Like many have said already i think the ecchi is a part of the manga. I mean seriously besides the bootylicious bodies the rest of the fanservice flows/ happens within the story and is not added as an extra.

But even thou that is my opinion of the ecchi lvl in the manga, i'm really getting annoyed at the ecchi lvl in the anime it is just too much to the point that it really feels like it is added to the story in hopes of making it interesting. And all the ecchi makes the girls seem dumber than they are (supposed to be).

My policy with ecchi is that as long as it doesn't detract from the story, it's alright. The ecchiness in hotd doesn't really affect the plot and the mood too much so I'm fine with it. The anime is a different story though... There was so much bouncing that it got on my nerves.

I haven't read the manga so i won't comment on it but the anime on the other hand.....
i didn't mind it so much up to episode 7 but in episode 8 where they did the slow motion, that just annoyed me

Here here I hear you brother

The manga is clearly aimed at males, so why not?

It is about guns and tits. If you remove tits, what is left?
Could you watch Die Hard for 12 hours?

i think HOTD is just a fan service-type with a little blood and gore mixed in here and there

Fan service type? With a story like that?
You need to watch more anime, kid.

The ecchiness is fine, but they put too much of it. I mean, who wants to watch an anime where in every scene they see giant boobs and panty flashes? Don't forget the jiggling of course. Too much jiggling. Do they not wear bras? (Even then, why does almost EVERY girl have big boobs? It's Japan, not freaking Indonesia or India or America. Yes, those countries do have girls with big boobs.)

In my opinion, the ecchiness ruins it a little bit, but the plot is interesting and unique enough to keep you hooked. I can watch it, but I prefer to skip the giant boobs. Oh, but when the zombies are eating other people, it's okay to show those panty flashes because honestly, what person would be worried about flashing their panties when they're about to get eaten? And series is naturally gory, so it'd make sense to be a little more adult-natured than usual.

Ah, all you ecchi NOOBS.
Its the GENRE.
Without the elements, then it wont be classified under that genre anymore - which would make it non-canon. Stop complaining. Hell, stop watching even - Why watch an ecchi series if you dislike ecchi? Seriously, it makes no sense.

@Jazolai
Do some research on the author of the series first before questioning the amount of ecchi (or the size of the boobs and what not) in the series OR go back a few pages in this thread and educate yourself.

This goes to all of you who are complaining about the "over the top" ecchi and breast sizes.

Also, are you SERIOUSLY asking about the legitamacy of breast sizes
...IN FREAKING ANIME?!
You've gotta be freaking kidding me!

This. The series is aimed at people who like ecchi and couldn't really ask for any less. If you dislike the ecchi in the manga/anime, then the series is not aimed at you.
