Whats was more twisted and Psychological?
Which one is more popular?

Animation:School days was produced in 2007 and the animation was decent for 2007.
Mirai Nikkis visuals for me were excellent and they set the tone.
Winner:Mirai Nikki

Sound:School Days hands down.The op was good but felt out of place but other than that every Piece of music in that show was perfect for my tone and several of the songs in it are in my I pod and i listen to them every day(Chiisana tan,Aoi Kajitsu,Waltz,Kioku no Umi etc.)
Mirai nikkis ost was so-so.
And Kanashimi mukoe to was just icing on the cake for school days

Winner:School Days

Main Character: Makoto is perhaps the most HATED character in the world.Seriously no joke.And thats what the producers wanted.Unlike many harem leads he had actual Character Development(Not in a good way though)
As far as Amano is concerned he had character development too and excellent one at that.He actually became kind of a deranged bad ass so

Winner:Mirai Nikki

Plot:School days didnt really have much of a plot.Mirai Nikki had one but it was pretty ludicrous.I liked both but

Winner:Mirai Nikki

Psychological Aspect:No while Someone might call me on this but Something like Mirai Nikki will never ever happen Shit like school days does.Maybe not to such a degree but its much more realistic and gritty then Mirai nikki.While you dont really feel for any of the characters in school days its still more acceptable.And frankly school days is a lot more Disturbing then Mirai Nikki because its not on a personal scale as school days is.

Winner:School Days

Characters:School days had maybe one or two redeeming characters in the support cast but the rest of them were dicks.This was exactly what Lantis wanted but mirai nikki simply had a better supporting cast

Winner:Mirai Nikki

Gore:Mirai nikki had this throughout but School days...just watch the end.

Winner:Tie

Shock Value:To the people who have watched both these shows....i dont really need to say more

Winner:School Days

Popularity:Which one of the two are more well known?
Google nice boat and you'll know

Winner:School Days

Yandere:The defining aspect of each of the shows are their respective Yanderes.While Yuno was a yandere throughout and she was completely obsessed with MC shes still not the person who basically invented and popularized the term.That was Kotonoha.Her descent into madness was one of the core aspects of school days and her Transformation was chilling

Winner:School Days

Voice acting:Both had excellent voice actors.While Mirai Nikkis overall cast was better than School Days.The 3 central characters shone in the latter.

Winner:Tie

And Finally...
Ending:Mirai nikkis ending was a letdown compared to the manga.I dont think i need say anything about school days.

Winner:School Days

Overall:While Mirai Nikki had much better Production Values School Day's superior music,shock end and Grit took it over the line in my Opinion

Winner:School Days

What do you guys think?

Both are equally shitty, Mirai Nikki has the worst characters though (of course, that's just my opinion).

Not really....while school days dragged a bit Mirai Nikki started getting boring halfway through...and also things like school days actually happen to a certain degree which make it all the more disturbing and finally in mirai nikki you can see the gore coming whereas in school days it just hits you...and feels so satisfying
And finally school days music and tone trumps mirai nikki

Disagree so hard. You said it yourself that Makoto was suppose to be unliked, and this is true. This doesn't mean he is a bad character, just an unlikable one. Meanwhile Amano is the definition of a beta MC with no redeeming characteristics. He does develop but by then his character is set in stone and I already lost hope for him. I have to give it to School Days on this.

To tell you the truth i agreed with that.But i was pretty sure that with the massive amount of dislike Makoto gets it would start a flame war.But yeah you're right,aside from Okazaki Tomoya makoto is one of the most original harem MCs or in any genre for that matter.

If a flame war is inevitable, then put on your fireproof suit and get ready for a fight because this thread would be HOT HOT HOT.

mirai nikki had actual story , better art , exciting moments , best yandere i'v seen , etc...
school days has only the ending going for it nothing else
an ending that made it from 3/10 anime to 6/10 ( imo) , i don't think an anime can be better than other just because it had more shocking good ending.

I have to agree with tsudecimo. School days was the weirdest experience I had with all the anime's I've watched. There wasn't really a story to follow... I really got confused after watching 5 episodes. And Mirai Nikki was easy to follow and the way the story was told was perfect.

I wouldn't consider School days "Psychological"
It's more of a Harem with a tragic ending depending on the routes you go.

School Days is great but then I mentioned all my reasons in my review for it...

I don't know if this can really be compared to Mirai Nikki though as they are both different anime genres and have completely different goals.

I still laugh at the School Days haters though that probably watched it thinking it would be like every single other anime harem these days. How wrong they are, it's something I praise it for, is definitely it's originality and dark tone.

