Thirty second spot version:
Things begin to come to a head over at the bridge, with the police forces increasingly using lethal measures to subdue the zombies and the panicking populace. Away from the chaos, Shizuka and the girls, and Rei, Saeko, and Saya, engage in a sacred cleaning ritual to purify their minds and bodies at Rika’s apartment while Kohta and Takashi discover Rika’s secret weapons cache. Hijinks ensue when the girls engage in a little sexual harassment, but before things can come to another head, the crew notices the zombie horde that has now gathered below the apartment.
That was not the straw / She wanted in her juice box: / Saucy hint failure.
Reaction:
….
Oh. My. God.
And that was pretty much my reaction to this episode that took all the innuendo and fanservice of the past five episodes and turned them up to 11. The exciting panty-laden bridge fight last time was just a primer for the way they seamlessly transitioned from towel-slip-Shizuka to darn-near-naked-apron Saeko while throwing down scenes of desperation and suicide alongside allusions to death camp bulldozers. And what other series can take the shocking death of four juvenile delinquents by water cannon and parody it in the very next episode with an absurd breast cannon bath assault? Never has the complete breakdown of organized society looked so hot. Unfortunately, with the expanded scope of the ‘service I couldn’t even do another round of the “Dirty Dirty Truth” because they’d already covered all the bases, what with Takashi’s bent “juice straw” and his and Kohta’s “gun cabinet” cuddle. Maybe next time.
While the last episode highlighted the efforts of the police and various special units in keeping the peace, this episode did a nice job of showcasing the fact that their control is eroding faster than they can compensate for, and that the blockade on the bridge is truly a last ditch attempt at maintaining order. With no hope of reinforcements it is only a matter of time until the weight of the dead, or the weight of their decisions, crushes the very last of the police resistance. With this in mind, it was nice that the core group got a little time with their clothes off, as it looks like they’re going to need all their energy to clear out the mob of zombies that were drawn to their location by the barking dog.
Fortunately for the group, along with food supplies and a little rest they’ve stumbled upon Rika’s weapons cache, and with Kohta’s training it looks like they’ve got a shortcut to another round of power ups. Though this is good for the group, it could spell trouble for Takashi as the rivals for his affection could potentially be sporting guns instead of blunt instruments. Shizuka may have been slightly under the influence, but that excuse isn’t going to save her if Rei can actually focus enough to notice the hand that the nurse is trying to stick into Takashi’s pants, and Miss “just call me Saeko” Busujima is giving off vibes that she may not just be talking about defense when she mentions Takashi’s “protection.” And I’m sure that Saya is going to have something to say to Rei when she wakes up about the latter’s attempt to pull the old spiral-staircase-heavy-petting attack on Takashi. For now it’s too close to call who might eventually come out on top, bit I hope that they can eventually resolve their differences in a civilized manner, you know, like mud wrestling.
While it would be difficult to top the fanservice in this episode, from the preview it appears that we’re not out of random PJs and aprons territory yet (not that I’m complaining), and it looks like we might actually get to see some more zombie whooping from Takashi and company. Until then.

I always wanted to be the handler of a hot all-girl spy team, and joining Sea Slugs! made that dream come true. Well, the being part of a team portion of the dream, anyway. When I'm not busy trying to accomplish the rest of my goal, I enjoy watching anime from almost every genre with a focus on anything featuring sultry female voice acting or meganekko.

Have to agree with you on the reaction I felt the same way! I think most did, another character to join next week can’t wait to see that course loli character xD
I suppose they would have to add a loli to offset the gravitational consequences of all the celestial orbs that are orbiting Takashi. After my initial shock I had to re-watch certain key scenes, you know, for research purposes.
My one complaint about the episode: Rika couldn’t have been involved with the fanservice?! Not even for a second?!
I know, would it have killed them to have her walk in on the bath scene after a hard day at work? She’s got a cute sneeze, but she deserves more screen time than that. Madhouse added the “water cannon” bit (more grueling research I had to do there… ahem) why couldn’t they just add her in there? I think we need to start an online petition….
I like how Saya is the most ‘loli’ of the bunch, but still totally stacked. This episode really put Princess Lover to shame, which is amazing considering the entire point of Princess Lover was fanservice.
The boob squirt totally topped the palm-water-squirt fanservice scene from Gundam SEED: Destiny, when Lacus and Cagalli decide to spray eachother in the onsen.
Princess Lover always seemed to be holding back a bit, whereas HoTD has absolutely no sense of shame. More on that next time. And you’re right, though Saya is the least likely candidate for future back trouble, she’s still going to have problems down the road….
And I haven’t seen GSD, but this was way better than the splashing scene in Berserk.
Man when Shizuka kissed Kohta on the cheek, two words popped into my head “cherry picker”.
Unfortunately, I think Kohta would suffer from massive heart failure before things actually got to the “picking.” Not that he wouldn’t die with a smile on his lips.
