Are you in the mood for a suspenseful series full of drama based on a love triangle? I recommend giving School Days a try. This series is another one of my favorite classics. It is based on a visual novel that had a totally unexpected and very dark ending. This series premiered in 2007, and when I watched it, I got the impression that it was ahead of its time, especially because of how each of the characters developed. The story is supposed to be Shonen, quite entertaining, where they show you right from the start the typical introverted boy who has strong feelings for the prettiest girl in his class.
Se te antoja ver una serie cargada de suspenso y muchΓsimo drama basado en un triΓ‘ngulo amoroso? te recomiendo darle una oportunidad a School Days. Esta serie para mΓ es otro de mis clΓ‘sicos favoritos. EstΓ‘ basado en una novela visual que resultΓ³ con un desenlace totalmente inesperado y muy oscuro. Esta serie se estrenΓ³ en el 2007 y al verla me diΓ³ la impresiΓ³n de estar adelantada a su Γ©poca, sobre todo por el desarrollo que tuvo cada uno de sus personajes. Se supone que la historia es Shonen, bastante amena donde te muestran de entrada el tΓpico chico introvertido quien tiene sentimientos fuertes por la muchacha mΓ‘s linda de sus salΓ³n.
The series begins innocently enough, but the most curious thing about it is that there are no adults to be seen at any point in the anime. Neither parents nor teachers interact with the main characters, so it's unclear who supervises them. However, the plot grabs you so much at the beginning that you put this detail aside to unravel or delve deeper into how the story will end. Will the boy win the girl? Will everything really turn out okay if he follows the advice his other friend gives him? What you have to keep in mind at this point is that Makoto makes his intentions clear at all times, and his circle of friends doesn't see it coming (his bad intentions) until everything ends badly.
La serie empieza con mucha inocencia pero lo mΓ‘s curioso de todo es que en este animΓ© no notas ningΓΊn adulto en ningΓΊn momento, ni los padres ni los profesores como tal interactΓΊan con estos protagonistas, asΓ que se desconoce quiΓ©n los supervisa como tal. Pero la trama te atrapa tanto al inicio que dejas este detalle de lado para desenmaraΓ±ar o querer indagar mΓ‘s en cΓ³mo podrΓ‘ terminar esta historia. ΒΏEl chico conquistarΓ‘ a la chica? ΒΏrealmente todo irΓ‘ bien si sigue los consejos que le da su otra amiga? Lo que hay que tener en cuenta en este punto es que Makoto deja en claro sus intenciones en todo momento y su cΓrculo de amistad no lo ve venir (esas, sus malas intenciones) hasta que todo acaba mal.
What I liked about this series is the perspective from which the story unfolds. Everything revolves around Makoto, the introverted boy. I don't know if he was innocent from the start, but I got the impression that he was the villain from the moment he formed alliances with the best friend of the girl he likes. From that point on, he becomes an inveterate Latin lover who can't be stopped and wants all the girls in his class, but he keeps up the pretense that he really likes Kotonoha, when it's clear that he doesn't know where to turn and hits on every girl who crosses his path without any scruples. His transformation as the episodes progress is overwhelming, and he goes from being the introverted nerd who arouses curiosity to the most hated character in the series.
Lo que me gustΓ³ de esta serie es que el punto de vista bajo el cual te desarrollan la historia. Todo gira en torno a Makoto, el muchacho introvertido. No sΓ© si desde un inicio fue inocente pero a mi me dio la impresiΓ³n de que es el villano desde el momento que forma alianzas con la mejor amiga de la chica a la que le gusta. Ya a partir de ese punto se convierte en un latin lover empedernido que no lo logra parar nadie y quiere con todas las chicas de su salΓ³n pero manteniendo el engaΓ±o de que quien realmente le gusta es Kotonoha, cuando claramente se nota que no sabe en dΓ³nde caerse muerto y le tira la punta a cuanta niΓ±a se le atraviese por el medio sin ningΓΊn tipo de escrΓΊpulos. Su transformaciΓ³n a medida que avanzan los capΓtulos es abrumadora y deja de ser el chivo introvertido que causa curiosidad al mΓ‘s odiado de la serie.
Here, the one who should have been the protagonist in the foreground and the victim of the whole love triangle, which unfolded as if they were adults rather than children with crushes, is the lovely Kotonoha, so I don't blame her for the actions she took at the end of the anime. Although I admit that she went too far, her behavior at the end was driven to extremes by those she believed to be her friends and her true love. In the end, the story gave me the impression that it became a plot against her, all because she was true to her principles, but Makoto deceives and manipulates her so easily that she succumbs to his lust. Turning Kotonoha into just another name on his long list of girls he's been with.
AcΓ‘, quien debiΓ³ ser la protagonista en primer plano y la vΓctima de todo el triΓ‘ngulo amoroso desarrollado como si fueran adultos en vez de niΓ±os con sus crush es la linda de Kotonoha, asΓ que no la culpo por las acciones que tomΓ³ al final del animΓ©. Aunque admito que se le fue la mano, el comportamiento que tuvo al final fue impulsado al extremo por parte de quienes ella creΓa, eran sus amigas y su gran amor verdadero. La historia al final me dio la impresiΓ³n que se volviΓ³ un complot en contra de ella, todo por ser fiel a sus principios pero Makoto la engaΓ±a y manipula tan fΓ‘cilmente que ella cae rendida ante su lujuria. Convirtiendo a Kotonoha como una mΓ‘s de su larga lista de niΓ±as con las que ha estado.
As for Setsuna and Sekai, they are harpies to me and my second most hated characters in the anime. The game is supposed to have different endings in the graphic novel, which turns out to be more like a game itself. In one of those many endings, Setsuna has her happy ending with Makoto, as does Sekai. But in the anime, the love triangle between them ends badly, very badly, and deservedly so. Sekai deceives her best friend to shamelessly steal her boyfriend, while Setsuna tries to βprotectβ Sekai, whom she also considers her best friend, from this boy Makoto, who is shamelessly using Sekai to satisfy his needs. Both worked alongside Makoto, they didn't let themselves be manipulated, they simply did it because they wanted to, and that's how this story shows a very dark and disturbing side of each of its characters in its anime version.
En cuanto a Setsuna y Sekai, ellas para mΓ son unas arpΓas y mis segundos personajes mΓ‘s odiados del animΓ©. Se supone que el juego tiene diferentes finales en la novela grΓ‘fica que resulta ser mΓ‘s como un juego en sΓ. En uno de esos tantos finales, Setsuna tiene su final feliz con Makoto al igual que Sekai. Pero en el animΓ© tanto enredo amoroso entre ellos termina mal, muy mal y bien merecido por cierto. Sekai engaΓ±a a su mejor amiga para quitarle al novio de manera descarada, mientras que Setsuna intenta "proteger" a Sekai, a quien considera tambiΓ©n su mejor amiga, de este chico Makoto quien estΓ‘ usando descaradamente a Sekai para satisfacer sus necesidades. Ambas trabajaron a la par con Makoto, no se dejaron manipular, simplemente lo hicieron porque quisieron y es asΓ como esta historia muestra un lado muy oscuro y perturbador de cada uno de sus personajes en su versiΓ³n animΓ©.
