Although most of the people call it a fan-service, High School of the Dead is arguably the best zombie anime to date. There is much similarity between western zombie shows and this anime because it has much to do with its severe plot and exciting events. Instead of only focussing on the action, this anime has some pure ecchi moments that’ll make you like it even more. Too bad, it only has one season, but the first season didn’t imply that the show has ended. However, fans are still hoping that it’ll come out someday. As the title indicates, the story starts in a high school where a zombie outbreak arises, and soon, it’ll be full of zombies. Even though the school is overrun by the zombies, a few students who play a vital role in the series fight them to get out of there. As the leading person, Takashi gets them out of the school, and they all go in search of their families. When it comes to violence, this show doesn’t pull off any punches. Thus, it ended up being the first on the list of best zombie anime.

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress is often referred to as the copy of Attack on Titan. Arguably, they both have the same plot structure, but this anime shows it in an entirely different way. The story sets in the Industrial Revolution, where the monsters called Kabane attack the people and turn into their zombie anime by infecting them. On Hinomoto island, people build stations to protect themselves from those monsters. However, somehow the break-in of the Kabane happens from inside. Now they need to face more dangerous situations than they were used to be. Compared to Attack on Titan, in this anime, they face undead monsters instead of Giants, and these can only be dead by a weapon known as Tsuranukizutsu. You might experience a few similarities, but that doesn’t stop you from liking this anime. While this anime grabs attention from the viewers with its action scenes, it indeed endows you the vibes of a zombie anime. If you’re thinking of watching a zombie anime with some exciting characters and anticipating a plot, then you’ll love it for sure.
