School Days 09
August 28th, 2007 by Shirukii
An hour has passed since I finished watching this episode of School Days and despite my best efforts, I can’t think of any obscenities that properly convey how angry I am right now…I’m just going to try and make it through this post without it degrading into a vitriolic rant about how badly everyone in this series needs to die. (No promises)
Episode Rating: 9/10
After having caught Setsuna kissing Makoto, Katsura pulls her aside and demands an explanation, asking if she likes Makoto and if that was the reason she had been keeping the two apart at every chance she could get. Setsuna denies that and says her actions were all for Sekai’s sake, the kiss was just a memory she wanted to keep for herself before leaving the school, begging Katsura not to tell Sekai about the kiss. Katsura says that that has nothing to do with her and Makoto, but her lecture is cut short by Nanami, forcing Katsura to excuse herself and leave.
The next day sees the continuation of the festival. Setsuna leaves the cafe up to the rest of the class and leaves to watch a play, knowing that she’s leaving soon and all the hard work she’s done already, they let her go without a fight. The play itself was something about a sacred flower and a man who is accused of touching it, whose only defense is that he meant no harm in touching it. However, his defense is called into question with the fact that whether or not he meant harm, that the wrong has been done, witnessed or not is irrelevant. Obviously a parallel to what Setsuna’s crime mere hours ago.
As the festival continues, Makoto and Sekai (now dubbed the ‘baka-couple’) get a little flirtatious behind the scenes of the cafe, much to the envy of Taisuke. Katsura, on the other hand, isn’t having nearly as much fun, continuing to be forced to watch the sex lounge by Otome and her gang while desperately trying to reach Makoto through e-mail. Taisuke passes by only to see her sulking and takes the opportunity to ask her to dance with him at the bonfire, but this only frustrates Katsura more, asking where he got the idea that she and Makoto had broken up. Taisuke apologizes for being presumptuous and runs off with his tail between his legs.
We’re also given a little history behind the sex lounge, apparently one of the school’s greatest traditions. The way it works is that the girl will approach the guy with something in her outstretched hand, the equivalent of a confession. If the guy takes her hand he accepts the confession and the two are off to the room to celebrate…physically.
While Katsura desperately tries to get a hold of Makoto, he’s busy feeling up Sekai, who tells him to stop before someone sees them. He argues that it doesn’t matter if anyone sees them and continues to fondle her despite Sekai saying that they should concentrate on making cake for the cafe. When Makoto continues despite Sekai’s repeated warnings, she finally gets fed up and gives him a swift knee to his nether regions, sending him hopping away in pain.
Elsewhere, Otome and her gang are chatting when one of them breaks off to meet her boyfriend, causing the rest of the girls to urge Otome to do something with Makoto. She finds him sitting around idly and asks him to hang around with her for a little while, after Makoto sizes her up and determines she’s worth a ride, the two spend some time together. As their time together comes to an end, Otome tries to take the opportunity to ask him to the folkdance, but it blocked by Sekai, who drags him off and gives Otome some serious cut-eye.
Soon after, Kokoro shows up to the festival and calls Makoto over, giving her onii-chan a hug and telling him that Katsura is really looking forward to dancing with him at the bonfire. This makes Sekai uneasy and she starts to cling on to Makoto, eventually getting him to promise to dance with her, regardless of how meaningless he thinks it is.
Meanwhile, Katsura continues to get bullied by Otome’s gang, who continue to question whether Katsura and Makoto are really going out or whether she’s just delusional about the whole thing, especially since Makoto hasn’t come to see her the whole festival. Katsura stands her ground to the point of tears, firmly believing that they’re still a couple, seeing Katsura on the verge of crying, the two finally leave her alone.
After parting ways with Makoto and getting stared down by Sekai, Otome is left sighing in the courtyard, where she meets Taisuke, who is in a situation not too different from her own. The two talk for a while and Otome eventually figures out that he’s in love with Katsura but is too much of a wuss to do anything about it. She doesn’t see what’s so great about Katsura, but tells him that he won’t get anywhere with his lax attitude, that girls respond to confidence. After wishing him good luck she leaves to put her own advice to work.
