After watching this anime, I deleted it from my computer. The first half was excellent. However, the later episodes were a little disturbing. The ending was just shocking.

well after watching the final, i actually kind of liked it. I know it was a very horrifying ending, but these was obviously a tragedy, happy endings are often not real. The guy you meet is not the nice cute guy, the friends sometimes are not the best ones and things are just not mend to be. I think the author gives away the message or more like a warning to people to let go of someone that can ultimately lead you to suffering. I have known many suicidal girls for love in my high school no kidding. I think at that age people are just not mature enough to accept that forever love is not very realistic. And people do get psychotic about that, if we think about all the stalkers, suicidal and just plain violent people in relationships. At least that is my opinion because I have been in the situation of the crazy girl with the cheating and the pregnant girl and all, and sometimes specially when you are young you really get crazy and obsessed with that. Im lucky i decided to get out of the crap i was in but for many girls that just can’t get over it and have no one to turn to its very horryfing almost surreal. This anime ws like the biography of the hell i went through for reals!!!!lol never going back that road again.

Poor Katsura, man. Seriously. And I know you’re SUPPOSED to hate Makoto, but damn, that guy was insanely easy to hate.

The series is extremely melodramatic, yes, and towards the end it was a cringefest. But I feel as though some of those situations (save perhaps the end event) resonate with many viewers on some level. The themes of cheating and mean girls and high school drama are all overused and quite annoying though.

And why the hell does everyone fall for Makoto? They don’t show him to have any redeeming qualities, though I assume he’s supposed to be attractive. There’s no interaction between him and those stock harem chicks, save for them glaring at him and Katsura all the time, and yet they are apparently helpless before his manly wiles.

A short bit on the ending now, since it seems to spark debate: Nah, the dude didn’t deserve to *HOLYCRAPSPOILER* die *END SPOILER*, but he did deserve some freakin’ pain. It’s just the depiction of each of these girls apparently having no choice but to sex this guy that pisses me off. Something that I believe could have made this series a lot stronger would be just one strong-willed, half-intelligent female character who warns these other chicks to watch out. Or maybe I just hate sad endings. That one was downright spooky though.

So all in all pretty unrealistic (yeah, Makoto was more believable than most male leads, but come on, there has to be at least one poor girl somewhere that he doesn’t want to bone) and really funny in a bad way, but entertaining-ish. At least it’s only 12 episodes.

Wow everybody seems to hate this anime.

Personally I thought the first half with Makoto getting bored with Girl #1 and realizing that he actually loved Sekai (and Sekai’s reaction) was absolutely brilliant; honestly one of the most realistic and moving portrayals I’ve seen in any anime or TV program to date, no exaggeration. I actually felt the same way as the male lead as the story progressed. The emotion slowly builds up to a dramatic scene where he finally decides he has to be with Sekai instead, and both characters were amazing all throughout.

Then the guy turns into a pervert and a jerk and that’s where I lost that synch feeling. He wants nothing but sex and refuses to tell girl #1 he loves someone else. Hell, he doesn’t even seem to care at all that he’s cheating, though Sakai’s character remains fairly realistic.

I haven’t finished the whole anime as of yet, but the only qualm I’ve had so far was with girl #1; she’s pretty much been a nobody so far, that’s probably why I don’t even remember her name. She seems to exist simply to make matters more complicated. Compared to the great depth displayed by the other two leading characters, she’s as shallow as the cookie-cut heroine in any third-rate romance series’.

I haven’t watched the entire show yet, but so far I’ve been very impressed with School Days. I didn’t even realize it was based off an ecchi game until I read it here; the drama has been too good for me to pay much attention to the occasional butt-rub the newly-assified Makoto throws in.

Don’t praise this anime for being “different”. Holy hell. This is not the kind of different you want to be. You don’t just a make a bad story about bad characters with a bad ending and say it’s a work of art.

I don’t think there’s anything in particular that makes School Days inherently bad. It failed pretty hard on all fronts. Almost everyone in the series was a terrible person and it was really hard to watch. Everything got worse, no one learned from their mistakes, and the anime ends with some crazy bitch cuddling her boyfriend’s severed head.

i know i would rate 45/100 on the episode 6-9 because it pissed me off but after watching the last 3 more episodes it made me realize that he only got addicted because he was attracted by that girl to have sex after finishing it my rating is 91/100 its because the ending makes it all [b]CLEAR[/b] u will also change your rate if you watch the last episodes :)

Wanna hear something funny,when I after finishing Love Hina I asked around and somebody recommended me this anime

What kind of a sick bastard that was ..

