Genre: Romance

Based on: the PlayStation 2 romance simulation game Amagami by Enterbrain

Plot Summary: A second-year high school boy finds himself uneasy during Christmas time due to an experience in the past. However, this year at Christmas, he gets his last chance to ask out a graduating female senior named Haruka Morishima — or one of several other classmates. The story of the anime will be arranged in an omnibus format, with each heroine getting her own version of the story animated. Each heroine will sing her own version of the ending theme song. -ANN

I was expecting a lot from this series based on solely the fact it has inspired quite a lot of fanart. The trailer also didn't look bad at all. The only thing I did suspicious is the "each heroine getting her own version of the story". That doesn't sound altogether wholesome considering the bigger picture of the anime, even if it of course is the most accurate representation of the game. It might get tiresome to forget the previous arc and go through a reset to the next one. But maybe the game was such that it wouldn't have been possible to make a more traditional anime out of it. Well, if I'm interpreting the idea correctly at all...

Anyway, it seemed like a decent story and standard animation with no problems. Naturally it's all about the characters in a story like this, and they seemed nice enough. Perhaps streamlined quite strongly but that is to be expected especially if the story will get reset after each arch and thus the time is highly limited for each of them.

I'll keep watching this one for the time being, no matter what Bill didn't say.

I doubt Haruka's gonna end up being the girlfriend in the end. Senpai's usually always lose (with the exception of a certain other harem anime that starts with an S). That is, if the whole storyline is actually just one continous storyline.

By the looks of it, according to the episode titles at least they're gonna do an arc for each character. Maybe they'll have alternate endings for each possible girlfriend after each of their respective arcs? Or maybe they're just going the common route of focusing on developing a girl each arc and then just having him choose at the end.

Not sure what I think about Haruka wanting an older reliable man. It kinda just ticked me off for some reason. Maybe it just seemed like a stupid way of rejecting someone. A simple, I don't like you (or yet) would've done better than, "You're not an option, simply because of your age." Kinda just gave me the impression of her either being a gold digger, or a person that just wants to play around all the time and needs someone to pick up her slack. Maybe I'm just putting too much thought into it.

boring

Those are the feelings I got from the trailers, and to an extent this first episode.

Funny thing is, it probably got its timing right or something, as those aspects make it feel refreshing and different. Maybe it's that the last lot of highschool romance anime have been rather upbeat and somewhat "unreal" - not that this is a perfect representation of reality but you know what I mean. adding in something special (sexual predators, for example)

I found the eyes are weird at times - like their position in the socket is off or something. Other times they can look rather pretty.

I'll definitely give Eclipse a go, since I had a bit of trouble with the flow of UTW's subs.

Not sure what I think about Haruka wanting an older reliable man.

She threw "older" and "reliable" together, implying that Juunichi is younger, and therefore unreliable. It's age discrimination. She knows nothing about him other than that "he's nice".

The fact that she was being so friendly with him (while the general consensus makes us believe she's unapproachable) right before the rejection gives the impression that she's playing with him and/or disregards his feelings.

Comparisons, by nature, may contain spoilers

Hatsukoi Limited had different couples pairing up. Amagami SS seems to be about the main character vs various girls (or so the description suggests).

Hatsukoi Limited is more light hearted - Amagami SS is more serious (the main character has relationship problems to begin with).

Hatsukoi Limited has humour. Amagami SS... doesn't.

Hatsukoi Limited feels like an animated story. Amagami SS feels like an animated dating sim.

Hatsukoi Limited features white uniforms. Amagami SS has black ones.

UTW releases a v2.

Episode 01 v2 - UTW (http://tracker.minglong.org/torrents/%5BUTW%5D_Amagami_SS_-_01v2_%5Bh264-720p%5D%5BB561EBCC%5D.mkv.torrent)

I watched Eclipse's episode one and noticed the following differences with UTW(v1):

Nii-Nii (UTW) vs Nii-Ni (Eclipse) - I prefer UTW's version because it keeps the "double sound" effect, even if Eclipse's conveys the sound in a more phonetically accurate way.

Sempai (UTW) vs Senpai (Eclipse) - I prefer Eclipse simply because it's correct. Japanese actually do say sempai a lot because it's easier, but it's the equivalent of writing "I dunno" because that's how people say it. For some reason, the English versions don't invoke such a strong reaction from me though, so I'm a bit hypocritical about it. (UTW used "wanna", after all)

Onii-chan (UTW) vs Junichi (Eclipse) - I prefer UTW because what I read on screen matches what I hear. Similar stuff also happened when "pronouns" are used. (senpai vs "name of senpai" etc)

"You're hated now (paraphrased" (UTW) vs "I'm hated now (paraphrased)" (Eclipse) - I have no idea who's right here.