When Sekai is dragged off, Makoto finally has a chance to check his cell phone and is horrified when he sees that 20 e-mails from Katsura have piled up. He rushes out of the room to go see her but is stopped in his tracks by Otome, who extends her hand with something gripped inside towards him. But apparently Makoto is clueless to the tradition, so she makes it a little more obvious by dragging him into the sex lounge and confessing to him. Makoto isn’t one to pass up the free and willing so the two have at it while poor Katsura continues to religiously e-mail Makoto. After the two are finished, Otome confirms that Makoto has already promised to go to the bonfire dance with someone else and lets him off with a simple apology.
In the end Makoto chooses to go to the dance with Sekai, leaving the onlooking Setsuna reassured that everything will be fine. Katsura, however, is not so fortunate, going to Makoto’s class only to find Taisuke there, who tells her that Makoto has chosen Sekai. In her moment of shock, he confesses to Katsura and hugs her, his aggressive behaviour probably the result of Otome’s lecture. Katsura is so shocked by Makoto’s choice that she doesn’t even respond to Taisuke, let alone fight off his advances. As the last of her naive hope fades away from her eyes and her uniform’s ribbon falls as lifelessly as her body to the ground, the episode comes to a close.
Thoughts
Makoto, you’re an ass. It’s not even a matter of whether or not you like Sekai or Katsura anymore, you clearly have no conscience when it comes to your sexual cravings, you’ll do anything with a pulse and a hole to stick it in. What happened to the signs that your interest in Katsura might have been reviving?! Not that you deserve her, but what was with the complete reversal to going back to completely ignoring her. Sure you rushed to see her when you saw those 20 e-mails, but damn if you weren’t quick to turn tail and run to Otome’s baiting. And speaking of Otome, what was up with that look when she invited you to spend time with her around the festival, you know what I’m talking about, that “I’d hit it” look and your smug smile. Fire, die, etc.
Sekai, you’re a hypocrite. You heavily flirt with Makoto at your convenience, but then get bothered when he won’t stop at your whim. You showed signs of redemption when you stormed out of Makoto’s apartment after his show of indecisiveness with Katsura, but snapped back in an instant. Also, that was some look you shot at Otome when you saw her on the verge of confessing to Makoto, doesn’t feel nice does it, when someone else tries to steal your ‘boyfriend’, what ever happened to the guilt you felt when you first started going behind Katsura’s back. You’re naive if you think Makoto will ever stay true to one girl, even after all this time with you, he still hasn’t made things clear with Katsura and won’t even look you in the eye when you called yourself his girlfriend. On a positive note, nice kick.
Otome, you need to learn your place, you’re a childhood friend and are destined by the harem gods to forever get the short end of the stick. You’re just as delusional as Katsura if you think you have a chance at wooing Makoto away from Sekai. You and your gang are the equivalent of those bullies you see on TV who cry when their actions cause their victim to kill themselves and desperately try to delude themselves into thinking that it was all for fun while deep down inside you know full well the repercussions of your actions and probably derive sick pleasure in knowing that you finally got to them. I hope you all get traumatized when poor Katsura goes insane and require psychological therapy for the rest of your miserable lives.
Taisuke, face it, she doesn’t like you, no one likes you, go kill yourself.
And finally, Katsura, as much as you have my sympathies, I can’t ignore the fact that you brought a lot of this upon yourself. You’re not Makoto’s girlfriend anymore and unless you throw your well endowed naked body at him, he never will be. Stop kidding yourself and move on before/during/after that bastard Taisuke raeps you. If you have any shred of sanity left in you, put this all behind you and move on before it’s too late. But if that breaking point has come and gone, as I suspect it has, be sure to take as many others down with you as you can :3
In terms of plot, it looks like the anime is trying to combine the three bad ends in some sort of epic bloodbath. I remember someone commenting before about how awesome it would be if Sekai stabbed Makoto then Katsura sawed her head off before jumping off the roof and killing herself, or something along those lines. While I personally think it’s not a likely conclusion, I must admit that such an ending would be legendary win.
