This article is about School Days Abridged, also known as School Days TAS, created by VegetaSasuke0 (with partial assistance by Kikyo228). This series is known for being the longest running School Days abridged series, & has gotten the farthest out of any other School Days abridged series or parody.


History[]

This series is not the first School Days abridged series, but it is the longest running of it's type. This series all started because of Kikyo's obsession with School Days, & VegetaSasuke0 enjoying the drama in it all, as well as wanting to make a tragic comedy, along with how he could relate to it, though that is also what destroyed their relationship, along with the original run of the series. VegetaSasuke0 claimed to have put in the most effort for this series, as apposed to any other series he has done, other than his other project "Gantz Sagas", in which he explained that he actually wrote up character designs for this series. On April first of 2011, VegetaSasuke0 announced that the series had been canceled.

After the series was canceled, VegetaSasuke0 slowly started to explain why by saying "I felt pressured to keep releasing episodes, & to me the content started to get more stale, like how many times can you keep calling Sekai a slut or a whore? It just started to repeat itself, kinda like the actual series does". He also felt that not only was he abridging the anime, but the game(s) as well, that explains why the series feels like it is dragging a bit, because he is trying to abridge both by adding in as much content, while taking out just as much, he felt like it was a weird hybrid. VegetaSasuke0 originally wanted this series to have a ghetto tone or feel to it (hence why he made Kokoro a black ghetto stereotype, though making her transgendered was an accident).


In recent years, VegetaSasuke0 had expressed interest in bringing the series back in some form, because he explained that he treated the series as if it were his baby, going out of his way to say that it is the first project that he had done correctly, despite finding some of the jokes in the older episodes to be a bit cringe worthy.

On February 1st, 2016, VegetaSasuke0 returned with a new cast, releasing episode 7 of School Days Abridged, with more episodes on the way. On July 8th, 2016, episode 8 of School Days Abridged was released on The Sagas Council website due to AnimeParodiesInc's Youtube account being suspended for the 2nd time in it's history. He felt that it was the right time to release new episodes, mainly because he felt that he was finally able to expand on the characters, as he had finally grasped how to develop his characters properly by giving the series time to sit, he also felt that he could expand his retelling of the story a bit better. On July 22nd, 2017, an alternate edit of episode 8 of School Days Abridged made its way onto Youtube, the episode contains an alternate edited scene towards the end of the episode containing Makoto & Setsuna. The alternate edit was released to the public in hopes of holding people over long enough for the rest of the series to be released when the time is right, as lines & scripts were still being worked on. VegetaSasuke0 has stated that he hopes the series can end with 10 episodes even, with maybe the Valentines OVA as a special, but nothing has been confirmed. He has also hinted that he is against the idea of abridging the Magical Heart Kokoro OVA because of how insane it would be to voice & edit.

Plot[]

The series is obviously to shorten the original school days, with a lot of the original elements, plus something new. Makoto Itou is just a young, & horny teenager who happens to one day find the love of his life by simply riding the train to school, her name is Kotonoha Katsura. Once he gets settled in at school, he befriends the girl sitting next to him named Sekai Saionji, who eventually ends up setting him up with the girl he likes (Kotonoha). Throughout the series, Makoto will make many mistakes, & will realize that he is in way over his head. As of episode 8, Makoto is known for raping sekai, for cheating on his girlfriend Kotonoha, & taking fruit roll ups, as well as sex as a bribe, but to him things can't just stop there.

Editing[]

School Days The Abridged Series was edited in Sony Vegas (now known as MAGIX Vegas) on a laptop for the first 6 episodes, while voice recordings were recorded with Audacity while using laptop microphones, as well as headset microphones for the first 6 episodes. For Episode 7 onward VegetaSasuke0 used a Blue Yeti microphone to record, while continuing to edit in Vegas, the only difference is that the computer was upgraded from a laptop to a PC Desktop.

Recurring Jokes, Themes, & Character Outlines[]

This series has a lot of recurring themes & jokes. One of the main themes is drama of course, much like the original, but also making Makoto Itou a bit more of an idiot (a dangerous idiot at that, believed to own a gun due to a quote by him saying "For a minute there I thought I had to shoot a b*tch"), another reference in the series is when Makoto calls himself "big sexy" which is an indirect reference to professional wrestler Kevin Nash. Sekai Saionji has a tendency to say things like "OMG, & LOL" (an attempt to originally make her ghetto or more like a valley girl), there is also a tendency to point out Sekai's "slutty" body poses. While Kotonoha Katsura mostly stays the same innocent girl that she was in the original anime, she also has a little more of a ghetto twist to her, the writers tried to avoid focusing on her as the main focus because they didn't want to change her character too much. Kokoro Katsura's redesign was to make her a transgendered rapper, & Taisuke Sawanaga's first name is made so people don't know how to properly pronounce it, while his character is meant to be somewhat of a clown, or just some sad comic relief. Otome Katou is meant to be southern, while her backstory was never clear regardless of the abridged series or the original source material (other than being a middle school classmate to Makoto), it was made so that she had daddy issues, or at least hinting that her father raped her for an odd number of years. Hikari Kuroda is meant to be a preppy Sailor Moon ripoff due to her hairstyle. One of the themes of this series is epic forshadowing. The abridged openings are different each time to keep with the freshness of the abridged series. VegetaSasuke0 has stated that his specific style of writing this kind of series is to use all the elements of the original series & attempt to make it a bit more comedic with little help of memes or references.

Trivia[]

  • Originally the only episode that was typed up was episode 1, while all episodes up until episode 6 were written on paper (which is a common case for VegetaSasuke0), the finalized versions of the episodes 7 & 8 scripts were some of the first to have been a mixture in terms of how they were written.
  • VegetaSasuke0 states that the one thing that he wished he could have done better with was the character of Setsuna, because after a long time of letting his series sit, as well as looking back at the visual novels (mainly Summer Days/Shiny Days), he had really let the character of Setsuna grow on him & it was a shame that there wasn't more done with the character.
