Canned Dogs reports that the final episode of adventure game-turned-anime School Days was yanked off of TV Kanagawa at the last second and replaced with 30 minutes of photos. The blog suggests that the cancellation may be because of a recent incident in which a girl killed her father with an axe.
For those unaware, the School Days video game offers a number of “good endings” and “bad endings,” and the bad endings are pretty violent– generally involving the death of at least one main character; in one ending a spurned heroine slaughters the ‘winning’ heroine by taking a saw to her neck. Yipe.
