Please, No Spoilers!!!!!
I've had my big fucking share of them already!
Basically that, I've heard a lot of people thrashing this show because they expected a harem comedy.
I've got no problem with watching something different, but apparently this show is way beyond what normal anime depicts.
If it is going to get me down and depressed, is it at least be worth watching?

I'm pretty sure people hate the show because the characters are horrible people. I found it more hilarious than depressing though, but I guess once the drama kicks in...Well...Even then I'd say it's more rage-inducing than depressing. Still, definitely worth the watch if you're open to something different.

Don't worry, you will not feel depressed after watching this show. You will come to realize how garbage the characters are, so garbage that it's not worthy of influencing your mood. The show is pretty funny in my opinion.

I think the reason people hate on it so much is because the first episode fools you into thinking it's another cute little romance, probably a lovely little school slice-of-life harem like 90% of the other anime out there (it seems to me some of the time :|). In fact, this is probably the reason most people started watching it, with a name like "School Days."

Then when it turns out it doesn't fit their cute little image they rage and scream about how shit it is. I think it's a very good anime personally, one of my favorites, and very original.

I wouldn't say depressing, just more like infuriating at how things end if you liked a character in the show (particularly the mc).

In my opinion it was like watching the kids at my school and their drama, only with a really dramatic ending.

I personally thought it was pretty damn entertaining, and the ending made it worthwhile.

It was one of my first anime (5 years ago) so it kinda depressed me for a couple days, not that so called "depression" of course but you know what I mean.
The ending song sealed the deal for me (I was not accustomed with that type of songs) but I do like those depressive songs now, they are pretty inspiring.
I'm sure I wouldn't be impressed if I saw it now for the first time though.

Depressing? More like rage filling. By episode 5 I hated Makoto so much I cringed whenever he appeared. I skipped the rest and went straight to the ending. I guess in the end

Apparently everyone was left with that rage. I guess I could handle that, though I still find it amazing that a show can make it's MC be hated so much, I suppose it was designed to be hated.

It's a lot like Shadow Star Narutaru. It gives you a sense of something usual and generic, lulling you into a sense of ho-um and complacency until things start spinning in a direction that doesn't seem to reflect the beginning episodes.

School Days is a lot like that. You go 'Dafuq was that?'

By the way, you could also watch Shadow Star Narutaru...hehehe

If you love polyamorous relationships like every other animal or most animals in the animal kingdom, then yes (and given that the female treasures dismemberment.)


that pretty much spoils the ending LOL

you need to watch it to understand, its not depressing it just really pisses you off the way the MC acts and views different things..
It's something you want to read the spoilers with or "like me" you will have trouble going through it lol.

The ending makes it all worth it and leave you gasping for a breath from a huge wtf turn.

But in the same turn, its kind of expected, or dare I say, wanted?

While the show wasn't depressing (just shocking), one ending in the novel actually was pretty depressive. In that ending, Makoto's actually the good guy. Sekai gets pregnant with Taisuke and claims that it's Makoto's kid (even though they didn't have sex according to what I played, but yeah bugs I guess). Makoto of course finds out that she got pregnant while she was dating Taisuke and refuses to raise his child, as he's a kid himself. Sekai gets butthurt and kills him after few years.

People hate it so much because of a sad ending with a sadistic plot.
If you saw a harem in real life, most people would feel jealous. They would get angry if the guy didn't notice their feelings and plays around. So why do people enjoy other harems such as To Love Ru/ most fan service anime so much?
That is what this anime was made for. It is one of a kind, must watch. It is THAT unique.
As for the ending, it is straight up sad, (95 percent of all anime seem to be happy or bittersweet endings, or not end at all)

That's what I though when I finished it. I wasn't sad, but I was angry through most of the show, like people predicted, and I actually liked the ending.
This anime is unique in that it shows how a harem would be and how it would end up in real life, plus a couple of good life lessons. I liked it, and loved the last scenes.

I must admit that I was pretty depressed after this one.
And not really because it was THAT bad, no.

Anyway, I'm glad that my school days aren't like those showed in this anime.
Btw., anyone here played the visual novel? I've been wondering, are there really good ends in this game? After anime I'm not even sure...
Also, is it true, that the game contains Kokoro and Sekai's mum routes? Jeez...

1.) I do have the VN and a lot of endings are good ends. Hell, there are only three death ends and a few breakup ends.
2.) That is the Cross Days VN, which is basically Makoto but replacing his blood with Viagra.

Hard to believe for the 1st one, but I'll probably check it, when I get over anime, at least ;) About the last sentence - I can somehow imagine it... :D Thanks, anyway.
