School Days. The most twisted anime ever existed, the most epic ending in all anime history, and one of the few with the "OMGWTF" moments. Like, the most psychological anime with the most unexpected ending out of all the anime ever existed? Hell yeah. Even more twisted than those O Henry novels you read these days.
This was also one reason why I did not watch anymore game-based anime anymore? Always waiting there for the most creepy part to happen?
Story: Sex here sex there. After all, this story is just excellent from the start to the end. haha. First look at the protagonist, you have that normal personality of all male protagonists in anime these days. Not that this is a negative response, but the enjoyment comes when we watch this dude encounter his life of unrelationshable sex. Everything starts off very well, hooking me into watching a heck lot of episodes, which is a great plus. What do I mean by that? With the peaceful storyline in the start, we can imagine ourselves inside the atmosphere of a love triangle, something that happens today in daily basis. While we watch this triangle untangle, and actually adding more angles to the triangle, we can all enjoy this anime without hesitation. Very good thing about this storyline is that we always want to know what will happen next, meaning that if you watched this anime after it is fully released, you may imagine yourselves a bigger impact, since if I watched these episodes once every week, eventually I will know what happen.
Art: The greatest plus to this anime is the storyline and the epic ending, so the art isn't bothered too much. Of course the art is nice, but nothing too great. Other than that realistic "SPOILER ALERT" gory in the end... definitely the greatest art scene throughout the anime.
Sound: I kinda liked the sound, some so-so background music that fits the atmosphere, and of course the peaceful ending track. Feels bad when you just finished that twisted moment, almost receiving that heart attack, and finally listening to this pacifying ending song? Just feels heck creepy doesn't it?
Character: Character is described very simple, nothing too great I don't think, other than that more characters should show their character. Some characters have shown all the traits. Except for the protagonist. He is just some sex addict that looks very normal from the appearance. Good thing the other main characters have more personality traits shown, but the whole thing was pretty dull from start to end. Epic Storyline ftw.
Enjoyment: Heck. How the hell will we be enjoyed from that kind of ending? Well, thats what you think. But if you think again, this kind of shit happens in the present, something we can relate easily to. Just look at your local newspaper (unless your a hikkimori)
-Suicidal
-Murder, etc. (hell I only can name 2 for now)
After all, the ending was quite obvious, since we all know that no matter how good the author is, he cannot fit a resolution right in the last episode...so we all knew that the OMGWTF moment will happen. The enjoyment from being hooked back at episode 1 is amazing, how I just kept looking through the episodes straight till the last one.
Overall:
Damn. Definitely watch this anime, but you might suffer after reading my review since you might feel a little restrained while watching it. >.
