“MAKOTO NEEDS TO DIE” Well… I think that’s a bit exagurated. I mean is cheating enough to kill someone, I don’t think so. Death shouldn’t be used as a punishment for anything. (Except for maybe some serial killers etc.) I know you people will understand this if someone you know dies an non-natural death. Makoto is just a stupid and horny teenager, weren’t we all once? I understand if you dislike him though.

Personally I like Sekai the most, for some reason I can totally understand her. Think if this situation comes on you:

You have a huge crush on a guy/girl. The target of your crush instead likes another girl and you decide to hook em up becouse you want to get closer to the guy / you have a gentle helping nature. Then you happen to become good friends with the partner of your crush. Sometime later the crush tells you that he/she likes you. You try so hard not to have sexual contact with the crush becouse you don’t want to end up hurting your friend. But I bet for most people (If you really love the person) you end up with the crush. (Human instincts)

So try to be understanding agains the characters, just think if the same situation happens to you.

The result of the conflict: Atleast one of the characters gets an broken heart. (Although I hope for and ending that is happy to everyone but after thinking it out I find that impossible :D)

never saw the game so I got no idea how it will go from here.

Finally a show which is closer to how a guy would act in real life instead of as fshoo above said ” It’s a refreshing change to see something like that when you have hordes of harem shows where the main guy just stammers around an entire season giving the male viewers vicarious blue balls of frustration.”

Katsura is too much of a retard and should be used for her body.

I was actually surprised at how much I understood just by context…

Granted there was a lot of dialouge I didn’t catch/a few things I misunderstood….especially the more light-hearted (and undoubtedly sexual) comments………

For example, I thought Katsura was afraid to go in the deep end, not that she didn’t know how to swim….and I didn’t know that Sekai’s friend was asking to be set up with Taisuke…I thought she just said “I’d like to take someone I like/love”

The only part where I was COMPLETELY lost is the conversation between Sekai and Makoto when Katsura goes for a snack (from approx. 9:33-11:50), but thats where subs can help me out when they finally arrive ;)

I’m also looking forward to knowing what Makoto’s confession says lol…..I did catch “Katsura will be fine/doesn’t have to know” and also Sekai saying “My mom will hear us downstairs”– or something to that effect– before getting it on with Makoto :)

And to answer your question, no I didn’t necessarily visit this blog to clear up the parts I didn’t get, although it helped somewhat :)…..

Personally, I don’t think thats the blogger’s job…….it’s more to stir up shit, stimulate conversation, and postulate crackpot theories :)

Setsuna ftw indeed, lolis are superior!

@ animexploit: Discussion is the main thing I look to stir up on this blog, so that’s a given =D

And yes, if there is no BAD END, School Days will have been a colossal waste of time.

@ Siva: I would love to see an anime exclusive BAD END. The only thing I’m looking for is seeing Makoto getting what he deserves, ie. death, or something just as painful as death.

@ Kaelyn: Katsura ;_; Man, did I ever bet on the wrong horse =\

@ Kanon_fan82: Sorry for making you feel excluded haha. I just wanted to try seeing how much Japanese I’ve absorbed through anime watching. And apparently it’s enough to carry me through simple harems/romance dramas.

Fansubbers indeed do have lives, I was a timer for a small group in the past, and I know how tedious it can be. Actually, a script of School Days 04 was posted on 4chan and I was timing it, but then dareka beat me to it. Bastard D=

Not that I have anything against Sekai, but for some reason my fandom went to Katsura. Maybe it’s because of how hypocritical Sekai is, her mind says one thing, but her actions say another. (p.s. it’s “banzai” =P)

As much as I could see the rape scene with Taisuke happening, I think the script writers don’t have the guts to put it in. Unless this series is airing at like…3 a.m. in Japan, lol.

Btw, did you manage to understand everything in the raw? Or did you use my summary to fill in what you didn’t understand? I’m just curious as I’m always trying to tweak the length of my summaries and what to put in/leave out.
