Episode 22 – Reversion – ウラガワ (Uragawa) It’s official, Tsukasa is officially one of my favorite heroines from this show. I was wondering why so many people were hyped up for this arc, but now that I’ve seen parts of it, I can easily see why. The chemistry between Junichi and Tsukasa is great, not [...]

Another perspective of Junichi’s broken heart is shown as the episode starts with a flashback of one year ago where because of the previous year event, he couldn’t bear going to the Founders Festival. Luckily Umehara comes by and invites him to his house. At the festival, Ayatsuji stood watching the bonfire with people dancing [...]

The Queen has come to lift us up (by our ties)! With anger and drama until the end! Who could ever doubt? We have faith! The long awaited (and my most anticipated, personally) Tsukasa arc is upon us, and after a fairly average first part of the episode comes DAT ENDING. It seems that the [...]

New year, new school term and Rihoko is determined to find new tea club members. Seems like Junichi and Rihoko’s relationship hasn’t made much progress, but she doesn’t mind and would be fine if it stays this way. She sees Junichi eating alone and decides to join him. They visit the tea club later where [...]

Hibiki wants you to smell her fingers. DON’T DO IT. That’s right! It’s finally time for all the character single to come together. The show is still alive and kicking and I will be finishing the review when time becomes a less valuable resource, so don’t worry, all you Amagami fans! But for now, quench [...]

It's nice to see Ayatsuji Tsukasa-chan's new facial expressions. And it's good to see her REAL personality behind that smile we used to see in the past 20 episodes.

Now that I've had a week to get over leaving poor Rihoko in the lurch, it's time to embark upon another new Amagami SS story arc, with the focus of our attention this time turning towards class rep Tsukasa Ayatsuji, after reminding us once again of Junichi's love-lorn heartbreak from a couple of years previously. Tachibana's opportunity to get closer to Ayatsuji comes from a rather surprising

Uh, before I start I guess I should say something about Rihoko’s arc conclusion…. FOREVER FRIEND-ZONED Okay, now to the real episode… Well… you don’t say, isn’t that pretty obv- HUURRRARRRRRGGGHHHHHHHH!!!! Wait, Ayatsuji-san what are you..! I’M SORRY!!! I DON’T KNOW WHAT I DID BUT I’M SORRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYY!!!! “Even though my body was ready, it wasn’t [...]

Episode 21 – Discovery – ハッケン (Hakken) Woo, and with this episode marks the beginnings of one of the most anticipated arcs for this show, the Ayatsuji Tsukasa arc. Well, at least I was looking forward to this arc (≧∇≦)/ Things are off to a pretty interesting start, although the episode was initially a little [...]

Like Kaoru way back a few months ago, Rihoko was someone who already shared a friendship with Junichi, though, in her case, it went way back to childhood, not just a few years. At points while watching this arc and Kaoru’s, the same thought occurred to me several times: what if Junichi doesn’t “win” this [...]

Hehe… photos of you and me since we were small are pinned up on the corkboard in my room. It’d be nice if I could pin up more and more photos of our memories from now on. And… if, someday, there’d be a photo where you and I are more than just childhood friends… If [...]

Wow, time flies when you're watching a girl eat constantly.  Here we are, already at the end of Rihoko's story arc - but is it going to be a happy ending for this sweet yet food obsessed girl. To be honest, and in keeping with the rest of this arc so far, there's barely a hint of romance in this episode, as it spends most of its time concerned with the future of the school tea club with

Episode 20 marks the end of Rihoko's arc.

There are many things that are going on through my mind right now as I keep asking myself how the arc played out.  There are many things that confuse within the whole arc and there are certainly more things that piss me off.  There are things that throw off the whole idea of Amagami SS [...]

That reminds me, I'm way behind in my kotatsu construction project.

After some delay of the subs for episode 20 due to some sort of raws DORAMA, we have the conclusion to the Rihoko arc. (A note on subs, the TL is accurate for the [GRUNNER] subs, however there are 3 or 4 simple lines that didn’t have subs and 1 or 2 timing mistakes. [UTW] [...]

Episode 20 – Goodbye – サヨナラ (Sayonara) Well, this episode turned out quite unexpectly normal. Knowing how this series always ended with a confession of some sort, and a full blown romance, I had actually expected some sort of ridiculous plot twist that led to Rihoko and Junichi becoming a couple. I’m actually glad that [...]

Summary: While having lunch, Kanae is dissatisfied to learn that Rihoko has made no progress with Junichi but Rihoko stops her from coming up with another scheme, saying that she is fine with things as they are. At the tea club, Ruiko and Manaka have just returned from failing in their attempt to recruit school [...]

Summary: Somehow the 3rd years manage to convince Junichi to join their club and get all into tea, and it doesn’t take long before he’s showing Rihoko the proper way to rub one out.  Junichi’s even got good ideas like adding some mood music to the outdoor ceremonies, so thankfully the tea club will be [...]