But realistically, with Katsura being the recipient of misfortune over and over again, it’s more likely that she’ll break down and either take out Sekai or lose hope and take her own life, and my bet is on the latter.
Please note, addressing the characters in second person was a stylistic choice that I made because it’s difficult to convey the same level of hate when talking about them in the third person. I haven’t gone insane! lol
I’ve replayed this scene no less than 20 times, it pretty much sums up the collective anger of School Days viewers everywhere

>>I’ve replayed this scene no less than 20 times, it pretty much sums up the collective anger of School Days viewers everywhere
Not for the pantsu?
Aha! A correct predicament.
No matter how wrong, and painful it .
I don’t want to raise my blood pressure spazzing at all the characters, so I’ll pass this time xD
How could Taisuke violate her? This is an all-time low. But I guess nobody in this anime has enough heart to actually feel guilt.
Yay, another person to add to the slut list. Otome, you gave away your flower of a maiden, to a guy who sees talking vaginas rather then faces? Oh yeah, self-actualization accomplished!
Now, it’s pretty much set that Katsura will go insane. But she hasn’t slept with Makato yet, so I doubt she’ll go beyond the limits.
That poor soul, she needs to call the cops and get Taisuke arrested. But then she would need to go through years of anti-depressants and therapy, along with self-doubt and the constant feeling of vulnerability.
Oh wait, I forgot. This is crack anime that we’re talking about.
Katsura, the hardware store awaits!
She better not get raped. If she does that’s the end of the anime for me. I can deal with all the other shit that happens but why the hell is she the only one that’s always getting the shit end of the show. They should have something happen to Seki or Mokoto. fucken bastards.
Wow. Just wow. I can’t believe how insane this show has gotten. I really, really hope for everyone watching this show (and everyone seem to hate it) that there is a colossal bad ending. I can’t wait to read the thoughts on that kind of final episode. You know it’s bad news when everyone hates a show’s main character.
AUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
@lolikit: “Not for the pantsu?” i think u get some of his points here ^_^
“Taisuke, face it, she doesn’t like you, no one likes you, go kill yourself.” would u do that if u were in Taisuke’s place? But if it were me, i would kill Makoto first before i killed myself.
I guess i am right, In ep 8 Setsuna kiss Makoto, in ep 9 Otome has a sex with Makoto and how about in ep 10, will it be Katsura? Or am i the only one who feel that Sekai is getting rape? I doubt, will they make Katsura became insane, i am still fifty-fifty about it
@ lolikit: You make an interesting and valid point, I shall reconsider the appeal of said scene.
@ Kaelyn: But I love it when you spaz out on all the characters D=
I really can’t believe Otome did that. I figured she’d just sit back and play the neglected childhood friend role, how mistaken I was.
@ Random: From how they portrayed the ending scene, I’d say there’s a high possibility that it was raep tiem.
@ BrikHaus: I’ve hated main characters and still loved the series overall (NGE) but if School Days doesn’t have a bad end, I’m going to go back and retroactively change all the episode ratings to 0/10 and wipe the anime from my memory
@ Marmot: Uh…auuuuu~ o.O
@ Siva: Would I kill myself if I were in Taisuke’s position? No. But then again, I wouldn’t rape Katsura, I’d realize that Sekai’s friend is pining for me and go out with her.
I don’t think the possibility of Sekai getting raped is there, it never happened in the game IIRC. But Katsura going batshit psycho looks like a likely outcome now.
I’ve been leaning toward the suicide ending up until now. The events of the next episode and how Katsura reacts to it should give a good indication of which way we’re going. I don’t think they could work Sekai stabbing him with only 3 episodes to go. If they’re going with one of the game’s endings then it depends on whether Katsura becomes utterly depressed and traumatized by the coming events or if she just snaps.
