I give it a 10/10, its now my #1 anime.
Here's why.
So I was browsing the forums when I stumbled upon a random recommendation for another person.
I was intrigued about watching an anime with a darker MC for a change so I gave it a shot.
Like the synopsis mentions the main character Makota basically appreciates his friends help for getting him together with his dream girl Kotonoha and as a reward is willing to do anything for which Sakaji kisses him. That's episode 1 in a nut shell and it is the most misleading episode school days has to offer, if you think that this is going to be a happy anime then run.
Ironically instead of steering clear of another high-school anime it reeled me in after every episode to further see the story with the main reason being related to my "self torture" statement.
To clarify this anime caused multiple gut wrenching feelings ranging from thoughts such as
"wtf serious"
to
"Dam I can't believe I'm watching this"
Now I've seen enough sad anime's where I'd shed a tear, violent one s full of blood and gore. But nothing like this... I have not seen an anime where the selfishness of an anime character specifically attracts me into wanted to see just how far he is willing to go. How blind he really is.
With the info above in mind, it was around episode 5 to 7 where I thought that this anime will surely be goddamn worth watching to the end. Ignoring my desire to skip every gut wrenching scene and face-palm moments I treaded onward.
Hopefully you will too.
The story, art, sound is great I suppose. I don't really care or have an eye for it because the anime looked standard if not better, the art was good and the sound fit perfectly to reflect the situations.
The character's were interesting to say the least,
But what's really amazing about School Days is the pure enjoyment I received from watching it.
I didn't expect to laugh at the end of this anime, another "wtf" moment I suppose, but saying anymore would be a spoiler.
To understand the story and what's happening as well as why. Well that's easy, but to have a specific reason as to why bother continue watching this anime. It's definitely different for other people, but for me it felt like self torture, in a good way.
No, I have 0 experience in BDSM.
