Comments on: School Days Review - 49/100 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2007/09/20/school-days-review-49100/ An anime blog covering a large variety of series, both popular and underrated.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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 evreyone, lets just finish this.

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) OK, picking up where we left off, after Makoto yells at Sakai over the phone she leaves his apartment in anger.

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)

I'm going to reivew the final moments of Mokato's life, please be advised it may get a little graphic. And as I go on I'll note the 3 mistakes which when put together prooved to be fetal. OK... here's how it happaned. Mokato and Kotonha are out walking the streets with her clinging to his arm. Just then, Mokato stopts and mutters to himself, "It's cold", then Kotonoha takes his hands and puts them on her chest.(she sure has changed hasn't she) but she still looks very out of it, (maybe even depressed) the scene ends there, we don't get to see Mokato's reaction. Meanwhile Sakai was at Mokato's apartment cooking dinner, (yes it was intended for her and him) by now Mokato had ended whatever he had with Sakai, but this did'nt sit well with her at all. She continued to call and spend as much time with him as possible, But Mokato now only wanted to be frends with Sakai. At this point he had turned all of his attention back to Kotonoha, the sleeping around also seems to have stoped. (mokato apears to be changing his ways) Now back to where we were, while cooking dinner, Sakai (while looking rather depressed) gazes at a selphone picture of her and Mokato dancing beside the school bonfire. After staring at it for a while, she decides to call and ask him to come home and have dinner with her. But he refuses, sure anough, he's in a resturant having dinner with Kotonoha. So the conversation quikly turns into a rather heated argument,(involving Sakai's pregnancy) and in the end Mokato yells at her to go home and hangs up on her, just then, we hear the sound of plates crashing. OK there's somthing I have to attend to, so I'll resume when I get back, so, so, sorry.

Now were was I...? Oh yes, Sakai pretty-much started the whole thing, first by encureging Mokato to pursue the girl of his dreams, then tempting him to cheat on her.(oh Sakai what were you thinking) It is'nt long before Mokato is tempted by several girls and begans sleeping around, another mager mistake on his part. Throughout the series Mokato seems to exhibit severe lapses in judgement. For example, after Mokato coerces Sakai to sleep with him she feels very guilty that he cheated on Kotanoha with her and trys to convence Mokato that thay should adress the situation to her. But he diclines, saying that Kotanoha would get angry, I think by this time he was simply telling Sakai anything he could in order to "keep his hands on her". Encluding the frase "I love you" which he said to her on a few occasions. (though I doudt that he ever meant it) And one time he even told Sakai, "I don't care about Kotanoha" (now I'm pretty sure he did'nt mean that) falowed by more bogus linse axpressing how much he "cares" about her. But Sakai bought all of it, her feelings for Mokato could not be more evidint, but neather could Kotanoha's. Now don't forget by this time she was campletly aware of mokato's cheating, but seemed to look the other way, she never once confronted him about it. Even after watching him kiss Sakai!(now that's love would'nt you say)OK it's geting a bit late, when I came back We'll discus the anatomy of how Mokato ment his end. Well, see You then!

Now as I was stating earlier, from what I've seen in episode 5, Sakai is at falt for just-about every thing that transpired. Especilly the love triangle, It all started when she volunteered to help Mokato start a relationship with another girl. (Kotanoha Katsura) So, as Mokato and Kotanoha grew closer, Sakai began to also have for him.(see were this is going) So what does Sakai do? She continues to assist Mokato with his reltionship while fully aware that she, hersef was falling in love with him. Now what could she have possibly been thinking? Then in episode 5 she sudeces Mokato by encureging him to fondle her. He quickly givse-in, (of cours) regardless of his relationship with Kotanoha, that was his mistake, and so the love triangle begins.