Katsura-chan…
TAKE THEM ALL OUT! :D
I now for hope for the most epic bloody ending ever. :3
Anyone have a link to this episode subbed/raw?
I would like one order of car accident with a side of telephone pole.
Makoto behind the wheel, the girls in the passenger seats.
Paid.
@ Kosume: Agreed. If I had to pick one, I’d like to see Katsura lose it and take out Sekai, Rena style.
@ Kari: Join the club =D
@ Mixu: Tokyo Toshokan
@ Servbot: A car accident is far too find for these people, they tend to result in instant death, especially for the drivers. Makoto deserves much worse.
It’s a sad day for a series when the strongest, most emotionally adjusted female character turns out to be a non-loli kid named “Heart”.
Honestly, if they decide to go with either the Katsura commits suicide ending or the Katsura kills Sekai ending, they better have some sort of epilogue where we see the reactions from Otome and her friends as well as Taisuke (who hopefully will get the shit beaten out of him and then some after he more than likely brags about what he did).
If it has to be a bad ending, I’d rather see Katsura take out Taisuke, Otome’s friends, Otome (painfully and after she sees the video and hears how Otome helped Taisuke convey his true feelings) and Makoto (and nothing like that lame death he had in the game – he can’t even do that right!). I’m not really sure about Sekai since she still has time to realize that Makoto doesn’t really care about her.
In all honesty, the only girl who ‘deserves’ Makoto at this point is Otome. If the anime decides to go in a different direction maybe we can see Katsura and Sekai realizing that Makoto was screwing them both over and then get revenge on him and Otome :)
>>I’m going to go back and retroactively change all the episode ratings to 0/10
Sounds fair, but…
>>and wipe the anime from my memory
… thusly negating the point of angrily changing your ratings! Once again, Shirukii, YOUR HATRED IS WEAK.
The screenplay writers need to die too. Anybody who knows Japanese please send a letter of protest to the animation company.
I wish people would stop with all the character bashing and just enjoy the show for what it is – which is a heavy romance drama. That by itself means that the characters are going to make plenty of bad choices, but hey – that’s what makes the show interesting and so popular among the fanbase. I mean, who would want to watch another pointless harem romance/comedy with a clueless/spineless main character who can’t make up his mind for 20+ episodes and randomly chooses one girl of the lot in the end.
I don’t think the producers will have the guts to pull off a bad ending. I think they are just trying to raise the level of drama to the maximum by making the characters make stupid choices. It’s like playing the game and making Makoto make all the wrong choices and making Kotonoha really really stupid and clueless.
I don’t see why everyone wants to see blood so badly in that sort of show. Such sentiments are deeply disturbing. None of the characters has done anything to deserve death. Even if they are idiots, they are not evil and they can change. Heck, if you want to see blood so badly why don’t you watch Claymore or Higurashi. Both of them are better shows than School Days anyway IMHO.
>> … or Higurashi. Both of them are better shows than School Days anyway IMHO.
The implication being that Higurashi is a “better show than School Days” but when I look at these summaries and screencaps I fail to see the squiggly retards elbowing each other, yelling “NAN DESU TTE,” fighting over food, and generally being loud, obnoxious asses more insufferable than an Ichigo/Ganjuu pairing.
Yes, that is Higurashi in 25 words.
And yes, it fucking sucks.
So, who DOES Makato truly like?
At first, he sincerely liked Katsura.
Proof:
- tried with all effort to please her ( on dates, during visits to her house, trying to be her boyfriend)
- waited at the train station for her
- was on his toes begging for a sign of interest from her
Why did he stop liking Katsura?
- she wouldn’t let him in her skirt
- there were constant problems (and awkward moments)
- Sekai was sexually tempting him
Then, he liked Sekai.
Possible reasons why?:
- he truly liked her, romantically not just sexually.
- he wanted to have sex with her
- she was easygoing, personality-wise, and sexually.
Did he still like Katsura after sleeping with Sekai?
