This anime evoke so many extreme emotion out of me it's amazing.
Like, anger, disgust, sadness, shock, to the point of wanting to throw my laptop, and the ending is the best of all. It's truly a roller coaster of a show. Which is a good thing imo.

I like School Days. The anime is literally an advertisement for the Visual Novel...The credits theme for episode 12 is this:



The visual novel theme song.

I think school days anime has such a low score because the title and description attract an audience that wants a feel good anime, and it is a psychological thriller in essence. I find it sad that everyone hates makoto, but he is the only one that really acts like a normal teenager. Both sekai and kotonoha take teen angst to sociopathic extremes, however makoto acts just as you'd expect a teenage boy to act in stressful situations.

Well because it mirrors the flaws in our youths .As a teenager when sex drive is at the highest you would tend to opt for the wrong choices without any supervision but going to extremities like killing a person over that is psycopathic

Easy: Butthurt harem fans who hated how it ended.

Though I gotta admit, their rage makes me like it more. Schadenfreude at it's finest.

Everyone hates these anime because they see the caracters as psycopaths and illogical but that is because we see the perspective from all the caracters, so makoto doesn’t know what the girls are going through. Even if he cheated, he didn’t know it was that bad, he just wanted sex and use every girl.
So that’s why a lot of people hated but finally we see how makoto regret all and goes for kotonoha who was fucking crazy.
This anime start as an usual one but then it becomes much darker.

Because it's most uninteresting characters, dropped quality, crappy storyline and cringy-worth watching written like The Promised Neverland Season 2 which get more hater than Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and Black Clover (TV) by other users. It's from 7.04 dropped down to only 5.65 score rating which I hated this lol... Here is my School Days TV anime review:

I don't like this anime, and I do believe 5/10 is a deserved mark.
But I don't like it because it was a boring setting and the characters aren't memorable. It's just all dull.

The concept was brillant though. There are very few anime stories like this one, showing the consequences of cheating.

What went wrong then?
Well, most characters have no depth, they're all just horny teens, period. Makoto has the same issue as many other harem protagonists: his popularity comes out of nowhere.
I think this story would have worked much better if he was the archetype of a popular boy. Instead, we get the archetype of an otaku, socially anxious and not really handsome... and he's still extremely popular, every girl wants to f*ck him.


That said, all those reviews giving it a 2 or so because "MC is an absolute trash!" are freaking retarded. It's the whole point of the story. If you felt he was trash, that means it worked.
Everything changes. Even the happy and funny things eventually disappear. How can I still enjoy this place then?

I went into this show with shoddy knowledge of the ending from 10 years ago. I honestly think that knowing the ending's main idea but not remembering who does what or what exactly happens helped me enjoy this show a lot (would recommend doing this). I thought it would be very bad but the characters were realistic. Yes I hated most of the characters, but that was the point, and made me look forward to the ending even more. I'll probably rate this a 6 or even a 7, was pretty fun.

This show has big meme status so people who watch it at this point go into it hoping for something great, but instead most of it is just a highschool soap opera, which leaves them disappointed because they probably expected more. As my friend told me 10 years ago, it's not worth it just to see the context for the ending. If you remember the ending well then it's not worth seeing the whole show. And if you don't know the ending then you might not understand that you are supposed to hate the characters and just find it boring and unwatchable.

This anime start as an usual one but then it becomes much darker.
9/10


So why exactly do we naturally understand how bad it is but he doesn't ?
It's not like makoto is an alien that doesn't comprehend human society.
We see this as illogical because that is exactly what it is. Your explanation doesn't fix this anime tbh.


This anime starts out usual and then turns into a cascade of stupid people making incredibly bad decisions that are simply unrealistic and unbelievable.
The idea that any girl could like makoto is an astronomical event but somehow every female in the universe wants to fuck him because being stupid is apperantly hot in this universe. I guess missing 2-3 chromosomes just makes everything want to mate with him.

It's a 2/10 anime .
Being dark is not the same as being good. I love dark anime .But there is more to quality then that
The idea has potential but the execution is an absolute Trainwreck

Not very constructive though.

Bad means very little without context. How/why is it bad? The characters? The setting? What?

Anyway, I only really liked Kotonoha Katsura, thought she was cute and wasn't needlessly aggressive and I have added context from her as a character from both the VN and wiki. Taking that out the anime is just kind of an edgy show which should really be called "Everybody hates Kotonoha".

It's supposed to be about miscommunication in relationships short version but since the decisions made by Makoto are so absurd they go beyond believability and everyone is inexplicably hostile which is kind of integral for a show trying to tackle this sort of issue.

I'd just recommend the VN/Eroge series over the anime. You have some control over Makoto's actions, for example you can choose not to cheat (because it's a pretty easy idea) and a fully animated VN is still pretty novel and unique.

its true that bad by itself isn't very constructive but do we really want to list every failure of school days now ?
i would be down for it but it might take a while

i totally agree that the VN is probably the way to go .
the thing that really kills this anime is that its just stupid people making incredibly awful and unbelievable choices .

if those choices are made by the player the story cant really be blamed.
but that doesn't really safe the anime :)

I suppose not. Just more of "If I didn't know what the show was then context would be helpful.""

And yeah. Sadly the VN doesn't address everything with depth such as the aggressive characters from my experience (looking at Otome Katou as an example) but it does expand on Sekai and Kotonoha a bit more. Most of it comes down to parenting and their environment but a few other things. It can be an interesting character study.

Now the VN can have some contrivance or stupidity (mostly to keep the drama going) but Makoto can be alot more reasonable and more understandably frustrated.

I just think that the anime is a bit better with more context but I also agree though that on it's own it is really bad and from someone who's played the VN it's like he purposefully chose all the wrong options and flip flopped.

But it's an interesting show, very rarely will you see people hate an MC that much from all crops of life.

Very rarely do you want to also strangle the other characters in the series, just not as bad as the MC.

And very rarely would just get such intense reaction from people who choose to watch it.

But how many anime school shows have been completely forgettable because they follow a generic plot or is your typical school harem.

How many school anime has created something like School Days and caused such a reaction that it has become a meme?

Most school anime shows are forgettable, School Days, not so much. Once you watch it, it is burnt into your head as you want to rip your monitor off and throw it out the window.

MC Keyaru from redo of healer is still better than Makoto, because Makoto is just a perverted schoolboy and only wants sex.

And I'm very annoyed with Makoto's behavior that makes kotonoha go crazy.

I was satisfied at the ending when he was killed.

ACTUAL LOGICAL ANSWER SO I SUGGEST YOU READ

Simple answer:
The Bandwagon Effect which is, "a psychological phenomenon in which people do something primarily because other people are doing it, regardless of their own beliefs, which they may ignore or override" - Investopedia

School Days has clearly become a golden example of this phenomenon.

"I bet you say this because you love the anime, and are just being biased!".

No, I am not being biased I am just being realistic. Talking about School Days with people and hearing them say it's terrible, without giving it a chance and knowing nothing about it furthers my reasoning. "What is the worst anime?" School days for some inexplicable reason became that answer. People hate this for the sake of hating it. If you'd like to know what I am talking about, try it out yourself. Hearing all the hate there is a better likelihood of you going in with a negative viewpoint where you can allow yourself to enjoy it. HELL read other people's responses and see how stupid and repetitive they are.
