School Days – 10
Bye Bye.
Summary:
After being taken advantage of by Taisuke, Kotonoha walks outside to see Makoto dancing with Sekai. The next day, Makoto apologizes to Kotonoha on the train. At school, Taisuke seems to be in a really good mood. When Makoto and Sekai imply that Hikari had done something, she denies. Taisuke meets Kotonoha and promises to be good to her, and offers tickets to a xmas dinner. However, Kotonoha denies by continuing to suggest that she is Makoto’s girlfriend. Taisuke asks Makoto what his situation is with Kotonoha, but he doesn’t know what he is talking about. Elsewhere, Kotonoha is abused by her peers as usual, but she denies that she was abandoned. Setsuna meets Makoto outside, and finds that he is still involved with Kotonoha. She tries to convince him to be loyal to Sekai, when Kotonoha shows up. She tries to convince Makoto to accompany her, but Setsuna gives her reasons that Makoto cannot. Kotonoha threatens to reveal what Setsuna did to Makoto the previous night, but Setsuna kisses him again in reply. Makoto’s explanation makes Kotonoha fall to her knees, as he leaves. Sekai talks with Nanami about the party the next day, but Setsuna tells them that she cannot go. When Sekai mentions that she has not been able to find Makoto, Setsuna offers to find him for her.
Makoto has been having his way with Otome, as he explains the trouble he has been getting into. Otome expresses that she is fine with the ways things are, because she did not think Makoto would ever look at her. Outside the storage room, Setsuna realizes what has been going on. That night, Kokoro wonders what her sister is doing up so late, as Kotonoha stands at the kitchen table next to a set of knives. Setsuna decides to visit Makoto’s house to convince him again, but Makoto is only interested in having sex with her. Setsuna tells him that she will let him do anything, as long as he will be loyal to Sekai. At the party the next day, Sekai is introduced to Otome by Nanami. They look up at the movie screen to see something unexpected: videos from the hidden camera in the nurse’s office. After Nanami’s actions are shown, she breaks down into tears. Otome looks up in worry, and Sekai sees Otome’s actions with Makoto. Sekai rushes out to find Makoto, and she runs into Kotonoha on a bridge. Kotonoha believes that Makoto must be with Setsuna, as Sekai sees that she has lost her mind. Makoto tries to catch Setsuna before she leaves at the airport, but she avoids him. She remembers the time when Sekai asked to switch seats with her in class, because she was seated next to Makoto. As she sheds a tear, Setsuna bids a farewell.
Impression:
Wow. Just. Wow. My respect for this show just went up by a lot. Sorry for all the flames up until now. This situation reminds me of a certain other h-game adaption turn around towards the last few episodes (Shuffle anyone?). The climax of the show is coming, with so much betrayed trust being thrown everywhere. They were on the bridge! The bridge!!! I really loved the last train scene, with Sekai and Setsuna passing each other. The videos being shown were somewhat unexpected as well. Besides the last few scenes, the rest of the episode had me laughing all the way through as usual. I swear I have more laughs from this show than I do from my regular love comedies. There were so many ridiculous moments. I mean, come on. Has Makoto banged every chick in the show yet? Even Setsuna became a victim! Makoto, you douche bag(9)!!! I couldn’t believe that Kotonoha still believed that she was still going out with him, and all of the girls’ actions were just unreasonable. Well, it’s time for some samurai action now. Someone call Kaede.

LOL. Your impression are always funny. Look at those eyes at the pic (mental break down already?)This is getting so good. Some major events for Kotonoha:
Kotonoha got raped
Kotonoha got dumped
Kotonoha starts staring at knives – DANGER ALERT
Wow things are getting so mess up yet so exciting
Epic. All of the drama in this episode was just epic.
Although it does seem silly that Katsura just now realised that she lost Makoto, I’ve found myself very very frustrated that Makoto has insisted for half the series that he’s broken up with Katsura even though he hadn’t made any attempt whatsoever to confront her.
Since I’ve already come to terms with the fact that there’s little to no chance of every character in the show getting killed off, I’m just hoping the writers don’t make any cheap excuses to get Katsura back to normal, or do a complete Mai-hime with the ending. Just give me one satisfying murder and I’ll be content.
Shuffle! didn’t have Rin screwing every girl in his immediate vicinity and at the very least he made a choice. Makoto is just being a 2 timing(in this case 4 timing) asshole. Not that any of the girls are any less pathetic. Will someone break out the chainsaw already and redeem this show with a satisfying massacre.
Yeah Rin really isn’t close to what a douche Makoto is. Rin becomes upset and tries to appologize and realize everything that went wrong afterwards. If Makoto doesn’t get killed (riiiiight) then he’ll just sit there and go “uh…what?” and go on after all his little harem is offed. If Kotonoha kills everybody then the writers know their audience. If she doesn’t then they don’t know how to sell a anime very well.
>> Someone call Kaede
Kaede is master of the boxcutter, I believe Rena is more versed in the ways of kitchen utensils.
I thought the way that Setsuna deal with Makoto’s situation was kinda weird. I assume that this series will have 99% chance for the bad ending. Many people think that the ending is going to be the one where Kotonoha gone psycho. I hope that doesn’t happen. Otherwise, it will be too depressed for me to watch.
nee, how about Kotonoha joins hand with Sekai and butcher Makoto to death? That would also be interesting to watch ^^
Sniper > I’m just giving my real impressions of the show. No watering down here! waku waku
Mizumi > Yea, Makoto is pretty much to blame…..for everything. Everyone dies. Goodo endo!
Dave > Yea, I Shuffle still remains to be my favorite h-game adpation harem series…and I don’t have a lot of those on my list. School days doesn’t compare…for me anyways.
Fang-tan > Oh, the bad end is coming….and I’m pretty sure that’s the only reason half of us are watching this show, so wait for it!
Shirukii > Bah, Higurashi isn’t in the same genre so I wouldn’t compare them. :S Wait….maybe they can be in the same genre now…
kenshin514 > Too late. It’s already happened. Personally, I’ve been waiting for her to go psycho. It’s gonna be hot!
Milfeulle > Ooooo so it would be like…a harem ending…except for Makoto dying.
LET’S GO SAW!
The part where Setsuna says she’ll do anything if he promises to dump Otome is awesome. First off, he’s not even really going out with Otome (not even in Otome’s mind), so isn’t that almost like a loophole? Secondly, wonder what Makoto requested. Would have been hilarious if she had a limp in the airport or something.
I dunno if it actually said “dump” in the subbed version, but from my translation it was more like “stop getting involved with her”….but meh, minor difference. LOL Makoto is a pretty sick guy..maybe he has a really bad loli complex.
Newsflash:
Makoto’s latest conquest turns out to be a blowup doll and not a new foreign transfer student as originally reported. “I thought she was just quiet,” explains Makoto.
makoto should die. like faster and seriously. man *faints* love your review! =P
I now really, really hate Setsuna at this point…she’s such a bitch for kissing Makoto in front of Kotonoha.
Buuut, the part where the older kids (my heros) show everyone the video with Otome and Makoto was epic and awesome.
Kabitzin > That would totally happen.
