  1. School Days: A Dark Anime (Eng-Spa)@pannavi708d

      Buen día Comunidad de #TheAnimeRealm. Hoy les traigo un animé que como el título lo indica, me resultó bastante oscuro. Les hablaré un poco de School Days. Como ya saben, no me gusta hacer spoilers.

    -1-

      Este animé, recuerdo que le di una oportunidad porque un buen amigo me lo recomendó con mucho ahínco. Sin embargo, yo apenas empezaba a ahondar en el mundo del animé sin tener conocimiento alguno de lo que me encontraría ni tampoco de los diferentes géneros que estos poseen.

      Por lo tanto, esta serie para mí fue bastante traumática, en aquel entonces, ya que fue emitida a mediados del 2007. Pero, ¿por qué es traumática y oscura? A mí causó bastante impacto ya que su final fue totalmente inesperado, dio un giro bastante extremo y resulta oscuro porque ocurrieron cosas desagradables que te harían perder la cabeza con lo descabellado que es.

    -2-

      La serie está basada en una novela visual o mejor dicho uno de esos "juegos" virtuales en donde tú mismo eliges cómo se va desarrollando la historia. Dicha novela lleva el mismo nombre de la serie y de acuerdo a cómo vayas desglosando el drama en la novela interactiva, podrás disfrutar de un total de 21 finales diferentes.

      En cuanto al animé, sólo cuenta con 12 episodios y 2 OVAS. Yo, sólo me vi la serie sin los OVAS. Y como dije, fue la primera serie dramática con un giro tan oscuro que me dejó mal por unos cuantos días, pero en menor magnitud que el trauma que me dejó Made in Abyss. Nada supera la oscuridad de Gore y crueldad que muestran en esta última.

    -3-

      Y bueno la trama de School Days, básicamente desglosa el drama típico de un triángulo amoroso con drama por aquí y por allá, traiciones, engaños y se ve cómo el protagonista llamado Makoto, saca provecho a TODO y a todas para su beneficio propio, al extremo de utilizar a las personas.

      Pero ¿por qué esto es traumático para mí? Lo oscuro de la serie se resume a que los personajes usados aquí son literalmente unos niños, entre 13 a 16 años. Entiendo, se ven más como adolescentes y lo son, pero al fin y al cabo siguen siendo niños mentalmente, que apenas se desarrollan y se dejan llevar por el descontrol hormonal que esto acarrea.

    -4-

      Ver de lo que son capaces de hacer a tan corta edad es lo que me causó el trauma. Ya que me hizo preguntarme varias veces ¿Dónde están los padres de estos niños para que le pongan control al asunto?. Y pues si bien es cierto, la historia que desarrolla este animé tiene unos cuantos "huecos" por así decirlo, para mi resultó ser igual de buena.

      Ya que la trama tan dramática atrapa a uno desde el inicio. Aquí literalmente una cosa lleva a la otra y no puedes parar de verla. Me resultó bastante entretenida, intrigante y fue una de las historias que me marcaron tanto el gusto por los géneros de suspenso, terror y drama en películas, series de TV y por supuesto, en animé.

    -5-

      Esta serie que desde mi punto de vista posee personajes realmente inolvidables, de mi parte está totalmente recomendada. Si no fuera por los "huecos" que tiene en ocasiones, le daría sus 5 Estrellitas Doradas completas, pero lastimosamente no todo aquí es perfecto, así que sólo le doy:

    English

      Good morning #TheAnimeRealm Community. Today, I bring you an anime that as the title suggests, I found to be quite dark. I'll tell you a bit about School Days. As you know, I wouldn't say I like to do spoilers.

    -1-

      I remember giving this anime a chance because a good friend recommended it to me. However, I was just starting to delve into the world of anime without knowing what I would find or the different genres they have.

      So, this series for me was quite traumatic, at the time, as it was aired in mid-2007. But why is it traumatic and dark? To me it caused quite an impact as its ending was unexpected, it took quite an extreme turn and it turned out dark because unpleasant things happened that would make you lose your mind with how far-fetched it is.

    -2-

      The series is based on a visual novel or rather one of those virtual "games" where you choose how the story unfolds. The novel has the same name as the series, and depending on how the drama unfolds in the interactive novel, you will be able to enjoy a total of 21 different endings.

