Amagami SS

[Buffalobiian]

Next arc might be less appealing, with Rihoko, but who knows?

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.

Onsen scene FTW

[RyougaZell]

Rihoko hasn't made an impact on the others arcs... at least you knew you wanted to see Kaoru, Sae and Ai since you met them on the other arcs.

But... I'm looking forward to her arc more than the Class President. I just don't look forward to the last arc.

Say whaaaaat? That's like making a list of the world's best wines and ending it with a beer from the Kwik-E-Mart.

[David75]

Well, you know, you end up enjoying the cheap beer more often, so in the end it's not always a bad choice

But I'm a bit biaised here, as everyone knows I like her character, as bland, lacking and unperfect as it is.

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".

Besides Fate-mama, I don't think I can keep up with the others on the list IRL for long.

[Kraco]

Yeah, she was indeed a good girl. Pretty much a completely different arc than I was expecting, but that's only good. Still, so few strange things happened in Ai's arc that this length of four eps was actually sufficient for it.

@Buff - Off topic - You say that now, but I remember you voting otherwise before.

Why is it that the epilogue always seems so rushed? It just comes and goes so quickly. A better transition would make it feel a lot more natural.

That was pre-R2.

Ever since Haruka's arc, I've always wanted to see the 10 Years After scenarios for each girl, but I never got any

[shinta|hikari]

I think a bigger time skip would indeed make a better ending. I think the first epilogue was the best conclusion because of this, though I really like how cute Ai was in the latest one.

[David75]

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.

[shinta|hikari]

You're just bragging, but I don't blame you. Your lucky if even half of your post is true

Ai seemed to have forgotten a lot (if not all) of her mischievous side in the latter episodes of the arc. Even the swimsuit lie in the onsen was not her being mischievous, but shy.

Practicability shouldn't be a factor when deciding your favorite though, not from my opinion anyway

Anyone looking forward to the fatty arc?

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 ) was nice touch.

[David75]

True childhood friend, a bit fat -not that much for that age though, as she's depicted-, quite a gluton.
For the moment, she has no appeal.
Regarding Junichi being attracted to her. Well there was that particular scene where we understand he likes women with a tad more meat...

[shinta|hikari]

When he was stating his impression of the porn mag.

[Kraco]

This episode didn't impress me too much. And it wasn't only due to my negative expectations. Junichi's personality during this arc might be the only good thing about it. He shows some of the proactivity he boasted in the Sae arc.
