School Days final episode (ep12) was supposed to air yesterday but apparently, it did not take off. The final episode was canceled and speculations from blogs and other sources pointed to this supposed link, or rather news.Source: http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/national/news/20070918p2a00m0na006000c.html
A police officer was fatally attacked by his 16-year-old daughter with an ax in the predawn hours of Tuesday, police said.
It is sad to hear such news of such killings although we get to hear it every now and then over the globe. Sources from various blogs highlighted that the episode was removed because it is bloody. Could it be true ..hmm.

I found this on youtube, funny yet freaky, is this a fan made flash game? The part where the freaked out Makoto was shivering got me laughing. Anyway, just for laughs (lol)
Before I start, let me just rant a while…Makoto sux, Makoto sux, Makoto shld just jump into the river and die. Anyway, if one were to follow the way how Makoto woo a girl, thats the end of his life. LOL. However, I am pretty impressed on how the anime is able to lump up several “h-scenes” from the game and make its own original in the anime. eg: h-scene at the school rooftop and also some originals like the park and the ktv. It is very obvious that the anime may take a turn and lean towards the bad ending but we wont know if there might be an anime exclusive.
In this episode, Makoto tries to get ecchi with Kotonoha but was rejected as she’s not ready. Kotonoha reveals that to Sekai so Sekai decides to give Makoto a special “education” lesson in how to treat a girl gently (omg.. -.-) in the physical way. Makoto takes the lesson granted and advances on Sekai which Sekai, in the end allowed Makoto to do what he want for she’s secretly in love with him. Kotonoha’s last min sms to Makoto when the both of them were on a “special lesson” is something I am wondering…did Makoto and Sekai had sex together on the rooftop ? or did they stop due ot the ringtone of the cellphone. Basically in the game, Makoto advances to Sekai during a “special lesson” and tells her that he “wanted” her, and thats the turning point.
Kotonoha, on the other hand is still thinking that it is her wrong not to let Makoto do what he wants. For those who played the game, I guess you guys know what ecchi scene to come up next. :P My sympathies lie with Kotonoha although I prefer Sekai’s character. I mean, in my honest opinion, Sekai should just keep off the both of them despite secretly in love with him and instead I consider that kind of act a kind of seduction, yes. Seduction is the word. Of course, Makoto is also being a jerk here in the anime. LOL. Yes…so..my my conclusion? Makoto should just die :P
Makoto deserves a big knock on his nuthead once in a while, he has got to be more “sensative” to a girl somehow. In this episode, Kotonoha is unhappy because being a couple, Makoto still calls her Katsura-san (surname). I think this is the worst mistake a guy can make when talking to his girlfriend. Luckily, this is an anime, it is pretty rare for Makoto-class people here. Anyway, the episode advances further as Makoto visits Kotonoha’s home. Kotonoha’s younger sis, Kokoro gets to meet her sis’ bf too and had hell lots of fun (*remembers Summer Days*) Sekai’s Radish costume was omg! There were some slight references to Summer Days in this episode (FYI: Summer Days is the “sequel” to School Days where the story revolves mainly around Setsuna). The ending of this episode was disturbing though as Makoto tells Sekai that handling Kotonoha in a relationship is tiring.
We can assume many possibilities – Kotonoha will be hurt deeply in future episodes, Makoto will start to have feelings towards Sekai. Otome is unhappy with Kotonoha and will try ways to add stress to her. Unfortunately, we havent get to see the “ecchi” scene in this episode, not that it is for fan service but is one of the crucial turning point in the 3’s relationship towards each other. Something is gonna happen soon. I still believe the “glass cracking” opening in ep1 holds a significant meaning. :P
One thing I liked about School Days’ game was the multiple songs that came with it per chapter of the story as the game advances. Songs performed by Kiriko, Minami Kuribayashi and some of the well known singers for anime songs. The anime follows the same fashion somehow, ep2 features another song and whoa..it is pretty nice. The OP was a big turn-off though, I dont really like the song and the animation OP sequence is pretty average introducing the girls one by one. As what I have mentioned in the previous episode, the quality of the anime goes up and down. It can be very good at one point and all in justa short while, drop to a sudden low.
In this episode, Makoto is trying to be a bastard and by following the guidance of a stupid book, he tries to get his first kiss from Kotonoha. Poor Kotonoha was terrified and gave him a slap. Luckily for him, Kotonoha somehow forgave Makoto with the help from Sekai. Sekai tells Kotonoha that guys can be just too “horny” at times (well..lol? what can i say? -.- ) Anyway, this is one anime I wont recommend to girls for sure. If given a chance without the H-elements (console ver maybe), I would rather introduce the game as it is a very nice romance story between 2 girls and 1 guy. The story is advancing fast here, given how they are progressing, if it it was the game, the first ecchi scene should be appearing soon between Kotonoha and Makoto.
