High School Of Dead Episode 12

Plot[edit]

Highschool of the Dead is set in present-day Japan, beginning as the world is struck by a deadly pandemic that turns humans into zombies, euphemistically referred to by the main characters as 'Them' (奴らYatsu-ra). The story follows a group of high school students and the school's nurse as they deal with a worldwide catastrophic event known as the 'Outbreak'. As the cast tries to survive the zombie apocalypse, they must also face the additional threats of societal collapse, in the form of dangerous fellow survivors, and the possible decay of their own moral codes. Starting from the high school, the students escape into town where they must deal with a corrupt teacher and his students. They check their homes for survivors, and pick up a little girl and a dog. Later, they hold up at a mall, travel through a police station, and eventually make their way to an elementary school that is supposedly a safe zone.

Manga[edit]

Highschool Of Dead Episode 1 Dub

Written by Daisuke Satō and illustrated by Shōji Satō, Highschool of the Dead began serialization in the September 2006 issue of Fujimi Shobo's manga magazineMonthly Dragon Age. The manga went on hiatus from 2008 to 2010, but after March 2011, only one more chapter was released in April 2013.[3][4][5] The series was left unfinished following Daisuke Satō's death on March 22, 2017.[6] Fujimi Shobo and Kadokawa Shoten published seven tankōbon volumes from March 1, 2007 and April 25, 2011 in Japan.[7][8]

Shortly following the inception of the series and before it was licensed for distribution in English, the manga became popular enough in English via scanlation to draw the attention of the creators, who included a message in English within the magazine's printing of the fifth chapter that requested readers to buy the original manga when it is available.[15] The manga was later licensed in North America by Yen Press,[16] and the first volume was released on January 25, 2011.[17] The series is also published in Spain by Glénat España,[18] in Germany by Carlsen, in Italy, Brazil, Mexico and Colombia by Panini Comics, in Canada and France for French-language publication by Pika Édition, in Poland by Waneko,[19] and in Taiwan by Kadokawa Media.

In 2018, an interview with Shouji Sato (artist of the Manga) and the editor Kawanakajima (pseudonym), it has been confirmed that the series was cancelled and won't be resumed ever. The author of the serie, Daisuke Sato became sick in 2008, which made the production of the manga really hard.

For the anime adaptation, Chris Beveridge from Mania.com comments on the first episode, 'There's a lot to like here if you're looking for something beyond the usual high school dramas and comedies of the last few years.'[50] Carlo Santos of Anime News Network states that, 'Other recent zombie works in Western entertainment have tried to play it ironic, or postmodernist, or just plain silly, but this one goes for straight-up horror—and pulls it off admirably.'[51] However, Zac Bertschy, also of Anime News Network, states for this episode that, 'It just could've easily been written by a script generator or a horror fan with 19 minutes to kill.'[52]

Andy Hanley of the UK Anime Network summaries the first manga volume as: 'Nothing ground-breaking here, but a volume of mindless fun that brings all of the gory entertainment of a zombie apocalypse to the printed page.'[53] Chris Lanxon of Wired UK praises its production quality despite having no single original element.[54]

At San Diego Comic-Con 'Best and Worst Manga of 2011' panel, it was listed among the 'Worst Manga' in a series of rapid-fire questions.[55]

Dead

In March 2015, the Chinese Ministry of Culture announced a crackdown on sites hosting overly-violent or sexual anime content, with Highschool of the Dead being singled out as an example due to its sexual content; the Ministry described it as 'borderline-pornographic'.[56] On June 12, 2015, the Chinese Ministry of Culture listed Highschool of the Dead among 38 anime and manga titles banned in China.[57]

The gang find themselves on a remote tropical island, supposedly free of zombies. While the girls have some fun on the beach, Kohta finds some fish while Takashi locates some leaves for a fire. However, these leaves turn out to be hydrangea leaves, the smoke from which cause everyone to start having strange sexual hallucinations. Takashi is led away by who he imagines is Saeko, who he then proceeds to imagine to make love with. Meanwhile, Shizuka imagines Saya to be her friend Rika, while Saya imagines her to be her mother. Saya imagines the two bathe each other, while Shizuka imagines they are in bed. When Saya comes to, she is found lying on Shizuka. She then sees Rei and Saeko kissing each other, imagining that each other was Takashi. She also sees Kohta, still in his bathing suit, dry-humping a broom, repeatedly calling it a revolution. They then all agree that it was all just an illusion, and that none of it really happened. They later go to find Takashi on his own, holding off four zombies in his sleep, dreaming that each was one of the girls wanting to make love with him. After the credits, it is explained that there was a tunnel connecting the island to the mainland, hence explaining why the zombies were able to reach the island.
