That reminds me, the reason I watched HOTD is because a former colleague of mine told me that he read the manga and it was awesome about zombies and stuff. Together with promises of gore he showed me a manga page where a guy was crushing a zombie's head with a pole. Hell yeah it was not what I expected, although not surprised.
Still me being me I enjoyed the show for the awesome headshots, zombie splatter, blood and gore. Just too bad that there was this old, cliché and uninspiring fanservice instead of more blood and gore.
