Can it not be both? Though HotD didn't cross my mind, as I've never seen it. Tentative stuff was Bund, Sankarea, Jitsu Wa, and some one I've forgotten the name of that involved a fair amount of cat ears and a dad vampire with a pretty awesome goatee. Handful of others I've ran into but those were top of the head.

Fran was thought of but mostly discarded on the undead front. It guess it mostly slots in the same area, but it's a separate sort of thing t'me for some reason.

Because it's got the awesome subversion thing going on, but there are a ton of zombies (I want to say she started at least two zombie apocalypses) and other undead involved. HotD is super silly fanservice+zombies, and I don't think either has any sort of explanation. Just "HEY GUESS WHAT, ZOMBIES AND TITS!" from start to finish.

Mm... I guess, but I think it just never really seemed to me that FF focused on the undead angle, mebbe? Fran was more about mad science with the occasional reanimated monstrosity as a sort of intermittent side effect. More flesh golems and frankensteinian creations, less zombies and vampires and whatnot. Not so much undead as biology run vigorously amok. Some of the stuff definitely classified as undead but that angle was like... downplayed or somethin'. Along those lines, anyway. It's been a while since I read through Fran.

Yeah, they covered everything from zombies to aliens to fairies and elves and all other sorts of body horror you might want to name.

Reading "Liar Game" right now, good stuff, always wanted to learn how to be a manipulative chess master, and the best thing about this one is, it explains its machinations after they're completed so forehead scratching doofuses like myself can understand the plotting. 

Trying to intellectually follow these sort of things is like trying to figure out the criminal in a Sherlock Holmes story; I try and try to dissect every piece of information given, then I give up and just enjoy the inevitable conclusion.

Watch both the Japanese and Taiwan live action version of it. They are both really good!

Thought he was talking about 'joker game'. Which was pretty average imo.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Hey, be fair, HotD was an excellent popcorn show. Shit was absurd. Way past "bad" and well into MST3Kable territory.

That, and despite all the flaws, at least the zeds were Romero-flavored slow-moving shoot-'em-in-the-head ones instead of another fast-zombie pile of trash.

I liked black blood brothers, to be fair to the "vampires in anime" trope

This has been driving me nuts, the preview music in each Berserk episode?

I figured out what it reminded me of!

Oh hey, that thing. The one single thing I actually found appealing about paranoia agent :V

Had it my playlists for... years. Many years. Very fun to whistle along with.

I liked the show once I figured out what was going on, and no, I have no fucking clue how to explain it to you.

None, not a bit.

huh

I still need to watch those. I've read probably a couple dozen fanfics that involved crossovers with it at this point, but I've still not seen any of the series itself :V
