Review of School Days

School Days: NOT a nice romantic anime about the drama of high school romance....well there is drama - ALOT OF DRAMA - but not just normal drama. Ok, so to all who HAVE NOT WATCHED this anime please note that I will go through my scoring here without spoilers, but after I will put a header under which will be (you guessed it) spoilers....so don't read past that line if you want the suspense. SCORES: Story - 7 I give it a 7 and not a 2 because, the horrific ending DID make me want to beat many of the characters to a pulp. For me, an anime isonly successful if it can make me FEEL some emotion...and boy this one did! I was so pissed! Uhhhhh! I can't even talk about it!

Art - 6
Fair, but MANY scenes look like they were done too quickly and not enough detail was put into them. Others where great, the detail in the closeups on hands was pretty impressive. Eyes were good despite being the common anime girl eye style. The lack of highlights made the later scenes even more...creepy.

Sound - 6
Eh..ok..nothing special though.

Character - 3
Characters started out with good foundation and felt emotionally present and realistic but by about the 6th episode I started to wonder if the staff had changed the characters personalities w/o changing their faces and names. All of a sudden they were all weird and so FAKE.

Enjoyment - 3
I liked it very much until, again, about the 6th or 7th episode. When Katsura started acting REALLY weird and some more secrets about Makoto came out, I was just getting annoyed. One, I wanted to sock Makoto and two I wanted to slap Katsura into sense! In the end: VERY BAD TATSE in my mouth, so to say. Really not liking the disturbing end...

By the way, why is it not labeled at pshycological or horror here? IT NEEDS TO BE!

Overall, watch of you like (semi)perfect situations that turn out wrong in EVERY POSSIBLE WAY. This ends with no innocent "school days" love!!!!

OK SPOILER TIME!

I REPEAT: SPOILERS BELOW - DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED!

I just finished the show and DAMN THAT S**T FACED B*****D MAKOTO! He was all innocent and then BAM! Sex maniac! I was like WTF?!?!?!?
And Katsua: SORE LOOSER! CLINGY B**CH! even after Makoto is DEAD! she friggin cuts off his head and rids off into the sunset hugging it! Thats SICK! @.@

Damn, all the girls were ok...and then they all turned into backstabbing whores! I am SEVERELY DISSAPOINTED in how this show ended....Im not even gonna try and watch the OVA's unless they are different. F**K! I need so SERIOUS flowers, and rainbows, and sunshine with ALOT of unicorns on top right now!
