Obligatory fanservice at the pool episode... I thought it was nicely done, pretty classy.

... I thought it was going to end with the Sekai-kiss-in-the-rain... dude needs to learn to slow down.

Ahhh, finally something interresting happening!

You know, I could feel bad for that super dumbass of Makoto if he wasn't constantely trying to cheat on his girlfriend and if he didn't ended up cheating on his girlfriend. I mean, he was going out with a girl he was feeling unconfortable (and for that, I can understand him, at least for the episode 1 to 4). But he ended up cheating on her and Sekai let him do so. Now I feel bad for Kotohana, especially since she tried so hard to please him in that episode.

The situation remind me a bit of White Album 2 for now, though, the story was way better and serious in White Album. In School Days, it feel like a shitty rom-com slowly turning in a cliche harem drama.

I can't believe he won't just break up with Katsura. Sure it may break her heart, but it would be better then getting further into their "relationship" and then he won't be cheating anymore. This is infuriating. He's such and asshole!

Like I mentioned before, the relationship between Makoto, Sekai, and Katsura is just too cliche. You see these kind of relationships all the time in high school.


Yeah, in real life. But in anime? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

I think people aren't getting the point of this series. It seems to me you're meant to hate the characters, and that's what keeps you watching. Who the fuck is gonna defend Makoto or Sekai? Makoto is a cheater and Sekai is a man stealer. You don't cheat on your girlfriend and you don't involve yourself sexually or romantically with someone who has a girlfriend (or boyfriend). Sekai started with her ridiculous "practice" sessions or whatever, which were clearly her trying to get sum fug with Makoto without actually "cheating" even though it totally is still cheating anyway. You can't defend either of them and neither can you justify what either of them are doing. Anybody trying to do so is probably a cheater themselves.

But that's the entire point of the series; it's a fucked up, dysfunctional romantic drama. In fact, it's like an American teen drama, and it just so happens those are my guilty pleasure.

Kinda irritates me seeing people hate on Katsura as well just because she's really shy when she's clearly been the most innocent. It may surprise you folk to know that not every girl in real life is loud mouthed and manipulative like Sekai is (at least subconsciously, 'cause you can't say her interactions with Makoto from their first kiss to now weren't manipulative), and not every girl wants to give it up with a guy she'd just barely started dating. Some girls have self-respect, and Makoto was a douche for trying to get anything else out of her and make her feel bad for it when she clearly wanted to take things slowly like some girls in real life actually still want. I don't blame him - at least not until he turned into a cheating scumbag - but he was still a douche for it.

Funny how some will complain Katsura isn't realistic (even though she is) while others complain the anime as a whole is too realistic and that's why it's boring. Go figure.

Why does this anime feel so predictable. I knew from the get go he was more interested in Senkai and knew he would cheat. I feel this animes ending is not going be a very resolution filled one either. Poor Kotonoha, she deserves better.

But nice fanservice episode and I enjoy that Kotonoha is being more confidennt even though Matoka is a cheater

Actually I think this anime is pretty realistic, people cheat on each other all the time, which is pretty sad, but people like Makoto actually exist. This show obviously wants to make me hate a character and it's succeeding at that, so that works for the series.
And it isn't afraid to clearly show that those teenagers actually have sex too and not just talking about it and fussing over holding hands and kissing alone!

Well I don´t really get it why you hate these characters. I think none of them did anything wrong. Maybe it´s because of it that I don´t see anything wrong in polygamy and so called cheating...

You guys keep saying it's not Sekai's fault too?
Both Sekai and Makoto are being incredibly disrespectful towards Kotonoha.
Before they even think of doing something, he should have broke it off with Kotonoha. Sekai should have not invited him back or at least not let him in her room, and Makoto should have stopped touching her when she said to stop.

It should have been:
"Sekai I love you."
"Hey, Makoto, I have feelings too, but I'm not comfortable with you dating Kotonoha and telling me this. You need to decide what you want. I'm also sorry for setting you up with her in some passive aggressive attempt for you to see that I like you and I should have just told you upfront."
"Okay, let me talk to Kotonoha first before we decide on anything."

Makoto has got to be the worst character in any anime I've ever come across before. He really is the worst. He says he doesn't care about Katsura, confesses to Sekai and RAPES her. She said no and he proceeded. That IS rape. I hate him so much.

seriously, i was about to drop this show at the end of this episode... makoto is frustrated that kotonoha is too high maintenance (when in reality, she's not), but decides not to break up with her before getting physical with sekai (who has been totally leading him on up to this point).
this is the kind of drama i saw in college, not high school.
sure, makoto is a douche, but i don't hate him; this is everyone's first relationship, and they're just making stupid mistakes without considering the consequences.

but then i remembered why i was recommended to watch school days: the tennis scene from clannad's episode "counter measures"


this is the emotion i'm looking for: that soul-crushing moe moment of teary-eyed anguish.
and now i have to see this train wreck through to the end.

also,

That IS rape.

i agree; sekai said "no" and makoto didn't stop. one might argue that she is only objecting because she doesn't want her actions to hurt her friendship with with kotonoha or harm her relationship with makoto, but really: no means no.

