Story (2): The plot is very poor and from the first episode you see how bad the anime really is. The story just gets worse and worse by every episode, especially in the ending. Speaking of the ending, I want to say that it was very disappointing and weird. The story just made a huge twist of events making it even worse. It had it's funny moments, but very rarely seen. SPOILER (I just have to say it, if you don't want to get spoiled, read the next section) I just disliked how the author decided to make the protagonist have sexual relations with almost every girl seen in the anime. It was just so... NO!
Art (2): I guess the artists didn't spend much time on the art. When I began watching the series I knew what I was getting into, but I thought that the story may be bad, but the art had to be good. I began watching the first episode and I lost my hope.
Sound (4): This is the only aspect of the anime that I enjoyed. It's the only ,, Ok" thing about the Japanese cartoon. The opening and the ending just raise your moral a little bit about the episode you are about to see or just finished watching.
Character (1): I don't really want to say much about this because is the worst aspect of the anime. Just a little spoiler... The protagonist is one of the dumbest characters known to the anime history.
Enjoyment (1): I only watched this anime to see why everyone hates it, and after I finished it I felt like I had to throw up because of how bad it is.
In conclusion, I'll give it a 2/10. Please spare yourself from this nightmare and don't watch it.
Wait a minute! Some people claimed that I didn't understand the concept, or say that is anime is a masterpiece. What the-...? So because of that, here is a continued version of the ,, Story" section. Note that this will include major spoilers. If you don't want to get spoiled, just read another review. Here we go...
From the first episodes you would think that nothing can go wrong, wouldn't you? Well I'm going to get into details for episode1 and episode 12. So the episode starts with Makoto Itou just taking the train to school, like any other Japanese student, but he spot a girl reading a book. That's something new... Sorry, back to the story! So in his school, there is a popular charm among the students. The charm is that if you take a picture of the person you love and nobody finds out about it for three weeks, you will be together with him/her. Makoto decides to try it out and takes a picture of the girl, named Katsura Kotonoha. The train arrives at the destination and he goes to school. There, the protagonist thinks that the charm won't do anything, so he wanted to delete the photograph, but gets interrupted by his classmate, another girl. She finds out about what Itou did and decides to help him. She becomes friends with his crush and makes the girl that he is in love with to meet him at the train station. The male student goes there after school, but instead of finding Katsura, he finds Saionji Sekai, the girl that was helping him. She kisses Makoto and leaves by train. The two talk on the phone at night and the protagonist says the he will confess to Kotonoha the next day. And that's the first episode, kids! Fourteen lines? Well anyway. The characters will go through a love triangle, that will result in Makoto having sex with all of the girls in the show and Sekai and Kotonoha driving crazy. Sekai lies that she was pregnant, and Makoto leaves her for Kotonoha. At that point, Sekai decides to kill Makoto by stabbing him in the stomach. Kotonoha finds him dead and cuts his head off. Like any other loving and caring girlfriend. She puts the head inside a bag and meets up with Sekai on a rooftop of a building and shows her the new and improved Makoto Itou. Katsura pulls out a knife and stabs Saionji in the uterus and finds out that she had no fetus there. The ending shows us Kotonoha Katsura on a boat, in the middle of the ocean, hugging Makoto's head. What the fuck??
So let me say it again. The plot sucks, especially the ending. Why did the creators decide to make Makoto have sex with everyone, then get killed by the girl he almost made pregnant. AND in conclusion, School Days deserves a worse rating. Just don't watch it, and I hope I cleared things out with the School Days fans...
