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.
The writers of this anime seem to think that senseless cliche anime sex appeal makes up for annoying, unimaginative writing. Basically just twelve episodes of arrogant kids arguing at the top of their lungs, with some zombies and pointless female nudity thrown into the mix. Add boring story, a full cast of characters that each individually manage to get on your nerves, and standard animation barely on par with any worthwhile anime and you get four and a half hours of wasted time and hard drive space.

If there were an award for "Most Tasteless Fanservice in Anime", Highschool of the Dead would win it. The senseless nudity and exploitation of women is an obvious attempt to appeal to the lowest form of human beings. Not that the plot itself is much better. It wasn't even enjoyable in a 'so bad it's good' way. It was just poorly written and generic, which is a shame because it could have atleast tried to be a decent horror anime.