Mirai Nikki was fun, I enjoyed the action throughout but other than Minene I didn't care too much for the characters. School Days, I liked Makoto(For being a "real" typical teenager), Setsuna, Sekai and Otome alot.

Charm (lolololol)
Originality (I'm serious)
Tragic for a douchebag like me.

Mirai Nikki sucks.

I'm kind of surprised you liked School Days' music more than Mirai Nikki's. Nothing in School Days stood out for me and the opening was bland and boring, at least Mirai Nikki's was more original than an average J-pop song and I enjoyed it more too. Each to his own I guess though.

I felt school days was just like K-on!, but if you replaced the moe with sleaze, apart from the ending. And the art work was awful, I really like Mirai Nikki a lot more.
I also feel as if School Days is just relying on its ending to make it noticeable and for its fame I'd say it's more infamy than anything. It has a lot of negative reviews, not just here on MAL but on youtube too.

I'm just naturally bias, but half of the reviews are a joke. Try reading some, and you'll find a stark difference between intelligent criticism and "WAAA THIS ISN'T CLANNAD ROMANCE 0/10".

As far as the music goes...i believe that mirai nikkis soundtrack is good...but there are many other osts similar to it.School days opening felt out of place but it was still good and its end songs were amazing.As far as the ost goes
tell me a single song in mirai nikki that gets a dark feeling withiin you by using just two instruments like Aoi Kajitsu

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTVeLRW5jiU

and then theres these two as well

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0M1CuYQY6U

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCna0D18ixM

There are very few anime osts or fact any osts that can use so few instruments and produce pieces like this.School day's ost in my book is one of the most provoking osts in anime behind only masterpieces like Clannad's.

And as far as the MC goes mirai nikkis was generic as hell...and makoto gave us something different.Unlikeable but different.Mirai nikkis manga was excellent but the anime was subpar.
Oh and btw Kotonoha was the one who made the term Yandere as popular as it was.Yuno was just weird and i felt the writer was just trying too hard with her.And then there really isnt a reason for Yuno to be this obsessive over Yuki.

I'll check those songs out when my internet speed returns (FML living in a country with capped data per month) and I guess I'll comment then.
I'd say Yuno's obsession over Yuki is more justifiable than Makoto being so popular, he's shown to be socially awkward when he's on his dates and not particularly good at anything. At least Mirai Nikki attempts to explain it with Yukki being caged, starved and deprived of human intimacy.

Makoto was always a nice enough guy and seems decent enough in looks, so he was always a bit of a catch. He is shy but tries his best (which isn't very good, but he has heart).

Additionally, Mirai Nikki just used Yuno being caged somewhat as a Deus ex Machina to explain her yandereness while School Days goes deep into Kotonoha slowly wearing down and losing it. Being a bully victim about something you can't control on top of your only two friends ditching you takes a mental toll and is completely believable to happen IRL, while locking your daughter in a cage for some damn unknown reason just seems absurd.

(being caged , mistreated , fed grass , being balmed for stuff that is not her fault) by a someone who she consider her real mother and her hopes of a happy family being cushed isn't enough to explain her yanderness ?
also yuno doesn't love and obsess over yuki only because he promised her a future in the first world yuki was actually dependaple not a wimp as his 2nd world counter part

Nice guy? The show's based around him being a pushy douchebag and when does it say he's good looking?
She's locked in the cage because her mother was mentally ill and wanted the "perfect daughter". A little absurd and over the top but I have no problem with it being in an anime, or believing it. It's not like there aren't over the top mothers in the world and that there aren't occasional problems with parents expecting too much from their children.

Makoto was somewhat nice towards the start of the show.And everyone seems to think that all the girls were in love with whereas only 4 were out of which two were justified(Setsuna ,Otome)As far as kotonohas obsession is concerned its much more realistic for a shy introverted girl whos never had any friends and alwayss been bullied to fall madly in love with the one guy who acknowledges her than for Yunos story since they actually showed her transformation it was just more chilling and realistic then yuno where i felt they just did it for the sake of it.Plus i never really cared for yuno

It's not a bad reason, but just seems out of place and sudden. Nothing foreshadowed or dropped hints to this happening, and it all seems nonbelievable.

He ended up sleeping with 7 people, at his age that's pretty wut? for someone with so little going for him. And being shy and nice doesn't make you pull unless you have other redeeming qualities. And Kotonoha had the other guy chasing after her all the time. Can't remember his name but makoto certainly wasn't the only one who acknowledged her, she was known for being good looking anyway.

