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.
