    Once the shock factor dissapears, one realizes that the "daysverse" is so over the top, comically fucked up that it cannot be possibly taken seriously. Everyone is either an incest freak, a gang-bang rapist, a murdered or all in one hilarious package. In one novel, Makoto can impregnate either his friends' mothers or even his own mother.

      I used to think School Days was shock value BS until I began a serious relationship. This stuff really does happen in relationships, the gory stuff happens less - but intrusive thoughts about offing your ex or their new lover is pretty common. School days just shows what happens if someone acted upon those thoughts.

    I love your analysis, but in the VN and the anime, Katsura didn’t “sleep with” Taisuke. He assaulted her because Otome basically told him that being forceful with Katsura would get her to fall for him. If you watched the scene in the VN she is actively saying no and Taisuke is still forcing himself on her while actively telling her that Makoto doesn’t love her anymore.
    I love your entire analysis, but I just wanted to clear that up.

    Makoto may still be an asshole all around, but in Cross Days it actually works well. It's obvious that he is supposed to be an antagonistic character if not the main antagonist, which he is still. Point being it makes sense for us to hate him and him being written as the scumbag he is. As you said Yuki is a voice of the audience trying to reason with Makoto and actually gives us someone we want to succeed in his goal. Yuki still achieves his goal in protecting someone from Makotos sadisticness, maybe not who he intended in the beginning but he is still a hero. I haven't read the Cross Days manga but with the story being told from you I have enough information for this claim.

Especially after someone has betrayed someone else's trust. Just because you cheated once, doesn't mean your significant other will immediately gain their trust back. That isn't realistic. The fire, the thing that is "trust" is very very difficult to rekindle.

    I just wanted to explain a good reason as to why Makoto wasn't reported for the assault. In Japan, the punishment for sexual assault is a lot lighter compared to most other countries as for the most part from what I've heard depending on which part of Japan you are in, the punishment does not fit the crime. If you were caught sexually harassing or molesting someone, you get arrested and detained for 6 months and get charged for 500,000 yen. Makoto likely wouldn't care too much and his ego still would get in the way.

    I’m honestly really impressed with with the conclusion of Yuki’s story in Cross Days. Sometimes people are just super unhealthy, and you have to learn to separate yourself from the drama and trying to change things because sometimes, they just don’t want to change. Breaking off to take care of yourself and live your own life away from unneeded problems can be the best option. The end lesson is a really mature theme I haven’t yet seen in any other media, especially anime, and one with ties to an adult romance visual novel at that. I wonder who wrote that story and if they have any other similar works.

    His father, Tomaru Sawagoe (a prominent character in 0verflow's previous games), has made it so that the vast majority of the cast in all 0verflow games is related to one another.
    Like shit dawg, Sekai and Kiyoura are technically sisters and cousins at the same time while also being technically Itou's nieces. And going by an adultery chart (yes, that's a thing) that 0verflow released in one of their magazines, they're the ones that Itou ends up having a child with in the future.

      @hineraable 5 місяців тому +5

      ​​@@DisheartthornI'll say that the obligatory femboy is slowly becoming a trope in harem anime/manga as of recently, it probably isn't as common in retro content. It's like a slow progression , take Overflow for example, the older games didn't really have femboy characters, and the idea of sex between two male characters was used as nothing but a joke. Later on however, Cross Days was released, with a crossdresser MC (Yuuki) that has full sex scenes with other male characters, yet still, the game doesn't give you an ending were Makoto and Yuuki become an actual couple, even tho it does give you that option between Yuuki and the female characters. So basically, most of the time, femboy characters aren't taken by the narrative (of a game, manga, anime) as a serious romantic option for other male characters, they do tend to have fanservice scenes and the like, because they're usually there just to tease/satisfy that part of the audience that is into them, but for the narrative to treat them as a serious romantic option is indeed rare, but who knows, maybe in the future it'll be more common, on the same way that their inclusion is becoming more common as well. This is even the case in reverse harems (y'know, a female character surrounded by men) with female characters that look like men becoming more common as well (tho with less pornish undertones, given that reverse harems aren't as porny as regular harems anyway).

    Cross Days is really interesting because if you think about it, since Makoto is the main antagonist, that means us/you, the player controlling Makoto in the VNs, is the antagonist. How many players of School Days and sequels go into the game thinking “what’s the best route to get a harem?”, EXACTLY what Makoto was doing in Cross Days. He was fine with Yuki joining, fine with “convincing” Rika to join him, fine with Yuki cross dressing and joining, fine with a huge harem all for himself. Sure some players might be thinking they’re “just getting all endings/bang for their buck/playing all the game has to offer”, but when they go down the harem/messed up routes, they’re just being Makoto in the “Days” universe.
    I’m also very happy Yuki and Roka got out of that mess cause HOOOOO BOYYYYY, they don’t deserve Makoto’s deranged schemes.

