Summary:
A shy and unconfident teenager, Itou Makoto, has resigned to stealing glances at a cute girl as they ride the same train each morning on their way to their high school. At least until Saionji Sekai surprises Makoto and chances a peek at a photo-snap of the beautiful Katsura on his cell-phone. After evilly teasing Makoto about his hopeless crush, Sekai offers to support him in his romance. So after many Makoto-pep-talks and lots of scheming, the three become close friends. Close enough that Makoto braves asking Katsura out on a date. And she agrees. Later that day, Makoto finds a quiet moment to express his thanks for all support that Sekai has offered him, and makes clear his intent on finding a way to repay her kindness. But he is totally unprepared and very surprised at the reward that Sekai has chosen. Sekai steals a long kiss from his lips, before breaking away to run for the train. Sekai turns and wishes Makoto well on his date.

I'll start by pointing out that I rarely watch animes that fall under this genre. So I was damn surprised when I began watching. Why? Simple. I enjoyed every moment of it.
School Days isn't your average anime about a love triangle within school, it's different... very different. Oh and good different, as I'm sure you could tell. I pretty much only have praise for this anime, it kept me entertained, I could never see the plot twists coming and whilst the character cast may've not been as great, it is still fairly good. I wouldn't recommend it to everybody, especially younger ones (it can be classified as horror for a reason), but I must say, to anybody who is looking for an anime that this is most definitely worth watching.
