Re: Anime: Highschool of the Dead
Does there happen to be any dubbed versions floating about?

That sounds like it would be awesomealthough i've got premier pro i could just redub it for you, although then it would consist of nothing but quotes from the movie flash Gordon.
Actually, the series was licensed to be dubbed BEFORE it even aired in Japan. The manga is set to release in English from Yen Press January 4th, and Sentai Filmworks will be distributing the English version in America (Madman Entertainment will be distributing it in Australia and New Zealand).Does there happen to be any dubbed versions floating about?
The violence and action sequences are great, and I really like some of the characters. Some have gone from me not liking to liking over the six episodes, and some I just sit back and shake my head at as they're there for nothing more than gratuitous sexual tension. Sure in some parts the sexuality works, in other parts it just seems really out of place and thrown in.
Makes sense for the audience yes. I'm simply saying that in some scenes it detracts from the story. For me. Yeah I enjoy my gratuitous sexuality once in awhile, I'd be a lying if I said I didn't. However, I don't want it all the time to the point where I can't take characters seriously because they're entire point is T/A. Those characters annoy me, especially when it's very possible to have a character I really like and have sequences that are just showcasing their sexuality. Like Saeko. She's got to be my favorite character and in the end of the Episode 6 they had her in pretty much nothing, but she still has some depth and mystery about her as a character. Vs. the Doctor.It's like that because the author demanded it be that way - the guy did hentai, after all. =P
The Nurse gets her character worth a bit later on - she is very skilled in medical needs, physical and mental, the latter of which shows itself most clearly in her interactions with Alice (these will begin in episode 7), and also in chapter 26 with Kouta. And as for Saeko XP that apron shot of her is one of the most oft-drawn images of this series; there are at least twenty renditions of it.Makes sense for the audience yes.

Of course, this is just my opinion of the show, and I'm not really in the targeted demographic.
Making a rifle out of wood, tape, and a nail gun? I'm going to file that under 'Crazy Awesome'.I read a couple chapters someplace once, up to them evacuating the school I think. The fat guy's pretty awesome.
No? What chapter was that?Oh God, Kouta is by far the best chaarcter in the series in my opinion. And to make him even more awesome he's based off one of the better manga artists; Hellsings artist Kouta Hirano.
One question though; has the orgy bus chapter been made into an episode yet?
They're going at one chapter per episode, so right now we're at Episode 6/Chapter 6. However, they've been doing a LOT of buildup with Shido-sensei, so I have no doubt that we'll see that scene as the *cough* climax of his character development.One question though; has the orgy bus chapter been made into an episode yet?
I actually fucking hate that guy so damn much.They're going at one chapter per episode, so right now we're at Episode 6/Chapter 6. However, they've been doing a LOT of buildup with Shido-sensei, so I have no doubt that we'll see that scene as the *cough* climax of his character development.