    You know about reporting Roka's assault in cross days, I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure that would mean (in the japanese legal system, but this is in the US too) she'd have to repeatedly describe the event in excruciating detail to an officer, and then she might not even be believed because sexual assault victims are treated terribly seemingly everywhere. Sexual assault is also apparently really really common in japan especially on trains, like to the point some don't report it because it happens that often. I'm not japanese and I'm only saying what I heard though so go look into it.

      Yup, I wouldn't dare go out in public alone if I ever went to Japan. Not only is the experience itself absolutely terrifying, the questioning (per protocol police may reenact the scene with a mannequin and have the victim point out how exactly and where exactly it happened) makes me feel like throwing up.
      On another notse, Japan's legal system operates under the assumption that the potential assailant is always guilty until proven innocent. Makes me not want to go there even more.

      Yeah, you're not wrong. Going to the cops about a sexual assault is hard everywhere, and getting them to actually do anything worth a damn is much harder. But actually engaging with the Japanese justice system is likely on an entirely different level. We're talking about a system with a near 100% conviction rate, which says just as much about what cases actually make it to court as it does about the legitimacy of the trials, run and operated nearly entirely by conservative older men.
      *I* definitely wouldn't have the balls to do it. People still face criminal charges for filing 'false' sexual assault charges in the west on a regular basis, even if we rarely hear about it. Now imagine most of our cops could remember voting for one or more convicted war criminal and/or sex slave owner; do you think they'd be better or worse to women? Keeping in mind that many of those war crimes were rape on a truly unimaginable scale.

    I don't think that Sekai was lying about being pregnant in the anime. Why would they show us her throwing up and holding her stomach repeatedly with no one around to perform to if she was lying? Katsura is shown to be delusional, and if Sekai was only a few months pregnant, then there wouldn't really be anything for a teenage girl with a saw to find. When Katsura says there's no baby, it's probably because there's literally no baby in the sense of a newborn baby. Again, this is a girl who was having a conversation with Makoto with a dead/powered down phone. Given that Sekai was actually pregnant in various endings of the VN, I think it's clear that she was actually pregnant in the anime too.

      Late reply, but I think they just left it ambiguous if Sekai was actually pregnant or not. She refused to take a test, and the nausea and missed periods could just as easily have come from the major stress she was under in the moment.
      I do think Sekai genuinely believed she was pregnant though, which may have exacerbated her symptoms

    I find it super interesting how the manga plays into the master manipulator many players of visual novels become. Yeah, at the start, Makoto is an oblivious kid who is trying his best to deal with the situation at hand with no prior experience. But as the player keeps going, keeps trying options and manipulating their responses to get the desired ending, Makoto becomes a different person entirely. Obviously going for routes in a VN isn’t manipulative, but it’s an interesting way to recontextualize the players behaviors as if they were a person within the universe they chose, especially in the harem ending.

    All of these explore the Darkest parts of our Human Desires, and Social norms. Especially once those normally “Normal” things gets twisted to the point where our curiosity and our sense of reality takes a head-on collision!
    It’s pretty crazy, but I guess that’s what I noticed from “School Days”, shit goes down, and it’s all because one boy either interested in love, or wants to have sex.
    But I guess What’s more interesting…is that all these stories have in common is “Choice”. The freedom to choose, but to also see the outcomes of those choices with hardly a positive ending in sight.

It was great to see The Other Side characters just tell them it's not worth it literally we know how this story ends so just go about your lives because this bs will not end well if you continue to get involved. It's literally being in a visual novel while also watching the anime at the same time where you can see that this is wrong in so many levels but you can't really do anything about it which is truly genius in a way if you think clearly on this where all we could do is just walk away which is a good message to those who have a crush on someone and you try so hard to tell them about the warning signs but they continue anyway no matter how toxic the situation is just two later realize that maybe I should have just walked away when I had the chance.

