What do you get when two girls fall in live with the same guy? School Days is fairly similar to White Album 2 with the only major difference being that the main characters of WA2 prefers running away from their problems. But WA2 does not take it too extreme like what School Days did.

Like others have said, both shows deal with cheating (boy cheats on multiple females) and are more mature than the typical school romance anime.
Both of these series are VN adaptations.
They both feel like utsuge, where the main aspect is to get (somewhat) attached to the characters before you're enraged and trolled to shit with upsetting love triangle drama.
White Album 2 is better written and has comparatively more likable characters, though.
Dramatic high school love triangles with deceit, mixed feelings, and running from problems. School Days is much more mature with less emphasis on friendship and more on sexual relationships than WA2.
First thing that came to my mind when I started watching White Album 2 was School Days. Both school-setting romance shows portray mature themes despite having teenagers as main characters. Love triangles, serious drama and misunderstandings are fundamental part of these shows. Also, both series manage to create dark and serious atmospheres very well every once in a while. Unexpected plot twists and difficult/unstable characters, though School Days contains gruesome stuff you will not see in WA. Very similar overall feeling.
A love triangle forms early on for both and the main character is often in a limbo state of choosing which girl to go along with. Drama is heavily present in each anime and both anime push the boundaries of an anime romance most other's are too afraid to even try.
Do you want a far more decent love triangle ? So watch White Album. This is an enhanced version of School Days with a true plot, characters got a true soul (unlike Makoshit and his yandere-bitch), with true dramatical interest. And if you wanted to watch school days, please don't watch the 11 first episodes because this is a lost of time, however the last one is most funny OVA I'd never seen.
White Album 2 is basically school days had it been made with a decent budget/ the main character not be a complete cheating asshole/ and the two heroines not be completely bat shit insane. They both deal with love triangles WA2 being more realistic
Two girls love one guy. The MC doesn't really do stuff to his liking and does the opposite of it all. The girls aren't as nice as they look and they're heavy drama series with a dark tone. Both main characters can easily be portrayed as wimps because they run away from their problems and try to avoid it. This keeps giving everyone a larger burden and creates situations of decision making.

An encounter, a love, a child, a girl, two animes. It seems predestined, right at a turning point in their lives. But it seems that not only is she, but another girl, who could steal the happiness of the other, and both are friends. And the child will have to decide with the heart and not with the attraction. Two melodramatic series, one more than the other, with completely opposite endings, but without leaving that air of "How can could he finish in a good way?". You just have to draw your own conclusions.

A love triangle between the mc and two girls (who are best friends) everyone love everyone etc etc...
While watching WA 2 I had the feeling "It makes me think a lot of School Days" main difference is that WA's mc is a good guy and SD a asshole, while SC takes it to the extreme WA has a heart wrecking ending, but not a one that leave you disgusted

If the creators of School Days had gotten their stuff together and made a better, more well-executed version of the show, their final product would have most resembled White Album 2. Both shows focus on a male character who is torn between multiple girls. Both shows also feature realistic teen behavior in the realm of sexual activity. Furthermore, both shows have a plot development wherein the male character realizes that he likes another girl over the girl he initially chose. However, whereas School Days ends up taking a more harem-like approach near the end, White Album 2 stays with its initial love triangle the whole

They have similar triangel love,school settings,and have prostitue scene.
Both are based on eroge visual novels and have a love love triangle as main plot point. Given their source material, both go further than many romance anime and feature kissing, intense hugs, and sex. However, neither shows the latter explicitly or crosses the line to ecchi exploitation. White Album's characters are good people with clearly fleshed out motives, whereas in School Days everybody is a horny idiot, an asshole, or both. White Album has a far superior direction, animation quality, and obviously had a real budget behind it, whereas School Days is the trash version.
- Complex stories
- Love triangle
- Selfish protagonist who deceives girls who have feelings for him
- Rival girls
- More realistic approach to unfaithful love life
- Drama
- Betrayal
both have many similar plots and the anime is about the same principle that 2 school girls are in love with a boy and conflicts and dramatic plots occur
