a body part, grabbed by a rolling zombie, or otherwise dislodged when they run over a big pile. Equally stupid was Komuro riding in on the bike in the first place. He absolutely should have snuck in like a ninja. It would have been easy with both the girl and dog making so much noise. Then again, I suppose time was of the essence, given that he barely made it as in on the bike.
Komuro and his harem aside, I appreciated what they touched on in this episode with the girl, her father, and the other family. It was implied that her mother is already quite dead or possibly still zombified, but we don't know for sure. The only thing we do know is she got to not only witness people getting eaten, she also saw her father stabbed right in front of her. Her father was more than willing to sacrifice himself for his daughter's safety, and was shown only how selfish people can truly become. Sure they had a large group, but that was no reason to just stab the poor guy. Was it practical? I suppose, he was making a lot of noise that would attract them. Was actually stabbing his necessary. No. They could have just pointed it at him and told him to get the hell out.
It set the stage for a good contrast between Komuro's harem and the other group in that other house. They think only of themselves, where Komuro's group think about how much they can accomplish without too much harm to their own chances. The benefits of that kind of behavior haven't backfired on them yet. The other family is likely doomed. Their gate is open, they're too cowardly to defend it, and will likely be overwhelmed in a matter of hours or at most a day or two. Their lack of trust towards outsiders will only mirror on the inside of the home sooner or later.
I suppose the last point I should make concerning the episode is...tits.
How was the "psycho"? He did anything to protect his daughter. Normal behavior, I´d say.
I'm guessing he meant psycho as in that the other people found him to be dangerous and might get them all killed after all if he did break the door it would mean the zombies would be able to get in and we all know what would happen after that. Though personally I wouldn't call that psycho but desperate either way it makes him come of as a dangerous person in their eyes since he more or less threatened them.
Post here your impressions, RZ. The comparison shot indeed made them look like the most ungainly of them all, in their choice of expressions and words.
Meh, after 7 episodes i think i`m done with this series, it has more fan service than zombie attacks, the premise is great, but the blatantly shameless fan service per second (fsps from now on), the absolutelly unlikeable characters (except for the main guy) and the all around over the top action scenes killed it for me.
I just wanted a zombie anime. :(
MFauli pretty much answered this one for me. Her father was just being a good father in a desperate situation. He was panicked about the probable loss of his wife (potentially at his own hand) and was concerned about his daughter's safety. If he wasn't freaking out like that, I'd say he was, "psycho."
He was a normal salary guy. He's not a proficient kendo practitioner, in a sojutsu (spear) club, a gun fanatic, a self-proclaimed genius, an extremely lucky airhead or the main character. He's just a normal guy, same as the people who stabbed him with an improvised spear.
He absolutely wasn't thinking clearly enough to not attract more zombies, he was terrified for his daughter's well being in a horrible situation beyond most imagination.
Zombies, blood, over the top action scenes, tons of hot chicks in little to no clothing.. how can you not like it?
Admit it, you just can't handle the awesome! :D
GoodQuote:
Zombies
Not as gory as you would think from a zombie series tbh.Quote:
Blood
That doesn`t fits the series *at all*, if i want over the top i would watch Naruto, DBZ, Bleach, etc.Quote:
Over the top action scenes
I`m gay.Quote:
Tons of hot chicks in little to no clothing.
It`s easy trust me, i really really tried to like the series, but the reasons mentioned in my previous post absolutelly ruined it for me.Quote:
How can you not like it?
Let`s put it this way, you go to the movie theater to watch a movie called "Action movie part 14: Blood, testosterone, bullets and explosions, the revenge!", but it turns out to be a comedy, you would be dissapointed yes?
I don't know. A completely serious zombie story doesn't necessarily sound so good, not after you've seen the old classics already. The over the top action scenes suit this series because it definitely doesn't take itself too seriously - unlike those examples you mentioned.
Not liking the fanservice is an exceptations failure, clearly, because the trailers already left no ambiguity regarding that. I already said in an earlier post why I don't mind that so I won't needless repeat myself here.
Difference in taste i guess then, as a matter of fact, a completelly serious zombie series sounds so awsome right now. May i ask what are these classics you mention? i`ve never seen a zombie anime.
Sorry. I meant the old classic zombie movies, not animes.
