Hi, my name is thomas hales and this is my review of school days.

This anime is one that deeply tuched me in ways that i had never felt before, when i started to watch it i saw people saying it had a bad ending and i was like well how could this get bad? well let me say no one ever saw that coming lol.

to start with the main character is someone we can all synthesize with he is the average man, see now what most people don't realize a man is designed to think about sex 24/7 its in our nature to reproduce and spread our seed as much as we can to make sure the human race continues, this guy knows this.

see now i dont think its the ending that scares people, its the fact that this anime is soo much in tuch with real life its scary because this sort of thing does happen and a lot.

now it starts with him falling in love, then it shows you how people can change and so can ones heart. and then it can show you the scary side to love and how love can drive you insane.

the main character makes you want to punch him in the face because he is the type of guy who sleeps with loads of girls but doesn't care about any of them. by the end of this anime you will hate him

ok time for a spoiler :)


so to finish things off i would like to say this anime is about love/romance, phycology and a big slice of life

i rate this 10/10

p.s: sorry if there's any spelling mistakes and lack of punctuation.

This isn't a sad show. It's a pathetic show. The main character is one of the most awful guys in anime, the girls aren't much better. It's like a bad talk show set in a psycho high school. The basic premise of high school romance gone wrong could have been done a whole lot better. Remember, this is based off of a porn dating sim, and a famous one that has three terrible endings. Somehow, they manage to make an ending even worse then those and even more creepy and psycho. The worst part about this is that the creepy psycho ending comes out of NOWHERE. There are no hints early on in the anime that this is going to go down the tubes.

The only good thing this show has is the music, which is passable, but it is wrong in so many ways at so many times. If the soundtrack were set to a different anime, it would actually work quite well, but as it is, it just clashes.

There is no one in this series to pull for, no one to like, and no aspect of it is done well. The animation is serviceable at best, but there are a ton of quality issues throughout the series. The character designs are ok, but that doesn't matter when they don't move well.

I wanted badly to like this series. I have never been so let down by a series. Please, spare yourself from watching it. Watch something else.

First off, Give credit where its due. Since this anime seriously changed the outlook of Anime School Romance, and you will understand when you finish watching the whole series. By the way, I will try to make this as much spoiler free as possible, to keep up the excitement of this anime in this review.

Note: This anime is not for anyone below 13 yrs old. Warning in advance!



Positive and Good stuff:

-The Characters actions drives the story, not the plot since the details of their emotions and sequence is precise and heartfelt.
-Every Character has their own unique goals and personalities with good traits with the bad that shows so much to each character.
-The ending of each episode, knows how to anticipate excitement for the next episode by stopping the story in the right moment which really matters to peak interest.
-Has a good pace in the story, judging by the 12th episode release.
-Has a great ending( my reason for great ending, because the sequence comes nowhere behind and surprises me to the extent of that I had re-watch the final episode again.
-It's music from Opening and ending along with ambiance of the background music worked great in their fields of use events. Excellent direction in music department.
-The artwork is easy to watch and looks good(according to 2007 animes).



Negative Stuff:

-The Show seems too short
-Needs more detail of sub characters, it's understood what has happened them but a bit more in-depth story would bring importance to these characters

In Conclusion: The story and character derived plot engages the audience to feel or at least show interest to each of the main characters whether it's love, sad, hate, or jealousy it's done downright perfection(not eluding its perfect)with satisfaction. This series is worth the series for DVD, since it's an anime series that shocked most of the anime community(those who have watched it, you know what I mean ).

Hello, rafael0000 here..

The first time I watched school days was way back 2007, when it was considered the most traumatic psychological anime ever made, making anime fans hate anime for a few days or week... This is a story about the love-comedy-tragedy of Itou Makoto, Sekai and Kotonoha.
From the outstanding fully animated hentai visual novel from Overflow that shocked the whole otaku-dom with it's multiple Brutal Bloody endings.

SChool Days is one rare anime that is so rare, it's golden. The only problem is that, many users say School days suck 'coz the ending is so Bad. Well here is the fact for all of them, your not mature enough if you can't dig the lesson School days have left behind. This is a Slice of life, Psychological, love drama that is directed to viewers 18+ because of it''s mature contents, it came from a hentai game after all. So let's start the review in this golden wicked anime.


Itou Makoto is the normal high school guy you can think of, but with a high amount of appeal for the opposite sex, even though he is like that, He is Immature. being contented of his one-sided feeling for the pretty heroine Kotonoha, He decided to keep quiet and keep his feeling on his own, then here comes Sekai, the (so called bitch") classroom sit mate of Makoto and have feelings for him too. Sekai is more Mature thinking than Makoto and used this opportunity to lure Makoto in the world of Sex and Lust> >_^ and last.. kotonoha, the ever innocent Kotonoha who loved Makoto so much, it made her Insane.. Wonderly Wonderful..


