LOS ANGELES (Anime Expo), July 2, 2010—Sentai Filmworks today announced its acquisition of the new hit anime series HIGH SCHOOL OF THE DEAD. Based on the ultra-violent manga by Daisuke Sato, directed by Tetsuro Araki (Deathnote, Black Lagoon) and produced by the internationally famed studio Madhouse (Deathnote, Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D-Bloodlust, Wicked City) HIGH SCHOOL OF THE DEAD combines hordes of flesh-eating zombies with state of the art animation for one of the most action packed anime series ever!

A deadly new disease is ravaging the world, turning the populace into mindless zombies, and the number of infected is skyrocketing by the second. As their fellow classmates and teachers succumb to the infection around them, a small group of students at Fujimi High School are fighting for their lives after surviving the initial outbreak. Now it’s up to Takashi Komuro to unite a small group of blood-soaked survivors in a desperate bid to escape! School’s not just out for the summer, it may be out forever as a handful of students face the ultimate test, survival, in HIGH SCHOOL OF THE DEAD!

WOO HOO!!!
Finally, something kick-ass, something gory, something…not pretty vampires/werewolves. Hell, at least True Blood keeps it “real”.

Thank Buddha.

Doesn’t stretch too good. That other one centers with black really good though. Thanks man!

Right, sorry, been a little busy :S

It’s all good, and fully understandable.
I was just curious since the pic you used was for the manga, and the vid was a horrble bootleg rather than the offical KADOKAWA teaser.

The original video seemed to me to be the same thing, just a couple extra seconds of something in the beginning.

It was the same, just bootleg cam/phone version of it when they premiered the PV.
