Story-9
The story of School Days is extremely interesting. Unlike most anime, it goes over problems that most wouldn't even dare to touch. But this is why many hate it. Unlike most harem anime, it does not focus on the happy parts of a relationship. School Days's uniqueness is what turns people away. Like most fans of this anime, I consider it a deconstruction of the harem genre.
Art-6
This is School Days's worst aspect. TNK have never been the best at animation. But, School Days didn't really need great animation. But certain scenes have a good bit of fluidity. The character designs are good, but hard to tell apart.
Sound-9
The OST is AMAZING. My 3 favorite instruments are the piano, organ, and violin. I have the OST on my computer and listen to it quite a bit. But I have to give praise to the song Kanashi No Mukou He, which is one of my favorite songs. I can't judge the voice acting, because I don't personally speak Japanese. But it sounds nice.
Character-8
Our main character Makoto is probably the most hated anime character. While I didn't love Makoto, I found him to be a good protagonist. At least he has a personality.. And he also has remorse for all his actions. Kotonoha is the highlight of this anime. I feel really bad for her, and wish she had a better life. Sekai is also really good. While not as good as Kotonoha, she's still likable. There's also Setsuna. She is great with her conflict. I can't spoil it, but its also really emotional.
The supporting cast is ok. But the characters of Taisuke, Otome, and her clique are some of my least favorite anime characters. Otome is actually my least favorite anime character.
Enjoyment-10
I really did enjoy School Days. Despite its short coming, its really good. So, my overall score is a 9/10
