The writers are fucked up in the head. Not much more to add. And what is it about people rating this because it shocks and provides some sort of mixed emotion? You wouldn't rate stoning or beheading video's - they do the same.

What a god damn awful anime if ever. How I wish I never watched it.

I found the characters detestable and the story--idonteven...
even 4kids would've made it better. hur hur..
I mean, if everyone wasn't so messed up with their desires, I wouldn't hate it so much.
If you're looking for something innocent, Kimi ni Todoke or Otomen!! Goodness, those characters are just fabulous. It makes me feel like a dirty gaijin [jk jk].

Yes, it was rather realistic and good in a psychological perspective I guess IMO, but every character was messed up. That's when I feel bugged. If everyone being messed up is reality, then sorry I;m too ignorant to see it.
I know I should keep the game and show separate, but my dislike is for the series, not just the anime.

I can't say I enjoyed watching it, since the characters are so contemptible. However, I do not regret watching it. Sure I couldn't stop thinking about it after watching it, mainly because I hated the characters so much, but I think that's one of the redeeming features of this anime. It's quite refreshing to see an anime like this amidst all the harem animes.

I think I'm going to go read the manga later.

I agree. Objectively, this is a great anime with well developed characters and is very realistic. However, many anime watchers (maybe just me?) are looking for an escape from their reality. Makes me kinda sad to see how despicable people can realistically be.

This anime was one of my most contradicting. I hated all but 3 of the characters. kotonoha, kokoro, and that one rapist person. tai-somthing.... all of them did not deserve anything bad, and do not deserve to be stoned to death by an angry mob. unlike everyone else. and sestsuna...... wow.... i hated her the most after makoto.... she was not constant in her resolve..... it bugged the hell out of me.....

What the FUCK are you guys talking about!? This is so disgusting and irritating that I was just about to stab the screen when Sekai actually did it. This no way real life. Don't tell me I'm being too emotional over an anime but I can't help but hate this. This characters, this setup, this music... Ah, actually it feels wrong to call them characters. Although some of them are, were, thinking innocent but most of them are worser than the BITCHES you see in the street.

Everything just blown to pieces when that whore did it... ah, who was it? hMM, it seems I can't remember who it is... since there is a bunch of them! :@@

Why don't you people REWATCH it or sth? HA?

To be perfectly honest, I'm jealous of you if you think people being driven insane by love and relationships gone wrong is unrealistic. It is my sincere hope that you are never disillusioned. You may, however, consider checking the statistics before you dismiss homicide as unrealistic.

Is murder wrong? Absolutely.

Is it detestable? Yes.

Despicable? Sure.

Sickening? I'll give ya that.

Unrealistic? You wish. (I do, too.)


Sorry, folks, but people are fucked up and that's just how it is. :(

Actually I have read the manga, it isn't really better or worst but rather different. As for the game I plan on playing School Days HQ once it's been fully translated. By the way I'd like to make it clear that I do like this series, it's just a little boring though.

I don't see how some people can say that this anime has realistic characters or label it realistic in general. Sure the 'theme' of the anime and it's premise is realistic. Yes, people are capable and do this sort of thing, the ending included. But the characters or story realistic? Hardly. The main character basically has sex with every single girl he meets in the series, yet what is the basis for his success? Is he really good looking? Is he rich? Is he a suave or charming character? Perhaps he's a sports star? The answer is invariably no. Though maybe the explanation is that all the girls are sluts? Not really true either since even sluts cling to reason when searching for a mate. And the girls, for whatever reason, are only sleeping with him.

I did not watch this show. I read a synopsis, skimmed through a couple videos and etc. I found it pretty sickening. There's no way people like that exist. It just blows my mind.

I can watch Dexter rip people to shred with ease, but this anime pierces through my heart as a piece of fiction I sincerely hope doesn't exist.

amen.

be aware of spoilers and fowl language below....







on another note, im on episode 6 and i think its going to go stabby.

