Re: Anime: Highschool of the Dead
You guys have spent pages adoring just how badass she is ;3 now when her bewbs go Matrix-badass, you complain?
Actually yes. Because bullet time tits does not equal bad ass. Especially if they are flopping at such a speed for them to cross in front of the bullet while it is between her breasts.
She herself is still a badass, but I feel that that scene was more damaging to the character than helping. I've so far been enjoying the series, and I even easily got over the naked bath thing because well... it's been one day, it's hard for high school students to suddenly ditch their need to be clean. However all that jiggling and panty shots were believable, more so than what I saw in this episode.
I spent pages adoring how bad ass she was because she was. I even like her new outfit, good solid boots, and the skirt is easy to move around in, and apparently she really likes skirts so I'll let it slide that apparently the military kick ass that owned the house has zero pants in her wardrobe. However, she doesn't even look like she's wearing a proper bra, and that would get rather uncomfortable with all those damn flips, jumps and running that she does.
When this series focuses on drama and combat it does really really well. If it dropped a chunk of its fan service, not all of it mind you just the needlessness of a lot of it, then it could be amazing.
As it stands, anime has proved once again why I am looking so very forward to the TV series based on Robert Kirkman's graphic novel "The Walking Dead", and also back on such directors as Zack Snyder (who managed to put in fan service as well), Danny Boyle, and to some extent George A. Romero (I've lost a lot of respect for that man after reading some of his interviews)
