As an avid fan of sci-fi & horror films for almost 50 years, I've come to dislike the overdone "zombie" genre. HOTD put an interesting little spin on it. In spite of any shortcomings it was never boring. If Nurse Dipweed got killed off early it would have been better. That yappy little mutt was no help either. A few of my musings on the series here: http://jaysteevee.blogspot.com/2010/12/not-so-hotd.html As an “anarchistic gun loving redneck” I rather liked the show in spite of the excessive “fan service”.

It is interesting, fun, and above all unique in an enviroment saturated with one formula title after another. I watched the first 2 episodes and was unsure whether I was goign to finish it, but once I started to get interested in all the quirky characters I found myself waiting more and more anxiously for each new episode. While I can't point out any particular aspect that makes HSOTD stand out, as a whole I think its great.

We can never be both. But yea definitely though there has never really been a case where they have been both before. Perhaps in the future, but elf doooesn't count!! Back to HotD, it appears to be a good anime(first zombie genre?), but imo I think their just gonna screw up the ending and everything just goes downhill and it becomes another crap anime. But we shall see. ^^ Actually… as you know from WoW lore Sylvannas Windrunner was originally a high elf; that makes undead humans perma slow and stupid. We can never be both.

Always good fun to check out this site and see either an endorsement or biting review of some sort. And I'm pretty sure tonnes of people have said this but; HotD= (L4D2 - one guy + three chicks + boobz)^ (1HP of characters - Special Infected + headshots only) Formula probably could be improved. Yay, you’re back!!

I also hate the constant fan service. The manga made it less distracting and actually.... Or perhaps it is just because it is in color and better created with SFX.... Either way the manga format seems to benefit the story better. The manga is much better simply because I found the manga funnier and didn’t have such a horrible OP song.
