‘Sup, /c/?
I just recently finished watching School Days. If anyone here is yet to watch it, I highly, highly suggest you watch it ASAP. It seemed like anything but in the first one of two episodes, but School Days ended up being one of the darkest, most realistic and thought-provoking animes I’ve ever seen, with deep emotional vibes and several severe brick-shitting moments. The ending was one of the best I’ve ever seen. And how many animes can you actually say had a good ending?
Seriously, if you haven’t, check this one out. This anime was noteworthy for reasons other than just the Nice Boat incident.

That being said, I’d like to take the counter-intuitive route and suggest we focus on the positive and cute aspects of School Days, one character in particular.
I can’t be the only one who found Setsuna’s appearance absolutely adorable. Her short frame combined with her short and dark hair that contrasted with her red ribbon just really ended up working well visually. If it weren’t for the fact that she’s a total zombie personality and expressivity-wise, she would have been just irresistible.

I propose a Setsuna thread.
But, if you have none, than any School Days-related /c/ material is fine.
Let the good times roll, /c/.

I'm sorry...School Days? Realistic?

If it were realistic at all, Setsuna would have seen a fucking shrink or something instead of going completely apeshit. Of course, there is no such thing as shrinks in drama...

Because people in the real world always realize they have problems, right?
That's why things like school shootings, suicides, self-mutilation and the like don't happen in the real world, right- oh, shit...

Those are the exact reasons why I stopped watching. Pretentious as fuck.

Realistic? I'm sorry but no. Thought-provoking? Well maybe if you mean developing an overwhelming loathing of virtually every dumbass character in the show. The ending was the only good part of the entire series simply because everything finally ended.

As for Setsuna, she was cute until she revealed she was on the Makoto fagwagon and became just another mindless slut like the rest of them.

But anyways, here's some Setsuna to make this post relevant.

>>509910
No, it was unrealistic because Makoto was blatantly cheating on like 3 girls at the same time, and yet they, among another half a dozen girls, were still trying to flock to his cock. It was ridiculous. There are a ton of other reasons as well, but hey, if you want to think it was some epic telling of modern high-school society, by all means.

It's really interesting you say Evangelion, because the EoE movie is the only other Anime (if not, Movie, or even series), that provokes such a set of emotions.

School Days is a dark ending, it's certainly not a happy ending, or even "trade-off between good and bad" ending, instead it's a big slap in the face, making you realise that the good guys do NOT always win.

Obviously, everyone knows that is true, but the fact such emotions, down to disbelief and small shock are riddled from it, it... just seems like we aren't tuned in and rally ready to accept/handle it.

I can't find the right words, whatever, but I'm glad *I* can get that reality smack, rather then constantly sailing in life day after day, only to hit a giant fucking Ice Berg with no smaller Bergs along the way to keep me alert.

Storyline wise, it was a joke, but the fact the wacky storyline and the dark acts the characters performed at the end COULD happen (I mean, the reason why Nice Boat came about?), it provided real Emotional Responses for the veiwer, from quite possibly real 'evil' Actions.

What the fuck, School Days sycked big time
The ending was happy cause that fucker Makoto died

>If it weren’t for the fact that she’s a total zombie personality and expressivity-wise

wait, isn't that what makes her so irresistible?

>she was on the Makoto fagwagon

this was the very moment the show turned from good to shit

And by realistic I think the OP means as in emotionally realistic, as well as situationally. I don't think Makoto is exactly so bad. =/Just lucky, and stupid. He did clean up, and he did deserve that death though. But so did that damn hoe who killed him. <_<'

School Days is realistic in that the male-lead is a callous, dishonest man-whore willing to break any moral code of conduct in order to get what he wants. Which is usually pussy.
School Days is realistic in that the females are ready and willing to be used once somebody like Makoto comes along, i.e. they’re sluts that almost beg to be taken advantage of, yet act surprised when their own behavior backfires on them.
School Days is realistic in that the characters involved treat each other like objects. They betray, lie to and undermine each other in order to achieve their goals, or just for the Hell of it. The feelings, reputations, love and self-respect of the people around you are all change in your pocket, each with an assigned monetary value, that can be bartered at their expense to get something you want, be it a cheap laugh, pussy, self-gratification, or a number of other things.
School Days is realistic in that it’s the perfect portrayal of how the true and utter darkness of a human soul can be abundantly clear in people as young as high schoolers. In fact, School Days paints a more realistic portrait of a high school than any other anime I’ve ever seen, in that it’s a bunch of jealous, corrupt, cock/pussy-hungry borderline sadists who see no reason to do what’s right, and see NO reason to not take whatever actions are necessary to get what they want.
School Days is a perfect representation of the microcosm of a public high school, the characters in which are the perfect portrait of the human soul.

How is this unrealistic? I see this shit all the time.
Put it on a pedestal, and girls will want to fuck it. Stupid women tollerate cheating on the part of people like Makoto because they are so desperate for his cock they're willing to put up with anything in order to get it.
Besides, the act of cheating wasn't as much an earth-shattering offense to the girls when Makoto did it to them because for the most part when they first fucked him they were helping him cheat on another girl. Can't be AS mad at someone for a crime when you actually once helped them perpotrait it before.

Morons. Just because it has death and "dark" themes doesn't make it deep. There are tons of anime and manga with that theme, and most of them are poorly done. Japs seem to automatically think anything becomes deep if it has tragedy in it.
School Days is nothing but pretentious crap, with exaggerated reactions and badly written characters. This doubles up when you consider they try to focus only on the negative, and rarely on the positive.
If you think it's deep, that only means you're shallow.

Allright, smartass, if School Days was so pretentious then why don't you give me an example of an anime that WASN'T pretentious. I think you're going on the fact that you expected School Day's failure as an anime from the start, and when it was finally over you assumed there was no way it could have achieved its goal, thusly concluding that it didn't achieve its goal and only flailing strived for it. i.e., it fails for you no matter what it does.

School Days was an honest and ardent anime when it came to its final result, and proved it had the balls to go in a direction that most animes don't unless for the sake of cheap shock-value or exploitation.
There are tons of things, not just anime, that are "dark" and completely fail to be deep, or even be commendable for anything else. It's called angst and melodrama. School Days, however, pulled it off in ways you rarely if ever seen done in anime, and it paid off.

This thread is a prime example of why threads should contain nothing more than "(X character) is /c/, let's post more of her!".