I just wanted to give you a little more insite on how I feel about "School Days". (And similar anime series). OK. As I agknowleged last time. "School Days" has a very disturbing ending. Which I Utterly despised. Those terrible images (mainly the scene where Mokato dies) are still lingering in the back of my mind. I think Mokato crying at the very end of his life was both. very sad and realistic.Yes he made some bad decisions. But he did not disurve what happen to him. I'm not sure exacaly how meny times he was stabed.(honestly I could'nt stand to watch that scene again).Things could have been so much different. If only those 3 (Mokato.Sakai. and Kotanoha) had just been frends. that way everyone would would've happy. But no. it had to be a love triangle. I hate those situations! someone always gets hurt in the end. OK. I've made it pretty clear that "School days" is'nt my favorit anime series. oh yes. there's somthing else I wanted to talk about also. I've recently discovered that I have a deep interest in Anime series which take-place in school environments. (and there are very meny). Now is'nt that strange. (refering to my horrible school life). But This must be very popular in Japan. seeing that there are so meny anime series which take-place in this environment.(typically high-schools) Such as: Best Student Council. And School Rumble. these are just 2 of many that I truly enjoyed. Well my interest in this type of anime is still very strong. Even after seeing epasode 12 of "School Days". That ending truly shocked and disturbed me. It's been almost a week now. and I am geting over it. slowly. But Steadily. now-then. I wish all of you the best of luck! Remember. There will always be another anime series. the one you've been searching for. Could be just over the horizon! Well it’s me again (Neal).

And found miself very interested. the plot seamed intreeging and the anime style was very good. But I have to admit that I did kinda skip 2 or 3 of the mid-way epasodes (I geus at the time I felt like I already new what was going to happan next) I resumed on epasode 8. By this time the theme seamed to be changing. Meny of the main characters where experienceing relationship complacations. And as the series progresed these problems becaim more and more evident. By epasode 10 the mood of the story was camplitly diferent from what it had been in the first half of the series. Through edasode 11 the mood continued to darken. (You know that feling you get when you know somthing realy bad is about to happan). After watching epasode 11 I was sure that this was'nt going to end well. And I was right. Epasode 12 (the last epasode)was somthing I simpaly could not have predicted. the ending was so violent.so disturbing... I hated it! 2 of the the main charicters were so brutaly murdered. The second beeing even more harific then the last. Neather of them disurved to die the way thay did. If you've seen the series and ending then you know the exact circumstances of what happan that Night. I don't know about you. But epasode 12 truly ruened it for me. It was days before those terable seans had finely faded from my mind. If You have'nt seen this series but get oround to wacthing it one-day. I strongly advise that You stop at epasode 11. Fore Your owne good. As for me. Needless to say I'll probobly never watch "School days" again. Well-then. I guess that's all I have to say. I just recintly wached “school days”.

DUUUUUUDE! She cut her boyfriend's dead head off, put it in a bowling bag, and showed it to the girl pregnant (possibly) with his child! That is the textbook definition of psychotic! She was even holding his head on a yacht at the end of the episode! I agree with this review almost completely.

How many writers can convincingly start an anime off convincing 99% of viewers that it's just your typical rom-com, and then totally blow away your mind with its unpredictability? I fail to see how the girls were just plot devices to move the story along. Each move Makoto made shocked me, and I loathe him. Yet this anime is (apart from the ending) one of the most real I have seen. I don't think I will re-watch it, but it's definately shocked me to the core. Beautiful writing, ecspecially when Katsura is losing her mind. Not artificial atall. If you want artificial, watch your typical rom-com (which by the way I love). I recommend it, if you have a strong capacity to hate. I’m sorry but I completely disagree with this blog’s view on the script writing.

