But the point I was making was they acted just like Makato is(Early highschool, by their last years they were pros....lol). They didn't know what to do, they didn't try to make their partners happy, they just wanted to fullfill their own desires.

I find it funny that things like what makoto is doing, happens throughout most highschools and yet i'm sure there isn't alot of you who would go up to the perpetraitor and call them an ass. It's only when people decide to represent these actions on tv that people actually care, when in fact situations like school days are appearing at a regular basis throughout the world. Bow down to the power of media, that which can turn apathy into sympathy.

I've tried to pull Makoto's kind of crap in highschool before too, so I can understand where he's coming from. At that age, sex is new, and there's pressure to do it for no other reason than to have done it. But the girls in my situation were friends and didn't let me get away with it, so I ended up with nothing. This is why I can understand Makoto's actions at that age, but I'm annoyed with how much Sekai and Kotonoha are willing to let Makoto get away with... maybe it's because they aren't that close to begin with...

This show is a surprisingly insightful and cautionary look at high school romance, if you ask me - albeit a bit exaggerated. It has already gone beyond the "typical high school romance" show and set itself apart from other shows in the genre.
In my mind this show provides a perfect example of a high school romance gone wrong... as much as To Heart is an example of a high school romance done right. Let's see how how far the show degenerates; it could prove to be a tragedy of Wagnerian proportions. |

makato may be acting like what teenage boys his age would do but i generally call those types of people "scum" anyway...well as long as i myself isnt like that i guess i have no right in pokeing my nose into other people's "unprivate" lives ~~ in any case what makoto doing is wrong and shouldnt be looked at as an example on how to start your own relationship (however tempting it maye be to grap your partner's chest on the 3rd day of going out)

As for makoto, i feel we shouldn't judge his character just yet.. I'm giving him a few more eps.... From the looks of things so far he hasn't done anything too despicable, apart from being a teenager. Also from the looks of ep 4.. Spoiler for ep4:

You forget that this anime airs at like 2.30am in the morning. It's not like kids are watching it so they can get away with a lot of things I think.
The thing I'd like to know is what the Japanese censor laws are like. Like for example in the UK the present laws are anything goes after 9pm except full on detailed shots of any activity at the "business end" of things. I know in Japan they have the obvious rule about pixellating the business end of things and H-Games are not allowed to be sold for consoles. So where does School Days stand in that respect? How far will they go? Another thought is if they DO go that far would it be appropriate considering we get 13/14 year olds downloading stuff from AnimeSuki to put a warning on Schooldays to avoid any issues? -gumbaloom |

Death...let me let you in on a little secret. Alot of guys are pigs who want as many as they can. As you have seen, several have shown they have no problem with cheating.
ipernorris One of his girlfriends. He couldn't have chosen a more psychotic woman to cheat on. She is in prison for twelve more years at the moment. Last edited by TigerII; 2007-07-29 at 11:30. |
