After a long 2 year hiatus, Highschool of the Dead will be returning this Spring, 2013. Fans of the series never gave up hope, and it looks like that hope will finally pay off this year!
The return is revealed by these photos of the new publications for the manga’s fifth and sixth volumes which will be in full color. The wrap around band on the manga publications states that it will be returning soon. Another photo shows a full page advertisement saying that the manga is returning Spring 2013. Although currently no return date has been specified, we will keep you informed as new information on the series is revealed. Stay tuned, with the return of the manga, Highschool of the Dead Season 2 of the anime series looks like it may finally return in 2013 as well!Check out these images of Highschool of the Dead Manga volumes 5 & 6:
The first season was incredibly epic. I hope i can say the same for the second season too!
Guys it didn’t come out all of you epicly faild trying to guess the date
Guys it didn’t come out all of you epicly faild trying to guess the date
faithfully waited for Highschool of the Dead season 2
expect the release of season 2 this year
it looks like it will be coming out in the fall of this year.^.^
Wanting it to be so, doesn’t make it so.
Not a chance, not even a slim chance that there will be a season 2 in 2013!
Is it gonna be on tv, you tube, or a web site?
I LOVE HOTD……..Finally……YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you know the exact date?
Did you read this carefully? It is written very deceptively and is actually referring to the release of Act 30 of the Manga. There has been no news of the anime, the anime wont happen until 2014 at the soonest, if at all.
I loved as much as you’ll obtain performed correct here. The sketch is attractive, your authored material stylish. however, you command get bought an nervousness more than that you simply want be delivering the following. ill surely come much more formerly once more since precisely the similar nearly a lot steadily within case you shield this increase.
i just hate rei she is so annoying
You forgot useless
You guys are so mean.
Saeko all the way
I love hotd and i have been waiting years for the next season, i watch it over and over i hope there will be more seasons and more intense action and scenery.I love this show and so do all millions of viewers world wide.love it and enjoy also
I love high School of The dead but guys dont bother him he is working on It
I have watch H.O.T.D over and over again and i just finished it again and i watch other animes but none of them are a good as H.O.T.D
Yes this anime is pretty awesome but try watching Death note then,best anime I ever saw.
There are a lot of better anime than Death Note. But I do agree that Death Note is really good.
i have done the same thing,but found good ones but not as good as high school
There are some who say the unidentified woman in Act 30 is Takashi’s Mom and the male is Rei’s dad. That is likely the case, however.
I may be confusing who is who because her face is always blocked or cropped, but If Takashi’s mom is an elementary school teacher and she is the one who answers with “Their weapon’s don’t make that sound”. How would she know? And if Rei’s dad is a police officer and he is the one who asked “Is that the self-defense forces?” Why wouldn’t he already know?
You guys are talking about the snipers it the new chapter 30 right? They star shooting so that the sound attracts THEM to the school.
Yes, but more specifically the last page of Act 30. Looks like the same two people but the expertise of the two seems switched. With the woman knowing more about the sounds of the guns than the man does, who appeared to know more about the sniper rifle than the woman did at the beginning. Is the woman really just a school teacher? Takashi’s mom?
Ahhhhhg! Cant take it anymore!!! I swear, i need to find something else to do.
This is like sitting in the most boring waiting room. There is no magazines, no books, no tv, and your phone’s dead.
HURRY UP AND BRING OUT THE NEXT CHAPTER, WE ARE ALL LITERALY DIEING OF SO MUCH WAIT!!!!!!1!!!11!!!!!1!1!
I kinda hate and love them right now. Becuzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…. IT TOOK THEM 2 DAMN YEARS, 2 MOTHAFUCKING YEARS!!!!!!! But they finaly did it
i almost gived up on that show ya know.

SO THE CONCLUSION IS………
TAKASHI X SAEKO~CHAN XD lolz
and we all hope ofc for a season 2 D< '
i would turn into a zombie if i wait much longer q.q

Enough with this this love triangle!!!