Fine then. "Psycho" wasn't the best word for what I'm describing, if at all. More like "not thinking straight". Understandably, "not thinking straight" would be considered "normal" behaviour considering those circumstances, but what's "normal" really isn't the point.
That applies to both the father and the group who stabbed him. He was selfish for his daughter, but selfish nonetheless. (paradox, but think about it)Quote:

(obviously, these guys were pretty "psycho" at the moment too, and didn't think of this, having stabbed the "immediate" threat instead.)Quote:

I like the series so far, but the fanservice kind of hurts is in my eyes. This series to me should be more 'kicking the shit out of zombies' for me.. the last 2 episodes just go away from that. This series doesn't need this much fanservice to be awesome.
What annoys me the most out of the fanservice is that if one of the women as much as blinks their boobs bounce all over the place..
And before you ask, I'm hetero. I just don't get turned on at all nu animated girls.
Maybe my soul has been ruined by all the years of anime but i don't even notice the fanservice anymore
As a precaution you could always just watch an episode of Ladies vs Butlers or Seikon no Qwaser before watching HSOD so the fanservice looks pale in comparison
Say that again after this:Quote:

Or between? Or over? Or any other way one can navigate their way through a few pieces of string? What's interesting is that those wires don't look improvised at all. The wall they attach to would even suggest they're built for that purpose. (but I see no reason why that should be the case).
Boobs needs to learn how to drive. Seriously.
And someone will have to tell me how a jeep can cross water like that. The water can't be less than 2m deep.
Loli-girl annoyed me plenty as well. The others are trying to make some noisy distraction, but cry your head off why don't you? (The fact that she's a girl and had her dad die makes this behaviour understandable, but no less annoying).
Looks like Komuro will get to spend some quality one-on-one with Saeko. HELL YEAH!!
There was something seriously wrong with the whole fight. I like the over the top fighting of the previous eps, but this one had major issues. Those that Bill already mentioned (although I guess those wires were barbed even if the studio had decided to draw few of the barbs) plus the general pacing. It felt like it took forever for being such a simple confrontation, and it wasn't just for artistic purposes.
I take back what I said earlier about boobie-nurse. I thought she was good for driving but apparently she manages to fail even at that, despite the streets being empty of all other traffic. Some trudging zombies she didn't even need to avoid considering the car they were using hardly should have mattered. She plainly sucks and that's it.
Oh, well, maybe the next episode will be better with plenty of Saeko service...
The fanservice pissed me off the most in this episode; it just killed every bit of suspense/entertainment that had built up.
Was the pantyshot necessary with the bullet, and the bullet passing through tits!??!? What the FUCK?! Was he trying to kill Saeko? >.<
Rofl....series needs to decide wheter its a comedy or something with more substance. -_-
Man her boobs must have been moving at such a high speed for the bullet to pass through them. She's not longer human!
okay, before reading anyone else´s comments:
lolwtf!!!??!
This show has now officially been ruined by fan-service. I can no longer watch this as a zombie-anime. Now, it´s just some tits-anime. THE BULLET FLEW THROUGH BETWEEN HER JIGGLING TITS!!!
Aside from the fan-service, did Komuro try to kill Saeko when he aimed those bullets or what XD
And the whole battle-scene didnt feel right. In previous episodes, they overcame hundreds of zombies. And now they´re like the biggest dumbasses ever. Komuro says "at least we can die together", instead of getting another gun or a bat or doing whatever. Rei cannot stand up anymore for some reason. Takagi decides to leave the jeep, when she could have just shot through an open window or gone up to where Hirano was. And Saeko says "yes I know", when someone says there´s too many of them...well, Saeko never had a problem with that many zombies before.
That becomes even more ridiculous, when suddenly they start running through all of the zombies to get to the other side. Now that´s possible? wtf.And dont even get me started on sensei´s driving. Had she just stopped in a normal way, they could have turned and taken a different path....sigh...
And where´s Hirano super-fantasy-shotgun? He could have killed most of the zombies by himself...
sigh sigh sigh
Much of the gun related things in this episode probably can be explained by the sad fact that probably 0.1% of the Japanese citizens have ever held a gun in their hands, much less shot with one. And those rare who have, aren't even relatives of the ones responsible for composing this annoying travesty of a fight.