Paper, siccors, Rock scene - Eclipse gave two different responses for the boys after Kaoru explained the loser's job, and added "Shoot" afterwards, while Junichi didn't say anything.

---
1st meeting with Morishima-senpai:

-Morishima: Have we met before?

-Junichi: No

-Morishima: I see.

UTW: I don't really remember people I've only met once (paraphrased)
Eclipse: I'm pretty good at remembering people I've only met once (paraphrased)

---

Judging from the conversation alone, Eclipse makes more sense.

Also in that scene, UTW refers to Junichi as Mr Big Appetite, while Eclipse takes some liberty to use Mr Piggy (to tie in Morishima's fondness of little animals).

Overall flow: Eclipse feels better (but by how much?). Perhaps it's due to concise sentences, or better use of punctuation - but it reads easier.

I'm not really sure who comes out on top after all this, or if it even matters at all.

There isn't really overly much to say about this episode. But it occurred to me Morishima is quite similar to Suzumiya Haruhi. Both are apparently actively looking for new exciting things without much reservations yet equally quickly get bored of them. Maybe she hasn't dated anybody because she thought it would soon become a drag and it would be harder to get out of it than walking out of a club.

It didn't seem to me like that would be a reason. It actually feels like the opposite, that she'd jump at the idea whenever she felt it would be "fun" to do so, regardless of the consequence.

A simple, I don't like you (or yet) would've done better than, "You're not an option, simply because of your age." Kinda just gave me the impression of her either being a gold digger, or a person that just wants to play around all the time and needs someone to pick up her slack. Maybe I'm just putting too much thought into it.

Yeah, this ep pretty much confirmed it was the latter.

Morishima is a very "princessy" type of girl, without the arrogance and elitist mannerism, but touched up on the "omg, kawaii" and "this looks fun" aspects. Outwardly, she seems really inconsiderate of people's feelings (she didn't even remember the excuse she gave him, and sexually teases him like anything), does things on a spurt (sign of impulsiveness, "in the moment" mentality, and lacking long-term planning), and in general rather childish.

I'm undecided on whether she knows this inwardly.

Morishima actually reminds me of Charlotte Hazelrink from Princess Lover mostly in a bad way. (Her riding Junichi during Episode 1's leapfrog instantly made me think back to Charlotte's own little ride back in P.L Episode 03 (http://randomc.net/image/Princess%20Lover!/Princess%20Lover!%20-%2003%20-%20Large%2012.jpg))

It's funny how despite all these flaws that we can still like her. Guess it sells.

We finally got to hear some lines from the cold-looking Ai, and she doesn't sound too cold at all.

David75

Fri, 07-09-2010, 02:48 PM

Well, she's young.
My reading of her reactions was that she's afraid of a love relationship, she's not ready yet. After all she's probably around 15 since she's a 3rd year. No wonder she can't be considerate of others, understand what they feel when she doesn't even understand herself yet.

Hell, that was painful to watch

There's just no valid reason for liking this girl other that wanting to get in her pants, and yet because Japan ( maybe i'm generalizing here but that's how it felt ) is so prone to confusing lust with love we have to get half asses explanations as "It's fun being with you...".

All she does is pull you around like a dog! Stand up for yourself you spineless wimp!

How this guy can be infatuated to an airhead that uses him as her personal bitch servant is beyond me, especially while actively knowing she's not into him. I'm with the sister on this one, just forget the damn bitch and move on already.

I still see potential here, all the other girls presented so far seem decent enough and fun to watch so i just want this damn arc to be over by the next episode.

LMAO

It's one thing for Morishima to think of Junichi like a puppy, but when even the male lead says "I'm a dog. Let me lick you like a dog"...

Shit just gets hilarious.

As easy as Morishima is to fall for, she's just so damn unstable. She's like those girls who buy a puppy because she thinks they're cute, only to abandon them in a box 3 weeks later.

As long as she keeps thinking of him and being attracted to him like a dog, Junichi is going to be in for a heart break sooner or later. (and I'd say, very soon).

UTW - Episode 04 (http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=download&tid=145833)

---------------------------

To be honest, after learning that Junichi not only reminds Haruka of a dog, but her dog, I was even more sceptical of this relationship. The fact that Junichi was also so damn unsure of their relationship, along with all the distance he's verbally keeping by using "Senpai", it just amounted to a fairly superficial relationship.

But.. that somehow worked out. We'll simply have to take for granted that their bond grew out of a master-dog relationship without really telling us before Haruka jumped the gun and came out with a towel. Thinking back, reminding her of her dog should have actually been the key, as it goes beyond the fluffy outside-level of attraction and actually reminds her of an emotional bond. (I've never had a dog, so the significance wasn't immediately apparent)

"Junichi might not be able to protect Japan, but he'll protect me" - what a bullseye. Hibiki was left speechless.