      As for the anime, it only has 12 episodes and 2 OVAs. Me, I only watched the series without the OVAS. As I said, it was the first drama series with such a dark twist that it left me sick for a few days, but to a lesser extent than the trauma Made in Abyss left me with. Nothing beats the darkness of Gore and the cruelty they show in the latter.

    -3-

      And well the plot of School Days, basically breaks down the typical drama of a love triangle with drama here and there, betrayals, deceit and you see how the protagonist named Makoto, takes advantage of EVERYTHING and everyone for his benefit, to the extreme of using people.

      But why is this traumatic for me? The dark part of the series boils down to the fact that the characters used here are kids, between the ages of 13 to 16. I get it, they look more like teenagers and they are, but at the end of the day, they are still kids mentally, barely developing and getting carried away with the hormonal uncontrol that comes with it.

    -4-

      Seeing what they are capable of doing at such a young age is what caused the trauma for me. It made me wonder several times Where do the parents of these children control the matter? And while it is true, the story that develops this anime has a few "holes" so to speak, for me, it turned out to be just as good.

      Since the dramatic plot grabs you from the very beginning. Here literally one thing leads to another and you can't stop watching it. I found it quite entertaining, and intriguing and it was one of the stories that marked my taste for suspense, horror, and drama genres in movies, TV series, and of course, anime.

    -5-

      This series, which from my point of view has unforgettable characters, is recommended by me. If it weren't for the “gaps” it has at times, I would give it its full 5 Little Golden Stars, but unfortunately not everything here is perfect, so I only give it:

  2. You should never watch School Days [ENG/ESP]@ibet1080d

    School Days (2007)

    Maybe it's an exaggeration to say that you should never watch something, I'm not the one to tell you what to do, everyone decides what to do with their time (I admit it, the title is to call attention, although I feel there is some reason). School Days is one of the most controversial series and one that made me say "Why did I watch this filth?" I watched it just for the gossip, to know what was the super serious thing people were talking about this series, and yes, they were right, I shouldn't have watched it, but time spent doesn't come back and today I'm here to tell you why you shouldn't spend your time on this (don't worry, if you still decide to watch it, I won't give spoilers).

    Tal vez es exagerado decir que nunca deberias ver algo, no soy quien para decirte que hacer, cada quien decide que hacer con su tiempo (lo admito, el título es para llamar la atención, aunque siento que hay algo de razón). School Days es una de las series más polémicas y que me hizo decir "¿Por qué vi ésta cochinada?" La vi por el chisme no más, pa saber que era lo super grave que la gente hablaba acerca de esta serie, y si, tenian razón, no debi verla, pero el tiempo gastado no regresa y hoy estoy aquí para decirte a ti por qué no deberias gastar el tiempo en ésto (tranquilo, si aún decides verla, no daré spoilers).

    At the beginning the series deceives you, it makes you think it's a typical normal romantic comedy, but as the chapters go by you realize that it's not like that, the main character is insufferable, someone who doesn't care in the least about the feelings of others and only cares about himself, Sekai (one of the female characters) at the beginning I felt she was cool, good friend, but she quickly releases her true self and is a complete trash (with all due respect to trash), she is bad, seriously bad, she also only cares about herself, anyway, if I say more, I'm going to drop spoilers, which is not the goal of this post, the real goal of this post is to complain about this series and for wasting time watching it (a decision I made myself anyway, but the goal is to complain anyway xd).

    Al principio la serie te engaña, te hace pensar que es una típica comedia romántica normal, pero conforme van pasando los capítulos te vas dando cuenta de que no es así, el protagonista es insufrible, alguien a quien no le interesa en lo más mínimo los sentimientos de los demás y sólo se preocupa por él mismo, Sekai (uno de los personajes femeninos) al principio sentí que era buena onda, buena amiga, pero rápidamente libera su verdadero ser y es una completa basura (con todo respeto a la basura), es mala, en serio mala, también se interesa solo por ella, en fin, si digo más, voy a soltar spoilers, cosa que no es el objetivo de este post, el verdadero objetivo de ésta publicación es quejarme de ésta serie y por perder tiempo viéndola (una desición que yo misma tomé de todos modos, pero el objetivo es quejarse igual xd)

    Source

    To be honest the idea itself of the series is good, but the execution is pretty lousy, especially for the characters that seriously none of them I liked, the main character has nothing remarkable in personality but still a lot of girls at school are looking for him to do adult things (if you know what I mean) and it feels like it's just because, there's no compelling reason for him to be like that, he's not handsome, he's not very interesting, he's not very smart, he's pretty flat and even seems to act out of inertia, all those interactions feel forced, I still can't explain how he gets to have a "harem" (I don't know, maybe it's just me that's wrong and the guy has his charm). The truth is this is my opinion of the anime because I never read the manga, I've seen many people say it's better but I don't know, I can't give my opinion because I never read it.

