I’m very conflicted about this. First of all, this anime (Japanese animation), like all animes I have seen, is not for children. Let me repeat that: it’s definitely not for children (or kodomo as the perverted Japanese say). It’s probably not even suitable for adults. It is one of the vilest programs to ever be broadcast anywhere at any time, so it might be dangerous just to bring attention to it.
Let me start again. The first time I wrote about anime, it was about a sick little show called Higurashi no Naku something something something. Whatever. A better name would be Higurashi no Watchi. It inspired the piece that parents everywhere have praised, Anime Encourages Murder. Due to an anime caused axe murder, an episode of the violent snuff show Higurashi no Watchi was delayed. But it was not the only murder inspiring anime that was postponed. So was the final episode of another title deceptively called “School Days.” Slice of life school drama? No. It’s a slice of flesh pervert fest topped off with buckets of blood. No joke.
Because the reaction to the original investigative report was so positive, I went undercover once again into the seamy world of illegal fansubs to learn more about this other anime. And at first I was fascinated, then disgusted and then shocked beyond belief. Finally I vomited, overwhelmed and disgusted by the craven debauchery and sheer violence. Then I prayed for guidance and cleansing of my soul. School Days is just about the sickest thing ever dreamed up. But I’m conflicted.
School Days does educate the viewer about what horrors pre-marital sex can and is likely cause, but at what price? It just might steal your soul, so I beg you not to watch it. I already did, for you, dear readers. And I’m not sure it was worth it, even for the sake of objective journalism. I may have nightmares for months. I may even need therapy for the rest of my life.
School Days starts out innocently enough. A young boy in high school finds himself attracted to a girl (Katsura) in his school. He secretly snaps a photo of the young lady with his cellphone camera because the misguided and G-dless people of Japan apparently believe that if you take a secret peepshow photo of someone and nobody discovers your crime for three weeks you can have your way with that person. Isn’t that crazy?
The young man named Makoto would probably have gone no further with his sick fantasy but for the fact that a saucy young trollop, Saionji-san (or some other silly name) who sits next to him in class notices the picture and vows to help him take advantage of the innocent young waif. A young girl vows to help deflower one of her own. Disgusting.
She gives him some advice about how to get the young lady to put out for him, but ultimately finds herself unable hold back her own young simmering lust. She wants him too. And not just to hold his hand. Pretending to be a friend helping out, she exacts her reward for helping the young man and his target get together. She plants him a kiss right on the mouth, just like those dirty French people, with loud and lascivious squishy sounds and lots of saliva. Nothing is left to the imagination.
And it goes downhill from there. Is this an innocent love triangle that leads to marriage? No. It’s a story of the tempting of a confused young man and his descent into the pits of hell. If you wish to actually watch this pornographic and sickening violent garbage without being spoiled as to the gruesome ending read no further. Not to ruin the ending for you or nothing but yeccch. It’s really bad.
*** WARNING: DISGUSTING SPOILERS FOLLOW, PARENTAL DISCRETION IS ADVISED ***
The confused and insecure young man is apparently a staple of Japanese anime these days. He’s awkward and shy around girls. So is Makoto, but as the anime progresses, we find that his harlot friend is able to turn this young man (by raping him) into a disgusting little sociopath who is only interested in sowing his seed into all of the girls in his school. And he does. And the viewer is forced to watch it all as innocent girl after innocent girl is soiled by Makoto’s perverted and unquenchable thirst for thrills. Even prayer does not make it stop. And to make matters worse, he has no feelings whatsoever for any of these girls that he uses and discards like used toilet paper. What an awful message to send to children! (NOTE: As shown below, the voyeuristic camera angles reward its jaded viewers with an endless parade of “panty shots.” These are very popular in hedonistic Japan.)
His best whore friend, well the girl who pretends to be his best friend, becomes his love buddy, pretending to help him learn more about girls and how to have sex with them herself gets all lusty about Makoto and lets herself get impregnated by him. She then ignores the fact that he’s doing all the other girls in school too. Fortunately she refuses to go to an abortuary to murder the baby growing in her womb, but that is of little solace considering the debauchery that permeates this program.
Although Sekai helps Makoto and the original object of his desire get together, she wants him for herself. Too bad for her, the object of Makoto’s desire, Katsura, turns out to be as crazy as Shrillary Clinton. She starts out all coy and shy and then, for no reason at all gets all slutty and nasty. It really is disheartening to watch.
When Makoto, disgusted by the slut his former friend turned out to be decides he prefers the girl who’s not knocked up after all, the former friend rewards this choice by stabbing him to death in graphic detail with gurgling and rolling of eyes. It’s bloodlust animated in full for the thrills of its depraved audience. A catchy tune plays in the background, assuring viewers that murder is okay, cool even. The crazy object of Makoto’s desire then discovers and collects the remains and calls out the whore to the roof of the school and very calmly hacks her to death.
In the end the original girlfriend, Katsura, then slices the whore girl, Sekai, open to find out that she was not pregnant after all and she takes Makoto’s head on a soothing boat trip where she hugs the severed head and proclaims her love for it.
How sick is that?
No lesson, no pathos, nothing but sex and violence after starting out looking like a typical school romance. It makes me ill.
Anime. It must be banned. It is sick and it is wrong.
Yuck.
Conclusion
Why am I conflicted about this cartoon? I am conflicted because at least this show demonstrates the folly of treating young ladies as sex objects before marriage. Once married, a man can treat a young woman however he likes. It is not only his right, but his obligation. School Days also shows what kind of women have sex before marriage. They’re pathological nuts, craving illicit sex and wanton violence. But I think this show objectifies the crazy and stupid young women too much and attempts to make them attractive and desirable. Although they are crazy, they are shown as objects of desire. Desire that should rightfully be confined within the holy bonds of matrimony. Any extra curricular activity should be viewed as sick and wrong.
Don’t watch this trash. And don’t let your children. It will warp their minds and turn them into hentai seeking perverts. If your local school life is anything like that depicted in School Days, the case can be made for same-sex schools, or better yet, homeschooling. But fortunately America is nowhere near as twisted as Japan. That’s a well-known fact.
Parents wishing to research this for themselves before this snuff cartoon is ultimately banned can find the series on the underground fansub site called Anime Suki. You might want to schedule a therapy session in advance.