Anyway, moving on..... Kaoru!!

It was supposed to mean that they actually met each other before, and their feelings were completely random.

It plays on the "Oh, you were this no-name saviour from my past" scenario.

This episode was more fun to watch than all of the previous episodes put together.

And for good reason.

The biggest one is that Junichi's his normal self around Kaoru. The two of them are completely at ease with each other and just say whatever they want. Junichi in particular isn't bound by trying to impress Kaoru, or worrying about whether or not he can win her and act accordingly.

All of this gives a relationship that feels GENUINE.

All the previous bits involved Junichi trying to impress Haruka in such a way that he can't be himself. It's as if she's with him because he does interesting things (like kissing the back of her knees and coming up with hostage-ramen scenarios), not because she loves him. You live with the insecurity that one day you'll fail to impress her, and she'll find someone else more interesting.

It's like trying to meet your monthly sale quota. Simply stressful if it doesn't come naturally. (By the end of it they made it seem natural, but ....)

In real life I could never date someone like Haruka without doubting her or myself every second. Only part of it would be due to my own insecurity, but the good majority of that would be because she's just so shaky.

I took an instant liking to Kaoru during the last arc, and after this episode, exponentially more so.

Kaoru Forever!

Kaoru doesn't seem too interesting. Not that she would need to be as interesting in all the wrong ways as Haruka but I guess I have never been much of a childhood friend route supporter. It seems too smooth and natural with them both knowing each other already and at least one having been gradually growing into the relationship over time - if not having always considered it their destiny (like it happens in most harem shows, where the childhood friend always thinks she has the first claim to the guy and everybody else are intruders).

fireheart

Fri, 07-30-2010, 11:55 AM

I thought Rihoko was the childhood friend then again if Kaorus known him since middle school that kinda counts as well I guess.

I agree with Bill though since they already know each other it's easier to make the connection compared to when he had to pursue Haruka. So hopefully it'll feel more natural if nothing else they at least spend more time and talk together than he did with Haruka at the start.

Anyone else notice that they shuffled Karou and Haruka's place in the last segment of the OP?

The game it's based on was released on PS2, so I guess there's no way to find a translated version on a PC... Too bad.

I have troubles with Kaoru's violence, I like her style/hair, but violence isn't my thing.

Normally I dislike the violence too, but it's offset in Kaoru's case because she's otherwise really friendly/clingy with Junichi. (Just look at that husband/wife/ear-nibble play!)

She doesn't just hit people because she enjoys it, has violent tendencies, or is unable to express her embarrassment/frustration in any other way. She swung at him out of jealousy, and that's okay in my books. As for seeing her panties, that's an exception in most people's books I think.

So this is going to be 4 episodes each for 6 girls right?

I can't wait for the swimmer and class president arcs. I really like this arc too, but I laughed quite a bit in the last one. I hope this one delivers the comedy as well.
The total will be 26 episodes so either we'll have a couple of specials or some girls will have an extra episode

As expected, the series became much more enjoyable once they added a girl who... you know, wasn't a fucking bitch

Nah but seriously, Bill already pretty much said everything i was planning to say with emphasis on how genuine the relationship feels this time around

What I rather enjoy about these arcs is that even though they're focused on various characters, they still build the peripheral ones by throwing in little bits and pieces, so in the end we'll still get lengthy development of each character despite this non-linear showing.

(To take a serious guess, I would put my money on that Ai gets her feet kissed.)

I'm starting to like this childhood friend route better after this episode. Maybe because Kaoru does have, after all, quite an interesting personality once she got to the point of questioning the status of their relationship and what she wanted out of it.

Junichi's so much more cooler in this arc. Their relationship isn't skyrocketing at a million miles an hour, which places focus on the subtle details more. Particularly where Junichi went "how cool did I look?", it shows that he didn't suddenly grow a pair of balls compared to the last arc (though he's pretty close), but that it was deliberately done so Kaoru can get over her troubles.

They also both like to think about each other in the bath.

Particularly where Junichi went "how cool did I look?"

That ending to the scene was pretty funny and somehow believable.

A bit slow episode with half of it taken by Junichi running around looking for Kaoru but all in all it was good stuff.

I was kind of hoping for another 10 year skip like they did with Haruka. Ahh well...let's see what how the next arc goes. But for now..Kaoru is still my nr 1

Buffalobiian

A somewhat mild ending for this arc in my opinion, with little unexpected happening. Not bad as such and maybe fitting for the series. But not overly exciting, although the sleeping in the same bed end was kind of nice in its own way.

I'm not particularly looking forward to the next arc, but maybe it will surprise me.

I think the whole mildness thing comes from the fact that these to really do know each other. The next "Lovers" step from what they already are isn't really that big a step forward for them considering all that's build up already.

