A mysterious, lethal disease is on the loose worldwide, resulting in a catastrophic death rate of humanity, and the increasing rise of attacks, caused by the living dead.
In Japan, several high school students and a school nurse have banded together to escape Fujimi High School shortly after it was attacked by zombies. The group now attempts to figure who or what was responsible for this plague, and in the meantime, attempt to survive the present apocalypse.
The story is initially narrated through the eyes of Takashi Komuro, one of the students who had survived in the initial outbreak. |

I felt this series had a great opportunity to divert from the manga roots and go down a less fan-service-filled story but alas, they've opted to pretty much do a panel-for-panel adaptation. The fan service certainly gets excessive and detracts from the main plot or any attempt at character development. Besides the annoyances like the overly bouncy breasts of the female characters (who at one point have their breasts used as a stabiliser for a sniper rifle) there are some fun and cool moments in each episode.
