Synopsis

High school student Makoto Itou first notices Kotonoha Katsura at the start of his second semester, freshman year. Immediately, he becomes entranced by her beauty, but his bashfulness doesn't allow him to approach her, even though they ride the same train every day. Instead, he snaps a photo of her in secret and sets it as his cell phone's wallpaper: a charm that, if kept under wraps, would supposedly help you realize your love. However, classmate Sekai Saionji spots the picture, but instead of ratting him out, she offers to help set him up with Kotonoha—going so far as befriending her just for him. Thus, the trio begins a rather impromptu friendship.

School Days follows the lives of these three teenagers as they traverse the joys and hardships that come with being a high schooler. In a story alive and brimming with romance and melancholy, the tale of these three students will linger in memory long after the momentous conclusion.

Background

At midnight on September 18, 2007, the final episode of the TVK program was cancelled without notice, and a travelogue program showing castles and boats was shown instead with the message, "Due to circumstances, the program has been changed." In fact, the day before the last episode was aired, a 16-year-old girl was murdered in Kyoto Prefecture, which led to the postponement and cancellation of the last episode with a similar murder scene.

In my ideal world, more anime would be like School Days. School Days is daring and deceptively intelligent. It disarms the viewer and builds to a crescendo rivalling that of a Greek tragedy, except that there are no heroes here. Instead, School Days is an exercise in unabashed nastiness: whenever you think that it couldn't possibly get any worse, it exceeds itself. It's mean-spirited, unpleasant and difficult to watch... and that's the entire point. I respect art that doesn't attempt to please, but instead, attempts to be unique: for better or worse, School Days is unique and that's why I hold it in high-esteem.

First of all and probably the most important thing to say. School Days is not your typical romance anime.
It starts out pretty innocent and cliche but quickly turns into a sort of... "darker themed" romance in lack of a better description before just going balls to the wall crazy in the end.

To quickly summarize. Boy likes girl, girl likes boy, they become a couple, other girls like boy, boy has... "commitment issues"... and the ending is something not to be spoiled but experienced, cause again, they went balls to the wall with that one

The show does a very good job in showing how shitty a ...

School Days: the anime that makes you question your life choices and wonder if you'd be better off pursuing a career as a professional rock collector. It's like they took a perfectly good teen drama and put it in a blender set to 'utter insanity.'

First off, let's talk about the main character, Makoto. I've seen cardboard cutouts with more personality. He's the kind of guy who would probably choose a sandwich over his own girlfriend because it's less demanding.

The animation quality is like a roller-coaster – not because it's thrilling, but because it goes up and down more times than a yo-yo on a ...
