School Days 2007 Update
Here’s an update to the announcement for the upcoming anime adaptation of School Days. While it is not stated on the image, it appears, judging the from lighting and layout, to have been taken during the Tokyo Anime Fair 2007 which just ended on Sunday.
The series will start airing in July on Chiba TV and will contain a total of 13 episodes.
Director: Keitarou Motonagake (Yumeria, To Heart: RMM, GetBackers, Amaenaideyo!!)
Series Composition / Script: Makoto Uezu (Utawarerumono, Ah! My Goddess S2, Amaenaideyo!! S2)
Character Design / Overall Art Director: Junji Gotou (original character designer for School Days)
Animation Production: TNK (Kyoushirou to Towa no Sora)
Production: Marvellous Entertainment Inc.
Nothing unexpected, though I can’t say that the staff list so far instills much confidence. Well, I guess it will probably be fine if they remain faithful to the game…
TVシリーズは全13話構成で、原作のどれかのエンディングを再現するのか、アニメオリジナルになるのかは不明だけど、何らかのバッドエンドになるのは確定だそうで。
According to the above line from Moon Phase Zakki, it is still not confirmed whether the ending will follow one of the paths from the game or a original anime path. But apparently, it will be a bad ending. (WTF? I hope it’s just rumours.)

Let’s have the killer ending.

Let’s have the one where you don’t take the penis out of Setsuna and you get her pregnant.

I am hoping for one of the bad endings. Enough of safe endings already!
Yes…

Hmm.. wasn’t that “1st episode” a subtitled version of game beginning (i.e. the output from game was placed into a file with subtitles, imitating a normal anime episode)?
I think I’ve heard something about that some time ago … :P

paikia fansubs ? ~0_o~ work of Sg/My ppl?
School days without violence won’t be as legendary, but it’s going to be difficult to replicate the successes of
1) splat* at building
2) stabbing against sunset backdrop
3) meeting on overhead bridge with saw,
which in all cases depict violent death. So far I don’t think there is any show out there deliberately showing death seriously without a “forced into circumstances” theme like war and sparring.
13 eps are strongly not in favour of the harem ending -_-
(ranked by purposefulness of gore in descending order)
1) higurashi type
1.5) school days somewhere here?
2) elfen lied type
3) bokusatsu dokuro chan type

DM just wants the rampant sex and the violence. How about the love and romance in School Days?

Hmm, thanks for the update.
I would prefer they create either their own anime ending.
If the follow the nice endings, it might seem(depending on the the execution of the plot) that it’s too stupid.
If the follow the violent endings, it would be too predictable(for those who have played the game). It would also be too predictable for those who have read about the endings.
I hope it will a harem style sekai, kotonoha, setsuna, kokoro, otome, hikari, et etc with no one girl in the ending..hopefully there would be some humour too.

’nuff said. =/

Bad ending…OH SHI…!

Episode 1 released by Paikia-fansub was just the demo for the game, basically a slightly-condensed version of the first chapter. I was the translator. LOL.
We didn’t intend to mislead everyone. I blame shia-chan for not including a note to explain the nature of the video.

When I saw the title. I thought you were gonna tell us about your romantic getaway in RJC….
Haven’t been to the new campus but I am sure there’s enough nook and crannies for some nookie.

/me blames darkmirage for not telling me to include a note to explain the nature of the video.

An anime made path could work, depending on if they stick to most of the game events (yeah, a cross between both). Though its the ending that i’m more interested with.
Can’t wait for this one — looking to be one of the main 2007 shows for me.

My only hope is that the anime doesn’t take up the same whopping 7GB of space needed for the game… You won’t believe how long it took for me to get a link, before finally deciding to cancel the whole idea altogether after downloading component number 20 (cos there was so much more to go).