While Haruka's was a roller coaster thriller, this one was like the maturing of cheeze. It comes about slowly and naturally.

Predictability was also a big factor here. Junichi and Kaoru share so much understanding and experience that they know what to expect from each other (eg Kaoru's lateness and showing up), just as the episode itself was for the most part predictable. It's not devoid of jokes though, and the bed scene still kept us guessing, but you're not frustratedly confused as to what could happen next like our should-be Ms Santa.

I'm the type of guy who'd gladly rest on the safety of my feet rather than being kept on my toes.

The lack of tension here did make me appreciate Haruka's arc a more though, but at the time the tension was just too much to bear.

(PS: I finally worked out why I didn't like Haruka's relationship(1) as much as I wanted to. She reminded way too much of [SDF Macross reference]Minmay's wishy-washy-ness towards Hikaru[END reference])

(1) Not to be confused with her person.

While Sae's voice sounds just as bloody annoying as the preview indicated, ironically enough I'm liking this arc already more than the previous ones. Somehow this is more down to Earth than the Morishima one, yet still more... intriguing and comedic than Kaoru's, which was all the way to the knees down to Earth. I also appreciate the senpai feeling Junichi gives in this arc, more than the puppy and buddy feelings of the Morishima and Kaoru ones.

If only Sae's VA had been more pleasant sounding... Somebody like Kana Hanazawa (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=53741) (Nadeko, Angel, Kusano, etc). I'm sure many VAs who have the ability to sound young would have also had the ability to sound unsure of themselves.

The narrator does a glamorous job at that.

He's like the male version of Kuroko's Ookami narration. (Completely with character/narrator interaction).

Adding Miya to the fray also works to increase the dynamic interactions. Especially so since Sae doesn't actually speak much yet. I had a good laugh when Miya introduced her as well. I was like "So that's what her name is" after 8 episodes.

While I find it "disloyal" to admit liking other girls' arcs aside from the relationship we personally support, they're doing a wonderful job at keeping each arc fresh.

I really dislike Sae and it has nothing to do with her voice and everything to do with her being weak and timid and lame. I can empathize somewhat with her indecisiveness but her almost complete inability to function beyond basic command following in the presence of others just frustrates me. I imagine the purpose of the arc is for her to grow a spine but her initial showing was so pathetic I don't even want her to succeed now.

Indeed, Mikuru was certainly timid and shy, especially when under pressure (or molestation), but she could stand around in a room with other people without looking like she was afraid for her life all the time. Sae gives me the impression any non zero social pressure is too much for her feeble ego to handle.

So i just caught up to episode 9.

So far this shows just seems...... lacking.

It lacks an interesting main chracter that makes you cares about what actually happens to him. I personally think that's especially important for a series that rely on more drama rather than a lot of slapstick.

It lacks likable female leads that makes you want to root for them to end up with the main char. Granted it's showing all the story, but that just made the first arc felt very rushed and the 2nd arc was "just ok". The fact that it's doing it by story mean we really only focus on one girl every four episodes then they get completely sideline. I guess i'm just not of fan of this method of story telling.

It lacks a good support character to keep the momentum going when the shows start to get slow.

I also really don't like the voice of that 3rd girl, so i think i'll be dropping this and try picking it up later and see if the other heroine are better.

Kraco

Thu, 09-02-2010, 02:26 AM

All of those problems are a result of the rather rare choice to make this a series presenting all (?) the girl routes from the visual novel. You can't get overly much development in 4 episodes and you certainly can't afford to spend time on anything unnecessary. However, they aren't completely sidelined after (or before) those four eps. The main character is more or less reset after every arc, meaning he losts a lot of development as well. There are some supporting characters, though.

But yeah, the format brought a whole truckload of problems for the price of having all the routes. Which is probably why almost all VN anime adaptions stick to only one route.

This is what you get when you try to please everybody. I personally don't mind the 1st 3 episodes of each arc, then it starts rushing towards a very very anticlimactic ending. It has happened twice now, so chances are it is going to be like that for the rest.

I daresay that rather than getting a "kissing fetish" this time, we're getting the entire Master Instructor/Trainee role-play that'll cover the lot (like /strip and toe "massage").

I'm surprised Junichi's integrity has held up so well thus far, while it's actually Sae who actually broke the "friend" barrier first. I guess it comes to reason since Junichi will be the first male to have such successful interactions with her aside from her father (and an overprotective on no less).

Miya's actions are actually pretty supportive of this relationship. You wouldn't change your friend into your brother's favourite swimsuit unless you desired the results.

I'm not sure if it's just the lack of a jacket, or if Junichi actually has shorter hair this time round, but I'm enjoying the younger looking version. It's refreshing.

Kraco

Quite an episode. Junichi is far from the somewhat colourless shape he had in the first two arcs. He's a totally different man, as a matter of fact. I'm definitely enjoying this arc the most so far.