First of all I heard School Days…I thought of something like maybe Love Hina or Ouran.Then from the second episode I thought maybe this is a deeper emotional real relationship kinda anime and I was intrigued but from the moment he fucked Sekai or whatever the psycho’s name is.I felt disturbed.

From then on,I actually forced myself for one or two episode.then I just stopped watching.And it looks like maybe one of the best decisions I ever made in my life.Its sick and vile,disgustng if you enjoyed this you must be one twisted social reject,or dumped by a guy and still can’t get over him kinda fuckstick.
It really messes with your head if your in a relationship.I couldn’t even look at my gf for weeks.(I just skipped and I watched the ending…I regret that very much.).

And for people who r trying to make this anime sound like some kind of “profound hidden gem with real human emotions”…Im extremely happy to give them a finger and say Fuck you!.You are sick in the head and go to the nearest insane asylum.

I dont recommend to this any human being and I would advice any anime fans to stay away from this far as you can.You would thank me!

Hmm, Watching this anime is like having your hair pulled, or nails on a chalk-board, or a knife twisted in your gut. Unpleasant and frustrating. That being said, it kinda liked it anyway. Does that make me a masochist?

Oh, and by the way, I wouldn’t recommend this sires for enyone without first warning them about the ending. I mean seriously, if you haven’t seen this one but are planning to, please stop at episode 11, trust me, you won’t regret it. I completed “School Days” on 9/11/09, now, I’ve been an anime fan for almost 10 years and what transpired at the end of episode 12 (Makoto’s murder) stands as the most horrific, disturbing/realistic anime murder scene that I have ever seen in my life. I know of no comparison, and that is a cold-hard fact. I will never watch any episode of this series again…it’s such a shame, in the begining I honestly thought “School Days” would be my absolute favorite anime series. needless to say that didn,t last long, now, I know some of you might have different opinions about this serie’s ending. But if you feel the way I do about it, it’s completely understandable, and you’re not alone, not even close, well, that’s all. Farewell!

OK, I’m back, you all know how much I hated this serie’s ending right? Well
I just went back and watched it again, (only the part where Makoto dies.) I needed to get all the details in preparation for the second and final leason. And yes, it was one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do. It was so horrific and disturbing that I almost had to stop in the middle of it, and as it turns-out, Makoto wasn’t stabed 4 or 5 times, the poor guy was stabed at least 10 times. And while Sakai was…doing it, she was shouting: “your so selfish” and “all you ever wanted was Katsura”. And did you notice the ominous music that was playing during both murder scenes? It just made the hole thing that much more disturbing. I’m not happy with Sakai at all, (though, in the very begining, I did think she was okay.) now it’s time for the second and final leason: how to resolve a dangerous love triangle, and more importantly, how to escape the situation that killed Makoto. OK, resolving any love triangle can be risky, especielly if it’s like the one depicted in “School Days”. (although a-lot of it was Makoto’s falt.) Continuing to be freinds with Sakai as she slowing got over it (which is what you should do to resolve most love triangles.) wouldn’t have worked here. Sakai did not want the relationship (or what ever it was) to end, now, this is a much more dangerous situation. Simply ignoring her is the best thing to do in this case, OK, now it’s finally time to discus how Makoto could have saved himself. OK, lets say (hypotheticlly) that your in Makoto’s situation, after the brake-up, Your very emotionally disstresed ex-girlfreind unexpectedly shows up at your home for a visit. Beeing the nice guy that you are, you dicide to let her in, OK, here’s what you should do: as she rings the door-bell walk over to the door and look through the peep-hole. After seeing that it’s her, crack the door open just slightly, then glance down at both of her hands quickly, if she’s not holding anything dangerous. go-ahead and open it all the way (and don’t forget to greet her.), now, as she goes to have a seet stay right beside her, because her hand-bag could also cantain somthing dangerous. As you start a conversation be as frenidly as possible, what happaned to Makoto was murder in the first degree, Sakai planed what she did, that’s why she was so unresponsive. She was only there to end Makoto’s life and she knew it, think about it, the text messege which distracted him, that had to be planed. Yes I’m awere of his bad decissions, but thay do not make what happened to him any less of a tragedy and if you disagree with me, you need to go back and watch that episode again, if you can stand it. OK, now back to the leason, you should never, ever leave her unattended, remember, she can not be trusted, not after what she’s been through. Which means you and her can never be in to differant rooms, this means you shouldn’t even use the bathroom while she’s there, think about it, you don’t know what you’re going to walk out into after you’re finished. That’s the apsolute worst pasition you can be in, so you should just hold it, because it’s just to danderous. And if ever goes in the kitchen you stay right besibe her, and never let her touch the nives, (needless to say) if she offers to make dinner, you help her the intire time. Never leave her unattended. And when the visit ends stay biside her until she’s out the door, I truly beileve that if Makoto Had this knowledge he would still be alive. But now, you know, I know every case is differant, but at least now you won’t be going in blind, this will probably be my last review. I wish all of you the best of luck! Goodbye!

