![]() But if it is, it’s also damned effective, and I love the show for it. School-Live! outright lies to its audience, to draw them in and deliver the horrible, devastating, fuck-mothering bombshell of a plot twist in the final minute-plus of its first episode. Madoka at least had the courtesy to hint strongly from the start that things were way more ominous than they first appeared to be. Everything from the show’s character design, to its marketing, to the timeslot, to its opening theme is part of the deception… think of what suckered you into watching Madoka Magica, and amplify that by a factor of about a dozen. It’s completely deceitful about its true nature, in fact. If you’re still with me, I’m taking that as a tacit acknowledgement that you’ve seen School-Live!/Gakkou Gurashi and know what it’s really about…īecause this show is NOT what it looks like at first. Okay, let’s address the elephant in the room first: if any of you reading this care the slightest bit about spoilers, stop reading right now.
