List of School Days episodes

School Days DVD volume 1.

School Days is an anime television series based on the visual novel of the same name. The series was produced by TNK[1] as a twelve-episode television series and two direct-to-video (OVA) releases. The series premiered on July 3, 2007 on TV Kanagawa and aired its final episode on September 26 on AT-X. Other stations that broadcast the series included Chiba TV, TV Aichi, TV Osaka and TV Saitama.[2]

The series follows the life of Makoto Itou, a first-year high school student who becomes the ambivalent love-interest of several girls during his second term, and the effects it has on himself and his relationships.

On September 17, 2007, on the eve of the series' finale on TV Kanagawa, a 16-year-old girl murdered her father (a 45-year-old police officer) in their Kyoto home with an axe. In response, TV Kanagawa cancelled the Tuesday airing of the finale for its similarly violent subject matter, and most other stations followed suit (with the exception of AT-X, who remained indecisive).[3] AT-X announced the following week that the network had elected to air the finale on September 27 and October 1.[4]

From September 26, 2007 to February 27, 2008, School Days was published into six limited and regular edition DVDs that contained two episodes each.[5][6] The first direct-to-video episode, "Valentine Days" was bundled with limited edition copies of School Days L×H,[7] with the second episode, "Magical Heart Kokoro-chan", following on on March 6, 2008.[8]