“uses and discards like used toilet paper.”
This phrase utilizes twice in such a short time the word “use,” and by doing so the impact of the statement is lost. Instead, one feels like one is reading an unedited student’s paper from the seventh grade. One “use” would have been dandy and had exactly the effect that you desired.
You know, I seem to remember somewhere reading a story about a privileged and pretty girl who falls for and tempts a young man towards debauchery, and when she is rejected for another she beheads him and then kisses his “cold dead lips,” (Thank you Norma). I believe her name was Salome (with an accent aigu, which these bloody American keyboards do not type).

Comment by Dio Brando — April 12, 2008 @ 7:45 pm |
I see your point, Cardinal. Although the subject of the verb “uses” is “girls” and the adjective “used” modifies “toilet paper.”
I’m not really sure whether Makoto actually uses toilet paper. That is thankfully not shown in the anime. But perhaps I could have worded it better.
Thanks for your feedback.
Comment by Psycheout — April 12, 2008 @ 7:51 pm |
Dio, actually I posted another article on anime back in September 2007 which was about a hatchet murder committed by a fan of Higurashi. Several stations in Japan delayed an episode of that show as well as School Days, the subject of this post.
This is what’s known as a “follow up.” It is not the same post. I hope that clears it up for you. Thanks for reading.

Meanwhile, Oprah can describe oral sex in grand detail in the middle of the day.
Oh, let’s not forget the fact that School Days isn’t aired in the US, has a special slot time in Japan, and oh, what was that last one…mmm, you actually watch this stuff, which means you must enjoy it. If it truly disgusted you, you’d have left after the first episode or two.
Bit of a bloodlust, eh?
[Admin: You may have something there, Dio. Oprah should probably be banned. Well said. We'll see what we can do about that.]
Comment by Dio Brando — April 12, 2008 @ 8:07 pm |
I admit that School Days isn’t the greatest anime the japanese has produced but now you are just being plain racist. You are a perfect example of a racist person who stereotypes. It is true that Hentai does exist in Japan but in the US and many other developed countries, pornography is still very active. So basically, you are a sick hypocrite. Have you watched all forms of anime and explored all types of it? Basically, all you have just done is pick up two very mature/perverse anime series and bashed it to the point where you are claiming Japan is the land of the “devil.” Just because most people of the japanese culture are not the same as yours does not mean it is bad. You are the type who lives in a very small circle and anything that crosses that circle automatically becomes evil and bad. And not only do you live in your small, un-realistic and racist circle, but you also decide to use the internet and expose your horrible ideas just because you don’t like it. I agree that there are somethings that go against basic human rights but the only thing trashy and bad hear is you. Oh and did I forget to mention you are an egotistic RASIST?
P.S just before you are going to say something like: of she must be one of those “evil” otakus. I am way ahead of you, by saying that you are basically admitting that racist person who stereotypes

Also, judging an entire country’s total media output solely by its pornography is ridiculous at best. How would you feel if someone said, “All American TV should be banned because they made Skin Flick #34?”

