High School of the Dead – 04
by noobiesnack on Jul.26, 2010, under First Impression, HSOTD
Only 4 episodes in and we already have a recap episode. Not a whole lot really happens this week as a result of the recap so this post will be fairly short. I do have some sad news though, it seems the Guild Master of my World of Warcraft guild has demanded I play and paid to renew my account. I will try to remember what day it is and try to remember to watch stuff when it is posted instead of at 4am when I log off and realize ‘Oh yeah, that’s right! new HSOTD today!’.
Basically, the entire episode was spent summarizing the previous 3 episodes. While I like recaps, this one seems a little too early and it just seems like a waste of time. I still get the feel they are trying to give and they certainly went on to support it by showing an entire few minutes of nothing but them killing zombies to escape the school. Outside of that, the scene I was curious as to how it was going to be pulled off happened. I kind of like how he suddenly charges up to the dude, points the gun, then pulls the trigger. It was much better seeing this animated than it was while reading the manga. Also, him breaking the register for money was just funny. He was definitely enjoying beating the ever living crap out of an inanimate object to get money from it.
By the looks of the previews, we are moving into introducing the new characters. I swear by the time this series is over we are going to be introduced to and have killed off so many characters its going to get hard to count them. I am not sure if the group is going to get reunited next week or not but I am expecting it soon.
