I might be dredging this one up and necroposting, but hey, this thread is still on the front page...
So, I saw an anime ani-gif and the source was mentioned and figured I'd check it out. There are (only) twelve episodes (so far), I meant to sample the first few, then report back here. I wound up watching all 12 eps in one go just now. A-friggin-mazing.
It's called: High School of the Dead. It is what it sounds like. A couple high school kids are at school when the zombie apocalypse goes down and they then fight their way to safety.
Now, I have to call it out for what it is. Actually, I'll (partially) quote Victor:
"The chick was busting out of her top and jumping up and down while the bigrobotzombie... thing was eating her friend."
Yes, it is loaded with fan service, there is the improbable, physics defying anatomy and a lot of gratuitous upskirting. Only one episode containing nudity, but still NSFW and DEFINITELY not for kids. But I got to tell ya, it was fun to watch, fan service aside. Given its somewhat adult nature I won't link it here, you can Google it. I have heard that it is on the Zune Marketplace.
On to some others I have watched and enjoyed. Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Vandread, Burst Angel, Slayers, to name a few. My favorite however has got to be Full Metal Panic! 49 episodes across three seasons and one OVA so far... there's too much to say about it so you can check the link. The story is great and although there hasn't been any new animes since 2005, the manga is still going strong so there could be more.