First of all, this anime (Japanese animation), like all animes I have seen, is not for children.
You know, there are normally disclaimers as for what age the anime is appropriate, much like with normal movies. Try looking them uip, you´d find lots of anime made for kids.
It’s probably not even suitable for adults. It is one of the vilest programs to ever be broadcast anywhere at any time, so it might be dangerous just to bring attention to it.
….try getting to know Warhammer 40.000. Can´t get any more grim, dark, hellish and completely over the top than THAT.
Due to an anime caused axe murder, an episode of the violent snuff show Higurashi no Watchi was delayed. But it was not the only murder inspiring anime that was postponed. So was the final episode of another title deceptively called “School Days.” Slice of life school drama? No. It’s a slice of flesh pervert fest topped off with buckets of blood. No joke.
It´s afaik also based on a game rated M, so who wonders?
He secretly snaps a photo of the young lady with his cellphone camera because the misguided and G-dless people of Japan apparently believe that if you take a secret peepshow photo of someone and nobody discovers your crime for three weeks you can have your way with that person. Isn’t that crazy?
Source for that claim?
Alas, it´s pretty much a quite graphical tragedy from a story POV. Not the comedy or action-trope that most americans seem to like so much, but then, it wasn´t primarily produced for an US audience in the first place.
Anime. It must be banned. It is sick and it is wrong.
This one? Perhaps. But judging all anime by two examples, that´s like judging all americans by John Wayne Gacy and Benedict Arnold. Not really fair or fitting.
But fortunately America is nowhere near as twisted as Japan. That’s a well-known fact.
Twisted in other ways. That´s the only fact. At least you won´t find asomeone in Japan owning his own arsenal of firearms that´d let a police-station seem underarmed.

I love you how you tried to make yourself sound intelligent and analytic. In the end however you just made me rofl.
It’s clear you haven’t watched enough anime to be making such claims. Your inability to swallow even Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is enough to prove that. School Days is far from a good anime and to stereotype against all anime or even the Japanese culture off of one series that seemed to make you wet yourself is laughable.
Oh yes and I suggest you do a little in-depth (not really) research before making statements such as “underground fansub site called Anime Suki”. Animesuki fansubs nothing and only goes as far as to provide links to pages of fansubs groups.
“But fortunately America is nowhere near as twisted as Japan. That’s a well-known fact.”
Yes America is such a perfect place. To be living in the same country with so many arrogant, self-righteous dimwits such as yourself brings me much joy.

Ok I admit School Days was sick and disguisting…..BUT America makes much worse shows. Take for example Born. It was a sick and disturbing show which featured demons,sex,blasphemy AND more blood and gore than School Days had. I also forgot to mention that all these demons,sex,blasphemy,blood and gore was only during the first 20 min of the show. I decided to turn the DVD player off after that and throw away the disc. School Days was NEVER this bad.

The fact that your blind eyes saw it like rubbish is because of your fear to other societies. for example you mention about the cellphone picture, that SIR is a belief in japan and you are saying that is “Crazy” just because is different.

“America is nowhere near as twisted as Japan. That’s a well-known fact.”
Haha, nice one, no really!
So, you say that because this anime had some adult themes in it suddenly every anime that has existed is equally as terrible? That’s like watching Southpark and then saying every cartoon made in america is equally as profane, which is an idiotic assumption. Please think before you go on these rants.
I just watched this anime and I must say it isn’t nearly as bad as you make it sound. There is never a scene where explicit nudity is shown, which is more than I can say of most rated ‘R’ movies here in the states. In my opinion the anime taught a lesson, that is, to not be indecisive and sleep with whatever girls throw themselves at you, you just get screwed over in the end
IMO, if you don’t like it, don’t watch it. That’s what I’ve always said about the crap america puts out, it goes the same for any other country.

