School Days - 11
Kotonoha in the snow. Uguu~
Summary:
Sekai has been isolating herself from everyone in her room, ever since she confronted Makoto about Otome. In her absense, Makoto has been sleeping around with many girls, including Hikari. At school, Otome has been trying to find Makoto, but her friends won’t help her. They suggest that Otome has changed, and decide that they will not lose to the rest of the girls. They end up visiting his apartment later. During all of this, Kotonoha has been talking through her cell phone as if she has been talking to Makoto. Sekai discovers that she is going through symptoms of pregnancy, which makes her finally attend school. She tells a very hesitant Makoto to take responsibility, before having to go to the nurse’s room. Even Hikari tells him that he should take responsibility. Makoto remains frustrated at his apartment, until Otome decides to visit him. However, she only goes to state that he was much kinder when they were younger, and leaves him soon after. After being unable to contact anyone, Makoto wonders why these things are happening to him. He eventually starts thinking about Kotonoha again, and she appears in front of him in her mindless state. Makoto despairs after seeing what he has done to her, and embraces her after hearing that she loves him. After Makoto whispers something in her ear, Kotonoha’s eyes come back to life.

Ok, now that I’m done laughing my head off…there’s a lot to say about this episode. First of all, this is one of the hardest shows for me to blog. It isn’t because I don’t like the show (now anyways), and it’s certainly not because there isn’t anything to talk about. It’s because I have a really hard time constraining my thoughts in my writing while talking about the episodes. I just don’t like to put things like “ROFL” or “OMG WTF” in my actual writing (although I’ll do it in comments), but I really feel like putting up a few (like 20) “LOL”s in my School Days impressions. I actually jot down quick notes while I watch the shows I blog so that I can 1. write down a word to look up later and 2. remember something to talk about later, and I’ll just say that they don’t look the most presentable for School Days. I think you catch my drift.
Anyways, wow. I’m assuming that you read my posts regularly if you’ve gotten this far. Remember when I joked and asked if Makoto has “banged every girl in the show” yet? Well, it happened….and it made NO sense. Where did Hikari come from!? I thought she liked Taisuke! Did she give up and go for douche bag(10)? What about the other girls? The random side character girls all decided to give it up for him because they “didn’t want to lose”!! WTF! (oops it slipped.) I also love how every girl seems to be completely happy about their twisted relationships with this “great” guy, Makoto. The random ass shots returned in this episode as well, and I think I saw Hikari’s butt swinging across my monitor at least three or four times. As far as the intensity of this episode, it seems like the word going around is that they raised the rating, but it really felt like I was watching something with the plot of a cheap hentai.
Sekai’s “I’ve got a baby” plot twist was really funny. I almost wondered if all the other girls were going to go up to him and say “take responsibility!” as well, but then they explained that they all did it properly. Lame! I almost began to wonder if Makoto was suddenly making Otome his main girl too, but right after I unpaused the episode he just called someone else. Oh god, I am still laughing. That was a lot of numbers. By the way, I hope I don’t get anymore of that School Days “serious business”, because I’ve already gotten that a long time ago on a certain blog. I have yet to be able to take this anime seriously, and I don’t see how I could. It’s based off a freaking eroge and the plot is ridiculous. Don’t give me that “it’s like real life” crap, because even if this was a live action I still wouldn’t be able to take it seriously.
The last thing I need to say is….I’m PISSED about the end of this episode. I have been waiting for Kotonoha to go insane since the beginning of the series, and they totally ruined it for me. I was so happy during the episode too. I was waiting for Kotonoha to suddenly stab Makoto unexpectedly like in Sola or something…..nope, didn’t happen. They’d better make this up for me in the next episode, or I’m going back to flaming School Days. Just kidding! I wonder what Makoto whispered in Kotonoha’s ear. It was probably like “I want to sleep with you.”, so Kotonoha was like “I’m so happy!”.
Oh crap, that wasn’t the last thing. Makoto failing at life was also hilarious. Oh man, I laughed a lot when he slipped and fell. What was it that he said? “Why me?” HAHAHA. Otome visiting his house was great too. She’s just like…”nah, forget it. Bye Bye.” lol….Bye Bye!! If School Days was actually meant to be a comedy, I’d have to say that it beats out Seto no Hanayome which currently holds my place for funniest love comedies of the season. Well, this is probably the first time I’ve used all of my show notes for a School Days post, and I’m not sure if the results were positive or not (like Sekai’s pregnancy test). This ends my epic “Shirukii sempai” style School Days review, and probably the only one you’ll ever get.