Miya is also quite an interesting character. She's sometimes really harsh on him following the usual slapstick comedy ways but like Bill said, she's actually supporting him at the same time.

It was a cute enough ending for sure, although personally I've to say they should have cut the animal costumes filming part... It was just too goofy after the nicely built atmosphere of the movie theater. But then again, they always had that some time after scene so it couldn't be helped.

Ha, I remember you commenting that this was halfway in terms of "down to earth" relationships between Kaoru's and Haruka's, but this ending made it seem like the most fairy-tale-ish of them all. (in a good way).

Sae making that dress makes perfect sense. There's no way a parent would order a wedding dress for their timid daughter's Best Couple Contest.

Next arc is finally Nanasaki Ai. I'm looking forward to it. Looks like it won't be as smooth a ride as this past one.

Everything's pointing to it being a "breaking the ice" type of arc, so it's nice that they can come up with something refreshing every time to keep the ball rolling.

Hmm... My expectations were off. I somehow thought Nanasaki Ai will be a rougher and tougher opponent than the previous ones. Though I still can't shake the feeling something is off. But superficially at least she's in fact quite aggressive by her own right and Junichi didn't really need to do anything but say yes to get relatively close to her. So far he has been more passive in this arc than in any of the previous ones.

Well everything we've seen up till this episode had portrayed her as being pretty cold, but the newly revealed encounter when Junichi got dumped showed how she's actually pretty upbeat and caring inside (towards her brother, at least). There wasn't a real need to mention her brother when the shopping conversation came up, but she did leave him out.

So far she resembles Haruka the most. They're both into teasing Junichi, though Ai is much more realistic and understandable in this regard. She just enjoys joking with people and seeing them flustered while Haruka's randomness was all over the place. Both of them also see him as "cute" whereas Sae and Kaoru saw him as a more reliable person.

It's great how the past girls continue to be fun. I chuckled at "embarrassing clothes" - it didn't occur to me that Sae made the black dress herself.

Also loved her cream pancake metaphor.

The best episode of the series so far (in my opinion, of course). The Ramen scene in the haunted house, the kiss on the swing set, and the scene where he held Nanasaki while she was crying were all awesome. The Sae arc was my previous favorite, but this one has surpassed it.

Kraco

This was indeed a good episode. The haunted house was especially interesting, even if it's a stretch any amusement park would resort to hallucinogenic drugs to make it better...

Somehow Nanasaki, while she isn't exactly visibly doing anything that extraordinary, is, so far, the most intriguing girl in the selection. Must be partially due to Yukana being an expert of mysterious voicing. I simply can't shake the feeling Nanasaki is hiding something.

Nanasaki is the first girl to kiss the dude before the climax of the arc right?

After the Sae and Nanasaki arcs... they final two need to do something fabulous to top them. I dread the airhead and the boring (so far) class president.

Are Japanese haunted houses really that scary? I have trouble imagining anybody beyond the age of elementary school being affected by them.

Ai has a subtle sweetness about her (largely due to voicing??) that comes through at a level that's not overwhelming. She also isn't as easily defined as the other girls, which keeps her appeal fresh and rather unpredictable. Her hairstyle's resemblance to Ayanami Rei's just tops it all off for me.

Ramen was pretty awesome.

Fetish count: as before + finger sucking.

Fri, 10-15-2010, 01:04 PM

Somehow I feel that Ai is a very rare type of girlfriend for anime.
She's almost normal in every aspect except one: her behavior seems to be one of a more mature woman. I'm talking relations/interactions. I'm pretty sure she isn't that mature for more intimate interactions though.

The way she speaks, the way she gets her love interrest to care about her, how she knows that a young teen male behaves and not being offended by it, the way she cares for him etc... she's almost motherly, and at the same time clearly shows how much of a girlfriend she is/can be.
It's hard generalising, but out of the nice type girlfriend, her behavior would be more like one of a 25-30 woman.
That's just how I feel it. And I like her character type/script a lot.

Ai was pure win to the end.
I can't say I remember having an anime character that arose interrest as much as her, in my eyes. Usually you get so much indecisive and violent/childish girls... Here we have a more down to earth, earnest and very caring girl. I really like how she's portrayed. I'll be sure to remember to play the game in the event a good PS2 emulator comes and the game is then translated.

It's because of the fact that Rihoko has so far been the least appealing of the girls plus the fact that each arc has been more enjoyable than the last in general that I'm really looking forward to it (surprising me).

I was already sure she was lying when she said she had her swimsuit on (she would definitely NOT be wearing a boob-tube style suit), but her pounce still had full impact.

Ai is officially going down in my books as Favourite Female Characters, which currently brings it to 5.