    Siendo sincera la idea en sí de la serie es buena, pero la ejecución está bastante pésima, sobre todo por los personajes que en serio ninguno me gustó, el prota no tiene nada destacable en personalidad pero aún así un montón de chicas en la escuela lo buscan con fines de hacer cosas de adultos (if you know what I mean) y se siente que es sólo porque si, no hay una razón de peso para que sea así, no es guapo, no es muy interesante, no es muy inteligente, es bastante plano y hasta parece que actúa por inercia, se sienten forzadas todas esas interacciones, aún no me explico como es que llega a tener un "harem" (no sé, quizás sea yo la que está mal y el chico tenga su encanto). La verdad ésta es mi opinión del anime porque nunca leí el manga, he visto a muchos decir que es mejor pero no sé, ahi no puedo dar mi opinión porque nunca lo leí.

    The series has 12 chapters, if you want to watch it, do it at your own risk, there are sensitive scenes and the ending is... Disturbing, if you have already seen it, let me know what you thought of it. Thanks for taking the time to read it and see you again in a future post.

    La serie cuenta con 12 capítulos, si quieren verla que sea bajo su propio riesgo, hay escenas sensibles y el final es... Perturbador, si ya la vieron cuénteme que tal les pareció. Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de leerme y nos vemos de nuevo en un próximo post.

  3. School Days Anime: From Pure And Innocent To Dark And Crazy@wittyzell1129d

    I've been watching anime series to help with my Japanese study, and school themes always fascinate me. Recently I was kinda fed up with the same plot and wanted something spicy and juicy so I asked in the Rated SPG channel of Hive PH discord server of any anime suggestions that would spice up my anime life. @nmore suggested School Days.

    School Days is an old anime, released on 2007 and I remember watching this before. I forgot about the plot so I rewatched it again and now it is stuck in my head until today. I never knew the spice I was looking for would be this insane.

    Story

    Warning: Spoilers on this section

    First half of the anime is a typical storyline you would see in lots of school anime series. There are 3 main characters: the shy and rich girl Kotonoha Katsura, the cheerful and bright Sekai Saionji, and the admirer Makoto Itou. You could probably guess what's the plot from here. Yes, that's right. Itou-kun, our main guy, is in love with Katsura-san who he keeps seeing in the train ride to school.

    There's a legend, rather a rumor, in school that when you set the photo of your crush as your phone's wallpaper and no one finds about it in 3 weeks, your love will be fulfilled. Of course, our guy took a photo of Katsura secretly and nosy Saionji-san, the seatmate of Itou-kun, found out about the wallpaper. Saionji-san was really interested about it and helped bring the two together despite Katsura-san being in another class. Katsura-san is the innocent and pure girl, kinda wary of boys so being around Itou-kun was fun for her but at the same time, she has limits set. Saionji-san kept pushing the two together until they became a couple. Turns out, Katsura-san also likes our boy.

    They became a couple but Itou-kun wanted more physical touch with Katsura-san. Boys boys boys. As days gone by, our boy got tired of their relationship, despite having a great crush on Katsura-san. It was only a few days (or probably weeks) but it seems his love for her got stagnant or maybe went from high to low. It's probably because he can't continue his advances to his girlfriend because of lack of experience or being careful around boys.

    Enter this crazy idea by Saionji-san. She offered to become a practice partner to Itou-kun so those acts that should be done by couples, they were doing it. The practice led to cheating and later on, Itou-kun's ignoring the actual girlfriend which is Katsura-san.

    After few episodes, Saionji-san became the "girlfriend" even when Itou-kun wasn't clear in breaking up with Katsura-san. And karma is real because Itou-kun wanted thrills so he slept with other girls in his class and the classmates of Katsura-san. He was known to be "the Itou-kun", girls wanted a taste of him.

    Saionji-san found out later that Itou-kun slept with another girl and confronted him about it. She brought up the "I'm pregnant" card and even shouting it in class so everyone would hear. "The Itou-kun" soon faded away because the girls didn't want to be involved in the scandal.

