Review of School Days

This isn't your usual love harem anime. At first it will make you smile because it's funny and sweet, but through the rest, will make you really angry, but at the same time, i think it's something people should watch, because even though it's terrible, it hits home and will remind you that love is a cruel mistress. The MC is not a specially bad guy, he's actually a more realistic character than your usual male main character. He's not honor-bound, but acts like a real person. As it happens, he's a young high schooler, even though he tries to do good, he has more spunkthan maturity.

The characters are shallow, yes, but that's because they're teenagers. Teenagers are shallow because they haven't figured out themselves out yet. The main character is a wimp, selfish, and refuses responsability,...just like many IRL teen boys.

Anyone that has been in a relationship for a long time will tell you, after a while the magic starts fading away, and you take the other for granted, as much as we'd like to pretend that doesn't happen to us, it's how we're wired. That's happens here. The MC cannot resist the temptation, as the best of us sometimes cannot, when the intense excitement of a new female love presents itself to us, which leads to dramatic consequences.

Sure you get to hate the characters, but isn't that proof of good writing? Are all villains poorly written just because they're despicable? That's what the anime producers set to do, and they accomplished that so well.

As the drama unravels itself, as everyone feeling's gets hurts, it shows that being in a relationship is not only about your selfish pleasure, but that it comes with a part of responsibility for the other's feelings.

The art and sound were okay, it was hard to tell apart characters sometimes because no one had crazy hair colors, i guess they were shooting for realism here.

The sounds the characters makes are full of emotion, and either makes you feel sorry for them, or hate them.