I think Saya and Kotah should form a couple and should take care of Alice as a child. I remember of a scene in the manga, when the group goes to look for Rei’s mom, Takashi finds this old house, and they inspect the lawn. At the end Saya and Kotah act almost as parents twoards Alice. They talk about being more strict with her, and then Shizuka-sensei blurts out with the effects of parenting desicions, and restrictions.
Rei needs some love.
The real question is wether Shizuka and Rika will get back together.
Well, some people think that Shisuka- sensei and Rika have a lesbian relationship. Not that i dout it but Shisuka doesnt realy act as a lesbian through the story. And Rika teases her partner when he says ” i can massage ‘them’ for you”
If anything, i think they have a dumped-fall back relationship. Say they’ve known each other for a long time, had boyfriends and when a break up happens they catch each other in their sorrow. It would make things really uncomfortable if the were tho greet each other with a “passionate” kiss.
Shizuka Marikawa is a free spirit, big hearted, I’m confident gender doesn’t matter all that much to her. She, Rei and Saya were all drunk, not sure how Busujima missed that fun, but liquid courage likely played a big role in her appearing exclusively hetero in Ep. 6.
Rika could easily be a lesbian and still give her poor partner shit about playing with her boobs, actually more so.
Anyway, aren’t all Japanese women bi?
Dont get ofended, but what are you? American? European? Asian?
Our ways of living influence our ways of thinking.
Still, not saying its possible or not, but I really cant imagine them both as a lesbian couple. Its like a “color my eyes cant see”
Being a strait man, i really dont support gay or lesbian relationships, not saying this is not, but i just dont see it.
And NO ONE answered to my Saya ant Kotah comment!!!
Sad/Mad face.
If everyone or at least most of them survive, and they end up pairing up. I’ve always felt it would be
Saya and Kohta
Rei and Takashi
Either pair could take care of Alice, Saya and Shizuka seem to be handling that now. So she would probably go with Saya and Kohta.
That leaves Saeko, Shizuka and Rika alone. Hence my putting Shizuka and Rika together since they are/were already roommates of sorts.
This will jack everyone up but I think the author with sacrifice Saeko as she seems to be one who would give her life to save everyone else.
BTW: I am straight and believe marriage should be between a man and a woman. However this is complete fantasy land here. We are talking about a world where the dead keep walking.
Couldn’t agree more.
But it would break my heart if Saeko was to die.
I mean look at the facts… Theres only certin ways she could:
1 being turened, which would mean someone would take her out, bringing even more sorrow to the group.
2 sacrifice, giving up her life to save the group, probably go out with a bang, literaly.
3 or not being able to take the pain anymore and just end her life in silence.
Note: Samuri-s would perfered to die or comit suaside then to accept defeat.
I would perfer to see her with someone else, other than a chapter dedicated to her death.
Her father might be closer then what we think, but theres a slim chace he’ll come out.
Hope no one dies and everyone gets their share of love.
saeko x takashi or rei x takashi…. well we’ll never know what the sato’s will make it, but think about just one thing, didn’t saeko mention a guy which she loved but couldn’t confess to because of her “dark secret”. I do not believe that it is a dark side of a person to get excited due to the power a weapon can give u, but this aside. That guy might get an entrance later after they reach the elementary school (if u read the manga you know what I mean. It would not only make thongs a bit more interesting,no it would also prolong the storyline. The nicest thing would be to make him also an expert in kendo and black that would be pretty awesome i think, because I HAVE A DREAM THAT ONE DAY THIS WILL COME TRUE! So what do you think, replay and write what u hv in mind.
Honestly, I dont think that there will be anymore charaters that aren’t parrents or teachers in the following chapetrs. In any case, its a matter for Takashi to decide between Rei or Saeko. I hope he goes for Saeko, and Rei finds someone after they get to the elamentary school. I’ve also been reading fan-made story-lines. Some of them are pretty well written, and so vivid that it feels like that would next. An idea came to mind about a week ago: Rei an happen d Saeko SHARING Takashi!!! Crazy right, but it has grown into my mind. It looks and souds weird but i think that i would be the one to write about it before anyone does.