    Katsura-san, on the other hand, became lifeless and like a zombie. She still had hopes that their relationship with Itou-kun is going steady. She never gave up being the "girlfriend". So when Itou-kun was abandoned by everyone, especially the girls who had slept with him, she was there to be with him. She stayed because she said she's a forgiving girlfriend.

    Itou-kun wanted Saionji-san to consult with the experts in the hospital introduced by Katsura-san. At first I thought this is because Itou-kun wanted her to get an abortion but maybe I interpreted it wrong and just a normal checkup if the baby is really there or not. Saionji-san didn't want to go, especially that the hospital is introduced by her friend-turned-rival.

    While the first half was innocent, the 2nd half was crazy. And the ending was brutal.

    Saionji-san took a kitchen knife and stabbed Itou-kun not just once but many times. After she realized what she had done, she went back home and stayed in her room, just as she always does when she's having troubles. She got a message from Itou-kun's cellphone, so she went to the rooftop where the 3 would always hang out, meeting Katsura-san there with Itou-kun's head in the bag. Katsura-san killed Saionji-san and opened her belly revealing no baby. The anime ended showing Katsura-san lying down and holding Itou-kun's head in the yacht - kinda peaceful but not really.

    My Thoughts

    I thought the anime would just be another typical school romance but it wasn't. Crazy stuff is going on in the 2nd half of the anime. The things that occur in the anime can be related to real life happenings.

    |

    First, Makoto Itou is the opposite of his name. Makoto (誠) means sincerity, honesty and integrity. He was innocent when he had a crush, but when they became a couple and started wanting more, he had succumbed to the pervert route. He couldn't control his desires that he had to be physically involved with other girls. For me, he's a jerk and a pervert.

    Come to think about it, boys in that age are typically thinking of erotic scenarios with their girlfriends. In that age, it's normal to be curious. What's not normal is sleeping with others while having a girlfriend. He just became a cheater at first year in high school.

    In Japan though, I don't know what's up with high schoolers but I know cheating is common in adults. You would often "hear" and "see" that a married man is sleeping with other women/men, and sometimes the wife knows about it but doesn't give a damn. Boyfriends would play with other women or go to hostess clubs (キャバクラ). At some point, they wanted to release their desires and seek excitement, hence this cheating life.

    If this happens to me, good bye. I'm not as forgiving as these tolerating wives. Cheating, especially sleeping with other men/women, is a no-no for me.

    Second, Kotonoha Katsura should know when to move on. She should know her worth! I'm not as angry to Katsura-san as I am to Itou-kun but she should stop chasing for a fairytale love story because it doesn't happen in real life. Okay, anime life. She should look at reality and not be in bubble fantasizing the perfect romance.

    So girls, don't be like Katsura-san. Know your worth. If the guy you're dating is "ghosting" you, be courageous and be ready to move on. You don't have to cling to that love and end up lifeless and hollow like what happened to Katsura-san. Don't find your identity and worth in other people.

    Third, Sekai Saionji is such a bitch you should never follow what she's doing. She was the cheerful and friendly girl everybody loves but she gave in to her emotions and temptations. In the end, her true colors showed: selfish and an unfaithful friend. She took advantage of Itou-kun's relationship with Katsura-san. How can a girl be this crazy for her love? Men in a relationship are off limits, and we all know that. Why would you be intimate with him if you know he's taken by no less than your very own friend? Saoinji-san's happiness is fleeting. Karma worked its way in the end.

    So yeah, karma. Because Itou-kun cheated with Saionji-san by sleeping with her, expect that Itou-kun will never be loyal again. Some boys are like this, once they go down the cheating path, they can't get out of it easily. You wouldn't expect them to be faithful in their next partners. Not all men are like this though, some learned their lesson and found the right one that they won't leave behind.

    That killing scenes at the last episode of the anime was too much for me to bear. I was already kinda angry and disappointed by the characters' personalities and that last episode was the craziest. I couldn't forget how they died violently. This also happens in our society, and sometimes no one is talking about it.

    The things you do for love..

    Love can indeed make you feel you're in paradise but at the same time, can make you do madly insane stuff you wouldn't even think of doing.

    So be very careful when you fall in love. Sometimes, you're not you when you do.

    Despite all these feelings towards the characters, I think it's an anime you should watch. It's old but one of the best "romance" series out there. It got low ratings but I still think it's one of those close to reality anime series that you would really reflect after. As you may see, my reflection took 1k+ words. LOL


    Thanks for reading! See you around! じゃあ、またね!
