A friend reccomended High School of the Dead to me recently, and I gave it a watch. He told me "I'd like it because of the zombies." I've watched 4 out of 12 episodes so far.

...

I swear to god, it's chock-full of unnecessary fan-service, and it's fucking brutal. I think it's a suitably terrifying mixture.

There's this one part where these two schoolgirl chicks are running and then they're like "Lol we're best friends so nothing can touch us as long as we stick together yaaay"

Five seconds later, one of the girls gets grabbed by a zombie and is being pulled down some stairs. They're still holding hands and all, so you'd think Girl numero uno would try to help her friend.

She's screaming for her friend to help her and the other girl's like "fuck no bitch" and kicks her face, sending her down the stairwell, zombies in tow.

Then, no less than three seconds later, she gets nommed by more zombies, screaming all the while.

There's this other part where a stereotypical bully is ranting about how this is all a dream (a phrase many would-be zombie treats often repeat before they become meals themselves) and how he's got to wake up and shout at all the freshmen.

Cue him jumping out of a window and onto the pavement.

I also like how they're being more 'scientific' with the zombies (or as scientific as you can get; they're zombies). Apparently the zombies detect people through vibrations. They're blind and deaf, and feel no pain, and like Romero's classical shufflers, they require a good head-bashing to put 'em down for good.

There's this one scene where these two kids perform a quick experiment. The girl wets towels, and throws them onto the zombie. No response from said ghoul. But when she throws a wet towel at a locker right beside the zombie, it starts running into the locker.

Out of all the cast, I really like this Kohta kid. He's a chubby nerd who is pretty cool in my book. He seems to be doing pretty well in the emotional department (hasn't seen any loved ones bitten, hasn't had to mercy kill any infectees, etc etc). When Little Ms. Superbitch (pink haired straight-A student named Takagi, that's my nickname for her) begins to doubt his usefulness, they duck into the place where they do wood shop and he improvises a nail-gun rifle. Cue awesomeness.

I swear to god I don't know what to think about this series. It's pretty brutal when it comes to deaths and such (I've lost count of all the One-Scene Wonders that pop up and die ~1 minute later) but all the main cast (women, anyways) have ridiculous amounts of fan service. The juxtaposition of inhumanly large boobs and panty shots with bloody, brutal head-bashing and moaning zombies biting the living fuck out of you is somewhat disturbing.

Anyways, does anyone know of any zombie anime/manga that aren't like this (in terms of fanservice)? I do like zombies...

There are good horror mangas you can read, like Kiseijuu, however I can't really think of any other zombie series besides High School of the Dead (which yes, has way too much fan service for me to read seriously).

Anywho, I've read 3 volumes of Pandora Hearts now and started volume 4.  Volume 4 onwards has a different scanlator team which is fine, but the first few volumes they do have some pretty crappy raws unfortunately.  As for the series itself, well, let's just say the flow of the plot is extremely disorienting.  I have no idea what's happening 80% of the time.  Although I have been enjoying that so far.

Another thing to note is I'm playing Higurashi daily again.  Meakashi is pretty good so far.  I like Satoshi a lot.

That is the one downfall of HSoD. Also, DON'T watch the OVA. It is all fanservice. And uncensored..

anyways, there aren't very many zombie animes. I'd also be interested in anything else anyone knows as well.

Also that one scene with the two girls is one of the scenes I always remember randomly for some reason xD

Holy shit.  I've been playing the Meakashi-hen game in Higurashi for the past few days and now since I've watched the first two arcs in the anime I finally understand the "preview" scene they show at the beginning of the 2nd arc.  Gog damn man.

Okay, finished Oreimo.
Not bad, altough not completely satisfying.
The should have made it longer, given more screentime to the side characters and actually not leave out the romance...

Moving right along to Toradora!.
The tsundere-personality seems more refined and genuine in there. Not that I'm a great fan of it, but at least it's less annoying...

Only few animes seem to have non-stereotypic and realistic characters nowadays...

Still, point taken.

True.
I realize it's on purpose. But still, every now and then more complex characters, "people like us" if you wish, could be starring.

That is mostly because cartoons and anime are really mass produced. really REALLY mass produced.

It is what I realised after watching Jem and the Holograms.
