Anime in Focus: School Days episode 8

<-Previous Episode

Hm… pace hasn’t been kept up for the last couple of episodes.

I guess they had to stretch the plot a bit to fill 12 episodes. This episode takes some time to pretend this is a light romance series. I’m not going to fall for it though, too much **** has happened in the last few episodes, so I refuse to believe it’s going to calm down. You can FEEL the bloody tension between the characters, this episode just takes time to show them in their off time.

In this episode, Setsuna decides to pull Itou aside and find out if he’s really after Katsura or Saionji. He says he loves Saionji in the most spineless manner possible, which makes me want to pimpsmack the boy more than usual. Doesn’t help that he’s still listening as Katsura tries her best to please him, rather than dump her already.

Oh yeah, and something about a school festival. It leads to a rather silly scene with some mascots taking on hoards of zombies. It’d be funnier in another series though, since this series doesn’t really put you in the mood for silly antics. Don’t get me wrong, I like that kind of stuff, but it’s about as welcome as a clown in a WWII movie.

Stuff gets a little crazy towards the end, and we find out Setsuna’s going to move to France…

And stuff gets real…ish at the end, but not as real as it usually gets.