Yes:
- he showed sympathy for Katsura after one of the other girls blamed Katsura of stealing Taisuke from Hikari
- he was mesmerized by Katsura’s wet shirt
- he chased after Katsura against Sestuna’s commands
(which she ordered him to do for the sake of Sekai)
- unblocked Katsura on his cell after Sestuna blocked her
- he rushed to Katsura when he saw the 20 msgs she left him
No:
- he ignored Katsura for the days after he slept with Sekai
- he showed no interest nor care for her until the ”Eve of Festival” episode
- he was too busy feeling Sekai’s ass to notice that Katsura msged him
Then, he willingly slept with Otome.
Why?:
- for pure sexual pleasure
(No romantic feelings involved, because Makato ignored Otome’s request of dancing together at the bonfire.)
Does he still like Sekai?
Yes:
- he agreed to go dance with her at the bonfire
Though it is unclear for what reasons that he is still with her.
No:
- he slept with Otome behind Sekai’s back
- he was unmoved and unresponsive when Sekai stated that she liked him during the bonfire dance
In my opinion, Otome will be unimportant. She is just there to complicate things or make Katsura’s life worse.
Hikari might join the harem girl list now. After perhaps finding out that Taisuke had sex with Katsura.
Also, Taisuke will not suffer any criminal charges of ”raping Katsura” because she did not show signs of not wanting to have sex. She just went lifeless.
Makato probably doesn’t really sincerely like anyone.
He just wants to screw girls.
I was fine with the way things where going and I was expecting a bad ending like in the game, but I really did not want to hear or see her get raped. She goes through hell the whole time they should have moved the shit to someone else this episode.

Wow, looks like you really made an effort to understand the show. Did you make it past episode 1? Oh, yeah, you said it yourself: “when I look at these summaries and screencaps” – obviously more than enough information to make a conclusion about a show…NOT
Anyway, as I was saying that was just my humble opinion, so you are free to disagree, but at least come up with some valid reasons instead of sounding like an ass.

Wow, looks like you really made an effort to understand the comment. Did you make it past your loliguro porn? Oh, yeah, you said it yourself, “that was just my humble opinion” – obviously more than enough bias to make a conclusion about a troll…NOT
Anyway, as I was saying that was just the truth of Higurashi, so you are free to disagree, but at least come up with some valid reasons instead of sounding like a leftard PC Berkeleyite who’s more interested in growing pot than intelligently analyzing television animation.
@lolikit
Well, I tried to understand your comment, but it looks like you’ve just put a bunch of insults together and tried to make it sound like some smart sarcasm. I was trying to have an intelligent discussion, but apparently I’m too busy watching loliguro porn and growing pot, as you have astutely observed, so I’ll leave it at that.

Well, I tried not to troll, but it looks like you’ve just put a bunch of fail cut and tried to make it sound like smart troll-busting. I was trying to deface Shirukii’s blog, but apparently I’m too busy defacing Shirukii’s blog and flaming your loliguro porn, as you have astutely observed, so I’ll leave it at that.
By the way, Shirukii, I rewatched Sola. It’s actually kind of good when you put expectations behind you and watch it for the minute-to-minute drama of Aono going completely fucking nuts every time she sees any living thing.
Reponse to Darklord`s original comment:
One of the elements that makes a drama anime heavy and well, dramatic; is how it evokes strong emotions. Us, being human-beings, have emotions and one of those emotions is anger.
Do you honestly think we are losing sleep and hours of our lives fuming and crying over characters?
Minutes perhaps, but that is it.
The reason of us getting mad is not because we desire for the show to become another “pointless harem romance/comedy with a clueless/spineless main character“ but to express our opinions of the show.
If character bashing is how a person wants to express their thoughts, then so be it.
