Why is School Days so interesting?
I keep on hearing about it here and from what I've read on it, it seems to be your typical love soap opera anime, but it has a major "twist"(read as predictable shocker used by several different things in the media that are just like it). Really, exaplin to me why this anime is so good.
I only ask because I don't want to waste my time watching it if it seriously looks as un-original as it sounds. |

I didn't think it was that interesting, but I like
Spoiler!
It just became popular because of the last episode. It surprised a lot of people who didn't know about the bad ends in the game... if you know about those endings then you should know how the anime ending is...

Re: Why is School Days so interesting?
Really? All because of that "twist" it became popular? If I wanted stuff like that I would watch something more original, like Higurashi.

Re: Why is School Days so interesting?
Funny you should mention it... I JUST finished watching it an hour ago. I thought it was the WORST p.o.s that I've seen. The main protag, Motoko, was the most hateful, despicable, back-stabbing person I've ever seen, and most of the other characters were varying shadows of the same "qualities". No conscience or redeeming values. I hated him more than any other villain, in fact. And I have a pretty high tolerance LOL
Don't waste your time with it, I would say. Despite what it says, there is no "love" story here, aside from one character, and this one ends up broken. Makoto has no heart. No soul. His reactions on hearing a girl likes him: his leering eyes go right to her boobs, his hands to her ass. That's where he's at :-( I liked the main girls a lot and hated to see what happens to them, and some minor ones as well. But the only truly loving character ends up corrupted. It seems to celebrate bleak blackness. Just awful  Comparing "harems" in extremes: On one hand, you have something classy, like True Tears. Then... you have this.

Re: Why is School Days so interesting?
Hmm, I might watch it just to see this Makoto guy. I usually love villains (I.E.: Johann(#1 Villain of all time), Gendo, Hamdo(#2 Villain of all time) ). You catch my drift. Beyond that though I think I'll just write this off and not bother with it. Thanks for the warnings/advice.

Re: Why is School Days so interesting?
I think this anime's greatness is it's originality.
Everyone seems to argue about the characters and the ending, because they expected a regular "love story" or "school life+romance" anime. Instead they got this.... It's not bad, but if You too expect something like that, don't start watching it.

Re: Why is School Days so interesting?
I guess originality can be aruged. But to me it sounds like a typical soap opera(I'm including the ending with this), and from previous comments doesn't seem like it's worth it.

Re: Why is School Days so interesting?
I truly understand why Makoto is deemed the most pathetic male protagonist...