Guiding Angel
I know what you mean i had the same idea once, but dunno as you said it’s A BIT weird. As you just said, Rei might find someone in the school they’re heading to and that is the thing that made me believe, what i mentioned earlier that, that person might be the guy Saeko was talkin about it would make the relationship between them much funnier and complicated then they’re right now.
I had never thought about it that way
And i know whar guy you talking about. Whan Takshi and Saeko were at the sand pit, he asks her if she had ever had a ‘crush or somthin’. In the episode Seako responded ‘yes, there was ,indeed a man i liked’.
Now, by the look on her face, two things came to mind:
1 either he turned, or
2 he died before her incident witch made her dark, an thats why she did what she did, and is how she is.
But by the way she said it, the man she talked about sounded dead to me. She did in fact say, WAS, and her tone kind of changed.
Who knows…
I personally prefer seako as his match. I just finished the season 1 and I see that the manga is returning, is there any information about a season 2? I really enjoyed the series. The OVA meh the show was awesome. I want more
For all of you who know the relatipnships in Hotd i think takashi should go for saeko, they are in a way perfect.
Takashi stated in episode 1 that he loves Rei.
Then tell me , “Rei”, why did you dump him and he spent a whole night with saeko , while only bout half an hour with you at Rika’s house… If you know what I mean by “spent”
Takashi and Rei are friends from childhood. Takashi loves Rei but never expressed that to her directly. Rei likely also loves Takashi but wanted Takashi to express how he felt. He didn’t so she dated another guy. That guys is now dead. Takashi and Rei have a stronger bond right now than the purely physical attraction between he and Seiko. But the world is sure changing, as are the survivors in it.
There was no sex in the temple, in the manga even less so. Its more likely something happened in the OVA (which isn’t canon) while they were all high on drugs. But not sure any of that counts for much more then eye candy.
K, let me just say i am not trying to pick a fight with no one. Im just kidding and i posted my THOUGHTS/ opinions on how the story should turn out, and to see how would people response to it.
Also, i thank you for your time “Rei”, and i didnt intend to ofend. But obiously we wern’t on the same page.
When i said “spent”, i did not mean sex. In the episode, Takashi and Rei have an arguement and then, she leans on to him. Later after he stops her, from getting more frisky. In the manga it sais Rei was drunk or at least not fully sover. Now for Saeko.
At the shrine, temple, place she and Takashi spent the night at, she confeses to him her darkest secret. After she starts freaking, he grabs her by the hand. He. Then they kiss, and i dont think it got further then that.
Im just pointing out facts here not taking any sides.
NOW… If you havent watched the Ova with detail, i sujest you do. At the crazy night, there is a scene where Saeko drags Takashi away from the rest of the group. Yes, it shows they got intimate. Now lets look at the facts. When Saya wakes up, she spots Rei an Saeko naked making out, calling Takashi’s name. After they get settled, Saeko has her ENTIRE two part bikini. At night it is shown that Takashi sliped the top part off, but she has it with her, in the morning, proving that it was Takashi who imaged Saeko dragging him off, and as well that she kissed him first that night. Now yes they find him having a perverted dream, calling ALL of the girls’ names, till Rei does “something” with her rifle to wake him up.
By all the facts ONLY IN THE OVA EPISODE, it is stated that Takashi had a “dream” WITH Saeko, other wise they both would of waken up together. As well as naked.
I swear, it took me like 5 times SUBBED to english, an luke 2ice DUBBED in spanish before ciming to this conclution. Again, i dont intend to fight, i am just saying things the way i see them. Its okay if either you or I disagree, buti gues we’ll see at the end.
Thanks for the conversation, hoe we can keep in touch,
Guiding Angel.
