Manga/Anime fans, can you recommend a good ZOMBIE series?

No, but I can recommend a bad one... Blassreiter.

There's a cool zombie episode in Samurai Champloo, but that's just one. Tokko is an interesting take on the genre, but has a non-ending.

Actually, I'm the wrong person to ask. I hate zombies, especially tropical ones.
 
Zombies are more of western thing you're not going to find a lot of examples in anime.

Hellsing
and Hellsing Ultimate have zombies although they're more about vampires, the zombies are just a side effect. Zombies are also a large part of plot of Gungrave. All 3 of these were/are pretty good.

On the manga side of things there's Priest which by the description deals with them. Although, I only know because I read a story on it getting animated soon and haven't read it. There's also a couple other series with "zombie" in the title, Zombie Loan, and Zombie Powder. Haven't read any of those either.
 
Probably has to do with cultural leanings, but if you want some zombie goodness from Japan, go to wal-mart and drop the $16.00 on Tokyo Zombie

WAL-MART!??:wtf: YOUR KIDDING ME! RIGHT? & what is the basic plot of Tokyo Zombie with out giveing spoilers?
 
Also there's 3X3 Eyes which is an OVA series of about 7 or 8 episodes. The main character dies and is turned into a Wu which by all descriptions is a zombie. He can take any kind of damage to his body and regenerate.

^Huh? I wonder why zombies are big here, but not JAPAN?

Well, they tend to lean further to the non-corporeal spirits and ghosts returning rather than the physical body coming back from the dead. You can find a lot more horror series revolving around those. I guess that type of stuff scares them more.

Tokyo Zombie's basic plot revolves around this Judo freak & his partner when this Mt. Fuji sized dumping ground (yes even bodies are dumped there) starts re-animating corpses, & no i'm not kidding wal-mart, if you have a big enough one they might even have Azumi 1&2, The Machine Girl, and Yoyo Girl Cop
 
Well, we are talking about the same country that has porn and women's panties in vending machines and makes things like this which is selling out of stores right now. :lol:

Second vote for 3x3 Eyes, it's a fantastic series (both the manga and anime). Very gory as well.
 
The video I posted most likely, it's...interesting. in a :wtf: kind of way.
To be honest I'm a tad affraid what I'd see in that video!:lol: (Yes I have not seen the clip, and yes I am that chicken) I mean come on! it's JAPAN! That country is NUCKING FUTS!:eek:
 
It's a clip from an exercise/fitness video in anime form called Training with Hinako, although judging by some of the camera angles I'm sure it was also intended for another purpose. It might motivate you to exercise, though maybe not the intended muscles. :D

I ended up getting a surprising Anime the other day, I got Jubei-chan, found the whole series on sale used for $16, not zombie anime, but soul swapping is part of it