The story at the start is so cute so everyone who watched this the first time thought it will go smoothly and this will be another fan-service anime like to-love ru or such.. >_< but then things turned from complicated to worst... Driving every character to their point of doom, stretching the boundaries of morality because of the influence of lust and appeal. The story started to be dark and lonely, watching how Kotonoha thinks that Makoto still loves her, while knowing that Makoto already lost his love for her and starting to flirt with other girls. SO wicked! If your affected, if your annoyed, your supposed to be. and that means. THE WRITERS ARE REALLY SOME KIND OF GENIUSES.
because they can touch your hearts ^^


The music is so good, Innocent Blue is a very nostalgic OP song for an anime like this, mixed with different ending songs per episode, this is not an anime which is rushed like other animes, this are made with sweat and brains^^


animation is pretty good.. still following the animations produced by overflow, They made school day a more fully animated story ,,, There are no fight scenes in here of course.. so expecting a kick ass animation is a big No NO. But the way Sekai stabbed Makoto.. That will forever mark in our brains/.//

so I conclude my review in SChool days in here.. though this anime is short, It really is a rare anime which shows the amount of randomness and Psychologicality and anime can achieve, if you say this anime sucks, try to enter the world of LOve. If your mature enough then you may realize how great this anime is. This thing happens in real life.. Overall.. 9/10!!!

Hi, I'm Christine and this is my review of School Days.

School Days was an especially "different" anime for me. When i finished the first episode I simply thought "cute!"

*Minor Spoilers*

The concept of a guy being shy and nervous around a cute innocent girl is always very kawaii.
When Sekai offered to help him, I instantly knew she had an attraction for him.
Never would I of thought Itou's life would of changed so drastically.
Honestly, comparing how he used to be, blushing by the thought of kissing a girl and embarrassed to make a girl feel uncomfortable. And then metamorphosizing into a man who is longing for sex.
This show does have a meaningful message, beyond the sex symbols scattered throughout the series.
I'm not saying all men are like this, infact some women can be as well.
But in this case, after one girl, and realized he could have more. He was delighted, and soon just became an activity to pass by time.
It's truly sad that he was sucked into the life of being a sex addict.

Alot of people found the ending entirely grotesque. When I read that a tag for this show was horror, I didn't believe it. And honetly I was a little grossed out, and freaked out as well as most watchers.
But after giving some thought, I realized that this show not only showed how some men can be selfish sex addicts, but how insane women can be resulting from envy.

I am a girl, and I can honestly say women are crazy when it comes to a man they love, and another girl.
I can also say a man can be so absorbed with sex.

All in all, I thought it was a pretty okay anime. It's very interesting how things work out in life huh?

School Days is a anime based on the hentai game of the same name and is crazy. It's hard to guess how an anime is going to go down after the first episode since the opening is a typical opening for a harem anime based of a hentai game. The Main Character like's this girl at his school, asks his friend to help, gets girl, starts to like best friend, starts to sleep with best friend, starts to sleep with the best friends friends, and it goes on and on. But even I have to admit that this show has the BEST ENDING EVER (*evil smirk*). There are better anime out there with the same format, but at least this show only has 12 episodes and the Characters are pretty nicely animated. If anything you should check out the last episode even if you don't plan to watch the whole series.

i was really shocked when i first watched this. i definitely didn't expect it to turn out the way it did. the ending was awesome i have to say. everything was awesome. teenagers are scary. i'm sure glad i survived high school. *phew* it got me really thinking about how much teenagers suffer for love and the drastic measures they take to make sure to hold on to it when they have it no matter what. now i understand why My Chemical Romance wrote that Teenagers song.

