Blu Ray - School Days

If you want a warm, fuzzy feeling, buy a Clannad Blu-Ray. If you want to understand how a story about teenagers passing notes on a train can devolve into one of the most shocking finales in animation history—complete with a boat, a nice boat—then pick this up. Just don't say you weren't warned.

However, this is not a remake. You are still witnessing the limitations of the original production budget. The infamous "running cycle" animation and the occasional off-model face are now crisply rendered in 1080p. There is a dark poetry in that: School Days in HD is still ugly where it wants to be, but now its failures are luxurious. For the uninitiated, School Days follows Makoto Ito, a vacuous high school student who navigates a love triangle (which quickly becomes a love dodecahedron) with the shy Kotonoha Katsura and the assertive Sekai Saionji. The show famously subverts the harem genre: instead of wish-fulfillment, it delivers psychological realism taken to its most nihilistic extreme. school days blu ray