(edit) episode 7 now i think im gonna puke

(edit)episode 8, i wanna kill not only makoto, but all the characters as well

(edit) still on 8, i was screaming : YOU BROUGHT THIS UPON YOURSELF ASSHOLE ! or SOMONE STAB SOMEONE ELSE ALREADY, JUST KEEP Katsura ALIVE!!!!!

(edit) finished episode 8, im all like, WTF IS THIS!!!!! ITS LIKE A FUCKIN LOVE QUADRILATERAL OR SQUARE OR WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANNA CALL IT!!!

(edit) episode 9, very well kill katsura too or maybe not.....and FUCK THIS SHOW!!!! THIS SHOW HAS MORE PEOPLE LIKING EACH OTHER THAN I CAN MAKE WITH A JEWISH STAR!!!!!

(edit) episode 10, its funny or should i say, FUCKED UP THAT HE HAS SLEPT WITH ALMOST EVERY GIRL BESIDES HIS GIRLFRIEND!!!!! YOSH!!! LETS GET STABBY!!!!!

(edit) episode 11, HAHAHA THE JEWISH STAR JUST BECAME A TRIANGLE WIT LIKE, 13 different lines!!!! i think i want to kill makoto more than any of the girls in this show combined

(edit) episode 12, hmmmm how should i say this..... EVERYONE GOT PWND!!!!!! hahaha.... nah but really this anime taught me 3 things. theres right way of doin things and theres the wrong way. another is cherish what you have, be considerate and dont become greedy. last and bot least is.... don't fuck around with woman unless you want to be shanked in the stomach more times than being attacked by a really horny guy in prison that you just pissed off. the only good thing i can draw from this anime is realism, this shit happens everyday at your school/workplace and theres nothing we can do about it. i guess it went over the top at the end and i like katsura the best, and i would like to have a girlfriend like her,(until she went psycho of course =D)


P.S : i think katsura needs to see a therapist,ok all the characters, OK maybe i think i need to see a therapist ,hell, i think anyone involving this anime in any way should see a therapist!

I can't really see how this is realistic, Makoto is a normal guy nothing special and suddenly the whole class wants to do him? Trust me I've seen and met a lot of disturbed girls but this..just really isn't realistic.

The whole, I stab you because I don't love you I really get, the I cut of your head because I'm kinda psycho I can also get. I found it cute how he how Makoto started out rather innocent but I already got tired, bored and annoyed with him when he started demanding touching her boobs and "practising " on another girl.

Seriously I found this a waste of my time and I've never had to drag myself through an anime so much. The only thing I really enjoyed was Makoto being killed, it served him damn right.


yeah, but in japan, no offense to any Japanese, take things a little "differently" than us people from other elasticities. and yeah makoto is a fail, i thought he was a little immature middle schooler until i found out he was in college or something. makoto wanted more, and died.

As some people stated above, I can't believe how this can be classified as realistic. It didn't drive me to reality, in the slightest. It deals with love, infidelity, jealousy, obsession, yeah, all of them are real terms, but the characters are merely transitional, they don't have a basic set of behaviour I can find understandable, they simply are there to embody this fucked up "reality" and I don't even get to know them after all.

From my point of view, School Days has elements and situations we could define as "realistic" if analyzed the parts separated from the whole, but the way they are blended together makes the show look like a collage that builds its own world and becomes a psycho oversimplified fantasy unrelated to any kind of recognizable reality.

And I don't know about other ones, but I wasn't impressed by the show either. Well, a little at the ending, but nothing my stomach couldn't bear.

This anime's flow was totally off, it started off which seemed to be a generic ecchi romance or some shit.

Then it turned darkish, but also very strange, all the initial character behaviours etc just seemed to have gone off. I heard of people changing, but this was like, watching a different anime altogether.

