Looking for a new anime to watch but I wanted to ask, what's with School Days? People keep recommending it and/or calling it awful. I can't tell if it's some running troll or just difference in tastes. wow, even almost 1500 pages back, http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=94273¤tpage=150 If you want my advice, stay away from School days, after watching it I hated myself. Good recent anime Id recommend to new people would be Bakemonogatari (same studio that did Madoka) and Ano Hana. http://myanimelist.net/anime/5081/Bakemonogatari http://myanimelist.net/anime/9989/Ano_Hi_Mita_Hana_no_Namae_wo_Bokutachi_wa_Mada_Shiranai Haters gonna hate. | ||

School Day is quite psychologically contorted, gruesome, and sexually disturbing, especially offputting due to the young age of the characters. No plot spoilers, but this isn't something you would ever encounter in western media. Sorry if I ruined anyone's fun. I felt really bad for the dude who watched School Day with his girlfriend upon recommendation, or at least I think that's what happened. | ||

I think the story was that he was looking for anime to watch during a long road trip. Half the thread recommended School Days. He watched it and the girl sitting next to him watched it also, both seemed interested in it, then they both got had at the end. ADT - 1, Newcomer - 0 | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/8J2hj.jpg) So far except for Anna and Iori's entrance, mostly Iori's because who doesn't like Mikos with guns, It's so.... Boring! the only cool characters are Anna and Iori.....Uta is like meh, Osananajimi type moe character seems like, but wtf is with the Kudou sisters, they randomly show up but they're....boring! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/P6cYo.jpg) Anna ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/vvwzS.jpg) Iori | ||

But seriously, can you guys lay off the "OMG YURI" every single post? This is mostly directed at Blasterion, who barely even posts ANYTHING unless its a single line about how much he likes yuri, and how much he thinks that we like reading how much he likes yuri. It is really fucking irritating, and I know I'm not the only one irritated by it. | ||

Telling someone who says that he liked DBZ to watch School Days because they are similar animes? C'mon man. 0/10. Try harder. You deserved to get warned for that. | ||

[03:16] <Caller> alright how about this [03:16] <Caller> if i killed the character with my own two hands [03:16] <Caller> would i feel good about it [03:16] <Sentenal> lol [03:16] <Caller> if i do that character is a moral fag [03:17] <Sentenal> would you feel good about it if you killed shauni with your two hands? [03:17] <Caller> ofc [03:17] <Sentenal> so shauni is a moralfag? [03:17] <Caller> ye [03:17] <Sentenal> IT ALL [03:17] <Sentenal> MAKES SENSE [03:18] <Caller> yep So if Caller would feel good about killing the character with his own hands, then they are a moralfag. On a related note, Shauni is a moralfag, by this definition. | ||

You don't talk about School Days Thanks to whoever recommended me Chihayafuru. I like it a lot, although it would be even better if it was about starcraft and not some card game. | ||

I guess it was a 0 effort rec for a 0 effort post asking for recs cause there is a chart for that. | ||

Tickets are usually sold out months in advance via a lottery And Nana has the special trait of actually having more female than male fans despite her origins. She also has a ton of mainstream fans from her appearance at the red-white concert last year. The best place to look for scalpers is Yahoo Auction in Japan. They are VERY expensive we are talking a 3-5x markup. But if if price is not an issue go take a look. I am not a nana fan, but I've dumped a lot of cash for Shikata Akiko and Hatsune Miku rofl. Proxies like Japonica will send the tickets to your hotel room. Well, I wasn't surprised that it was sold out, but if it's 3-5x more expensive, I don't think I'd be willing to fork out that much cash =\. I might check it out tomorrow anyways. Just to see how many people there are =P. Regarding School Days, no amount of spoilers can really prepare you for what you see. I can attest to that since I had known/read about the ending before watching it, and the road to it still blew my mind. | ||

Blasty at least the art of Mirai Nostalgia looks great. I guess that helps a bit when the plot is dull? | ||

If I recall correctly, CSheep actually really liked School Days.... Of course these are special cases.  | ||
