School Days - Episode 6

I realized that last time I didn’t have any screenshots to include with the blog. But let’s face it, there was no sense in pointing out fanservice in the fanservice episode. Anyhow… Who’s ready to watch Kotonoha break down into a crying and sniveling mess? I am, or rather I’m gonna have to be. I really hope he brings it in a way that makes it seem he’s just breaking up with her, not her finding out he’s been shagging Sekai on the side.

Oh good, I guess they did do it after all. Excellent.

Also, it’s not practicing anymore. You two have literally been fucking on the side. He’s not doing anything for Kotonoha, I think he’s perfectly fixated on you now Sekai.

And good to see Kotonoha doesn’t know a thing yet. Ugh…

So we carry on, Sekai and Makoto make out in public. Then he meets Kotonoha on the train and basically ignores her. But then she’s implied to be wanting to get him a handcrafted Christmas gift later and I’m sure he’ll be a dick about that or- No, you know what’s going to happen? She’s gonna bring it over to him right as he and Sekai are making out in secret and she spots them and then the thing shatters dramatically. Wanna bet?

Afterwards we see Makoto running his mouth to Setsuna about making breakfast for two, and she immediately figures out him and Sekai were together. So then Sekai lies and tells her he already broke up with Kotonoha and uuuuuuuugh…

I think my gift theory is out the window, Kotonoha was looking at scarves and hats. Oh well.

Meanwhile Sekai finally comes to her sense and tells Makoto they should tell her about what’s been going on between them. Maybe not the smartest move as that’ll hurt way more than him and Kotonoha breaking up, but I can’t fault her for wanting to be honest. Of course, Makoto is not gonna go for that because he’s just kind of a douche like that but Sekai is basically forcing him to. I get the feeling that if he doesn’t she’ll tell Kotonoha and he’ll lose them both. But honestly, that’ll freaking teach him.

Maybe an off-topic question but is hot lemonade a common thing in Japan? Is it basically just tea or is it something completely different?

It’s good to see they still didn’t tell her though, even after school and after Makoto lied to her again Sekai seems to be drawing a line but then continues to be a doormat again. Stand up for yourself, girl.

Oh damn it. Kotonoha, no.. Don’t do this. She’s making him a Christmas gift herself. I think my theory might hold water after all. Just replace the dramatic shattering with a dramatic gift drop and you’ll be set.

Well she spotted them alright. Though she’s not immediately exploding into rage or tears because she doesn’t want to assume things. My god this girl is far too good for him.

And now we get a montage of sadness with Katou being a bitch and making Kotonoha miss her chance to talk to Makoto. It’s alright though, he was making out with Sekai earlier anyhow.

HAHA THE THEME IS SINCERETIY AND GOOD FAITH

Sekai finally sort of comes to her senses though and basically forces Makoto to go home with Kotonoha.

I had to pause.

I got angry.

Basically they’re (very awkwardly) walking through town and Kotonoha gets (kinda humorously) after a flyer talking about a couples discount for matching cellphones. She asks Makoto what he thinks but he’s not really giving her a response so she instead offers to get him the other phone as a gift because she’d like them to have matching ones. He then declines and they move on. But that’s not what pissed me off. After she offered to buy him a phone, which isn’t that cheap, she trips and falls. Let’s play a little game shall we?

What would Makoto do?

A ) Help her up make sure she was okay

B ) Help her up but talk down to her because she fell in the first place

C ) Leave her on the ground and nonchalantly ask her if she’s alright

IT’S FUCKING C. HE JUST LEAVES HER LYING ON THE GROUND, HER STUFF ALL OVER THE PLACE, AND ASKS IF SHE IS ALRIGHT. NOT EVEN BOTHERING TO TAKE HIS HANDS OUT OF HIS POCKETS.

I KNOW YOU DON’T LOVE THIS GIRL ANYMORE, IF YOU EVEN EVER REALLY DID, BUT YOU TREAT HER LIKE SHE’S LESS THEN A TOTAL STRANGER. BECAUSE UNLESS YOU ARE IN A HURRY YOU’D PROBABLY AT LEAST OFFER TO HELP SOMEONE UP OR AT THE VERY LEAST HELP THEM GATHER THEIR THINGS.

FUCK

And she apologizes for this whole thing.

I guess he does lean down to pick up her things later, but mostly because he’s curious about her knitting stuff. And even after she tells him about knitting him a scarf or a sweater, no two of them so they can match, he still doesn’t think he should tell her about what’s going on. You are a disgusting human being Makoto Itou, I cannot believe you don’t even feel a shred of sympathy for the girl you were so obsessed with you took a picture of her in secret hoping you two would end up together. And you know what I just realized. It’s all symbolic. He tried to urban legend to have them end up happy together, then Sekai found out after only a day. Then they did get together and very soon they’re broken apart because he likes Sekai. So just like the urban legend, you’ll succeed if you keep the picture there for thirty days. But it seems that if you don’t it’s doomed to fail. So now I’m even more pissed off because that’s actually really clever writing.

First of all good for you Ko- No wait, first of all. Fuck you, School Days. Second, good for you Kotonoha for telling off the bitch squad. Third, god damn it Makoto for instantly touching between Sekai’s legs once you got that text from Kotonoha. Fourth, I fucking called the catching them making out with dramatic item drop. Fifth, what the hell did Katou ask purple haired chick to do? Sixth… Fuck you, School Days.