OK, now you know how Itou Makoto ment his end and the sequence of events wich led to his tragic demise. Now, as you probably already know, love is a very strong emotion, wich can be extremely difficult, if not impossible to control. You see, love can motivate people to do things that thay would otherwise never do. (referring to Sakai) because of this, love triangle situations can be very unpredictable and potentially dangerous. And it is very coomen, So many people are falling victim to misguided affection these days, most people just don’t seem to realise the seriousness of a love triangle situation before it’s too late. Now, it is true that most love triangles don’t end in violence, but for the ones that do, the victim olmost never sees it coming.(referring to Makoto) And there are some leasons I wanted to give you regarding love tringles, now, thay won’t guerantee anything, but it is good to know. and for your information, I’ve never been in a love triangle situation, but
i’ve seen enough of them (mainly at school) to know pretty much how thay unfold. OK, the first leason is on how to avoid ending-up in a love triangle all together, oh, and be advised, these leasons are for males only sorry. out of all the love triangles I watched unfold, the type that invoved 1 man and 2 women seemed to really catch my attention, mainly because I was so surprised at how easy it is to slip into that situation. Here’s how it usually starts: a man and woman fall in love and start a relationship, everthing is going fine, but then, the man is ether timpted by another woman or he intionaaly seeks it out. ether way, he eventually tells his current girl-freind that he’s leaving her for someone-else, but this doesn’t sit well with her and the love triangle begins. OK, if you ever have to tell your girl-freind that you’re leaving her for another woman, inform her in a way that shows her that you still care about her. you have to be as comforting to her as possible, this should’nt be done over the phone, becuase to her it would appear that you don’t care. And if she asks who you’re leaving her for, only tell her if it’s someon she knows, if not you should’nt tell her anything about the new woman because it would only make her more jealous. And you should stay in contact with her as a freind, until you can conferm that she’s moved on, now, I’m not saying continue dating her because that’s the worst thing you do, just act as if you were freinds. But this doesn’t always work, and you could still end-up in a love triandle, it’s time for second leason: what to do if you’re ever in a dangerous love triangle, I’ll review Makoto’s 3 fetal mistakes and how he could’ve saved himself. But most importantly, how you can avoid falling victim to a similar act of misguided affection. when I return.

OK, in my last review I chose not to describe what happened to Makoto in detail, But if you really have to know, hare’s what transpired. Oh, and be advived, it is very disturbing. Well…here goes, as Makoto turns around Sakai charges at him with a nghfe and before he can react, she stabs him in the lower abdomen. He then falls to the floor and Sakai continues to rapidly stab him in the chest, at this point, poor Makoto is crying very much. He knows his life is about to end, who would’nt cry in a situation like that? When he does die, his eyes stay wide opened, looking straght up, and Sakai apeared to have no remorse for what she had just did. OK, now, I hope you’re happy because that wasn’t easy for me. Geez, I was so surprised by that ending, I mean, if you’ve seen this series, you know how relaxed it was in the begining, episodes 1 and 12 when compared to each-other seem like 2 differant series. Take Sakai for example, you saw how she was in the when the series first began, now how can someone go from beeing so happy and carefree to beeing a…murderer? Well I have the answer to that question, 3 words: complications regarding affection. If you’re surprsed, don’t be, because over half of all murders committed by women are motivated by some kind of compication regarding affection. OK, now, When I get back I’ll review Makoto’s 3 fetal mistakes and how you can avoid making similar ones.