Maybe I'm a bit biaised, but Ai is typically one of the best girlfriend/love of your life type you can get.
Some would consider that it could be boring in the long run, because everything seems too quiet and peaceful.
That would be forgetting the little mischief she had here and there. She seems playful too at times and there are hints her intimate behavior would be both beautiful and hot.

As you read I'm sold, maybe because she ressembles so much, on many aspects, to someone very near, someone I share my life with.
Or maybe I'm only seeing that character with applying that model and forgetting the things that do not fit.

Exactly. It's the same as listing your favourite dish that you'd eat day in day out.

Ai's points stem from her practical appeal developed over four episodes. It's much different compared to the other more high-profile "classics".

I can't say I was surprised (since I was expecting to be surprised), but more like impressed.

Rihoko comes off as much more innocent and airheaded than stupid. (One has to wonder if there is a difference between the two, and if so, where the line is to be drawn). She's also the first girl who Junichi wasn't sexually attracted to by the first episode, which makes this much more of a Junichi-pursuit than a Rihoko one.

Miya laughing like she always does (Ni-hi-hi :D ) was nice touch.

I would have thought she'd be taller. She gives off a "big girl" vibe for me. (as in she's tall and somewhat meaty.. the type that could never ever really be called "slim").

The snowman building scene was funny. Big-boobs lover to the core :D

Interestingly, this arc flew right out of the Founder's Festival arc without a climax. We haven't seen anything after that even from any other girl (outside of the timeskips), so at the very least this will be refreshing.

Rihoko doesn't look like much with her school jumper, but her coat ver and kimono ver (especially the coat ver) are fairly appealing (still not piping hot though).

I haven't yet lost my hope in the class president but Rihoko didn't do much for me in this episode. Unless the last girl fails my expectations, Rihoko will be the most boring of them all, just like I anticipated.

Buffalobiian

Fri, 11-12-2010, 08:33 PM

The only thing I find wrong with Rihoko's arc is that their relationship is making close to zero advancement. The fetish count is also fairly miserable.

From a romance point of view, this arc isn't delivering. But from a slice of life point of view it's pretty enjoyable. For one, because of Rihoko's (lack of) properties, we're getting a whole lot more screentime for more minor characters, and seeing what happens after the "post-Founder's Festival" is a little refreshing (though nothing much actually does happen).

By doing that though, this arc has pretty much lost its focus. The whole point of all the other ones were to climax at Christmas.

I swear Miya's broken her "#Nishishi's per arc" record this time.

It's 26 episodes. It's 24 episodes for the six main girls, a 25th episode for Risa, and a 26th episode for Miya. Mahou lists 25 eps, because Miya's episode won't be aired on tv.

Fri, 11-26-2010, 01:37 PM

Alright! I was correct to retain my faith despite the loud doubters. I don't know how dark this is going to get, I'm certainly not expecting any nice boats, but considering the past arcs have hardly had any darkness at all, it's quite refreshing to see even a hint of such. Of course it could only be a dualistic personality trait, like something as boring as a repressed personality and a good girl public personality, but somehow the meeting with her sister made me think otherwise, that there is something deeper in the background. Time will tell. I'm intrigued, nevertheless, which is good after the blank Rihoko arc.

I don't know if the yan has come, to paraphrase the message just after yours.

They made that flashy ending, but it could be some joke she does to him. She could be playful.

I also did react to her behaviour towards her sister. She might have done so because she didn't want her personal life exposed. To me her sister was very similar to Morishima in her reactions and even voice traits (especially towards the end of her appearance).

Other than that, well quite bland if you ask me. I need glitter, sparks, marshmallow love/romance, etc :p

Kraco

Fri, 11-26-2010, 01:54 PM

It didn't really seem playful in my opinion. It seemed more like she got angry and worried because he read the notebook. For whatever reason, be it its contents or the fact she keeps such a book.

To be frank my first reaction was that her family has some memory disorder hereditary syndrome and she thus need to keep a detailed log to function normally. Maybe it's affecting her sister far more, making her something Tsukasa is embarrassed of. But, yeah, that's an exceedingly early theory after so little revealed.

But in any case, it seemed to me she dropped her facade and got ready to deal with Junichi appropriately.

Edit: Actually I had another theory as well: The Ayatsuji sisters switch roles sometimes and thus need detailed notes to keep each other updated. They did look so similar!

44 seconds into it I knew this chick would be the coolest of them all. She operates like Unohana from Bleach with the command they can't refuse tactic. And she wasn't even phased by the groping. When her real personality kicks in 24/7, which Junichi's gonna make happen, the only competition will be the arc with Kaoru. Direct women are just awesome.