Then it just turned fucking crazy. Forget realistic, forget trainwreck, this was on the level of cooking a meal for yourself and your partner, sitting down, to watch an episode of Pokemon, only to see Pikachu raping Ash Ketchup, then releasing its pokemon fluids into Brock - followed by bulbasaur tentacle screwing Misty. That was the level of "fucked up", the anime was to me.

Lol at you misreading the posts, and not giving any reason for your lovely conclusions. People here are saying School Days is realistic because it has people getting obsessed in love relationships, jealousy and so many of these elements that are not that uneasy to find in the real life. In that sense, yes, School Days is realistic. Just to make a difference, before going on with the post: realistic = reminds to reality, relatable = you understand what happens (were you referring to this?). But the blend of all these situations is what turns this show into a fucked up fantasy, just because the chance for all of these things happening all of a sudden is zero or near zero (probably, if the action was set in a psychiatric centre...). And the way everything is underdeveloped (look, now I'm in love with you, I had been loving you for all my life -repeat that six or seven times for different characters around Makoto) kills any relatability of the plot (which in the end is my main issue with this anime). So here you go, I find a nice experiment on it, I enjoy it more or less for what it is, but don't sell me that as an amazing piece of realistic school life anime because it isn't, and of course I'm not going to love a story when I can't get into it.

I liked it, one of the things that was really great about it was the set up. But there was one piece, I will always for the rest of my life regret watching, was ep. 9. I mean just thinking about it makes me wanna puke and kick the hell out of something. every bad thing that happens gets traced back to one person tho. sekai, she got makoto addicted to sex, he doesn't deserve to die. that caused him to neglect kotonoha and to her losing her mind because of the fragile state she was in, she doesn't deserve to die. because of his addiction to sex he can't stay with one girl, so when sekai try's to be the one' he gets frantic and looks for a way out. sorry but this could all happen in real life (I've studied in my personal time psychology) and I plan on posting a blog about how it could be real soon so if anyone wants (is interested in) when I'm done I can PM a link to them. (i'm gonna post a link to my blog in my account perhaps)

There isn't any other sense that matters for the people posting like that. Calling it a fucked up fantasy doesn't change others' perception and appreciation of School Days' presentation. I really don't give two shits about how you want to rip into it 'cause at this point if School Days still is being so heavily talked about it did something more than xyz-bland anime that is sitting on MAL with a dead board.

Eh, I had to get used to it. I'll 1/2 agree with you because I saw this a while ago, back when the worst thing I had ever seen before it was Elfen Lied. Because this had more realistic characters and settings, it was almost a bit traumatizing. I felt a little bit sick at the end and wanted to know why I finished it.

However, if I had read it Now, then I would have disliked. It's nothing too special, and compared to other things I've seen or plan to see, it's nothing bad. The ending doesn't even creep me out any more, the sex isn't explicit, and the gore is PG, in my opinion.

But I do love it from a psychological stand-point. It was written well enough, and the ending was a little epic.

Don't worry; once you start seeing the Really graphic stuff, you'll get used to it in no time.

Not sure what kinda garbage you try to avoid but School Days isn't a generic romance anime and only have few romance anime that do something similar. Rumbling Hearts and White Album immediately comes to mind of anime that implement similar themes there might be more but that is the general idea. It is a solid middle grade anime with nothing too good, too bad, or overly exceptional about it other than the reactions it receives.

Bah, whatever, do what you want.

I have one simple rule to any harem: the male lead must be acceptable in my eyes. In this case, I couldn't accept any characters. I dropped it predicting what crap would happen and after seeing the responses of others I was right. Call me ignorant or a hater but this just wasn't my cup of tea. I've seen some game cg of it and it had NTR, one of my biggest annoyances.

Well, It was based from an Eroge Game. If you know Japanese, you should try out the game. It has like 20 different endings or something and some of them are worse (bloody and mad) than the Anime ending. Just go to youtube and you will find out but be prepare tho :).

These kind of of anime are very rare since you can only find from games in Japan. For someone to adapt this game must be very thoughtful since such strong massages are sent to the viewers. I am glad that I had seen it.
