Summary:
A mysterious, lethal disease is on the loose worldwide, resulting in a catastrophic death rate of humanity, and the increasing rise of attacks, caused by the living dead.
In Japan, several high school students and a school nurse have banded together to escape Fujimi High School shortly after it was attacked by zombies. The group now attempts to figure who or what was responsible for this plague, and in the meantime, attempt to survive the present apocalypse.
The story is initially narrated through the eyes of Takashi Komuro, one of the students who had survived in the initial outbreak.
I found this to be such an interesting anime when i watched it. I was at first a little hesitant to watch it based on the name itself "Highschool of the dead" solely because latley everything these days has zombies in it. That said however, it's really good to be wrong sometimes. I watched this from start to finish and i've come to respect it a lot as an anime. Being thrown into the story like this was an epic journey for me as I felt as if I was there with the cast trying to survive this ordeal.
One thing I noticed in particular is how well they have expanded on the characters background during the episodes. I liked learning more about where they came from, what their lives were like before the ordeal and how they as a group of students have become closer and more protective of one another.