OK evreyone, lets just finish this. Now back to where we left off, the next morning Sakai gets a messege from Makoto and is overjoyed, (she just never learns does she?) and as expected, her joy is short-lived. As Makoto mentions one of Kotonoha’s acquaintances who works in a hospital, basically suggesting that she have an abortion. Sakai is utterly shocked by this, now, could he have possibly picked a worse time to say something like that to her. I think at this point, any rameining hope Sakai may have had left was destroyed. Her love for Makoto had all but disappeared, and in it’s place, anger/jealousy, and those feelings don’t coexst well. now back to the storry, at school that day Makoto looks relieved seeing that Sakai didin’t come.(probably having the abortion.) After all he gets to spend time with his new found love, Kotonoha, thay have dinner on the school roof. And after thay finish he starts acting all caring towards her, similar to how he was toward Sakai when thay first became…”close”. But in this case, when he kisses Kotonoha he keeps his hands to himself for once. (could this be a sign of true love?) Later that evning (after school) brings Makoto a not so pleasent experience, A canversation with Sakai of course. Which he so willingly envites into his apartment, not the smartest decision, (not after what she’s been through.) the 2 sit down and Makoto asks “how did it go”. (referring to the abortion.) mentioning the abortion, another bad choise on his part, But an evidently depressed Sakai doesn’t respond, staring down at the floor. After a long moment of silence, Makoto goes to make tea, but Sakai abruptly gets up and goes to get it instead, Makoto sits back down. This is where he makes his second life-threatening mistake, can you guess what it is? Well, if you were thinking: leting Sakai, as emotionaly desstresed as she was, go into the most dangerous room of his home, (the kitchen) unattended, you’ve realy been paying attention! While in the kitchen she takes out her cellphone and sends a text messege to Makoto,which distracts him. While he goes to the back bedroom to get his cellphone, Sakai glares at him very ominously, while holding in her right hand…yes you geussed it, a ketchen nighfe.(oh, now this can’t be good.) And this is where, Itou Makoto makes his third and fetal mistake, he left Sakai alone in another room, complteley unattended. Also, he had his back the door, Now, could he be any more incompetent? Well, when he opens his cellphone he’s surprised to see that it’s from Sakai, the first line reads: “I am sorry”, then a lot of empty ones, when he scrolled down to the last one it read: “goodbye”. (god, I hate what happens next) Makoto turns back around with a shocked exression only to find Sakai charging at him with the nighfe and it was to late for him to react. OK I’m just going to say that he was stabed 4 or 5 timse, I don’t know, I wasn’t conting and no, he did’nt make it. When I come back I’ll review the 3 fetal mistakes and how you can evoid making similar ones, well, see you then.

OK, picking up where we left off, after Makoto yells at Sakai over the phone she leaves his apartment in anger. While he and Kotonoha were geting on the train to Makoto’s home, now, we all know that Sakai also needs to take the train home. But what are the chances of her noticing them? Well when Sakai arrives to get on her train. Sure enough, as the train with Makoto and Kotonoha passes the station, she breifly catches sight of them, much to her shock and disbelief. (Kotonoha clinging to Makoto) Now, She must have pretty good eyesight to notice them on a speeding train. After it passes Sakai immediantely turns around and runs back where she came. (Makoto’s apartment) Makoto arrives home with Kotonoha and he goes to make some tea, in the kitchen he finds Sakai’s dinner splattered all over the floor. Apparently she swiped everything off the table in anger, Makoto starts to clean up the mess, though he doesn’t appear to be angry. Just then the door-bell rings and Makoto goes to answer, though it looks like Kotonoha got to it first. And sure enough, gets slaped by Sakai, who then yells at her for being with makoto, then she demands that Kotonoha leavse while shaking her violantly. Kotonoha reacts very calmly, and accuses Sakai of trying to pull her and Makoto apart, and mentions that Setsuna must have been acting on Sakai’s bihalf. Sakai doesn’t understand, so Kotonoha reveals that Setsuna also had sirius feelings for Makoto which is a huge shock for Sakai. Setsuna is Sakai’s long time freind, but completely unknown to Sakai, Setsuna is her half-sister. (I know it’s weird) Though I’m not sure of wether or not Setsuna was aware of this, she never mentioned it to Sakai, nor did she reveal that she too had feelings for Makoto, because of this, there freindship has been under a lot of strain lately. OK back to the story, after revealing Setsuna’s true feelings, Kotonoha says she won’t hesitate animore and then kisses Makoto (very passionately) right in front of an already emotionaly distressed Sakai.Ok this is where Makoto makes his first of the 3 mistakes, he kisses (I mean realy kisses) Kotonoha (Sakai’s rival) right in front of her, how could he do this to her? This proofs to Sakai beyond a reasonable doubt that he realy doesn’t care about her. She watches and screams in shock before runing out the door. As she’s walking home, she remembers a conversation she had with Setsuna a while ago.(Setsuna seems to have been much more soft-spoken back then) When she first tolled her about Makoto, the cene quikly shifs to darkness and several cloaked figures wearing wasks appear. (OK now I’m sure she’s hallucinating) The one with the red mask accuses Sakai of being responsible for all that has happened. When she tries to deny it the figure removes the mask, turning out to be Setsuna, which cuases Sakai to campletely break down, You realy have to feel sorry for her at this point. (I realy wish I could do this all day but I do have things needing to be attended so I’ll cunclued the story next time)