like cardcaptors,pokemon,hamtaro, even some that weren’t aired in america liketokyo mew mew, animal yokocho,leave it to piyoko, and a little snow fairy sugar. all great series for young children. stuff like dragonball z and the american version of naruto, hikaru no go for pre teens. there’s death note full metal alchemist the japanese version of naruto inuyasha ranma1/2 for older teens. this show called school days was obviously aimed at much older teens and adults. and sometimes (though this may be stepping it a little) it’s important to teach kids the truth in the most blatant uncensored way possible. i haven’t seen the series but it doesn’t seem as blatant as a pornography. either grow up aned get a life or move to some uncharted island with the rest of the judgmental crazy people who think somethings wrong before they even understand it!!!!!!! geez!!!!!!

you are so wrong! Not only do you insult the Japanese culture, you watch two anime shows before passing judgement. there are two different kinds of anime and manga, shojo and shonen. The one you were watching contains much more sex, blood and gore than the other. The manga and anime enjoyed by many really are pure stories. Before you decide to start a petition banning all forms of Japanese culture, try watching friendlier, more popular shows and read the stories. Try Kitchen Princess, Meru Puri, Fushigi Yugi, Ceres, Negima, and Ranma 1/2. You may find these to be much more enjoyable and suitable for teenagers.
In fact, I myself am only fourteen years old and have been so touched by these stories and others that I have aspired to learn the beautiful Japanese language and to someday move to Japan to be a teacher. Does this sound like it has been a completely inappropriate and immoral situation to you? If so, I’m afrain\d you are sadly mistaken.

You’re a pretty decent troll, you’ve fooled this many people in to thinking this is serious, after reading your nanoha review I was skeptical that this was a true blue try to hate on some anime for a bit of nudity.
Then someone sent this one to me, and that pretty much confirmed it.
I know I don’t have to mention this to you, you know it already.
School Days isn’t a Kodomo anime, it’s a Seinen which is more or less adults only, same type as Black Lagoon, Death note, and the such.
This show wasn’t ment for kids to watch, even in japan; but hell you got enough people beleiving this garbage that they think it’s real.
Good job.

I too was shocked when I watched this anime, it is very shocking. However, I find your tone sickening and your myopia abhorrent.
Like battle royale this depicts young students corrupted by circumstance to commit terrible acts. The effect is deliberately alienating and unsettling. The protagonist who your sympathies initially reside with is turned into a Dorian Grey, charming on the outside but utterly corrupt within, and the innocent school-time idyll is turned on its head.
Like battle royale, and another social satire which shocked at the time – Lord of the flies, this was never meant to keep you in your comfort zone. However, if you lack the intelligence to realize that this was intended to highlight the sinister trends of sexual manipulation and moral abandonment within modern (youth)culture, then I can only suggest you stop posting such bile, and try to find better uses for your time.
As many others have already posted here, anime as an entertainment contains both the sweetest and most wholesome images imaginable, as well as the darker elements aimed at thoughtful adults. Watch a show such as fruits basket, spirited away, or my neighbour totoro if you have not yet appreciated just how positive anime can be.

You are simply an idiot… you even lied in the story… How old are you supposed to be anyway? I can’t believe you can’t take this much… No lesson??? You idiot!! there’s a VERY valuable lesson in the whole anime… the whole thing is a giant lesson… Even if I’m wrong and there is little “lesson” involved maybe it just isn’t meant for stupid and mentally controlled by their own culture people… Still, it’s a SAD story… you see… they ruined their lives because they mede poor choices, you know what ignore that, it’s just my personal opinion of the anime which anyway you wouldn’t understand… I don’t think it ENCOURAGES people to kill actually they are practically saying DON’T DO WHAT MAKOTO DID… I hope that this comment helps you a little bit in something at least to come to a better conclusion and maybe take away the “disgusting” and “yuck” comments because it really says that you didn’t understand the anime ONE BIT.
hope this helps ^^ oh and don’t speak of the things you don’t really know about… like the Japanese people … honestly I’m more disgusted by americans than by the japanese … at least they don’t take the name of the whole continent and make it their own nationality calling all other Americans (meaning the rest of the continent) NOT-americans… oh and please ignore anything I said that you are in disagreement with me because I’m just 16 years old and I just couldn’t read this BLASPHEMY and not leave a comment…

