You could spend your time watching Canaan or the new Spice and Wolf or a thousand other series. Hell, Queen's Blade might arguably be less offensive than School Days.
Wait, the new Spice and Wolf is out? Score.
Things are getting pretty weird and messed up on the School Days front, but I'm probably going to wait another episode before I post another reaction.
The sad thing about School Days is that, while the end result is perhaps a bit overdone, the entire circumstances these teenagers get into is sadly believable, and it's not hard to see it happening in the real world.

Out of sheer curiosity,
Someone checks if someone else is pregnant? Dare I ask, how?

I'll never see school days unless some bizarre situation comes up, but some guy had his american friends unfamiliar with the... uh, genre watch the whole series as he recorded their commentary. It's nsfw.
If for whatever reason you don't want to be spoiled, you can just listen to the audio, it doesn't give anything away.

I've never heard of it happening with teenagers, but the whole (real spoilers here don't read unless you want the ending spoiled)
sawing a pregnant woman open thing does happen from time to time.
WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THIS SCHOOL? Makoto is the biggest jerk as ever, yet everyone is having sex with him. He damn nearly rapes Setsuna, is agressive, is a jerk, and is probably the worst person ever. Kotonoha is freaking me out, something is about to go down there cause she is not right in the head.
The scary thing is, I can see almost of all of this potentially happening at the school I went to, and it is FREAKING ME THE FUCK OUT.

What's with the sudden mass viewing of School Days? Not that I don't approve.
Was talking about shows that only PikaPuff watches and likes (School Days and Strike Witches), someone's like "it can't be all that bad", watches some and is still all "I still don't see what's vomiting blood bad", and is now:
Yeah, someone was talking about Pikapuff, mentioned School Days. I heard about it in the context of "psychological horror" and thought it sounded interesting.
Now...... almost done with 11 and OH MY GODDDDDDDD!
There are no words about how big a train wreck this has been. It started off so innocent, yet now it has descended into a place of madness. The girl is pregnant, Mokoto continues his asshole behavior, and apparantly no girl has learned their fucking lesson because they keep sleeping with this ASSHOLE! I actually cheered when no girl would respond in his phone. I have no idea where this is going to go, but I feel an indescrible urge to continue. I've never seen a show where the term "train wreck" is so apt. It's horrible, but deadly fascinating at the same time.
Once more, for the last time, into the abyss.
Edit- Episode 12 starts about now. Will post live impressions.

It's mostly a deconstruction of the whole harem dynamic. Realistically anyone who got involved in that kind of relationship clusterfuck would have to be sick in the head, going doubly for the protagonist. This just takes that to a logical conclusion.
Well not exactly logical but you know what I mean.
I could say the same to you, you're still watching

just got done with ep. 2, Makoto seems kinda stupid but not as psycho as people are making him out to be. Thetheroo's descent into madness is starting to scare me though...

That's why it's so damaging. It's too real. Sure, the ending is seemingly going off the dramatic deep end, but still, I've heard of real events just about as ridiculous.

I have a feeling I'm going to regret asking that
Well, kinda sorry. It is absolutely worth watching, I suppose. As a lesson.
Oh.
Oh god
Edit- Full reactions to come, I'm only partway through episode 10.
Hahahahahahaha. Yesssssssssssssss.
I mean WHAT THE FUCK?
If for whatever reason you don't want to be spoiled, you can just listen to the audio, it doesn't give anything away.
This is a summary (NSFW)
The best part is the "WHAT...[silence] ...totally serious" reaction.
I've never heard of it happening with teenagers, but the whole (real spoilers here don't read unless you want the ending spoiled)

Also me and Thetheroo are at exactly the same place, and I've decided that this insanity must end now. I'm finishing this show tonight.
Now...... almost done with 11 and OH MY GODDDDDDDD!
He looks like your typical hopeless but loveable romance show main lead.
Most of the time, he acts like one too.
However when he isn't he's a freaking asshole. Maybe even a real life (animated) sociopath.

"Just walk away."
It gets better. Or worse.
