Why is School Days so interesting?

[Ahasuerus]

While Makoto starts out as a typical confused, awkward student, once he gets "a taste" he makes his own decisions based purely on satisfying himself without any care about the other party. I thought it had a good start, but didn't like how the show seemed to glorify/reward him for his growing callousness, as if it's alright to be so. In that way, I'm glad that it turned out the way it did for him, but not the others, who made mistakes like a lot of us make wrt lovers. Makoto was just a dog, and became so due to his own self-centeredness :(

It really was at episode 4 that i really began to dislike matoko live everybody else, anime are supposed to do characters that seem realistic in a good way so you can relate to them and begin to like them, not the kind you just wanna punch in the face a few minutes after you met them. While im sad that Kotonoha snapped because of matoko fate, i was really happy that he got what he deserved

Really man the ending of this anime is just sick (in the most literal kind of way). If every woman that got left from a man snapped like that no one of us would be alive. I can "forgive" violence in an anime if it has a meaning being in it. But here? For a high school love affair? Thank god I just read the summary and watched the end on Youtube.

In the end Makoto died for being selfish and ignorant, which was exactly what he was from the beginning.
In any event, it's not bad enough that Makoto has been having his way with Sekai, and that Setsuna has tentatively joined in the race, and that Kotonoha has basically promised to let him do what he likes with her. No, that's not enough for our boy Makoto...

Drama... oh the drama...

So? If he was a womanizer did he deserved being stubbed multiple times to the death and then decapitated? Didn't all of the girls know that he was like that? The one helped him get his "dream" girl only to take him for herself.
Nevertheless an awful anime in my opinion

WARNING MAJOR SPOILER - ELFEN LIED
It's like in Elfen Lied Lucy/Miu simply snaps in the end slaughtering all of the main characters with the worst kind of way because let's say she saw Kohta kissing Yuka

[lazykida0]

Wait... lets refresh my memory.. Yuka was... who? Was it the cousin?
I don't remember them kissing.

This why You don't understand the reason behind their actions...

[txcforever]

No I understand the reasons she had I just don't approve (if I can use this term) them as a reason for someone to commit murder and go insane. So he was a bastard that means we chop someone's head off? They made Makoto a real S.O.B just so we won't feel that bad when she butchers him at the end of the anime? Well maybe I'm softer that I thought because I still feel a knot in my stomach after that scene.
As for the Eflen Lied example it didn't happen I just made an assumption in that universe to make my point (even though when Miu was young she kinda killed Kohta's family for basically the same reason.

But Lucy isn't 'human' in the first place. She instinctively kills humans. In Sekai's and Kotonoha's case it's more complicated. And I think their actions are fitting their current state of mind.

Interesting game. xD