They could hardly show Yuno's transformation over the course of the anime anyway, it's supposed to be like a flashback and adding that context earlier would have both damaged the flow of the story and would, in my opinion, damage Yuno's character. She's supposed to be interesting and the viewers supposed to question who she is and why she's so messed up. As for foreshadowing her personality and Yukki's visit to her house work for that, the viewer knows she's not normal and that her family is broken and there are corpses in her destroyed house. That's plenty of foreshadowing and a lot of emphasis is put on what Yukki saw when he went there.

I said at the START of the anime.Sekai had already said that he was popular with the girls for whatever reason.Also he slept with all those girls because they LET him.Several teenagers at that stage of their life would have done the same.Its not like he raped any of them.Also in yunos case her yandere transformation didnt really affect people as much as Kotonohas.I mean hers was just plain disturbing.There are several people who will dismiss school days without any intelligent criticism but those who dont want to see fairytale love and some realism will acknowledge it whether its good as mirai nikki or not.And yuno wasnt really that interesting...at least to me.

Err, I know you said at the start. And I took it as Sekai trying to be friendly to him. Kotonoha didn't like him at this point and the rest of the girls slept with him "cause yolo" and "cause if I sleep with this guy who's sleeping around he'll remain loyal to my friend" These characters and their reasons for what they did were slapped on quickly with little or no foreshadowing and don't get me wrong, it's not like I really have a problem with it. But it just makes the majority of the show seem boring and slow in my opinion. Sure Kotonoha's transformation was bad and all, but it wasn't the best I've seen, even if it does have more effect than Yuno's backstory.

And even acknowledging realism I don't think it was that good. I just didn't like how it seemed to rely so much on the ending. I liked Mirai Nikki more, not because it was more shocking, but because I enjoyed the entire story, not just the ending.

Well its true that school days owes a lot of its fame to the ending but there were several other aspects of the show that were great as well.The music the tone and the originality.It was a perfect breakdown and deconstruction of the harem genre whereas mirai nikki(even the manga) was an excellent show but it wasnt something that changed the entire Mystery genre.The girls slept with makoto of their own selfish desire and as far as setsuna is is concerned she made herself think that she was doing it for sekai but deep down she new she loved makoto.Also its never actually shown that they sleep together.Also mirai nikkis anime ending was a huge letdown.

School Days >>> Mirai Nikki(anime)


This. I prefer School Days more.


Though are they even comparable to begin with? Or just because of Yandere shit?

The girls in school days where nowhere near as pyschotic as Yuno.

But Kotonoha was realistic and had a long transformation from normal to yandere. Yuno was just "lolparentproblems" and never had an interesting character to switch from yan to dere from.

I agree.Again yuno is unrealistic whereas deranged freaks like kotonoha exist.Also just looking at the yandere form of kotonoha is disturbing when you compare her with the timid girl shown 11 episodes ago

I too agree. Kotonoha has more problem. Her love was so poisioned.
School Days is still better for realistic. When i played in School Days HQ (Viusal Novels) i see more emotions unlike anime and more dramatic endings. For me best ending in anime would, when

This.
Several people like me who had played through most of the visual novels endings were still shocked.

I know this has nothing to do with Mirai Nikki and School Days but....
Shinsekai Yori(From the New World) check it out if you haven't.

But I guess I liked Mirai Nikki cause of Minene.

School Days is much more psychological and realistic, Mirai Nikki is a survival show for babies.

School Days hands down. Isn't even a competition.

I didn't watch Mirai Nikki too long ago and it's already a forgotten memory. School Days I will remember for the rest of my life. Good stuff.

I consider School Days far superior. The reason is the following:
Mirai Nikki was 'merely' a decent form of entertainment that had a certain style, plot twists etc.
School Days, however, had an incredibly strong impact and left a deep impression that partially still remains years after watching it.

I'm quite surprised at all the support SD is receiving. Everywhere I go it is thrashed around endlessly and I don't think I've ever actually seen a positive comment about it outside of here.

But either way, I've never actually seen SD, only the ending, but I've seen numerous reviews and it sounds terrible (Granted those reviews were more intended for entertainment)

Never seen Mirai Nikki either, so I don't have an opinion.

I personaly prefer Mirai Nikki to School Days Because of the Fucked up Personality of Yuno Gasai. The only good thing about School Day was the end wich was Hilarious the rest was totally boring.
(Only saw manga version of both work though)

Neither of them are really that redeeming to me for a series I would watch again.

Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is.

Those reviews are awful. The youtube reviews of SD are a prime example of what not to do when reviewing. Especially the review with that guy who's wearing a fedora and there's ecchi anime posters in the background. Fuck that guy. The AnimeZone guy is an idot as well. He said it couldn't be satire because it wasn't realistic enough. Motherfucker has no idea what satire is. I think he also talked about the "melodrama" like dumped preggo bitches don't go crazy all the time. Ans she had the right tbh.