Wow, love the passion!
I didn’t see the OVA as a dream, seemed like they all got high and got frisky. Glad you pointed that out, I like it better as a dream.
I also realize the majority of the fan like Seiko, and also feel she and Takashi should hook up. But I would prefer to see Takashi and Rei end up together.
Well, whats not to like? She’s beautyful, calm, teasing, kendo expert, blue eyes, blue/purple hair, and a she has her ways to work arround problems.
Rei is cute too. Brunet, antenah hair, spear expert, and being the fact that in the first episode, when Takashi storms into the class room after seeing what happened at the gate, he goes for Rei. Saya was also there, and im not sure if he knew Kotah at the time, but he went for her.
Hi guys.
Now I would hate to rain on your parade but the likely hood of the second season of the anime coming out within the next few months will be extremely low I would say about 25% give or take five.
The reason for this is quite simple, there are not yet enough chapters to make any more than six maybe seven episodes at the most. Think about it at the very end of season 1 Takashi and the group are only just walking towards the mall. Now if I remember rightly that was six or seven chapters long making at most five or six episodes. The next chapters are of the group heading towards the elementary school where they pick up Miyamoto’s mother on the way. which could be done in a single episode and then the latest chapter in one episode as well. That makes only eight perhaps nine episodes in total for season two and considering it will likely take a month for a new chapter to be done. To make a twelve episode season there will need to be at least six or seven more chapters.
So this would put the subbed anime to be released either later this year early next year and the dub to be released probably around july next year. Personally I would prefer it sooner but I am just being realistic.
Point is there need to be more chapters of the manga done before they even think of making the anime. If it is rushed it will most likely be fill with over half a season of filler or non-canon episodes… unless of course you all want that.
Sorry for writing so much but I dislike it when people get so excited only grow impatient. The Anime can wait the manga is being produced so be happy with it.

PS. Also seeing as HOTD is back as of last week I have gotten back into the zombie apocalypse genre so expect me to finally finish my HOTD fanfic sometime in the next month, mid-semester holidays are next week so I will start writing then.
I hate to, but i cant disagree. I agree that there has to be more chapters , i dont intend to rush anyone, but hope it wont take more then anoter moth or two for the next chapter to come out.
Its very unlikely a new manga act will release next month, so we are looking at June 9th as the soonest we will see Act 31. I’m guessing that Act 30 – Act 34 will make up volume 8. Hopefully those 4 additional acts are released by the end of the year.
One episode in season 2 was pretty much all filler. The same will probably happen in season 2. There have been a couple published ‘bonus’ acts that could be animated making up another episode.
I like your optimism but Summer 2014 is the soonest I think we will see HOTD Season 2. And unless Sentai Filmworks rushes it, a dubbed version probably wont show up until 2015. http://hsofthedead.com/hotd-season-2/#comment-1497
Be interesting to see how this all evolves over the next few months. How piracy plays into the future of this manga and anime. How Daisuke Sato’s on and off again writing style impacts it. How Shouji Sato’s other manga like Triage X impact his ability to illustrate HOTD. Lots of variables.
ummm not all anime have manga backing them to let you know. thus they don’t have to release more its just easier for the crew making the anime
Correct, not all of them do, but this one does. Daiskue Sato owns the story, there is nothing to indicate he has given up control. Other than changing the order of some of the events, and minor vehicle changes. This anime follows the manga like it was a story board to a movie.
don’t lie us. we have been waiting so long. and i hope it will be ended at season 5
don’t lie us, we are waiting for it so long. and i hope the story will be ended at season 5
don’t lie us, we are waiting for it so long. and i hope the story will be ended at season 4
Sorry. Grammar issues due to phone.
As a zombie, HOTD, and anime dan i think i speak ob behalf of the fan when i say that after the two year and ahalf haitius and the embarrasing videos of hotd in real life , on youtube, we are all more than glad andan exitedfor the return of THE BEST, and probobly ONLY, zombie animein the world.