Kraco

Fri, 12-03-2010, 02:01 PM

I liked the episode, even if Tsukasa's character wasn't explained that much. One could always draw the conclusion she's a really angry person, possibly due to the family circumstances, yet has a high goal of succeeding, again possibly partly due to the same family circumstances, and thus keeps up the facade. Though the late evening scene of her entertaining herself with thoughts of Junichi rendered her image a bit more ordinary. One the other hand, none of the arcs so far have been overly extraordinary so it's understandable.

shinta|hikari

Fri, 12-03-2010, 06:33 PM

I'm pretty sure there isn't going to be a (very) dark twist coming. Amagami seems to focus on the ordinary, and maybe that is the reason it was even popular as a game. I'm guessing a lot is lost in the conversion in terms if detail.

I suspected this earlier, but I think there's some role swapping going on between Tsukasa and her sister. The one at the end of ep 23 is probably the sister. The real Tsukasa has too much pride to pull that off.

Kraco

Yeah, I was thinking of the same thing earlier when I mentioned the need for the notebook to keep the other informed of what's going on, to make the whole role swapping thing possible. However, I still consider the theory a bit of a stretch. The fact Tsukasa seems to dislike her sister would make it more unlikely, as well. But who knows. Something's wrong in any case, that much is clear.

At least, it's so much more enjoyable than Rihoko's arc that I wish it didn't happen.

Split personality would make more sense than the switching of sisters.

The last scene in this episode makes me think that it's a result of a self critique after hearing what Tachibana told her the night before, and her reacting the way she did when she obviously has developed strong feelings for him.

I wouldn't say it's split personality, she's more like a really manipulative, highly intelligent girl with a bit too much pride. She would do anything to reach her goals, and that's why she puts up that facade of a nice helpful girl since she understands that a perfect reputation is important in school. But then this guy shows up in her life, and she sees that from now on she won't be alone, and that it is okay to rely on someone else from time to time, which in turn will make her show more of that genuine good side of her that we've only seen rarely when she's with Junichi.

Well that wasn't what I expected at all...

Anti-rapist combo? Not at all.

That 10 years later scene was awesome. They chose the best way to bring it back. I've missed it since Haruka's arc. I'm fine with the things way are now, though it means we'll never find out the significance of that notebook. (Actually, a better way to put it would be that the notebook was never significant at all - she might have just scribbled some badmouthing about a teacher).

I can't pick out whether I like Nanasaki's arc or this one better. Tsukasa's perfect-student vs inner-self flicked my Tohsaka Rin switch. "Best Couple" aside, I do think that this one wrapped up better for two reasons:

1) This arc had a clearer direction. The contents were quite vague, but in terms of character development and pacing it was the most solid of them all in my opinion.

2) The "10 years later" flashbacks just add so much more conclusiveness and sense of fulfilment at the end. The only reason why it didn't work with Haruka was because she's a goddamn timebomb. (albeit a hot one).

edit:

Regarding the notebook, UTW's translation of Tsukasa's monologue released with her ED shines a tiny bit of light on what it might mean. I'm guessing it's correct to say that previously her notebook was the only thing (that had outside contact) which knew about her true self (from all the scribbling she would have wrote in it). That role now is fulfilled by Junichi.

I wasn't able to tune to that arc although it had nice elements here and there.

Kraco

Fri, 12-17-2010, 10:04 AM

I think Nanasaki will remain my favourite as well. It's partially due to my unrealistic expectations from this arc even though this clearly isn't an unrealistic show. Nevertheless, I thought Tsukasa's case would be something extraordinary due to the small hints in the beginning. I'm not saying I'm disappointed in it, but it just didn't end up being so fancy. I'm happy there was the 10 years after scene, though, it saved a lot.

So Risa was a 1 ep arc... well, it does add bits and pieces to the overall story, but does not hold anything worthwhile romance-wise. Butchering it into a single ep probably was a huge mistake, we've experienced that before -Clannad with the Fujibayashi Kyou and Ryou twins comes to mind- .

I guess they'll also have to butcher Miya's story, since she also only has a single ep?

RyougaZell

Fri, 12-24-2010, 02:31 PM

Its not like they butchered Risa's plot. Its more like she was the side-plot from the start. A secret route in the game is you will. If would have been a bit better, though, if they had added bits of her here and there in the past arcs.

And I liked her single episode more than Haruka and Rihoko's arcs.

But hey it was just 1 episode so who gives a shit?

Tsukasa should have grilled her.

Too late for Risa to "work on it" now. Should have done that when Junichi took the milk.

Hey guys I just picked up the first few blueray subs of Amagami. I watched the first 3 episodes and... I like it so far...

[Spoilers depending on your point of view]

Although I am getting this creeeping suspicion that the arcs are going to chop after each heroine's story concludes (like for instance Yosuga no Sora). I saw the topic roughly touched upon near the top of the thread but I was wondering if someone could give me a straight out answer. I'm not really a fan of arc chopping... at all. I'd just like to know if I am walking into a short story series. I love romance series' so I hope I can continue this series.

