School Days

This anime starts off like a normal high school romance anime, but if that's the only thing your looking for I would stay away. The show itself is very well written, and has very good characters and development. I will try and give no hint at spoilers here, but that's rather difficult. The show involves a love triangle where a high school boy seems to have to make a choose between a new-found friend, or his new girlfriend. The difference between this show, and other high school romance anime is a serious tone. Most bad reviews written about this show are from people who were expecting a different genre. If you are open minded I don't see any reason why you wouldn't enjoy this show.

For a matter of fact this anime is good, the problem is the characters, each one of them seems to have only one motive and all of them just feel really flat and unfinished and, yes I know "read the manga" they say but the way this anime's plot has been planned out just quite litterly feels shallow with only the ending just being a WTF moment for me, all the other events are pretty much unnecessary or are just there to make the runtime longer. If you are a man of culture give this one a watch, but if you are looking for a mind-bending story to get invested in this ain't gonna be your cup of tea. 7/10

Wow ok, so I watched this anime a long time ago and completely forgot about everything that happened in it except for the ending and I randomly decided I wanted to rewatch it, and now I wonder why/how I liked it so much back then.

I now get why love triangles are so hated, cuz this is the worst and most frustrating love triangle I've ever watched in anything ever, seriously, I hated seeing Kotonoha not only getting bullied by almost everyone on the show for no reason but also going back to the worst guy.

Really, I hated Makoto and Sekai back then and I still do now, although I don't really get why I liked Setsuna so much when she too was extremely mean to Kotonoha, I know she at least had a reason but it was still frustrating.

The show was at least a 2 out of 10 but a 4 out of 10 with the ending, it's honestly amazing that they went for one of the worst ending in the School Days game and I just have to respect it.

Anyway, Screw Makoto, Screw Sekai and honestly screw everybody else except best girl Kotonoha, I'm so glad she got her revenge at the end, not saying how exactly even if I feel like everyone knows it by now.

Not for the faint of heart, this anime misleads you at first with vibrant backdrops, beautiful animation, and positive themes like friendship and love. However, Love very quickly loses it's hold on the story as more and more characters are introduced and the downward spiral begins.

If you're anything like me and get attached to characters instantly you'll find at least one character you're rooting for, but as you descend through the chaos and deepening darkness you should start to feel something for almost every single character.

The way School Days gradually and carefully shifts gears is incredible, as you realize all the dark themes were there since the start, subtly.

And the darker and darker it gets you are constantly reminded by the title name that even though the matters at hand are so small and trivial, in "School Days" love, or what you think is love, can be all that matters, and it make can or break your entire "world."

Well, this review will be rather short for I don't have a lot to say about this series.

First of all, there is nothing wrong with the animation itself, it is good enough for today's standards. The story is well build and all the other technical details are also good.

However, The story starts as a regular high school comedy. Up to the third/fourth chapter everything goes well. They build you to think the story is totally different to how its going to be. In the fifth chapter, the plot thickens. I'm not really going to say how because I think I could be spoiling the series for you but if you have watched the movie Thirteen and you multiply what you felt there for a thousand you may get how I felt when I watched it.

There is other good things about this series like the fact that it is completely different than most series, characters are not cliché and most importantly it shows a social reality that everyone is aware of but nobody really thinks about. (Most guys date tons of women without carrying for their feelings).

This series scarred me for life.... This is by far the heaviest series you will ever see. Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't sleep in like 3 days and some of the stuff still hunts me all day long.

I do notttt recommend you this series.. however I do encourage you to watch it (or at least try to) if you think this kind of stuff does not affect you a lot (its good to watch something different to what you usually watch).But... Consider your self warned.