Haha. I was also thinking Komuro tried to kill Saeko on purpose. Not seeing shit would have been explained by having a scope but his rifle had iron sights so he should have seen perfectly where he was aiming. And apparently he was aiming at a partner. A nice fellow to have to guard your back. I wonder if Saeko will survive the next episode...
This was the worst episode so far. Why could they not just jump the wire barrier and bash the zombies as they came up? Why not drive through the barrier? It's like all the characters just went full retard this episode.
Bulle through jiggling boobs, i laughed my ass off. Einstein would look upon this anime's physics and weep like a baby.
Whatever, Saeko focused episode next week so who gives a fuck this one made no sense whatsoever?
PS: Wonderful news everyone, the anime is now officially going off on its own and changing events from the manga... prepare for awesome filler content...
Get it right! Good news everyone!~
The other part that got to me almost as bad was Komuro's line, "at least we'll die together" out of nowhere. Wtf......
Using boobs as sandbags to stabilize the gun after recoil......... this just got really ridiculous after the last couple of episodes.
Aside from the bullet passing through boobs... I really don't see a problem with the rest of the episode. I don't get the hate. Probably because I read this years ago.
Have you guys noticed, though, that the most ridiculous scenes feature Saeko? Next episode will be a pain to watch. They keep making up scenes for Saeko and they end up being ridiculous.
But she has so many awesome ones to balance it out. :o
http://hosting01.hotchyx.com/adult-i...hedead08la.jpg
That's an animation problem from the anime studio. The manga version had more realistic wire, the kind you'd see over fences all over town. Some of the zombie's even were ripped to shreds when the hummer (or whatever they are driving) bumped zombies into it.
I keep seeing her scenes as ridiculous. Last episodes scene in the manga, on top of the vehicle, had her crouching as they began to hit Zombies. She never staid standing. Nor she jumped down to fight. Her character was already broken on the manga and they broke her even more in the anime.
I'll stop the manga comparisons now. I just can't take Saeko seriously.
I. LOVE. THIS. SHOW.
No problems with the fanservice at all, in fact, the more the better! :D
Next ep with even more Saeko awesomeness, fuck yeh!!
so, is this episode from gg watchable? i wanted to get the tmd version, but i dont know where to get it...
Are you seriously saying panty shots from the little girl? I don't know how I feel about that.
Matrix titties...good lord.
I'm not disappointed with the loli. I didn't want any fanservice from her, and thus it's good not too much of it was included, and otherwise she reacted to stuff pretty much like you'd imagine a kid would. And I appreciated she didn't want to be left alive alone with the rest of them dying - just as much as I unappreciated Komuro already giving up before he noticed the rifle Rei was carrying.
I still hope, though, that there will be some use for the loli and she's not just baggage. Just as much as I hope they will never again leave driving to the boobie-nurse.
Are we really NOT expecting some loli-shots in next episode?! (ok, maybe in the ep after that, due to the next one being Saeko-centric)
It´s inevitable at that point :/
Maybe the little girl's mother has some useful skill to add to the group, if she still lives, and if/when they ever meet up with her.
The girl herself seems pretty useless except maybe when used for some form of comedic effect.
Little girl, dog and matrix fanservice needs to go. -_-
My two cents.
I laughed more than I should have when I saw these matrix scenes, I really couldn't believe it.
Personally i loved every bit of jiggly slow-motion goodness ^_^
Man, when this show comes out in 1080p Blu-ray.... glorious!
Fixed ;)
It's not out yet, but when it is, you can get it here:Quote:

I actually watched the Funi rip this time, so I don't know what gg did to it.
Bullat time jiggly!!! Is that the correct "jiggly" for that type of material? The shock wave propagation on the set, seemed like silicone rather than actual lymphatic content and muscle.
Surprising, they dont have massive aoe damage packed in. Grenade launcher? Flame thrower!!!!
Why they did not take extra gasoline and make Molotov's Cocktails? it would save them - just one would be enough.
Yeah because the fire would only hurt the zombies right? Humans are immune to it...
The whole "they only attack when they hear you" is stupid anyway. So let´s say your loud, they come for you. So what? Just get quiet again, and you should be safe. As could be seen in ep 2 or 3, our heroes had no problems walking mere centimeters next to some zombies, simply because they kept quiet.
