Highschool of the Dead


Being a huge zombie fan this one caught my eye immediately.

Highschool of the Dead is set in the present day 2010 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" .



The story follows a group of high school students, the high school's nurse, and a young girl as they fight their way to safety through the deadly streets of Japan during 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.


I enjoyed this Anime very much. It can go from creepy to pretty much scary and from funny to quite sad. Apart from it's reputation as 'a bit on the Hentai side' which it hardly is, 12 episodes later, like me you will be wishing that they had made more!

Blue Gender


This has to be one of my all-time favs.

Although 13 years old now, Blue Gender is completely unique. Haven't found many other reviews of this because i don't think many people know of it.


Yuji Kaido is an average young adult male diagnosed with a serious disease (the "B-cells") and is put into cryogenic stasis until a cure is found. Twenty-two years later, he is awakened in the midst of a raging battle between armoured soldiers and insectoid beings called the "Blue" which have overrun the Earth.


Incredibly creepy at times, Blue Genders music fits perfectly giving this Anime a horror atmosphere. You can really connect with all the characters.


Sad to say it is rather underrated :(. But i hope i can change that!

No matter what sort of Anime fan you are this is bound to keep you watching!
