This anime is just fun to watch, if you can stand the fanservice. Highschool of the Dead is fun to watch because it's over the top style and it's sincerity toward the schlock that it is. The love triangle between Takashi, Saeko, and Rei is fascinating, and has provided a lot of fuel to the fires of Takashi/Saeko vs. Takashi/Rei. It's mindless and stupid, but it's mindless and stupid in the same vein as 300 or Independence Day are mindless and stupid. The animation is very stylish and flashy, which I liked. The characters are developed OK, but the writing is kind of crappy in the dub, with lots of swearing. With regards to the fanservice, I wasn't offended and it didn't cross the line for me into sexism. There is a certain line where fanservice turns into sexism, and for me, it didn't cross it. All around, a fun, enjoyable anime.
