| I’m just genuinely confused. Even after 16 years later, I still see this anime being brought up on Twitter and getting over 10k likes. I personally found the anime pretty mediocre (and ofc the odd ending too) but I’m still on the edge on why people are still talking about it, because I personally have no clue myself, the anime itself isn’t anything special But maybe I’m wrong, why are people still having discussions about School Days? |
Nina supporter for life💕 |
| it's a fucking masterpiece..... the defination of if end is well then all is well.... i will protect it till the day I die 🌝🗿 |
| It gave us Nice Boat. It’s the least we could do. |
   Did you hear me? I said I'm gonna do my best!! ☆ |
| It has become a timeless animeme for some reason. And meme popularity is difficult to reason about. |
 |
| It’s some sort of meme in the Japanese anime community. It’s actually way more famous and talked about there than in overseas |
 |
| The series has an incredible amount of controversial scenes and has a very dark storyline, for which the series has become very well known. If you ask someone what the most fucked up anime they have seen was, School days will be the first choice for many. I just think that when the name School days comes up somewhere and you find out what the story is about it gets you a little bit interested and you start watching it. |
| People can't stand another kind of ending aside form the guy gets X girl at the end, it is basically just a meme at this point, specially the "nice boat". You actually made me remember I have planned to rewatch this series. |
| As same reason while Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gracy or Adolf Hitler is still recognizable on present society. (same goes for Elfen Lied too) |
 |
| Yeah, obviously the giant tonal shift, but because it's such a wild end it makes you wanna learn more about school days. Like come on, just a quick little Google search, how bad can it be? And then I find the school days family lineage chart and it's one of the most fucked up things I have ever seen. Like that shit count as horror, and it will destroy your brain just like some lovecraftian shit will fry your brain after looking at it. It still pops up into my brain randomly, it just won't leave This shit is like The Ring movie so here you, have fun  |
| because for many this a nostalgic title and the ending is just iconic in the medium atp |
| The end of the show has been famous (infamous, probably) among anime fans since it aired. it also was extremely bold with it's storyline. most anime don't cross the boundary into sex, but it did, albeit implied. which makes it stand out like crazy against all the other slop in romance genre that released in that era of anime (thinking about that familiar art style). that's my general take. School days is not a good show. But the insane things the characters do makes it so interesting lmao |
 |
| I'm not exactly sure myself but i guess people heard about how the series ends and how Makoto is as a protagonist is what's getting newer fans into it. For something with a rather infamous reputation as "School Days", it's wild that it still shows up in certain conversations to this day. |
 |
| Say what you will about the quality of School Days. It doesn't change that it's undeniably one of the most memorable endings in anime. I look at it similar to Elfen Lied. They're not good shows, but they sure do stick with you. I watched both back in 2007 and can still vividly picture them in my head to this day. |

Soolpp said: StarryyChai said: T it also was extremely bold with it's storyline. most anime don't cross the boundary into sex, but it did, That simply tells us you haven't watched many mature/seinen anime. And the VN that the anime is pornographic, it is also fully animated, so it's natural the anime has sex scenes. Fun fact, the manag adaptation has a dfferent ending than the anime. Typical high school romances don't cross this line... The show paints itself as one of these shows but then crosses that line. I'm not sure why I keep getting people on MAL forums saying things like "seems like you have lack of experience" etc. no, I don't watch mature/hentai anime. I'm sorry if that is a problem for you. This isn't meant to be aggressive either. I'm just genuinely saying. That doesn't mean my opinion is invalid. |

| If you want, play the "visual novels". They are fully animated interactive anime with uncensored sex scenes. The anime is fucking garbage by removing the sex and removing the interaction. As to its fame? Anime had less variety back then, and 4chan/2chan had a wider effect on internet culture due to the absence of Twitter/Facebook/Instagram in those days. Back then, the internet was used by basement dwellers. This meant shocking content was prime meme material, and School Days for what it was worth was both shocking because of how long it held off the violence and the fact it aired around this same time. Compared to earlier violent work like Genocyber and MD Geist, School Days is very tame by comparison. |
