That was... pretty bland, I had to say. There were a few moments here and there (the main ones for me was Junichi's futon-attack and Ai's joke in the PV), but I had some trouble sinking into this otherwise.
That jacket... wasn't that the one that Ayatsuji was wearing in the 10-years-after snippet from last season? It's a bit odd that Junichi's studying his butt off to get into university when we don't even know that Ai is smart.
Ayatsuji > Cram School.

And I have to agree. Granted, I was realistically speaking expecting too much from this simply because it has Nanasaki. Still, even objectively, it seems dubious to spend half of the arc with as little action as this ep had. Maybe they intended to make the ep like this to reflect the suffering of Junichi and Ai, being kept apart. The next ep needs to rock like never before!
I found it to be a nice episode, with appropriate scenes to describe what would be nice everyday skinship in a young couple.
It isn't very flashy/showy, but incredibly nice
Also, I liked how Ai's stress not being able to spend Xmas with her loved one to be well portrayed.
The SS+ arcs really dwelve into the established relationship, which is a bit unusual with most anime.
The feeling is very different, and it seems that the bounds are increasing with each arc.
I'm a very tactile guy, love skinship and body contacts (even if not directly sexual), so I was very pleased with the futon and lullaby scenes for example.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
The lullaby scene.. lol,.. I had a hard time seeing that as "sleeping on your stomach". xD

Yeah, we all figured the "we'd like you to think about oral sex" ideaOriginally Posted by Buffalobiian
Somehow youngsters need to better learn their classics

Sleeping on the crotch is pretty weird. If you move a lot, it can get... sticky.
Hizamakura is the only way to go.
Peace.
Normally when you say "sleeping on your stomach", particularly referencing to how children/babies do it.. you think of this:
Or perhaps with the "top" person on the side, using you like some sort of log.
Wonder if it was Junichi or Ai that somehow came up with this position..
From what I know, swimwear "itches" more too.

Umehara hitting on the teacher was... priceless.
I really don't see the point of moving out to an apartment if Ai is still within travelling distance of his house to wake him up every morning besides some private time without Miya (and vice versa).
It's just Miya and Junichi at home anyway.

Junichi offers a Key to his apartment. The message is strong enough. The "you can wake me up" part is there for "transition purposes" or not to scare Ai too much. Also some kind of societal reflex so that it's not too strong/obvious what the objective is.
Now the last scenes really tells it all. Ai really is there probably in the summer as fireworks could indicate hanabi period.
We all know that Ai is willing too. That's what I like about her. From the start she's always been portrayed as a girl that is nice that will not eat your mind and seems to understand -or at least be tolerant- to young male ways.
I always felt she's the more balanced of the pack if you consider a long term relationship with "futon fun"
Maybe she lacks a little fantasy, eventhough in the first arc she did play some trick.

I felt like that was the only really good scene of this whole arc. Otherwise it was dull and concentrated almost solely on those two wanting to be together but how life oft dictates separations of variable lenghts. Very dull, that is. I'd have much more wanted to see them do stuff together.
The cram school Junichi attended was pretty weird - or a sham. Basically he (or rather his invisible parents) pay large amounts of money for Junichi to go there, yet the school's still insolent enough to group him together with sheer academic failures because of a technical error, thus voiding his Christmas and last school festival. Maybe they charged extra for the camp and thus it was all business for them - and as a typical Japanese Junichi couldn't tell them to shut up.
Isn't that only because you didn't move out, yourself? Har har. I can certainly see him wanting to move out if he has got the means.
If I had the means (and was comfortable with it.. as well as it offering a good enough incentive on top such as travel), I would. It all depends on who I'm living with, you see.
Now with Junichi - I assumed he lived just with Miya. They get along fine, just like my brother and I. If that were the case, I see no reason to move out - financial incentives or otherwise.
As for David's statement.. well yeah, some regular "futon attacks" seem to be the only real reason. Miya really cool with them going out.. so maybe it's Junichi's a bit embarrassed by the whole thing.. :S
I share some of Kraco's boredom, but I also appreciate it a lot for the reasons David stated. All in all, "it can't be helped" since Ai is long-term material. The PV featuring Kaoru on the other hand looks really fun.. a and Junichi's burnt out after one episode xD.
By far the weirdest thing for me about the cram school (and perhaps the only weird thing, really) is now they abducted him and then searched for him like some Secret Service.. or mob.
And as for my previous comment about why Junichi has to study his ass off.. I think Ai mentioned in S1 that she's on a scholarship or something.

Amagami SS+ Series Also Gets Miya Tachibana Video AnimeThe official website for the Amagami SS+ romance anime series announced on Tuesday that the anime's seventh Blu-ray Disc/DVD volume will contain an episode arc for the Miya Tachibana character from Enterbrain's original Amagami game. The episode will be titled "Onsen," and the Blu-ray Disc/DVD volume will ship on October 3.
The story is set on a Sunday as Christmas draws near and the male lead Jun'ichi has not made any moves on a girl. Jun'ichi's sister Miya goes to a hot spring that just opened with her classmates Sae and Ai. However, the other Amagami heroines — Tsukasa, Rihoko, Kaoru, and Haruka — also appear there. Without Jun'ichi, the girls talk among themselves at the hot spring.
The volume will come with a "Sweet Standee Kisekae+" card cut-out of Miya as well as stickers for interchangeable accessories on the cut-out.
The first Amagami SS television anime series also inspired a Miya episode arc.

Where there is Miya, there are meatbuns. Or is it the other way around?