Thanks!

Each arc starts over from "I was stood up on Xmas eve 2 years ago...".

They don't chop "into" a previous girl's arc, if that's what you're asking. I dropped Yosuga no Sora after the first girl's arc and have only read about how they do things there.

Isn't arc isn't totally isolated though, as later girls benefit from little bits of exposure from previous arcs and earlier girls continue to make appearances later instead of disappearing like they usually do. All in all, I can only call the way they pulled this off "successful".

After this episode was announced to not be aired... I honestly expected something else. Not a completely innocent sibling episode.

Setting that aside... I like how Miya's episode ties up with every other arc, even Risa's. The cat subplot was a bit dull... but I guess it was needed to get Miya to bite him (lol)

I laughed when they previewed the first episode creating a cycle.

Kraco

Sun, 05-01-2011, 02:36 PM

This wasn't an overly exciting episode for sure. I'm actually no fan of incest plots so I wasn't sure what I wanted to expect from this episode, and in that sense I'm happy it didn't have anything of that sort - even if they are closer siblings than I'd view realistic considering they live in a normal household. But then again, this was an extra episode and rarely those offer anything tremendous. The biting scene was quite funny even if a little embarrassing. Miya is a bit weird girl. Maybe growing up with her made Junichi look for a bit out of the ordinary girls.

Buffalobiian

Sun, 05-01-2011, 10:37 PM

Even in an innocent sibling episode they managed to fit in the obligatory fetish. Miya was never much of a romantic interest anyway (for Junichi OR the viewer), so the way this turned out was 100% okay.

Their closeness was emphasised in a couple of ways.. like how Miya simply refused to call Risa Nee-nee.. or like how Junichi didn't instinctively cover up his johnny. Or maybe Junichi's just weird like that.. who knows.

Setting that aside... I like how Miya's episode ties up with every other arc, even Risa's.

I liked the homage.

Morishima's still the biggest tease ever, and Ai's as understanding as ever.. though Risa probably comes close to a tie in that regard.

I've been reading reactions towards this 2nd season around several forums... and one general concensus seems to be that they may be animating the routes anew since the original game actually have about 3 or 4 different endings for each girl. Don't know how to feel about this. At least its just a theory for now.

58 Second Promo (http://www.famitsu.com/news/201112/23007656.html) Scroll down a bit. 30 seconds of it is in the earlier video. :(

Enterbrain's Famitsu website began streaming the newest 58-second promotional video for the Amagami SS+ television anime series on Friday. The video had premiered during a live recording of the Amagami web radio program "Ryoko and Kana's Amagami Coming Sweet" that was also held on Friday in Tokyo. The hosts of the program, Ryoko Shintani (Rihoko Sakurai) and Kana Asumi (Miya), were joined by other cast members and singer Azusa, who sings the themes for both Amagami SS and Amagami SS+. Azusa sang the opening theme song "Check my soul" and the ending theme song "Kokuhaku" (Confession) at the event.

The event also unveiled the "Amagami SS+ Manma Nikuman", a meat bun that will be sold for a limited time only at LAWSON's convenience stores in Tokyo's Kantō area, starting January 10. Famitsu muses if that people were to eat the pork bun — a favorite snack of Amagami protagonist's sister Miya — they might make the "nishishi" laugh like her.

When I saw "1st half" in the episode title, I was afraid that this would be some sort of prequel to the events of the first series. Good thing I'm wrong.

Cliche plot there, sure, but it works since we're not expecting revolutionary writing anyway.

I always forget the thing that makes Amagami SS work isn't the female lead alone, but Junichi's behaviour. He's rather passive as a male lead overall, but not entirely useless or overly naive like many others are.

Junichi getting really carried away during the photo shoot session was the best part of this ep. It's indeed good he has that much man inside him, even if he was again like a real wishful wuss in front of the other girl.

Furthering that, I find that I'm always rooting for Junichi. Maybe it's the effort that he puts in along with his personality that always results me in wanting him to end up with someone - that he deserves a happy ending with someone. (Think of all the other anime where we're droning Why would you choose a guy like that?)

Add that to the format of Amagami SS, and we're not forced into a certain girl's camp and forced to wish fruitless conclusions upon all the other competing girls. The fact that each girl will get their turn means we can wholeheartedly support each relationship every time without a conflict of interest.

I like this.

And that certainly is a loveshack.

Kraco

Fri, 01-13-2012, 05:49 PM

I very much liked how that confrontation turned out. Tsukasa didn't suspect his loyalty for a moment, but instead suspected his ability to remain professional and smart in such situations.

The theatrical innocence in the bathroom scene was also funny.

I might be too jaded to root for Junichi all the time, but it's true he's worlds above the stereotypical harem leads that wouldn't deserve anyone.
