<blockquote class="spoiler">
<p> On the day before the airing of the final episode of School Days in Japan, a 16 year old girl killed her father with an axe in Kyoto.

<p>The part with the boat is easily viewable on Youtube and other sites, but I haven't been able to find the full episode.</p>
<p>Is the episode bundled together with any merchandise or available legally online to stream/download?</p>

The full 28-minute version of Nice Boat is apparently [available on Nicovideo](http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1091683) (you'll need to make an account or use a redirector like [nicoviewer](http://nicoviewer.net/sm1091683)). I didn't see the original Nice Boat back when it aired, so I can't say whether it's the real deal, but it certainly looks right to me. The Nice Boat itself makes its first appearance at 04:36.

I would be surprised if Nice Boat were ever included in a home video release of School Days, though. At minimum, it's not included in [the French DVD boxset](http://www.amazon.co.jp/School-%E3%82%B3%E3%83%B3%E3%83%97%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88-DVD-BOX-%EF%BC%88%E5%85%A812%E8%A9%B1-%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB%E3%83%87%E3%82%A4%E3%82%BA/dp/B00890EFVI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1437954057&sr=8-2&keywords=school%20days) or in the [2013 Japanese Blu-ray boxset](http://www.amazon.co.jp/School-Days-Blu-ray-BOX-%E5%B9%B3%E5%B7%9D%E5%A4%A7%E8%BC%94/dp/B00AQBT7FW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1437954057&sr=8-3&keywords=school%20days).