    The Cross Days manga really resides with me, the message of trying to convince someone that something they are doing is wrong only to fail, and ending up with just letting them be and minding your own business, that happened with me recently.
    So me and my friends found out that a teacher at our school (about 35-40) is texting one of our female classmates who is 15. Screenshots were leaked to us, and we found out that they did video chats together, sent pics, and texted each other inappropriate things.
    The first thing me and my friends thought of was telling the school faculty, but we decided to ask the police on what to do in a situation like this, just to make sure. Turns out that in my country, it's alright as long as they don't meet up and do something together (AKA have intercourse) and then they told that instead, we would be the one charged if we ever show the faculty their texts, because of those leaked screenshots, it was an "invasion" of privacy.
    We told our parents about this, and they just told us it's none of our business, and when we talked with the girl who was texting the teacher, she answered with the same thing.
    This still baffles me to this moment, but me and my friends decided it's none of our business and we let it be.

    The way you describe how School Days was misinterpreted reminds me of a similar situation with the Korean manga Killing Stalking. While I’ve never read it myself, it gained a lot of controversy online, with some people accusing the author of being a sick pervert trying to promote Stockholm syndrome; and a concerning amount of others thinking the main relationship was genuine or ideal because one half of the couple was physically attractive. Yet the author herself notes that the series is written as a domestic/psychological horror, and she never intended for it to be romantic. Just because a story portrays toxic relationships doesn’t mean that the writer is outright encouraging the same behavior in real life.

      A lot of people only want gay characters in media if it's cute and fluffy. KS stated outright that it was psychological horror and the internet still got mad because gay people can't be in psychological horror! Gay people can only exist as pure uwu angels who hold hands and blush! /s Good lord that was an obnoxious era of the internet. I'm glad the haters mostly moved on to harassing other writers who write gay men as something other than cinnamon rolls and left KS' author alone.

When the first YABAI scene came, me and my sister was screaming at the top of our lungs and mama came to the rescue, pulling the dvd player plug off the socket. She returned the dvd and got us Toriko.

    Hooo, boy. Here's a name I thought I'd never hear again. I admit I never watched the anime, and was more familiar with the VN. And let me say as someone who looked too deep in the abyss of 0verflow's other titles in the series, be glad your not THAT much of a fan. Let's just say you would look at 70% of the characters in a different light afterwards. I kind of wish there were other VN's like this. Having routes that can either be the most heartwarming stories ever that make you cry, to stories that make you scared of talking to anyone ever again. And I'm still impressed how to my knowledge, this is the only series that has scenes being full animated instead of just frames. While a part of me is disappointed that 0verflow as a company decided to just stop doing stuff and just let the money flow, I'm also glad they at least made an impact as big as they did. Great analysis as always.

      I didn't actually know that, it's a shame the company stopped making new things. I'm sure they could've worked with some interesting ideas given the right inspiration. I also did catch a glimpse of potential routes in Cross Days, which definitely would've resulted in Yuuki (among others) potentially losing some respect points haha. If School Days really is alone in having these art assets, as well as diverse routes going in both directions, then it's a gem we're lucky to have. Thanks for checking the video out, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

    School Days lore goes deeper if you take into consideration the previous Radish series. Basically, Makoto’s brother impregnated everyone in town, including some of his half-sisters via his father. So, in theory, Makoto is the uncle of Sekai, Setsuna, and Roka. The fact that in some timelines Makoto is a psychopathic bastard makes sense since his grandpa was also depraved monster who engaged in SA and incest. I wish I was making this up but it is true. Check the overflow wikia. It is traumatizing.

    School Days is so iconic, people still discuss it to this day.
    I'm not sure people actually hate it, maybe they're just shocked at how it deals with certain subjects and that it doesn't go for a more idealized approach other harem stories might.
    It's almost works as their parody in some aspects by first addressing how messed up certain situations and plot points in harem VNs are only to crank up the crazy to 11.

    I stumbled into School Days in my early teens, when I had just found anime streaming sites and was devouring everything with a romance tag. Needless to say, the series' ending REALLY dampened my hunger for more for quite a while. It definitely got under my skin - I still remember it rather vividly. Still shook me watching this video, more than a decade later.
    I thought the anime just made the strange choice of adapting a visual novel's worst route (a sosiopath run, if you will). I did NOT know it was one of many adaptations.

    It always surprises me when people come away from reviewing this series as grossly misinformed as they are, because the amount of incest involved in this is I N S A N E. It's to a borderline ridiculous degree where one dude is just having kids with his own daughters over and over and over again to like, his great great great grandchildren. That's Makoto's DAD btw It's genuinely crazy that nobody who does a review of this series talks about the rest of the universe. I think this protagonist is actually one of the only characters that isn't an incest baby. Even one of the two girls here is one