School Days starts off as an innocent tale of love...
The protagonist [ Itou Makoto ] is typical teen who thinks about sexual inter-courses & other perverted stuff, & has a crush on a girl with over sized breasts [ Katsura Kotonoha ], his "train-mate" who just so happens to have a crush on him too. They eventually develop with the help of Sekai, Makoto's seatmate. But although she helps the "train-mates" with their relationship, she is actually hiding a secret infatuation or crush for her seatmate, who is inevitably seen by her best friend, Setsuna.
But then, the complications begin as Makoto & Sekai become closer & closer, and evidently ignores Kotonoha after their so-called "practice" which, supposedly, is to help Makoto develop his relationship with Kotonoha & take it to the next level. His feelings change & cheats on Kotonoha with Sekai, having the whole viewing audience splashing anger at him & then feeling sorry for the girls involved.
Kotonoha sees them kiss at the train station, but continues to be blinded by her love for him & acts as if she saw nothing [that's some big patience, understanding, caring & loving girl]. Setsuna helps Sekai with Makoto & blocks Kotonoha's number from his cellphone, so that he wouldn't have anymore distractions and focus on his budding romance with Sekai. But even though Sekai loves Makoto, she can't help feeling guilty for betraying her friend & tells him that he has to break up with her, but since Makoto's a perverted guy, he can't do so.
Soon after, Kotonoha & Sekai bump into each other in front of Makoto's apartment and face a heart-breaking confrontation leading to Sekai's absence from school the next day.
But, us viewers soon find out that there are more than just 2 people who like Makoto. Katou, a friend since middle school, has liked him ever since they met, but had no courage to tell him her feelings. It also seems like Setsuna has her own little feelings for him as well, having liked him since she heard his words of encouragement after being bullied because of her height at the freshman orientation.
The school fair just so happened to make things worse, as a number of events take place. Katou finally gathers up the courage to tell him how she feels & they make out in the "break room". Later, after a chaos between classes fighting to get customers, Setsuna, while getting more supplies, tells Makoto that she will be leaving Japan after the school fair ends and entrusts Sekai to him, thinking that she won't have any more worries about leaving Sekai. Setsuna wanted to hold a special memory in which she's the only one who's supposed to know & kisses him, only to have Kotonoha as a witness. The school fair ends with a dance at a bonfire for couples & promised Sekai the dance, although he also said yes to Kotonoha after he gave in to her begs & the temptations he face. Kotonoha witnesses the two dancing together at the bonfire, looking happy. Makoto thinks that ditching her would make her snap, wake up & realize that he doesn't like her anymore, but then, he was wrong.
While cleaning up the school fair, Setsuna, Makoto & Kotonoha bump into each other & Setsuna leads Kotonoha into thinking that she & Makoto are the real ones dating & kisses him, & although she is left temporarily startled, it doesn't really work in the end. Sekai finds out about Makoto's make out session with Katou later that night at a party. Katou's friends seem want to have a triple make out session with Makoto and he accepts without second thought. He also ends up sleeping with Kuroda Hikari, a friend of Sekai, though she doesn't really approve of this treatment. By then, he becomes a complete womanizer.
Sekai then shows signs of early pregnancy & tells Makoto, & ends up telling the whole class. Setsuna has already left by then, telling her about her big move via e-mail. Nobody wishes to sleep with Makoto now, & he's ended up wandering around town during the Christmas Season & sees a Kotonoha not in her usual self and he goes back to her. They go back to his house & Sekai sees and follows them to see what they were going to do. She ends up witnessing the two kissing.
The other girls linked to Makoto cut off all ties with him, Katou even told him that he changed from nice guy to womanizer, and thinks of him as a stupid guy, having got over him.
Sekai is outraged & stabs him several times in his bedroom, his last words? "Sekai....". She then goes back to her abode & starts crying, only to receive a text supposedly from Makoto, and tells her to go to the school rooftop, which was full of memories for them. She goes, I have no idea why, & sees a bag. Then Kotonoha appears behind her & starts their final confrontation, saying that she manipulated him and planned the whole thing up, in which Sekai replied to as she didn't intend for this to happen. Kotonoha tells her that Makoto is here with them, "open the bag". she then sees Makoto's head & plans to kill Kotonoha and brought the knife she used to kill Makoto, but is stopped and gets killed by Kotonoha instead, having reverted back to her soulless self, and says, "There is no baby in your stomach".
The ending seen is shown & she's on a boat, hugging Makoto's head, saying, " We can finally be alone, Makoto-kun."

I gotta say, the animation was good, typical of a good Japanese anime artist. The music was fine, I didn't really care much about that. The characters were OK, some were going with the flow, others went mad & killed each other...But....
The ending sent shivers down my spine! The whole series had me thinking about life, love, the whole relationship thing. Hmmm... I think this is inadvisable for people under 15, since it is bloody in the end. But the one thing I really don't get is...I loved the show! I was completely glued to it, well, almost completely. & though the show's genre was really confusing, - love, then slice of life, ends up as a psychological thriller - i think the show's producers & makers intended to make this show to teach youngsters about life, & love. Teaches us that we have to things more seriously, namely studies, & not our love lives. To think about things, putting second-thoughts to it, & not to go crazy over a guy, I guess. Think about it, let me know what you think of my summaryish review...
