It was then when I picked up interest in anime for the first time, and it was all thanks to Makoto's featured death. I wouldn't recommend this except to diehard fans or to those who haven't yet watched the other version- in the case of the latter, I will say this does make a good way to sample the anime.īack in the starting era of my anime (or rather, my anime days )), I would binge-watch WatchMojo's crappy TOP 10 lists in hope to kill some time, that until I stumbled across the infamous “TOP 10 anime characters deaths”. Not a bad anime, but there are better things to be watching, including the other version of School Days.
However, the animation quality was off-putting, and the familiarity of the script made it a little boring. Watching this was sort of a novel experience, no pun intended, due to the very visual novel feel. Particularly in Sekai's case, the focus was directed on fan service. The lack of complicated character animation, however, failed to bring them out. Makoto is a little more obviously violent, and Katsura seems to have more personality immediately evident. The characters are presented much the same as in the 12-episoder. I suspect it was taken directly from the game it did lend to the visual novel feel. The OP and ED are typical anime music, and the background music is elevator-worthy. Nothing good or bad in particular about the soundtrack. One thing I did like about it was that it maintained the feel of a visual novel, with unusual clip splicing (usually with character profiles). However, some of theĬonversation scenes include stationary characters at a long-distance shot that was eye-hurtingly bad. It's on par with low-quality GIF art, which I can excuse in exchange for the decent job on the characters themselves, and the recycled backgrounds are understandable. The downside, however, is that it discontinues you would have to watch the 12-episode version to find out what happens next.īeing an ONA, I cut it some slack.
The ending of this version is much more dramatic than that of its counterpart, but in a good way. Created Tuesday, April 15 2008.The story is the same as the 12-episode anime's first episode, with minor differences in the script.

Think of this OVA as being for School Days (TV) what Ichigo 100% OVA 5 was for Ichigo 100% TV - a weird but funny alternate reality approach.

And as such it would totally not fit to the rest of the series during the first pass. Lots of little elements of this story (like Makoto's inability to choose, certain "tools" and Kotonoha's mood while preparing the hand-made chocolate whose ingredients gave me a good laugh) indicate that the audience should have seen the complete series before - this isn't just some episode you could insert at any particular position in the time-line, it's more like a parody of the series with its over the top comedy/action when Makoto is being chased by the girls (including two quite surprising "contenders").
This was a nice variation of the scenario (given that dreadful end of the series) with the characters being compatible to the original for a while and then going the slapstick path.
