This is a spinoff, NOT a sequel and has a different cast. According to the ANN
article Daisuke Sato says that this series is backstory for the new
characters being introduced in the manga.
"In
another part of Tokyo, a few hours before the events in High School of
the Dead a group of girls enjoy their
high school graduation party late into the night. But when they decide to call on a
friend from another school (which being on the quarter system does not
graduate for 3 months) they discover that Tokyo is becoming the
epicenter of a worldwide nightmare!"
Well, winter 2013 is already looking good!
UPDATE: Oh my! The soundtrack is going to be by Shonen Knife, Aural Vampire, Nightwish and Caravan Palace!

Today was the decline to avoid the Sequester. Things like my furlough don't happen until later...

The warning letter came out a couple weeks ago - we should get the official furlough schedule next week. Unless they finagle some budge-juggling over the weekend, my office is looking at 20% reduction in workdays (and pay) from April 1st through the end of September.
