Fun fact: This was the first anime I ever watched as it aired, all on shitty dial-up through a third-party streaming source. I dont think this show is as bad as some people like to say, but I do think its pretty weak on the whole.

The first episode was great stuff, the kind of despair antics you expect out of zombie fiction. Its a bit played out, but its at least fun to watch. But somewhere along the lines, the show decides it kinda wants to be softcore porn, and honestly, past the first few episodes, I dont really remember much beyond the weird ecchi scenes and the fact that all of the characters are one-dimensional and kind of annoying. It never strays away from showing gore or skin, which I suppose is commendable, but its not as easy to stomach a generic survival plot if one or the other feels like its getting in the way. And considering the first thing that comes to mind for me is the boob dodging stuff, its probably a sign of me losing interest in what the story was trying to accomplish.

Overall, I dont think HotD was wanting to be taken seriously, but it didnt relay that very well. If it just wanted to be a stupid-fun action show with sexual content, then maybe it shouldve cut the stuff that makes it seem like its going for a more serious plotline in the beginning. I was 16 at the time, so this shit actually felt pretty interesting, and to see it turn so heavily into ecchi was a bit annoying.
