Alright! We did finally watch JJK, and we greatly enjoyed it! We also watched Blood Lad, though it would have been better if they finished animating it. Which means it's time for another poll!
Another shot from my Rei Miyamoto shoot 📷. I don't know why I haven't posted this one earlier as it's actually one of my faves. Rei can kick some serious ass and I think I've captured that vibe here. Next time I cosplay her, I'm gonna find a better weapon, though... the stick you see here is totally flimsy and would have no zombie stopping power 🛑🧟🧟🧟♀️🧟♀️🛑. More coming soon here and on my Ko-fi page... 🌟ko-fi.com/christabelq🌟 Have a great day. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
The biggest problem with High School of the Dead is that it's a standard harem. I don't mean generic, as the show is anything but generic.
But, as for the harem itself?
Standard harem anime has a number of girls romantically interested in the leading man. The show will never do ANYTHING to potentially resolve the issue. In this harem is almost always a childhood best friend. The childhood best friend has no development. In real life this works, as you have a lifetime of build up, but in storytelling, the audience never sees why the protagonist is romantic with the childhood best friend. It's simply assumed. In order to allow the harem, they have to not actually be in a relationship, but have her physically assault the leading male if anything remotely sexual or romantic happens with another female.
High School of the Dead makes it even worse. You see, the protagonist WAS in a relationship with his childhood best friend love interest, and then she dumped him for his best friend. And then, once the end of the world happens, she constantly berates him, until she's overcome by her emotions. At which point, she heavily tries to seduce him, while constantly talking about how much better his best friend is. And this toxic relationship stops him from developing a relationship with the girls that would appreciate him.
The worst part is that this girl's actions are incredibly realistic.
Another Rei Miyamoto shot. As you can see from my 👍 gesture, the latest wave of zombies have been terminated🪦, but there'll be more of them... there always are. They don't call it an apocalypse for nothing 🧟♂️🧟♀️. I only have a few more pics from this photo shoot to post, but I'm definitely going to cosplay Rei again. I 💜 High School of the Dead and she's my fave character. Bye for now,