Well man I wasn’t bothered with you bashing school days, but when you brought higurashi into the mix then I had to get involved. I will admit, higurashi is quite the bloodfest, and school days is indeed a very vulgar show, but I feel you judge things too quickly. There are such things as anime’s that aren’t disturbing, and hentai is not my thing so I’m not really against you on that, but just because of that is it right to call Japanese society messed up? I do believe America can be seen as a seriously MESSED up place, not only with all these sexual elements on tv and in our homes, but I trust you have heard of two girls one cup? How bout two girls one finger? Or this new one on the scene two guys one horse? I love myself enough not to watch these, but I view the people in those videos as inhuman with the things they do, and it seems to me things like that are all over the Internet, so please don’t judge other cultures too quickly otherwise people will view you as a hypocrite, racist, etc. I hope this has been “informative” in a way and I hope you respect my opinion. But if you insult higurashi again… You die lol, but really, don’t trash anime, because there’s a lot of people ready to oppose you. Thank you.

Oh seesh, big lol at the conclusion.
Seriously, it’s an Anime ffs. And most of the Anime titles were never meant for the younger audience. I’m pretty sure you’re aware of that.
And what a softy are you?
Yes, well I was kinda shocked by the ending (not to mention i watched the whole series in a 1 day’s time, which gave a rather bigger impact than if I’d watch just 1-2 eps per day). But all I ended up with was a slight 2-day long depression (which I usually get after seeing a rather freaky/weird/sad ending).
When you’re watching an Anime, you should realize that:
a) it’s an Anime for god’s sake!
b) Japs are known for letting their imagination go wild, due to which Anime stands out from all of the casual cartoons.
c) …well ok, Anime isn’t even a cartoon. It’s an animated novel/game adaptation ok?
d) considering the 3 facts above, you should be prepared to suffer mental traumas whenever the scenario goes from bad to worse.
And about the sexual part… nowadays, I doubt there’s an Anime which doesn’t have suggestive themes.
The only problem here is you and the rest of those softies out there who get mental traumas and nightmares from watching something that’s … animated?
If you don’t like it, then DON’T watch it!
And if you get offended and mentally traumatized so easily, you should see a psychiatrist, aether than write screwed up blog entries like this one.
My own conclusion would be:
1. It’s a rather nice Anime I guess, yet ofcourse it’s in no way suitable for the younger audience
2. Regarding the ending, something rather unexpected, but the guy should have seen that coming. Tells alot us, guys, of possible circumstances for treating the female population only as objects of sexual interest
3. The world should get rid of fked up individuals like you
kthxbai, wish ya more nightmares

I haven’t laughed like this for ages. Your anime articles are pure comedy gold. Impressive how you fooled so many people into believing you’re serious. That’s the Art of Trolling. I bow down to you, good sir.

I came upon this article/blog/troll while researching School Days in the effort to see if I could take all that happens and while I was on on sight I was soon redirected to this through link and thought I’d take a peek. At first I was agreeing with you but your comments became more and more ridiculous. I may not want to watch this anime but that does not mean that I will walk away thinking all anime is evil, now that’s just naive. Anime is not a genre, after all, it is like television in the United States meaning that it is very broad. Directed for different age groups and different genders and not everyone in Japan watches anime and not everyone is as black and white as you, yourself, portrayed them. Also I am not a fan of hentai nor shonens (more so that I am faint at heart) so adding to that I watch shojo anime like Sailor Moon, Powerpuff Girls Z, Baby and Me, Fruits Basket, and many other ones that are not even close to School Days. Yet you watch two seinens and figure that all of Japan is nuts of it, well you’re wrong and also in this article you show just how racist and sexist you really are. Women are not objects not are we evil and I do not think french kissing or having sex before marriage makes any one as sinful as you think. I know that it goes against religion to do so but doesn’t religion also say that we should forgive one another? Everyone has different tastes you know that doesn’t make anyone evil. They are different compared to Americans so what? What does that matter? And personally people like you are what make America such a hard place to live in. You with your closed-minded and “I’m the only one right” sort of attitude. I hope you didn’t think people are actually goining to hail you because they are not. All I know is you wrote something that everyone cannot believe and is all laughing at. Lastly were those pitures of the anime meant to disgust your readers?

Ahahaha!
The funny thing is, you’re not even a good troll. The fact that I was chuckling throughout the entire thing was proof of how BAD a troll you are.
By all means, I’ll be waiting to read any more reviews you write.

This is the worst anime i’ve ever seen. As you say it has nothing but sex and violence… However, not all anime are like this!! There are many animes which are really gud… And there is no point in calling Japan a twisted country. This has nothing to do with the country…
