User blog comment:Donutsonfire/What made you attracted to Highschool of the Dead?/@comment-121.217.58.71-20111231133242

I'm a huge zombie fan. I've probably seen every zombie released in the last 10 years, and non of them compare to HOTD. For the first time the main character handle the situation smartly and calm-headed. (I can't remember the number of times I've yelled at a movie for doing something really stupid.....Dawn of the dead is an excellent example of this.)

I love how it incorporated both horror and ecchi, giving it the sense that anything could happen either sexually or horrifically. With that said, I think they could turn down the ecchi just a litte. I'm ok with it in the manga but it just gets a bit ridiculous in the anime. But this, in no way, I don't hate it. Infact, I love it; Its one of my favourite animes of all time. Its right up there with Death Note.

I guess what ultimately brought me into the world of HOTD was Kohta Hirano. I can easily identify with him. A guy who is pretty useless until the zombiocalypse happen - then he just owns. That, and we both have the hots for Saya :P
