From [KnowYourMeme](http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/nice-boat): (spoilers for
School Days)

> 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. Due to an extremely
> similar scene present in the episode and to avoid relation to the axe
> murder, TV Kanagawa replaced it with a half hour of unrelated scenery with
> “Air on a G String” playing in the background. Among the shock and rage
> expressed among fans, a 4chan user commented “Nice Boat”, referring to the
> Norwegian ferry shown in the replacement footage. Immediately the phrase
> became a meme, however is far more popular in Japan than in English speaking
> countries.

The part with the boat is easily viewable on Youtube and other sites, but I
haven't been able to find the full episode.

Is the episode bundled together with any merchandise or available legally
online to stream/download?

question
meme school-days
Can I watch the full 'Nice Boat' replacement episode anywhere?


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-

or in the [2013 Japanese Blu-ray boxset](http://www.amazon.co.jp/School-Days-
