Subject: Highschool of the Dead, anyone watched it?
LOL I was reading the manga before the anime came out.
'There are only two things that live in Tokonosu, Private! Humans and them! Which are you?!?' not to mention the side splitting sign in one part 'Hooray for Perversion'.
Most people aren't getting just how tongue in cheek the whole thing is. Particularly the name puns. Kohta Hirano, for example, shares the same name as the creator of Hellsing. And, apparently, several other traits.
Spoiler:
In the manga the Nurse's friend, Rika, turns up again, later, having saved the people on the floating airport in the meantime. She volunteers to go into the city, and this is the last we see of her, since the next issue hasn't been translated yet.

Just pointing it out so you know what would be big spoilers or not if you haven't seen it. That one was kind of obvious though. Hopefully it doesn't end up dragging on.
I haven't read the manga, but I've heard it does have some differences.

Hahaha, seriously. I guess girls in Japan don't wear very supportive bras... or any for that matter. The copious panty shots get a little ridiculous too.
At first I was like "DAT ASS" but then I was like "Move your ass out of the way!! I can't see the dude getting eaten!!"
Oh yeah, and every girl in that school has at least a nice D size rack. ...I'm sure it's like that in real life. It's gotta be!!
The Simon Pegg cameo made me laugh my ass off!! I rewound it like 5 times just to watch that part. I'm still laughing at it. I never would have guessed Pegg would be in an anime.

Maybe you hang out with immature women. Maybe you're attracted to immature women because you think they'll let you shpadoink them.

Also more H.O.T.D music, meant to post it before, not sure if it's on the sound track or not.
It was a small insert during one of the fight scenes. Kind of funny how they didn't use the good parts.
Spoiler:
I think it was the one where they reunite. The cool one with the bike.
