Review of School Days
For me, this anime is simply the definition of guilty pleasure and I will not recommend it because objectively it is shit. This anime seemed ultra exaggerated most of the time but at the same time quite realistic in its whole toxicity festival, but in the end it turned out to be just edgy shit, for the sake of being edgy shit xD Despite everything it was quite interesting from a certain point, mainly because it was simply pleasant to be irritated by the stupidity of the characters who, as I said, are quite realistic, in the sense that it is easy to imagine that teenagers canbehave in such an irrational way, but despite everything (not even counting the finale) I couldn't take these exaggerated idiocies seriously, it's just that every character in this anime was written to be the worst or most disturbed person in the world and none of them (apart from Katsura up to a certain point) could be rooted for, was it really impossible to make one normal character who would think logically and be a counterbalance to all this irrational shit?
The funniest thing about this anime is the fact that the MC, who is just an "ordinary guy" and is distinguished only by extreme idiocy and thinking with a penis, is some kind of magnet for girls who are obsessively in love with him for no reason at all, it's so stupid and unbelievable, he doesn't even try, he doesn't manipulate or anything, he just is and all the girls fall for him and literally kill for him, which makes it all seem like some loser's fantasy, although looking at the ending, I'm not sure if anyone could fantasize about something like that.
Katsura seemed like the best character and you could even root for her, understand why she wants to be with this idiot but from a certain point she just became a typical boring yandere, did some guy piss me off? oh well, I have to see the MC xD Katsura's whole storyline was ultimately ultra shallow and forced edgy, which made it simply boring and imo it had the potential to be something better.
In general, all the female characters in this anime really only serve as MC's sex doll and they don't really exist outside of the MC so well... people who claim that the characters in this anime are somehow particularly complex (I've seen people like that) are funny xD
Besides, I find it funny that adults don't exist in this anime and such stupid things as a school festival where students have a special room to "fuck" can exist xD
Imo 4/10 because at least it stands out from all the school romances I've watched so far.