PS: I’m also sorry that I used the same joke for an opener in this episode That I used as a ZnT preview last week. I’m sure only two of you probably noticed. I mean, ZnT is related anyways! Hirakawa Daisuke plays Makoto and Gulio! Call me slow, but I only noticed that today when I was watching ZnT. I almost punched Gulio in the face (through the screen).
EDIT: Holy crap! Is this what happens when class prevents me from blogging for a couple days? I’m so sorry that you actually read this….Back to studying for me!

This episode was made of so much wtf. When Hikari first appeared on the screen I thought, “Stupid Otome, sticking around with…*Hikari puts hair up* wait, WHAT!?”
The foursome that Makoto got because the girls were curious and didn’t want to “lose” made me orz so hard. Although I hated them for bullying Katsura, they had slight redemption in the fact that they hadn’t stooped to going after Makoto, so much for that.
And are my entries really that long ;_;? lol
Makoto you lucky bastard. Well this show thought me many thinks like:
Don’t cheat on your girlfriend.
Always us a condom.
and
Japan needs better sex education programs
This is show is getting more “WTF” moments every second if you what i mean. I also wonder how Sekai and Makoto will handle this baby problem. I saw it coming except for all the sub-characters getting bang at the same time. I was like WTF just happen here and why? lol
oh ya in case any of you missed it there is infact one sole clue to the ending of this show and that is in the preview for ep 12 if u are paying attention you will notice ambulance sirens in the background..now just to be sure i did some checking and sure enough this is the only ep to have that sound in there
I first thought HIkari was doing it with Taisuke lol
@Hinano - So did I!
This was really stupid. It was fun to watch and all but they did what we didn’t want them to do. Makoto pulled a Keiichi and Katsura stopped being crazy. Her craziness was giving me hope that she’d push Sekai down some stairs and she’d have a miscarriage too.
I was one of those who, initially, tried to take this show seriously. Up to episode 6, it might have had a chance. Had it stuck to the love triangle, and not taken the lurches into harem territory, it would have been a lot more dramatically believable.
But no. They just had to make it so that he slept with EVERYONE.
Please, please, please, I hope they don’t cop out on the only ending that could possibly work with this mess right now.
wow…this really was a wtf episode…well at least at the end kotonoha lost those creepy lifeless eye..that annoyed me. hopefully sekai isn’t pregnate or the baby dies…heh i am evil and yes i like kotonoha..and don’t say she crazy..cause all the girls in this anime r f*cked up.
Totali: Ha ha, you are the first person who I think that going to be pissed after watching this episode.
I have to say that was one of wtf epiosde. I can’t really predict what is going to happen in the end. The douche-bag may not except the baby and he got stabbed (hell yeah). On the other hand, the douche-bag may feel sympathized to Sekai and want her back, which makes Kotonoha gone psycho again or suicide herself. Maybe, they may end up with harem ending, who know?
I thought that’s kinda unique that the procedure take every possible ending from the game and combine into this series. If you play this game you end up with anyone even Hikari, Otome or just nail everyone. Can’t wait until next week.
Shirukii > Yea I think my reaction was pretty similar to that.
and yea…your entries are that long. This reminds me of that new Utada Hikaru song. Mada shidanai- that you write huge reviews~.
Sniper > Who said anime wasn’t educational? The name of this show is “School Days” right?
kody-san > Yea, I found that out by reading on Anime ga Arimasu. Interesting stuff. Hehe…
Hinano > LOL that somehow didn’t even cross my mind.
Fang-tan > ROFL she would be like “MAKOTO’S BABY OSHI- nooooooo”
Mike > Unfortunately, I probably stopped taking this anime seriously after the first episode. I do enjoy watching it for “other” reasons though. I’m sure the producers won’t let us down.
Orihime > woot someone else that didn’t like Kotonoha going back to “normal”! I wonder why there are so many Sekai supporters….I still think she’s pretty lame.
kenshin514 > Yea it really did seem like they were throwing in a bunch of endings at once. I’m not too surprised though…it’s all to please the fan. I heard that in the game you could bang Kotonoha’s little sister too…..ugh Makoto.
Damn it! As many people already knew that School Days didn’t air on September 18 in Japan due to real-life murder case which happen just before the final will start. They said that the ending was too violent and decided not to air.
For sure now, we can confirm that School Days will have one or multiple bad endings. I am pretty pissed. I was waiting for the whole week and they are going to extent until next week (if we lucky) or we have to wait unitl the DVD come out next year.
Nice boat!
haha i dont like Sekai but Kotonoha !
so fucked up now i too also took the anime pretty seriously up until around ep 6, where they started screwing up the entire story = (
