I didn't find School Days to be bad. It was unique and a great break down of the Harem norms. Sure it has a character that you just want to jump into the world and punch him right across the face, and all the other characters are just as dumb, but it was intended (I mean why else would they animate the most douche bag route from the VN) and they've done a good job at adapting it. They wanted to create an anime so original that everyone will hate it to guts and become highly infamous, that's what they got, at least they didn't try to be original like a certain anime *COUGH*GLASSLIPS*COUGH*
