Welcome to my journal! From now on every time I finish watching an anime that's been completed I will write a summary and a review, like the one your about to see. Remember, these are only my opinions. So don't let them influence what you watch ^_^

p.s. If you think reading is a chore, I would just press the back button ^^:

WARNING: THIS JOURNAL ENTRY IF FULL OF SPOILERS FROM THE ANIME "SCHOOL DAYS", DON'T READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED XP

If anyone has ever seen this anime you might understand what this rant is about.

It's starts out as a cute love story, but then it becomes a love triangle sort of thing. The girl who set up these two people who liked each other, Makoto(guy) & Katsura (girl) , but it turns out that she (Sekai) likes him as well. She helps him understand girls feeling more since he's having problems understanding his girlfriend. To make things worse, all three of them have lunch together.

At this point everything is going well (as well as any love triangle can get) but then Makoto is having second thoughts about his relationship with Katsura. Mainly because he's a pervert and he's not "getting any". To further help him, Sekai allows Makoto to "practice" with her. At this point it's all down hill from there.

They sleep together and at this point Makoto starts to develop feelings for Sekai. But isn't man enough to break up with Katsura. So there relationship keeps going, with Makoto constantly blowing Katsura off at every opportunity he got. Makoto is also a sex fiend, and does it at every opportunity he got with Sekai.

Then a school festival comes around, this is where it gets complicated (betcha didn't expect that). At this point Katsura is basically in stalker mode for the rest of the anime, refusing to believe that nothings going on between Makoto and Sekai (even though she already seen them kiss). There a lot of cute MakotoxSekai moments during the festival. But then another girl comes into the picture, this ones had a crush on Makoto since Junior High. She drags him into a room that was set up for students to do their thing (which I think is totally sick). Afterwards during them cleaning up all the stands and such, Makoto, along with Sekai's best friend Setsuna, run into Katsura. Setsuna then basically forces Matoko to officially break up with Katsura. Then, get this, Setsuna stole a little kiss from Makoto while he was sleeping, so she must have had a small crush on him.

Little skip forward, the festival is over Setsuna moved away, but before she did she went to Makoto and basically gave"herself" to Makoto if he just promised her didn't see the girl from junior high anymore. And after that she moved to Paris. Somewhere around this point (I can't remember atm), Makoto has slept with almost all the girls that have had any significant part in the story. Then after this it is revealed that Sekai is pregnant, by guess who. And Makoto doesn't take any responsibility. After this is found out the entire High School found, then none of the girls he was with aren't taking his calls anymore (with might have been a good thing, since he had to have had an STD at this point). Sekai is doing her best to make the relationship they have work. Makoto is wandering around and guess who he finds, Katsura. They have a relationship again. Then Sekai finds out and guess what they did in front of her. THEY MAKE OUT!!!!

After this Sekai calls Makoto to talk alone at his house. This has to be one of the most awkward scenes in an anime. Makoto's phone rings in the other room. He goes to get it. It's a text message from Sekai, it says "Sorry" and then a bunch of empty spaces, at the end it says "Goodbye". Makoto turns around and theres Sekai with a knife. I don't think I need to describe this part.

Katsura finds the body, and freaks out. Sekai gets a text message from Makoto. It says "I'll be waiting on the roof". FYI, that's where they ate lunch together. Sekai goes there. and finds a bag on a bench. The Katsura shows herself, saying "Ask Makoto what he thought about her." Sekai looks in the bag and guess who's in there. They both pull out some knives and Katsura cuts open her stomach and says "As I thought, no one's in there."

The whole thing ends with Katsura laying in a boat clutching Makoto's head saying "We're finally alone."

That's it for the summary, now for the actual review.

It's an f'ed up anime. Definitely not for kids. The animation was great though, and so was the story. I just didn't like certain characters. I'm a guy and I'm saying that Makoto got what he deserved. I consider myself somewhat a gentleman, and I despised Makoto, all he did was think with his p***s and dig himself a bigger hole. I'm a little sad since Sekai was my favorite character in the series though.

In closing the moral of the story is "don't think with your p***s".

I'd give it a 8/10, though if you like (somewhat) happy ending stop watching after episode 3.

See you all next time ^_^

p.s., sry if you find any mistake, I just rushed through it.
