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.
Peace.

I daresay that rather than getting a "kissing fetish" this time, we're getting the entireMasterInstructor/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.

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.

This turned out to be a pretty dull and mushy episode. I guess the best part of this arc was the first two episodes and now it's going to be more akin to the earlier arcs. But with only one episode left, I don't mind. It's not like I didn't enjoy watching this, after all... To see how all that silly training paid off.
Edit: For fairness's sake I have to add that the Hero show was awesome.

This has been the best arc so far, i've found myself not hating Sae's voice quite as much as i predicted
I miss the awkward kisses though, i thought they were gonna be a staple for this show :/
I think fetishes are going to be a staple for this show, and this arc has delivered the most.Originally Posted by Archangel

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.
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. I feel like we know less of her personality than the class chairman's who is the other one I'm looking forward to. Can't say I'd be particularly interested in the dojikko right now, despite her numerous scenes.
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.
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.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.
I'm with you on Rihoko. She's got nothing going for her at the moment.

Theory proven. We got maid outfits, school uniforms, bloomers, swimsuits, maid outfits, wedding gowns and frilly black dresses
It's like an ecchi show in disguise, luring the perverts secretly and quietly
You forgot the tickling fetish too, or so it seem he had a kink for it judging his reactions from Sae's reactions.

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.
Maybe the next episodes will require something from him and the so far smooth ride will turn bumpier. Well, despite the discrepancy between what I expected and what it was, I still find Nanasaki's character interesting and I'm hopeful this arc won't disappoint me.
Amagami isn't airing next week. The next episode airs on October 8th.
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.
Fetish count: swimsuit, pansu, upskirt.

I guess what mislead us with Nanasaki was her stern and cold glares at the guy from early in the show.
I think she was like that because she was angry he was with other girls. Her jealousy had her react that way. I don't know wether it'll be of importance later.

Any word on why Eclipse is taking so long with episode 13? Is it because of the break?
No idea. Kaichou wa Maid-sama has already ended and they are still four episodes behind on that, so there's no telling what's going on.
