Decieving, yet interesting

There is a reason why the Last School Days Episode was pre-empted by a real-life crime in Japan in 2007. This anime is for mature audiences only, especially due to it's sexual content (not nude), almost extreme depiction of womanizing from such a young student, and it's ending. If you're looking for good psychological horror, you won't be disappointed here. I really like the way it starts quite positive, then works its way slowly into a really nasty mix that justifies the ending. Watching School Days felt similar to watching the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni series, where it starts all nice and warm, then almost literally churns your insides later, but only once, compared to the latter. Many of the scenes here can actually happen in real life, thus making it quite interesting to mature audiences. A must see for psychological horror fans.
