Review of School Days
I'll keep this review as short as possible. The opening of this anime and name of anime makes you think that it will be about 2 girls and 1 guy in a regular love triangle playing around and messing around. Well I was Wrong by a lot. This anime is all about the Psychological factor and how one should make adequate and proper decisions. Moral of the story Do Not cheat on someone and leave relationships alone until one has the maturity to be in one. Story: For the most part it was decent. It's the regular love triangle at first, but then knowing the mainguy he's a clueless, perverted guy who knows nothing of relationships. Throughout the story I strongly dislike him for various reasons: Clueless, dense, sex-addict, and irresponsible. The other 2 main girls are just innocent girls who just want a guy who can treat them well, care for them, and respect them. I see no such thing in the story but it does send a powerful message.
Art: Not going much into detail here. The art was good and I really liked the character Art since it was not overused like other animes.
Sound: During those dramatic scenes the background music was very well done. It creates the foreshadowing of events to come and also makes the moment more intense. I suppose the background music during those climatic events make up for the decent story.
Character: The main guy Makoto is a sex-addict, he can't control his urges, and I honestly hate him for what he did to Kotonaha and Sekai. Like I said above he's irresponsible, selfish, clueless, and does not care for another persons feelings. I really liked Sekai because she was mentally strong, responsible, and very passionate about her feelings. I can't blame her for what she did towards the end, but she should have just talked it out with Kotonaha earlier when she started to have feelings for Makoto. Kotonaha I honestly feel sorry for her. Psychologically speaking she was never the same afterwards and I doubt she will ever recover. It's those type of moments where the person says: "If I can't have him/her the no one else can".
Enjoyment: I did not enjoy seeing girls getting treated bad or toyed with. They have feelings and they should be respected and cared for. The guy has urges to have his pleasure time, a simple slap in the face, knee kick, or No should be suffice. The are times when a girl just wants to be comprehended and not used as a sex object because to me I saw this a lot with girls. I felt like being in there and protecting those two, but the main protagonist is just a douchebag. He got what he deserved and paid a heavy price.
Overall: Moral of the story: DON'T Cheat on girls and have the courage to talk things out when the relationship is not working out. Sure the girl will be hurt because of the breakup, but a girl hates being cheated on. Girls prefer honesty over cheating and that is a strong moral I have. I'm an honest person and I can relate to Kotonaha and Sekai.
