Characters alone is not a problem with High School of the Dead, the issue lies somewhere intrinsically to the setting. I mean, even if the characters are the most generic and mundane kind in history, if they are utilized and developed correctly within the narrative, it would be quite a unique take to examine such characters under a setting they normally would not take part in. However, even if it is the case that the characters are just the same model in a different skin, I do not find that alone to be a problem. Though, we could see some deliberate implementation of tropes that cater towards the mainstream demographic. That is not to say that the characters are carbon copies of existing character types just with different faces and hairs, as they are given some form of distinction, either through backstories or just odd personal quirks. The main cast is nothing out of the ordinary, and each of them have character traits we can easily identify, especially if you have watched anime for some time honestly, quite an expected group of people when we talk about anime. High School of the Dead follows the main protagonist Komuro Takashi and his group of survivors, which consists of fellow schoolmates, the school nurse, a young girl and a dog whom they saved, as they attempt to break through the zombie hoard and locate their families. The High School of the Dead anime came at a pretty good time, with people craving for anything zombie, and is one of the only anime as far as I remember that deals with the traditional zombie apocalypses and zombies, instead of just having characters being “reanimated” and forgetting about the “dead body” part. There was a time when zombies were the entire craze, and managed make its way into almost every form of popular culture. The reviews will be relatively short, but I will try to spark some insights.

So here, I decided to take a look at some of the prequels, giving you my opinion on them, hopefully to spark some discussion, and to provide or facilitate enough tools for anime enthusiasts to use when deciding what anime to watch. With the new anime season inbound, there is a good amount of sequels, or related anime, coming our way, some garnering a lot of attention and praise, while some falling off the radar. One week has already passed since the new anime season, and with this season sporting around a dozen sequels, were there any discussion threads that sparked your interests but are unsure of whether or not you should invest time in watching the prequels? Here, I decided to post a couple of reviews from my blog of said prequels, which hopefully can aid you in making a better informed decision. My blog posts anime recommendations, reviews, and spotlights. Hello, Arks here, and I write stuff about anime.
