Review of School Days
Where to start with this aye? I'll start by saying that I wrote everything on this review apart from this paragraph a few years ago. I had a decent amount of expectation for this anime, I expected a bit more ecchi (cause I was and still am somewhat of a pervert), as I have breifly re-read what I've written, most of it was girls crotches. There was more gore then I wanted in... pretty much anything. The characters were just awful. It was like watching an episode of Maury. Brief Thoughts Worst one ever, it looks like something that came out of Maury or Jerry Springer. Inoticed that at like 5 eps in. I just briefly looked at some of the reviews and seems like everyone enjoyed it but me. I personally found it too cliché and the boy was thinking with his penis. I got that idea from thoese youtube videos. I've forgotten what they're called anyway. But my thoughts from a few eps in was"What would penis do?" and continued to watch the rest of the ep.
Deeper into the story line
It starts off as a cliché boy meets girl story. Another girl acts like a catalyst (speeds things up) and sets them up together. Boy gets aroused (and I'm not trying to be vulgar or anything, it's just how I see it) by the first girl and was going too fast. So as he goes home, boom! The catalyst kisses him near the end of the ep. Nothing goes through his head but that. And so the next day he's back with the first girl and tries to make it work, but is once again too touchy feely.
Catalyst talks to his supposed 'girlfriend' about whether his 'girlfriend' is going to go have sex with her, she says she's not sure... BOOM! Catalyst girl goes and has sex with Makoto! Catalyst girl being Sekai, and Makoto's girlfriend being Katonoha... So let's go back to the first question. What would penis do? Penis says SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX! Slowly this turns into affection, false affection on Makoto's behalf. After that things really get out of hands.
So what would penis do? Penis gets attention, and has sex with 6 girls in total, not even Katonoha his supposed 'girlfriend' who he supposedly breaks up with, without her knowing of course! So it's exactly the type of thing you'd expect off Maury.
Some people say that it's kinda more realistic about school. HELL NO! "Let's go try it out with Makoto, I wonder what it's like doing him!" FACEPALM! No one is really that stupid, not that I know of anyway. And even weirder, he lets all 3 have a go at him at the same time! Penis is happy now! 6 girls within a year, and they're still kids. I'm not sure how fast the anime goes but it only feels like 1 month or something. And one pretends to be pregnant with his baby, I wonder who? Of course I know but I'm trying not to spoil. But it's quite cliché.
Characters
Makoto - Man whore. Not much to say other than that.
Katonoha - Basically Mikuru from The Melochany of Haruhi Suzumiya. If you haven’t watched MHS, She's big breasted, kinda shy and attractive.
Sekai - Starts off on the wild side, then after a while she becomes a woman. And she's fooled by penis.
They're the real main characters in my eyes, although Katonoha is kinda ignored a few eps through. So facepalm to that.
Other stuff
I didn't pay attention to the animation or music much. As I remember the music was quite mediocre, so was the animation when I come to think of it. As I didn't pay attention to that, I did pay attention to the art. The art wasn't that good, but considering it was in 2007 when it was realised, I suppose it goes with the time. But I have seen better art. There is nice attention to the shadows, but sometimes it was just a tad overused.
Over all
Over all I find this anime to be very cliché, I have said it a few times, and it seems like a negative attitude but that's what I think. It's kinda like WELCOME TO CHEATERS'R'US -> FACPALM! I honestly just wanted to watch this because of the ecchi. There was barely any. The only thing I really enjoyed was the end. It made me laugh so much, I'm not going to say what it is cause it'll just spoil. Just take it that I sometimes have a very twisted sense of humour.
I wouldn't recommend this anime. It's a bit *cough* stupid. Barely any ecchi for ecchi viewers. Just a few girl crotches.
