High School of the Dead Ova: Drifters of the Dead [Blu-ray]

Not what I thought, it was only a 30ish minute short.

I just finished binge watching High School of the Dead: Drifters of the Dead and I enjoyed it and the discs themselves worked perfectly. It is my personal opinion that High School of the Dead is one of the best Anime/Manga series with a Zombie Apocalypse as it's setting in the story.

I was lucky enough to purchase this item at a discount. Being a fan of the series and while the anime is on hiatus decided to purchase it. I don't have the item in front of me, so can not give an exact time length. If I had to guess, I would say ten or so minutes. I thought it was well done and a nice addition to my collection. It did leave me wanting to see more. I can sum the plot up with a few words, island, "magic mushrooms and some hallucination's. Done well.

I didn’t realize this was only like 20 minutes and was expecting more than what was shown. But overall it was nice to watch, I probably wouldn’t purchase it again.

This OVA is not about zombies, but FAN-SERVICE, FAN-SERVICE, FAN-SERVICE!! Our heroes end up on a deserted island after the events of the first season of HOTD. All of the characters` personalities remain true and the humor is more ecchi than ever before.The creators also made a smart move by bringing back the original opening song from the first season and created a new ending song for this OVA (Again, the music is AWESOME).Despite these praises, I can only recommend this to fans of the first season of HOTD. Please don't buy this Blu-ray until after you've watched the first season. This is a great addition to any anime collection, especially if you own the first season of HOTD.SPOILER ALERT!This OVA ended with "To Be Continued." Will we finally see a second season of HOTD?? Only time will tell...Please show your support!Thanks for reading!

It is not an ending but it is all we will get since the series ended so abruptly.

After watching H.O.T.D, I thought this would be a side story to the series.I thought there would be more then one episode but there isn't.The crew finds themselves on a small island. How and when they got there isn't really explained or ties in with the first series. I am only on the 5th volume of the Manga and it isn't there either. I am told a break comes up later on.As I mention break; this is basically what goes on for the story. It's a break from the running, fighting and hiding. We get to see the girls in as little as possible for the traditional beach scene.There is also a situation with hallucinations that follow a sexual nature so this is NOT kid friendly.Overall I am mixed on this one. I would like to see more but will probably wait to see if there is a series set. As to following the first series; this is not needed as it doesn't really follow or add to it. It's more of a diversion.I am not sure it's worth the amazon price as all you get is the one episode and there isn't anything else with the blue ray.Unless of course you like cheap thrills.

It is a hilarious episode and I loved every minute of it, more of a fan service kind of deal episode though. but it is only 1 episode that is less than 15 minutes. I was so dumbstruck when I saw that the episode was already over and how short it was, but it was really good. I loved it, would of liked to keep watching but it is an OVA after all. So its only really worth buying if its on sale or if you really really want it in my opinion.