In conclusion: You can only be attacked when you constantly make noise. Somehow, though, the series doesnt give a fuck about its own rules.
Haha. Did this really look like a series that would give a fuck about rules, even those set by itself?
The whole noise thing is quite ambiguous, but I think the most important thing about it is not to gain the zombies' attention in the first place. If you have done that, becoming silent afterwards seems to be of limited use. The zombies seem to remember noise was coming from somewhere, and once alerted they could be more sensitive to even quiter noises, even breathing or heart beats from closeby (since they have neither themselves, probably).
They should get like backpacks full of those small assault/rape alarms, those things that are small enough to fit on a keyring and when you pull a little spring or whatever, they make a repeating insanely loud noise.
Everytime you run into a bunch of zombies just pop one of those and throw it in whatever direction.
So far they haven't made an overly arduous effort to get much of anything. They only got the weapons and the humvee because boobie-nurse's friend happened to have them. Otherwise they certainly haven't gone out of their way to gather equipment.
No, humans are not immune to fire - but when molotovs were properly deployed they could save them - just throw one BEHIND zombie group - noise from crashing bottle and fire should get their attention and they should walk into fire. Even loud cellphone and alarm clock would be more useful than guns... they could even improvise molotov right on spot - get glass bottle(i bet they have one of them) fill it with fuel from car - and let it burn.
Boob physics4epicwins? ":D
A surprisingly boring, un-eventful episode. Saeko´s sudden "omg, look at me, im so mad!"-scene was kind of embarrassing to watch. And it was kinda ridiculous when her top got wet and she covered her bra with her hands...as if she hasnt shown far more skin in previous episodes. oh well.
LOLWUT?!
This episode was plain weird, in more of a bad way than good.
As "hot" as this episode may have objectively been, it felt like HOTD has ran out of steam.
(though, it'd no doubt be back when inelegant censoring is needed)
I'd accept her darkness anyday!
I found this episode a lot better than the previous one. Though I admit I'm not totally oblivious to what Mfauli and Bill were talking about. However, some elements made it better for me, and in fact I liked Saeko's darkness because it had certainly been hinted of before. Too bad her character seemed somewhat inconsistent in the episode, but then again, if I really wanted to find reasons, it could be explained by her being alone with Komuro.
Saeko finally getting a real sword was the best part of the episode.
If i had to guess i'd say there was a variation of this episode in the manga but at a later date which would explain why the revelation on Saeko's madness sounds logical but somewhat rushed
I personally liked the episode, i'm a Saeko fan so the action scene made my day along with the other sorts of fanservice we got to enjoy
I was watching this in the library, and the part where he randomly grabs her boob to motivate her made me laugh so hard.
But I love how they're all turned on by killing the zombies.
This episode was bullshit.
Why the fuck do they return to the river when they get the vehicle? Just take another path. Komuro knows the streets because of Takagi's house.
Then he says "we should rest here, so I'll take first watch". Two minutes later they say "okay, lets go"
Then they abandon the vehicle on the fountain to make noise, so the zombies leave them alone and they can run. So... why the fuck did Saeko had to fight zombies then?
And Komuro began the series being a jealous bastard and saying how much he 'loved' Miyamoto, then he pulls this?
pretty stupid way for Komuro to act...
As if enjoying violence is such a sin, she obviously has the restraint not to beat everyone up for the kicks. Rapists/molesters deserve such pain. He should've just told her thát, instead of that whole pretending to love her crap.
A rapist deserving such a fate has nothing to do with the issue. Telling Saeko that could have only made the matters worse because Saeko seems like an intelligent person and might have spotted such empty platitudes.
The core issue was that to her dismay Saeko found she likes violence and thus ended up considering herself dirty and unworthy of any man (any decent man worth loving). What better way to show her that's not true than loving her?
I don't think Komuro has the wits to ever become half a quantum physicist but following his dick might have been the best choice even logically.
Filler? No wonder I couldn't even finish this episode. Time to abandon this series.
Funniest thing is that this episode isn't filler at all. It's 100% manga content just shown out of order. It's kind of funny, but the whole boob grab/motivation thing came across as just as ridiculous in the anime as it did in the manga.
Remember this isn't about realism it's essentially a harem story with zombies on the side.