Kaeylin:
After exhaustive research and deliberations throughout the season, we have already decided on a single unified theory on why Makoto likes those three girls simultaneously: he’ll fuck anything with a sliced cunt. Katsura was first because of her big breasteses
lolikit:
Yep, Darklord was right. If you made it past the first episode of Higurashi, you’d be complaining about the insanely distorted faces, the hedonistic violence punctuated by insane cackling laughter, the fact that the characters will turn on each other at the drop of a hat, and the fact that the characters are resurrected Kenny-like every fourth or fifth episode. Even though those are the qualities that endeared that show to me and many others, I can’t be held responsible for your tastes.
Shirukii:
Why, oh why have you forgotten the sins of Setsuna in your otherwise cathartic litany against all the offending characters? I know if I were to write a rant, it would go something like this:
Oh yeah, Katsura, regarding the voices in your head that says “kill ‘em, KILL THEM ALL!”, I’d say it’s in your best interest to follow them.
Well well well, two laid count total, we are now one step closer to the grand slaughter house *wide evil grin*
OK………First of all:
Why wasn’t there ever a personal love-shack set up at the talent show/bake sales/assemblies/celebrations when I was in high school?????????????……..I got gyped man!!!
2nd:
Katsura’s definitely gonna crack…..that goes without saying…..as long as she takes down Makoto with her in a huge pool of blood and immense amount of pain, I shall be a happy viewer of School Days
Makoto hate has officially surpassed Aono hate from Sola :P
3rd:
Even though Makoto will never commit….I gotta say it:
BANZAI SEKAI!!!!!!!!!!! BANZAI!!!!!!!!!!! She at least got him to dance at the festival, which is the closest he’s come to admitting he has a relationship with ANY of the girls :)…………Not to mention giving him a much deserved kick to the balls……….BANZAI!!!!!!!
>>Yep, Darklord was right.

I did make it past the first episode. And there was no substance. The cackling laughter was ruined by Jason Miao and the violence was just disgusting.
Go burn in the mountains and die, why don’t you.
@ ItAintEasy:
I love the fact that you comment and make some good points….however I would humbly ask that you refrain from using the “c” word for the female anatomy…….I can handle almost any slang except for that…….it’s just……demeaning………
@ ItAintEazy: Kokoro is totally loli, what are you talking about.
And bah, I knew I missed someone. My inflated anger over the episode is gone though, so I can’t exactly add her section in. Your rant will suffice in its place, thanks.
@ Gin: I didn’t have much anger to direct at Otome until she decided to lure Makoto into bed. Before this episode she was just your typical osananajimi, doomed to forever be ignored by her childhood crush. Admittedly, I disliked her and her gang for bullying Katsura, but we’re well past that now. But I agree, she “deserves” Makoto in the sense that involving herself with Makoto is guaranteed to probably screw her life up quite nicely.
@ lolikit: My hatred will never match the likes of your own D=
@ Crystals: They’re probably inciting all this hate knowing full well what they’re doing, sending them hate mail will only inflate their egos XD
@ Darklord: As a writer, it’s pretty much my duty to exercise unheard of levels of personal bias and hyperbole. The great thing about discussing anime is the heated debates that arise from the series in question. Situations like these happen on some level all the time in real life, and no I wouldn’t go wishing death upon the involved parties. But this is anime, not reality, so it’s fun to rant on the stupidity of the characters.
@ Kaelyn: Hope you didn’t burst a blood vessel while writing that, lol. Nice summary, and the fact that Makoto is just horny has been a well known fact since early on in School Days.
Ooh, a flamewar. The only thing I have to say about Higurashi is that the first season spent too much time on the unimportant beginning and as a result screwed up the potentially good parts by rushing through them. The second season seems to be following the same pattern, but I haven’t made it past the second episode so I can’t say for sure.
@ Random: I didn’t want to see Katsura get raped either, but it looks like a key turning point which serves as the final push over the edge leading to either her suicide or revenge killing.
@ Nightingale: Haha, well isn’t someone a little sadistic.
@Shirukii- I don’t know about that. I read on Wiki about the origins of school days. Its a porn GAME?!!! First time reading about porn games, other than the playboy games we have here in the states. So the game with even more ridiculousness and offensiveness must have been popular enough to warrant a series. This does not speak well for a portion of Japanese youth.