And looks like many people have same opinion like me. <blockquote>"yeah im gonna have to say i wish i didnt watch this anime. like most of you have said, the first half of this anime was watchable and even interesting. but when things started to get ridiculous, i watched the rest purely out of my need for closure. and the ending. i watched this anime not knowing what to expect. in the latter half as people started to lose their sanity and all sense of rationale, i was still not prepared for the utter madness that was the ending. this anime left a seriously bad taste in my mouth that after 2 weeks, has still not subsided."</blockquote> So do I, after watching some episode, to be more precise it's at the point those girls lose their sanity and then things become ridiculous like what you said, i can't help but wish that i never watch this anime in the first place. <blockquote>"Like, there is usually some sort of backstory explaining why people are the way they are."</blockquote> True, this is one of many reasons why I hate it. The only "strong" backstory I found is Kiyora's and Katou's (even if there's no scene that showed it, she only said that Itou was a good person when he's in middle school). I see no reason why Itou can make those other girls have sex with him. Now this is what I means with they lose their sanity, and things really become ridiculous. At some point, it's kinda realistic (about a perverted guy who only aim for sex, no more, no less), but at another, it's really unrealistic (how the girls act and willing to have sex with that bastard for no apparent reason). For the whole episode (pre-ending) I always wish that bastard to die. I'm glad he really died in the last episode. I don't play the game, nor read any review about it before. That's why I'm kinda relieved after watch the ending. Gruesome ?? I prefer said "serve him right !!" Also "serve her right" for being a slut. It's all her fault anyway. You may said that she's the one who trigger the "beast" inside that bastard. Like Katsura said, if only she never did it in the first place, then everything (maybe) wouldn't happened. I feel sorry for Katsura, she's just an innocent girl. Well I can understand why she become a pshyco like that. She's just roneri. I agree with 49/100 score IF I hadn't watch the last episode. Since the last episode really the saviour, I agree with comment above me, I score it around 65/100. It's realistic, but at the same time it's not. If only they polished the girl part a little bit, maybe it would be an excellent series. Well I guess I can't expect much from anime that's adapted from H Game. I also write something in my blog about this series. And looks like many people have same opinion like me.

So do I, after watching some episode, to be more precise it’s at the point those girls lose their sanity and then things become ridiculous like what you said, i can’t help but wish that i never watch this anime in the first place.

“Like, there is usually some sort of backstory explaining why people are the way they are.”

At some point, it’s kinda realistic (about a perverted guy who only aim for sex, no more, no less), but at another, it’s really unrealistic (how the girls act and willing to have sex with that bastard for no apparent reason).

For the whole episode (pre-ending) I always wish that bastard to die. I’m glad he really died in the last episode. I don’t play the game, nor read any review about it before. That’s why I’m kinda relieved after watch the ending. Gruesome ?? I prefer said “serve him right !!”

Also “serve her right” for being a slut. It’s all her fault anyway. You may said that she’s the one who trigger the “beast” inside that bastard. Like Katsura said, if only she never did it in the first place, then everything (maybe) wouldn’t happened.

I feel sorry for Katsura, she’s just an innocent girl. Well I can understand why she become a pshyco like that. She’s just roneri.

I agree with 49/100 score IF I hadn’t watch the last episode. Since the last episode really the saviour, I agree with comment above me, I score it around 65/100.

It’s realistic, but at the same time it’s not. If only they polished the girl part a little bit, maybe it would be an excellent series.

Well I guess I can’t expect much from anime that’s adapted from H Game.

I just finished this anime and I have to say while it was exciting, there is no character development at all, only making it more confusing. Like, there is usually some sort of backstory explaining why people are the way they are. What the hell was up with that girl suddenly turning all insane- it just doesn't make sense. I don't think the "lesson" at the end was very good either. I'd like to think people wouldn't cheat for reasons other than "they'll get their shit ruined if they do" Overall, I don't think it deserves a 49%, because there were some enjoyable moments. More like a 65% WOW.

It interested me at first until I started feeling sorry for kotonoha then i just skipped through like episode 6 ~ 12... Personally, not my type of anime, Makoto was just such a ass and perv, like the biggest pervert i've ever seen with no common sense... This anime was different (and bad)... the only good thing about this anime.. was the music ^^;;...
