Oh please......it's not like anyone MUST watch the show this very week, I mean come on, do you really think the people watching this show are going to face dire consequences if they don't get to watch now? People who are fans of this show also have way better things to do then watch School Days.
More than this episode needing to be aired right this week.
Judging by the Japanese public reaction in the news, there are people who are going to mourn someone they didn't know. It's a natural human reaction.
Show gets delayed, big freaking deal. |

Duuuude, Japan may have a lower crime rate than America and such, but a schoolgirl axe-murdering her dad? We see gun shootings, yes, and knives occasionally, but I've NEVER seen an axe-murdering girl on U.S. news.
Aside from that... maybe I just don't them enough, but... characters killing each other at the end... of a dating sim? Wow. That's one game I gotta get my hands on >_>;;; |

I'm sorry, I just HAVE to ask: Are you capable of constructing your own replies, or is it so hard for you that you take other peoples posts and just change the words around? If the later is true, there are some wonderful reading/writting classed beeing held at your local school, you should really take a look. Then someday, you will be able to write your own sentences, won't that be great?
Sarcasm aside, the only thing I was wondering about is why they are making such a big deal out of THIS case. On the site that first showed the news of the murder, there were like ten more murders fron one-two days ago right under that one. So what makes THIS murder so special as to delay School Days. (Let's see you change THIS post, testorschoice) Last edited by DmonHiro on Wed Sep 19, 2007 2:48 pm; edited 2 times in total |

This murder may not be a 9/11, but it certainly has effect because it's just so (dare I use this word) out there. A schoolgirl murdering her parent is bad enough, but with such a brutal weapon as an axe?! That's extreme, and people paying attention to the media should be shocked. (There's also the fact that SUPPOSEDLY, this kind of incident doesn't happen as much in the land of the rising sun.) To NOT pre-empt School Days would sort of be equivalent to showing a thriller TV episode about school shootings right after the VTech incident. Not as great in magnitude, but you get my point. (And if you think that even that hypothetical show shouldn't be pre-empted, then I really can't say anything else to you.) |

I'm just demonstrating that that your repeated argument that this murder is no big deal can be turned on its ear to say that the show delay is no big deal. Indeed, a show delay is much, much less a big deal.
No need to change--its absurdity speaks for itself. Uh, there were ten more murders in Japan in the last day? Proof please. |

Well.....if this incident was indeed so shocking, although I don't really see why using an axe is worse then using a knife, then it's understandable why they went as far as canceling a show who had similar incidents. Aside from the axe, I REALLY don't see why this incident was so special. But I still think that not airing the episode AT ALL (like they did in Funoffu) would be just taking advantage of the incident to boost DVD sales.
On the bright side, at least I'm convinced SOMEONE will die in School Days. God, I hope it's Makoto, that prick did his best to get the viewers to hate his rotten guts. Beeing horny is one thing, but come on.......how horny can you get? You know what would be "funny" if the episode has NO similarities with the kiling |

Uh, a schoolgirl is the supposed killer. How many murdering schoolgirls do you know in Japan?
"On the bright side"? Being horny is grounds for the death penalty now?

Well......you got a point with that one. And she's not "supposed", she admitted the crime
You haven't seen the series or what? The reason people hate Makoto is not becasue he's horny. It's because how he chose to get layed. By hurting almost every girl in the show. |

Innocent until proven guilty. Confessions can be recanted, which is why newspapers still say "supposed" and "alleged" until the trial ends.
Again, that ain't grounds for death. He deserves fictional retribution, and death would be eerily cathartic for the audience, but not "on the bright side." |

I think you missunderstoon my "on the bright side" comment. It was directed at the episode taken off the air. There were speculations about the ending of School Days anime beeing a happy end. The fact that they took is off the air because it was to bloody proves that is will have a bad end.

It didn't get canceled... It got preempted... In this case, that's a fancy word for "delayed until further notice". Dictionary definition: "To take the place of; displace: A special news program preempted the scheduled shows."
I hope you're the only one laughing.
I don't even need to comment. Last edited by Unholy_Nny on Wed Sep 19, 2007 3:46 pm; edited 1 time in total |

You are not very clear on the whole "sarcasm" thing, are you? Grab a dicktonary, read up on it, and maybe you will figure out why I just wrote "dicktionary" |

Yes, sarcasm.
A total of 6 posts, not counting the "dicktionary" one, and we've got a total of 11 noteworthy typos and grammatical errors. (I'm sure there's more if I looked deeper) Personally not counting the "layed" one, because that's slang. But if you count it that's 12. A rate of almost two per post... Yeah, sarcasm. EDIT: Oh, and I know I'm acting like a grammar nazi a**h*le, but at least I respect the dead more than a cartoon. "Waaah! I have to wait at least a month before the fansubs for this episode comes out! *cries*" |

Oh.....my......God.......I made typos........the horror.......the humanity..........wait......what was your point again? Oh, are you pointing out that I make many typos? Cause if you are, well then bravo Capitan Obvious, you strike again. I never said that I make typos on pourpose. I just said that "writting" and "dictionary" were on pourpose. Also, if you think I even BOTHER to check my spelling and grammar on a forum debate, you are a sad, sad person. I'm actually posting here in between beta-testing a N-Cage game.
Also, when did I say I give two cents on the delay of School Days. My only beef was with the TV stations for not aring it, it could have been anything from anime to music videos. This whole "respecting the dead" is all fine and well, but it should not inconvenience other people. And what the hell, because something bad happened is showing puppy dogs and rainbows on TV gonna do ANYONE any good? Will it make things all better? |