Also thank you, your summary spares me watching which helps me still be part of the fun comment section. I think we should send a letter to the editors.
“American fans who have illegally viewed your animation by the name School Days find your animation offensive, crude and tasteless. We will not illegally download your series anymore. Please refer to the Japanese League of Female Equality’s mission statement to see why we hate this series so much. IF you still do not understand…… you are hopeless. Thank you”
@Darklord- response to your original comment. This isn’t exactly avant guard material. It is just badly written and offends people. That why there are so many comments. You want to read a good or watch drama read Lonesome Dove, Bridge to Madison County or something. I don’t know what other harem stuff are there, but this series specifically is seriously bad. The concept of harem itself I think is fundamentally antithesis to good story because at its core it is offensive to women sensibilities.
Shirukii:
All right, if you say so, then loli she is. I just feel bad thinking of her as a potential victim of Makoto, though.
Kanon_fan:
All right, fair enough. The female sex has already taken a beating in this series, so I’ll unceremoniously retire George Carlin’s word number four.
Just watch, the writers will all-of-a-sudden pull a Sunrise’s Mai-Hime ending where everybody mysteriously forgives everyone and they all have one gigantic picnic where Makoto gets to grope every girl again and again for a Harem ending. :)
This is not Sunrise.
It would be fantastic if Katsura went out, grabbed an army commando suit and a couple of AK’s and just went crazy on all of these f**kers!
Here’s hoping! ^^
some nice comments there, i just happened to come across this site…and seeing there is some good comments i’m still alittle disturbed that most of you are looking for a bad ending.
but if there was to be a bad ending i think everyone should kill Makoto.
@ ItAintEasy:
Thank ye good sir (or madam) :)
LOL I love George Carlin’s “7 words” bit!
woah alot of ppl comment to this….. i watched it late i think ill leave it… am not reading that lol….
See now I like Higurashi, more for interesting mystery story than anything. The violence is just the cherry on top. ^-^ This show is entertaining on it’s own, whether it’s the character bashings or the train-wreck madness of the situation. It all comes with the territory of watching anime.
Now I just wait for the inevitable doomage. :3 Fun fun…
Amazing :D!
I think it’s a great achievement to get everyone to hate one character so much!!! Well done. Otome is such a plank. What is she in this for? Is there a rumer that Matoko has a exceptionally large penis or something?
@ Teeif. Just not one character, but the whole series in general. The women are in the series are dumb ass too.
Makoto one word ok two= Die please!
Katsura honey for your own good kill every one and your self, if she does get raped which is totally undeserving and save the many many years of twisted emo self loathing hatred that you will deal with for the rest of your life.
One the lighter side of things this anime has done a brilliant job in creating a storyline that captivates you emotionally, and by that i mean the sheer fact they have created nothing but seething hatred for 99% of the characters.
And i really try to stray from bashing but Sekai you are what you are a future sex toy and destined scociopath
Oh dear:
Matoko you man whore!!! Ugh i dont even want to watch this anime anymore but i must! Hopefully it doesnt follow the game to much, because one of the endings is that katsura DOES get raped. And then throws herself off the balcony in front of sekai and makoto, those otome bitches can burn in hell and i hope makoto’s penis turns black and falls off ! Ugh im going to watch something happiers, fruits basket here i come!!
OMFG!!!!!! Show ▼
kay kay
Oh dear:
Matoko you man whore!!! Ugh i dont even want to watch this anime anymore but i must! Hopefully it doesnt follow the game to much, because one of the endings is that katsura DOES get raped. And then throws herself off the balcony in front of sekai and makoto, those otome bitches can burn in hell and i hope makoto’s penis turns black and falls off ! Ugh im going to watch something happiers, fruits basket here i come!!
Im just wondering if u guys can reply to this. Did Katsura ever had sex in the anime? if so wat episode? and who/where does she get raped in the game?
I thought it was someone else never mind i already know it was makoto’s friend unless its someone else..
