School Days: Episode 2

Rating: 7.3/10

Impressions:

So Makoto scores in the first episode with Sekai, and now again with Kotonoha. Things seem to be going pretty well for now, despite him being such a retard. Yup, I hate him now. I usually don’t hate harem leads no matter what happens, but seeing Makoto do the stupidest things possible on his date is just horrific. For an ending, I would like one where he gets killed or something. I do want an ending where he gets together with Sekai, though for that to happen he definitely needs to reform his personality and common sense. He’s a real bastard at the moment (I feel sorry for Kotonoha lol).

I’m slightly disappointed that the mood between Makoto and Sekai doesn’t change even after she makes a move on him. I’m sure no one in Japan would believe that kissing is a way of saying hello. Even in western countries, between teenagers a kiss on the cheek is as far as anything goes between friends. I guess Makoto is too infatuated with Kotonoha to worry about Sekai. Hopefully Sekai makes another move soon and actually gets her feelings stuck in that think brain of Makoto’s (lol am I speaking too badly about him? I don’t actually hatre him that much—he IS really annoying though).

Kotonoha’s change in attitude during the last few minutes of the episode certainly make me like her character more. I doubt she’s moved on from her reserved and shy self, though as it seems things will probably start heating up soon and she’ll be forced to be more aggressive. I wonder how she’ll feel when she actually thinks about the kiss that she shares with Makoto. I can imagine an ‘OMG what did I do? Embarrassing!’ line coming from her in the next episode, but personally I’d prefer it if she actual stays in the state of mind that she is in during those last few scenes. At least then any competition with Sekai will be interesting.

    Danny, It took you only 2 episodes to hate Makoto. lol

    You said that you disappointed that the mood between Makoto and Sekai didn’t change. Well, what do you expect? Makoto is one of the worst leader male in the history of H-game.

    If the prodecure should the ending where Makoto gets together with Sekai (like you want), this is going to piss off a lot of gamers. lol

    Well, at least, the pacing of this series is fast, so a lot of things can happen which makes it very exciting to watch.

    Ah yes, Makoto’s bastard/jackass level is now beginning to rise. How high will it go before the end (BAD END)? Nooooo one knows. :P

    You’re now the third person (at least) who states that Makoto is a bastard. Oh damn, I feel sorry for the girls already. @.@
    But I don’t watch the anime for the relationship anyways, it’s solely because of the girls and as long as they remain cute, I probably will want to know what happens next…

    what do these girls see in this bastard anyway? (i hope they won’t say “he’s kind” – that’s the lamest answer any girl can come up w/)

    i want the bloodbath to begin

    kenshin514: yeah ok I see your point…lol things never work out how I want them in any show with more than one love interest…

    Leon: it can’t be rising too quickly…we still have like 11 episodes to go @_@

    Sasa: I feel sorry for them too, but I guess I also feel slightly sorry for Makoto for being born such a tard =/

    Naota: i’d go for any of the ones where he dies lol

    adrian: once again, it’s anime so there’s no common sense anywhere xD And about the ‘bloodbath’, wouldn’t this only happen in the end, since there’s only so many people you can kill before the finale (lol like zero people)
