Line 26:
** The [[Updated Rerelease|rerelease]] of the manga in full color can be seen as this too, Shouji Sato is known for making many of his [[Hentai|works]] in full color, likewise the colored version of the series is also made by him.
* [[Badass]]: Practically a bare minimum survival requirement.
** [[Back
** [[Badass Army]]: The army is shown to actually be very competent in fighting the zombies. The greatest example can be seen in Chapter 24, when Japanese commandos take advantage of their superior tech and helicopter support to {{spoiler|rescue the mall survivors}}.
** [[Badass Crew]]: Komuro's coterie becomes this.
Line 56:
'''Saya:''' Yeah, ok. Get in the car! }}
* [[Bullet Time]]: Happens a lot in the anime whenever guns are involved. [[Rule of Cool|Taken to a ridiculous extreme in Episode 8]] when Takashi fires various rounds that manage to pass [[Gainaxing|between Saeko's thighs and breasts]].
* [[But What About the Astronauts?]]: The crew of the ISS are shown watching the situation below unfold.
* [[Car Fu]]: Zombies get mowed down several times over the course of the series.
* [[Car Skiing]]: Episode 12 of the anime adaptation has the group escaping the overrun mansion in the Humvee. To get past the barricades, the Humvee leans so far over it nearly tips.
Line 71:
* [[Dangerous Windows]]: Zombies several times have made surprise entrances from breaking through windows to get to the survivors.
* [[Daylight Horror]]: How the series starts.
* [[Did They or Didn't They?]]: Invoked by episode 9 of the anime. This and episode 8 are where the anime deviated from the original manga. The [[Shut Up Kiss]] between {{spoiler|Takashi and Saeko}} was not shown in the manga, if it had happened at all.
** There is a fairly subtle hint (in the anime) that more may have gone on between them - as the pair exit the Temple the next morning, {{spoiler|Saeko}} is ''adjusting'' [http://www.worstanimereviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/072-komuro-and-saeko.jpg her underwear and her skirt in the background.]
* [[Disaster Democracy]]
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Rei was martyred academically for her father's attempts at busting political corruption. This makes her so mad she almost executes the man responsible, which itself would be reasonable in her situation.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]:
** [http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/08/24/fellatio-of-the-dead/ Saeko waking up on Takashi's lap, with some saliva dripping down her mouth]. [[NSFW]].
** Shizuka applying lotion to Rei's back while Takashi holds her down awfully close to his crotch.
Line 113:
* [[Fan Service]]: Loads of it.
** Chapter 23's extra story seems to exist for no other purpose than to expressly point out that every single girl in the cast is ridiculously hot, and that if her mom is anything to judge by, Alice will be too if she grows up.
** The [[Beach Episode]] OVA has beaten out the [[Furo Scene|Furo Episode]] for brazenly gratuitous Fanservice and indulgent [[Author Appeal]] to the point of [[Self
* [[First
** Saeko starts calling Takashi by his first name, much to Rei's [[Love Triangle|chagrin]].
** Saya wants Takashi to call her by her first name, but he usually doesn't manage it.
** During the clinic raid, Asami asked Kohta to call her by her first name.
* [[Five
** [[The Hero]]: Takashi. With a splash of pragmatism to separate him from your standard "utterly average Japanese kid" fare.
** [[The Lancer]]: Rei, [[A Worldwide Punomenon|complete with spear.]]
Line 128:
* [[Gainaxing]]: From the artist of the original manga: "The animation studio says they're making the characters' boobs jiggle with no mercy, so the fans should be able to rest easy." Combined with [[Bullet Time]] in one scene!
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Everyone is quite aware that they are in the midst of a Zombie Apocalypse, even if they are pointedly ''[[Not Using the Z Word]]'', and act accordingly.
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]:
** After Hirano suffers a [[Heroic BSOD]] from {{spoiler|having to kill Asami, Shizuka}} steps up to break him out of it.
** {{spoiler|Saya}} had also given him a bright slap immediately prior to that which also counts.
Line 148:
* [[Hello Nurse]]: Shizuka was the school nurse.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Used to subvert the [[Adults Are Useless]] trope - adults can fight just as competently, if not more so, and even sacrifice themselves so that the protagonists can live on. Even the guy who [[Redemption Equals Death|tried to rape Shizuka.]]
* [[High
* [[Hollywood Silencer]]: Averted when Hirano hands an MP5 over to Saya, warning that even with a suppressor, any shots will still be audible enough to be heard by "Them".
* [[Honor Before Reason]]:
Line 159:
** Kiriko Miyamoto, Rei's mother.
* [[Hot Teacher]]: Kyoko Hayashi, the Ping Pong Club's advisor. Her glasses add a [[Hot Librarian]] appeal.
* [[I Cannot Self
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Replacing a word in a famous title or name with "dead", eg. "The Good, The Bad, And the Dead".
* [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!]]: In the OVA, the ladies use this tactic to get Takashi and Kohta to gather food for them.
* [[Implausible Hair Color]]: There is a rather large percentage of blond and brown-hairs in the cast. More so than in [[Real Life]] Japan, at any rate. These, at least, are natural hair colors. The same can not be said of pink-haired Saya.
* [[Improvised Weapon]]: A given due to the setting, including but not limited to broom handles, power drills, and drip stands.
Line 179:
** The survivors in the city who attacked Takashi and Rei. They were a bit off.
** Two mall survivors descended into mad laughter, with one of them shanking the other.
* [[Lawyer
* [[Leaning On the Fourth Wall]]: Oftentimes some of the characters have claimed that the [[Zombie Apocalypse]] feels like it's from a movie or a [[Manga]].
* [[Let Us Never Speak of This Again]]: The results of the Funky Smoke {{spoiler|Shizuka and Saya waking up naked on top of each other, Saeko and Rei kissing each other in the nude thinking the other was Takeshi.}}
Line 223:
* [[Not Using the Z Word]]: "Them" is the word used for the undead in the story. An early character specifically says that they can't call them "zombies" or "the undead" because then it would be too much like, well, a fictional story.
** Played straight in the dub but there are a few slips.
* [[Nuke
* [[Obligatory Swearing]]: The countries in which the manga received a mature rating, decided to "prove" the rating by having the main characters swear more often, and of course by spewing the strong ones.
* [[Oddly Visible Eyebrows]]
Line 238:
** [http://www.citymanga.com/highschool_of_the_dead/chapter-1/10/ There is one] [http://www.citymanga.com/highschool_of_the_dead/chapter-1/11/ early subversion.]
* [[Power Walk]]: As the group prepared to escape the school.
* [[Precision F
* [[Ramp Jump]]: Done a couple times with Takashi on the bike. The first time occurred at the bridge where he and Rei reunited with the others. The second time occurred when he went off to save Alice. Both times involved use of [[Ramprovisation|improvised ramps]] and abuse of [[Slo Mo Big Air]].
* [[Reckless Gun Usage]]:
Line 284:
* [[Too Hot for TV]]
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Hirano goes from a nerdy, awkward doofus to Rambo once he gets his hands on some guns.
* [[Twelve
* [[Undead Child]]:
** The undead children Takashi and Saeko encounter in the park.
