Directed by Tetsurō Araki at Madhouse, Highschool of the Dead adapts Daisuke Satō and Shōji Satō’s manga about a high school suddenly overrun by a zombie outbreak, following a small group of students and a school nurse who fight and flee their way across a collapsing city. The 12-episode series leans hard into gratuitous horror and fan service alongside its survival-action plot, drawing reviews that praised its committed genre execution but knocked its thin characterization; its explicit content later got it named among dozens of titles China banned in 2015.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
