School Days VN and anime

[Dark Paladin X]

A bit of a suggestion. Since no licensor seems to be interested in picking up both the School Days visual novel and anime (aside from School Days anime being currently streamed at Crunchyroll), I was thinking of NIS America picking both the visual novel and the anime up. Not only School Days but also the sequesl Summer Days and Cross Days and package them together as one set.

It's also a good anime and visual novel that NIS America can into for dubbing since the visual novel have a bit of voice acting involved. The anime is only 12 episodes long, so it's a bit easier for a new company in the anime business to work with than a 26 episode series. And I would save it as "Plan B" option if NIS America wants to get into dubbing anime. That is, the sold enough units from the premium edition box sets from the four series they've licensed to dig deeper into anime and dubbing, but not enough to warrant for a dub for each of the series. Of course, School Days is one of the few anime that I personally do not give a damn about if it is dubbed or not.

Spoiler:

For those who haven't heard about School Days, it's a visual novel and anime that have the most fucked up endings where someone gets killed in the most brutal way.

It's doubtful this will happen. NISA has never touched a VN besides infinite (which is AMAZING), they need something more suited to their fanbase probably before they delve into games like that. It would be interesting to see NISA do something as dark as this though.

In my own opinion, I couldn't care less for this, and i've heard from quite a few people, it's really not that good.

Well, even if the didn't touch on the VN, at least they could pick up the anime. At least they aren't dropping plans on dubbing. Even if they didn't sell enough units that would warrant Toradora! or some anime for a dub (but still enough to at least pick up another anime for dubbing), they could at least work on School Days as their first dub.

Maybe.

And Kotonoha Katsura literally rides one with Makoto's decapitated head. Creepy.

I'm completely dumb-founded someone would suggest this. Considering how explicit the content of the game is, this has no chance, no chance of being picked up by NISA. Even the anime has very little chance.

Like I said with Corpse Party, I'd love NISA to do some more Mature stuff. Even within the realm of niche games, there is great variety. No need to stick yourself within a couple of particular types.

Feel Free to lock this because of the fact that J-List is already localizing this in HQ.

Nisa doesnt have to stay with the moe like games or sprite animated srpg's, they can always do a mix up once.
But yeah this is pretty much not gonna happen, i just have a feeling.

Technically, it's not J-List (they're a retailer), but JAST USA. For anyone curious, you can check the game's website here.
