BUENOS DIAS!
hey adamsm, I took your advice and watched the anime "Highschool of the dead", and here's a quick impression of it:
Aika still wins in terms of fanservice, but HOTD wins in terms of best show overall.
Come on man, HOTD does has a lot of fanservice and pantyshots, but NOWHERE NEAR AS MANY as Aika (its insane I tell ya, Aika must have over 60 on the first episode alone, you literally CAN'T COUNT 5 SECONDS without seeing at least 1 fanservice shot)
But HOTD is a much better show. For a start, it has a better plot and has a fantastic animation (seeing it was drawn by the same guys of Death Note, this is not surprising) it has one of the most
AWESOME OPENINGS EVER and I love how it borders the line between "Stock Zombie Apocalypse plot" and "realistic Zombie Apocalypse plot".
As a zombie enthusiast, I gotta say I enjoyed HOTD a lot, its like an anime version of a Romero movie set in japan. It also depicts VERY realistically guns in the setting, complete with their advantages, and limitations/disadvantages during a zombie holocaust.
It skirts the line between a realistic depiction of what would happen in a zombie crisis, and what would happen in a MOVIE zombie crisis. I liked most of the characters (The chubby kid is AWESOME) and did I mentioned how great the soundtrack was?
Aika may win when it comes to raw fanservice, but other than that, and the fact that its animation is also very good, the show simply can't stand to HOTD.
All in all, thanks for recomending that show to me bro', I've seen 6 episodes already and thoroughly enjoyed them.
(Specially the part were the chubby kid is killing zombies with an improvised nail-gun, asks the bratty "genius" girl to hand him more ammo, she goes all "HOW DARE YOU GIVE ME ORDERS?" and he turns around gives her the
SCARIEST FREAKKIEST SLASHER SMILE EVER (making the girl back down slightly freaked out) only to turn said slasher smile into a super-cute-kawaii smile (complete with bishie-sparkie effects) and say "pretty please (*^_^*)"
I nearly fell out of my chair at that part xD
