Review of School Days
(no spoil in this review, you can read it without seeing the anime) This anime propose a simple synopsis which is a guy who asks for help to be with a girl he loves. In a lot of anime (in too many anime), the main character will get some difficulties but will finish to succeed to be with her. It's simple, we all know the end since the start, we just want to see how it happens. It is often not really original, the author don't take any risk in this kind of story. In this anime, a small detail which has a huge consequence is the genderof the person whose he asks for help, it's a girl. Since the start, we don't know the end : which girl will he choose ? how ? when ? why ?
The storyboard planted, anything can happen and that's the best part of this anime : a total evolution of mood.
This anime is psychological and make you think about love and especially about feelings.
This anime is at least +12 years old, if you have less, you can't be able to understand the meaning of each action.
If you are not narrow-minded and can difference what is good and what is bad (+12 at least, it's not a joke), you'll find a true anime with several real morals perfectly illustrated.
PS: the VF is not too bad but I recommand the VOST
