I was searching for a light romantic anime series and School Days, from the title, looked to be the best suspect for it… But boy was I completely wrong!!! Two words: crazy and perverted. I thought that it would only rotate to a love triangle like the normal chick flicks that teenage girls completely love but it is far more than the regular story (no wonder some anime reviewes put horror to the genre). If you haven’t watched this yet don’t continue to read this since I can’t make a review without spilling an idea about the ending.
Anyway, the first episodes was what I expected it to be, it was the usual ‘girl1 like boy but boy like girl2, girl1 helps boy making girl2 like boy then boy1 change his mind and likes girl1 so boy cheats on girl2′ story. But what i percieved transpired fast (only 4/12 episodes i think) and the aggressiveness (of the scenes and the guy) bothered me thats when I realized that there is something more to this. The episode of the school festival was the eventual turning point from the acceptable to the super crazy storyline!!! **This I can’t spoil, it was too much to remember** It was so crazy you can’t stop from watching it up to the end. I can’t help to cover myself with a pillow screaming. It made me drive nuts that the last episode was the best way to end it (except girl2 in the boat– freak out!). Personally, this series stressed me, if the writers made this to make this anime stick on you it was very effective. I can’t say if it will have same effect with men but as a girl, i don’t like being abused so my emotional stability reached its peak. IT IS EVERY GIRL’S NIGHTMARE. Before I watched, I wanted to relax but here i am now still in a transe… I am innocent after all. I have no comment whether people should consider watching this but if you want to try then go forth and good luck! I just hope reality doesn’t go along with the story. Psychologically, i now see majority of men as low and can’t be trusted but I’m still believing that there are men that would consider loving someone more important than the you know what. That is every woman’s wish – to be cared and loved.
Other than that- drawing, sounds is ok.
This series definitely does not promote Female Domination. GRRR….
