“School Days” is an anime that due to its peculiar plot has earned the appreciation of the fans, even being considered a cult anime in some sectors of the community; however, for some very particular reason in Japan it is already a tradition for the AMEBA network to hold a Christmas Eve marathon with the episodes of the anime adaptation. For those clueless people who think that the successful visual novel has a theme suitable for these dates in December, we must tell them that they would be more than wrong, romance, a love triangle and a very disturbing ending is something that this anime does not offer.
The tradition continues and “School Days” returns for the eighth consecutive year to Amoeba TV with a great Christmas marathon.
Through a publication on X before Twitter, the streaming platform Amoeba announced the return of its traditional Christmas Eve/Christmas marathon of “School Days” through its free channel called “Amoeba TV“, the shocking and highly appreciated drama that presents the story of Makoto, Sekai and Kotonoha, their romance, the love triangle that develops between them and the tragic ending for the protagonists. This marathon is scheduled to start on December 24 at 18:50 and will end on December 25 at 00:40. In addition, all episodes of the anime will be free for streaming within the platform until December 31.
While it is something very curious for some otaku that in Japan this anime is the protagonist of a Christmas tradition without the main plot having any theme of these dates and festivities, we can say that it could be because in the nation of the rising sun the celebration of Christmas is a special date to share as a couple, unlike the West that is a date where we share with family and friends. This could be the reason why “School Days” is the anime chosen for this special broadcast, because “romance as a couple” is something we find in this anime.
This news has generated a great response from Japanese fans, where through Twitter and Japanese forums they have expressed their joy for the return of this classic “School Days” Christmas marathon. Some have commented that as every year they will not miss this marathon, there are even those who claim to have been there since 2015, when this tradition started and that this year will be no exception. So you can also participate in this great Christmas marathon by entering their free channel, but we must tell you that the transmission will be in its original language and obviously there will be no option of subtitles, as well as the schedules indicated above are for Japan.
Tell us in the comments section what you think about this news from Amoeba TV about this new marathon of “School Days” that with this edition will be 8 years in a row, if you have seen the series also tell us if you find it a little curious as we do that this work is chosen for a Christmas event.