What a fu**ing dirty pig MC.
Katsura has done nothing wrong for him to start behaving like that... In fact, she's done everything right so far. Love her gentle personality.

Everytime he makes one of those 'I'm unhappy' facial expressions it makes me wanna stab him right in the face. What an ungrateful F*CK. He's incapable of thinking with the right head.

This anime is taking a really weird turn. WTF

P.S- By the way, someone should cut his perverted hands off and let some wolves eat them.

Well I don't think that was rape. What I got from that final scene is that she's only saying 'No' because she know that it is unfair for Kotonoha, her friend. Yet... she clearly wants him.

I kinda guessed this was going to happen. Sekai has been blatantly leading him to this point. They should both die :) Those 2 pigs...

Wow, can the drama feel any more forced? First Makoto falls head over heels for Katsura because he thinks she's beautiful, but then he grows bored almost as fast as he fell in love because he can't touch her breasts first thing in the relationship. Sekai is worthless as well. She's not a timid person, which she pretty much proved, yet she didn't have the stones to confess and start doing this roundabout shit which doesn't match her character. How can she love someone who just loves the person who lets him touch her the most? Apparently it doesn't matter whom. This is some shallow shit, indeed.

This was the first episode I actually enjoyed. The show is slowly getting better.

To the episode: Makoto kind of came into the relationship with Katsura because of Sekai, and he didn't seem all to sure what he wants. Now he found out what he wants, and that is Sekai. It's a problematic situation for sure, but so far as that I think it is understandable.

The point were I disagree with his behavior here is to sleep with Sekai before explaining to Katsura. Breaking up with her first and then to go on to Sekai would have been much better, but I guess he doesn't have the guts for that.
He will have to hurt Katsura no matter what, but it's better to do it face to face and honest, instead of cheating on her. But as said it takes some courage to do so, and he doesn't seem to have that.

In summary, I don't think Makoto is a pervert or an asshole. He simply is a coward. With that he might not be a particularly admirable character, but he is a realistic one.

Maybe that is what angers so many people about him and this anime: How realistic this "bad" behavior is. Most moral standards are put up with the assumption that "human is good", deep down at least. But in reality, it's not that easy. Humans have at least as much "bad" in them as "good", if not more.

Makoto is only interested in fucking anything than moves, Sekai is a slut who set this whole cheating thing up with her ridiculous 'special training', and Kotonoha needs to grow out of her shojo manga cliches (though she's doing pretty good on that front, she's just really unlucky that her boyfriend is such a manslut trash)

Wow dat MC. 10/10.
Maybe because of him every post-school days "harem" series has a MC thats afraid of girls?

Finally Kotonoha stops beeing annoying as calls in the middle of the night "Whats up, its late? Where you sleeping? YES! Ok not important then. GRRRR"

But hey, Sekai and Makoto fit better together anyway.

PS: feel sorry for kokoro, I like her.

Kotonoha was incredibly sweet in this episode. I agree with what others have said: She is opening up and being much bolder than before - and happier! It was so sweet to see her smile when they were hugging. I feel so bad for her for what is going to happen to her.

Damn, though, that whole end sequence with the text messages was well-done. Romantic, erotic and tragic all at once.

Makoto really hits moral rock bottom at 21:03 when Sekai says "this is mean to Katsura-san" and he responds: "I don't care about Kotonoha." This one line shows his scummy nature. Yahari saitei.

Can we stop with the slut-shaming? There is nothing wrong with a girl who wants to have sex. Blame Sekai for encouraging Makoto to cheat, fine. But don't blame her for wanting sex. That's asshole-ish.

Exactly.

But apparently Makoto doesn't think he is her boyfriend. At 16:39 Sekai says "Makoto is Katsura-san's boyfriend", to which Makoto replies: "No! I'm not..." So Makoto doesn't think he and Kotohona are in a relationship. He thinks her feelings for him are an annoyance. He feels no responsibility towards her. This does not excuse his behaviour, of course, but it can explain why he is so quick to hit on Sekai.

In episode 5 the camera has moved so we just barely cannot see her nipples (hence she no longer counts as truly nude):

I feel like you took my quote out of context, because my original statement was a defense of Kotonoha wishing to take her relationship more slowly than Sekai, not slut-shaming Sekai for wanting sex.

If you're focusing on the "some girls have self-respect" line specifically, regardless of everything else, I understand how that comment has a rather condescending connotation, but it has nothing to do with wanting sex. That is merely my belief that relationships should be taken slowly and one's physical desires should much less influence over how one addresses their relationship than they usually do. I don't think this is the forum for that discussion, though.

Poor Kotonha. She's trying her hardest yet these two fuckwits are just screwing her over. Who is the target demographic for this show? I genuinely can't imagine someone actually obtaining enjoyment from seeing an innocent girl like Kotonha have her high school life ruined by an asshole and a slightly-less asshole. It was obvious from the beginning that Sekai and Makoto were going to end up together, but the way this is progressing is leaving a really bad taste in my mouth.