And for al of thoes of you who keep watching and reading episode after episode, act after act, check out the best fan made storylines that comtinue after some point where takashi and the group end up with couples, dead( as the title ) and takashi timetravels tohis first year in fujimi academy…. Web site . fanfiction.com. Titles: Blood of the dead, followed by Living with the dead, and finaly the most recent( last updated bout a week ago) Time Trax of the dead… Yes, its spelled Trax. Be warned some capters are M for mature. Read at your own risk. Thank you fo reading my extreamly long post. Cant wait
Damn, Where is Link for download HOTD II or next episode 13 and etc…????

O My DEAR LORD PLEASE LET SEASON 2 BE AS GLORIOUS AND SUSPENSEFUL AS THE 1st SEASON!!!!!!, I LOVED HSOTD <3 i love the touch of sensuality and bravior in this, ugh I Got sooooo mad when the last episode was over, i started reading it to see how far it was but its about the same. THE SHOW MUST GO ON!! and i do agree with the comments , i hope they DONT CENSOR a god damn thing or i'll be pissed.

Nice!
This anime need to hurry up… i love this anime but peeps is growin impatient. all im saying is that i cant wait any longerthey need to hurry
plz leg it be longer than first season;
i read that it will be 13 episodes. so hey, it is longer than the 1st! by.. 1 episode. aww but whatever, if it’s finally coming back i won’t complain!
Hey Dillon, Where did you read that? Season 2 hasn’t even been announced, let alone seriously talked about publicly by any of the people involved in season 1.
Most anime are 12 episode per year, unless you include OVAs which could be just a few minutes long or like the Season 1 HOTD OVA, about the same length as a standard episode.
Ive been dying 4 new HOTD cnt wait till s2 cums out

Season 1 Is streaming on the instant Netflix now.
why have episode 13? in youtube? is that real!?
I suspect what you are seeing is the OVA. Drifters of the Dead. This is not really part of the original story, nor is it part of Season 2. I guess it could be called Episode 13 of Season 1, but Drifters of the Dead is an Original Video Animation made by the people at Madhouse. It is not part of the story written by Daisuke Sato in the manga, so it is technically not part of the real story. It was just created as a teaser back when Madhouse thought there really would be a season 2. Before Daisuke Sato stopped writing.
why have episode 13? in youtube? is that real!?
I hope it stays the same like the first episode.. and I mean by like, no ray of lights covering the girls you know, I mean thats one of MANY reasons why this Anime is very POPULAR! Other than that, It is the Zombies, (I cannot remember if they gave them a name like The Walking Dead; Walkers)
Well, let us hope for a great upcoming season!
=^+^=
” (I cannot remember if they gave THEM a name like The Walking Dead; Walkers) ”
Paco, you genius, they are called THEM.
are u serious will it be avalible in america and netflix
Its a logical assumption that NetFlix will have Season 2 at some point. One that I have made too. However, streaming rights need to be negotiated, Netflix may not even look to purchase the rights. So where it ends up is unknown at this time.
One safe bet is that Sentai Filmworks will bid for, and hopefully get the US rights to season 2. They will then likely do the english dub, hopefully offer a BluRay (With the OVA) and sell the digital rights to Netflix. Netflix is currently one of the steaming companies Sentai Filmworks works with.
Sentai Filmworks did announce back in Sept 2012 that they acquired the the OVA Highschool of the Dead – Drifters of the Dead for streaming. They intend to dub it then offer it through ‘select digital outlets’. Currently Sentai Filmworks lists iTunes, Playstation Network, Netflix, and Amazon as their primary streaming services.
Again, just to be clear, Season 2 has not been announced yet. As far as anyone knows, it is not even being produced yet.

yayyyy finnalllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy <3 <..> i need to watch the next season badly i love hotd too much not to and y isnt there a survivor thing about the girl whos father had died ?
