Despite the fact that the series had the horniest and craziest teenagers in a non-mature and non-harem type animated series I kinda lost interest after 10 episodes or so. For reason I felt like 'been ther done that' kinda thing.
Anyway, these teenagers are almost as crazy as the characters in Romeo and Juliet (not the anime but the original since I haven't seen the animation yet). I mean in Romeo and Juliet just take the two main characters for example. Two heirs in families that are in a blood feud with one another meet. Within less than a week they decide throw everything on the line, get married, go do it, and end up committing suicides. Forget tragedy. Those two kids were NUTS.

School days non-mature? The series takes the subject rather seriously. Whether there is going to be a message at the end of the show or not is debatable, but the show is definitely among the more serious (and screwed up) takes on a high school romance.
Spoiler for off-topic for Romeo and Juliet:

Well, yeah, it's matter of definition/context. The show is "rated M for Mature" due to the content, even if the characters in the show really need to just grow up. Could you say it's a "mature" look at very immature people? For some reason, I'm almost reminded of the North American entertainment industry...

i officially signed up even though i know about animesuki forums for awhile to post at this anime topic. i mirror alot of maritime's opinions and after hours of reading this topic and see various comments you can greatly see the a sharp contrast of the way of thinking of people by age group. most of the adults heres see various shades of grey while most teenages still see black and white. this anime and i watched up to 10 is one of the few almost real ones out there i cant completely blame makoto since when your around his age hormone levels are at their extreme and like a drug you go for who gives it to you. and there are stupid naive girls that are willing to give it to you with or without knowledge of your relationship and if reality dictates this anime from what i see so far it always end bad. looking at the timeline of the anime a school year is not really a long time to get away with what makoto has gone away with. and aslong as there are girls willing to give makoto what he wants he will never learn how to treat a woman right.

By the way I do not see any similarity between School Days and Romeo and Juliet...... Those two don't even come under the same boat.. Quote:
What i also find is that people tend to lay all he blame on Makoto, whereas like you said, there are girls Naive enough to give what he wants, offcourse i don't agree with you calling them stupid as they are also experimenting with relationships...... The fact being should you people choose to blame people then don't just focus all your blame on one person where most can clearly see that the blame is evenly distributed between both Makoto and the girls... Most people who just go "omg Makoto sucks" are either biased in their opinion ("Kotonah and Sekai are hot so obviously it's not their fault......") or simply don't understand enough about adolescent life to come to a logical conclusion

Since the anime is sorta close to ending, I have the feeling it might get licensed. If it does, I want ADV or FUNimation (mostly FUNimation) to license it. This would probably be a good cast for the three main characters (NOT a real cast list!).

Pardon for straying from the debate, but it's concerning that "Nice Boat" video. The scenery looks so much like the ferry tour I took down the River Rhine in Germany some years ago. Any German friends here to confirm that it's the Rhine with all the castles?

Interesting, I haven't been to the Rhine in more than a decade. Considering I'm a handful of km away from it....
Now, I do have a question people. I've read around that the [last] episode, ep 12, was postponed because of incident I don't want to talk about, but my question is, is it worth going through the final eps only to realize it may be a seriously long time till I can get my hands on ep 12? As I've told Deathkillz, the net connection I'm using at this hotel has ports blocked beyond all recognition, and getting files is a pain in the groin....er, buttocks, rear, whatever (hail port 80, the only port a hotel just can't block. Now I need ddl links >_>) Because I'm just really thinking I'll save my brain of eps 08-11 and just rewatch this mass amount of game video rips I have lying around Ok, to make my question easier, I appreciate it if anyone can tell me if my favorite girl, Hikari, get's some screen time in any of eps 08-11, because I pretty much watch School Days just for her (Ok I'm a crazy serious fan, and I love Hikari. So....bite me er I mean call me Lolitron. Wait, that didn't sound right ) |

Ok, after hearing that crazy story about that 16 year old girl hacking her father today, I finally decided to sit down and watch this show. I have to admit I'm enjoying it. If I wasn't I would have turned off the computer after later episodes and said **** it. GAWD DAMN!! This is the type of show that causes characters to want to slit their wrists and commit suicide. If I could live in that world I would go 'Tonya Harding' on everyone's ass for being so damn BAKA!! Especially, Makoto. I can see why I've been hearing so many people talk about how much they hate him. He can't even fricking think for himself. But like I said I'm not blaming just him I'm blaming everyone involved in this damn supposed love triangle. You got 'Makoto' who can't just think for himself. And 'Katsura' is no better. I can understand her position, but do they both need a "middle-man" (Sekai)? Then you got everyone else in the business from constant rumors going around and it just get's worse and worse and worse. ARRRGH!! All this guilt going on and no one speaking up. And you don't want to let go in fear of losing someone. It's the type of stuff that sends people over the edge and going freaking crazy. And they don't have to watch a show like this to get ideas for action in real life. Because this s*** does happen. Forgive me but I get worked up when I see this type of crap. I felt this way about 'Rumbling Hearts' (which was another show I did like). I can't stand seeing a guy just walking around like "DUH, I can't figure out which girl I like. I just let everyday figure it out for me." Speak up dammit!!! And I hate that "I'm the best friend that will hook them up only to fall in love later." GAWD, I've seen this crap. Ok, let me stop now because I'm going crazy now.
Carry on. I've only watched up to ep. 7. I managed to overload myself doing all 7 in one sitting. In my world, if a show is good I can keep going until I get tired. So now I'm waiting for the last 5 so I can fly through the roof. Or maybe slit my wrist with a butter knife while throwing myself out the window. I'll be leaving my prized collection of anime DVDs, VHS tapes, anime artbooks, anime soundtracks, game soundtracks, games, game consoles, 2 cats and family behind... but I must dislodge my AC first before I can complete such a feat. Oh and I'll leave a letter saying I did this because I watched 'School Days' but don't blame the show, I did it because I'm a sick woman.