Just watched the anime yesterday not really into manga but looks like ill start checking it our for this series
The OVA did say: to be continued…
Yea it did, so did the end of manga, act 29. But then the earthquake/tsunami hit Japan, the anime economy tanked and Daisuke Sato stopped writing. Luckily, the fan base seems to have had an impact on Daisuke and he has started writing HOTD again. Lets hope its more than just a few more acts to wrap it all up, and instead the manga goes on for a long time so the anime can start up again. Currently no one has said anything about season 2 of the anime.
Just finished a crude translation of Daisuke Sato’s Interview in the color version of Act 29 (Bonus in Dragon Age Comics Magazine). In there a few things were confirmed. The manga will pick up where it left off, its not a reboot or redo or anything like that. Sounds like Act 30 is nearly done, original manuscript is finished and preparations for publication are underway. At the end of Act 29, printed in english is “to be continued VOL8, Act30″. Then on the next page “2013 Spring Coming Soon”
I did not see any mention of the Anime, but since this was printed with the manga, it is not surprising.
I used OCR on the printed interview then translated it with Bing and Google, so good chance there were errors. So this may not be entirely accurate but it may explain why there was such a long delay.
There was discussion about the Earthquake, and resulting radiation leaks in Japan. Also sounded like Daisuke may have been sick and may have even been hospitalized. At the end of the interview he apologized for the lengthy delay.
Hopefully someone does a proper translation soon.
Will they make have the episodes in english dub too?
First off, Season 2 of the anime has not been announced yet, only the continuation of the manga. So lets not get a head of ourselves.
If by ‘they’ you are referring to the people who will create the anime, the answer is no. Madhouse created season 1, if they are the ones who create season 2 they will only make it in Japanese.
But … the US rights to this will almost certainly be purchased by Sentai Filmworks. And they will very likely dub it into english, hopefully with the same voice actors. Look for that nearly a year after it airs in Japan, unless it gets done a lot quicker than last time. Barring a miracle, I wouldn’t be looking to see an English dub of HOTD2 until late 2014 or even early 2015.
well….there’s go my luck
thank you for applying that cause i literally danced around when i read this but now that i read it more clearly I’m still happy that they are continuing the series after how long we’ve waited
Will they make have the episodes in english dub too?
Will they make have the episodes in english dub too?
FINALY HOTD IS BACK! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE MANGA AND THE ANIME! THE BEST SERIES 4 EVER!
im all talkin 2myself lol
im so hype. this betta be real
im so happy. and i just started watching this a couple months ago. gratest cartoon eva;) o yeah and this betta
be 4real
Dude, spell check. Also its f***ing ANIME!
im so happy. and i just started watching this a couple months ago. gratest cartoon eva;)
Fuck yeah season 2 is coming out
your DAM right
Buy the crap out of the manga, and then keep bugging him/them about making a second season, if it sells, they’ll make it. Anime funding is a b**** to deal with.
por fin, es un milagro, lo estaba esperando desde que lo vi, fuck yeah! esto es genial, vere el primer capitulo aunque me cueste la vida
Im happy that theres a season 2 but it will kill me if he stop making H.O.T.D
Yea, This update may be a bit premature, or at least a bit deceiving, as there hasn’t been any announcement regarding the anime yet. Only the manga.
It will be good enough if season 2 comes out in this year (2013) this long break is driving me crazy..!!
I will be sticking to manga because according to http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-02-06/highschool-of-the-dead-manga-to-resume
Its says that the manga will be resumed this week so i hope that next week or next-to-next week or next month,manga will be online to read.
Although i hope that they also start season 2 as soon as they can..!!
It says it “confirmed this week” that “HOTD will resume”, not that “this week HOTD will resume”. It’s expected no earlier than March and could possibly take upto May (though given their track record it’s not gonna be a surprise if it takes longer >_> ). The magazine in which HoTD serializes is a monthly and this month’s lineup doesn’t have it.
