It’s different now, when every step feels like a mile… With the 12th episode passed, we can safely assume that Sae and that annoying narrator are long gone. And I hear you cries; “But Hato, where was the 11th review?” ‘Aha!’, I state boldly. I shall write them [...]

Summary: Sly-chan tries to break Junichi out of his planaterium funk by inviting him to Tyrolean Cafe.  It’s said if you can finish the gigantic Special Banana Parfait, you will stay together forever… because you will both be too fat to find anyone else to fall in love with you.  Strangely, we never get to [...]

The third parallel story arc, featuring the shy and quiet first year Sae Nakata as the heroine, finished up last week. True to form, the story was not compelling in the slightest, the characters were typical to a fault, and everything came together far too easily. But by twisting the storytelling formula just slightly, AIC [...]

The heroine for the 3rd arc in Amagami SS is none other than Nakata Sae. Cute, small, shy, feel/look like a small animal and a glamorous body are some of the descriptions for our Sae-chan. This post uses screenshots from … Continue reading →

Well, this was perhaps the most enjoyable arc out of the series that tried to differentiate itself from the earlier arcs. It was filled with so much cuteness, moe and perverseness that it could not compare. Ever since the first episode, Sae was an extremely timid girl and she had a hard time communicating to [...]

Kicking off directly after the ending of the last episode… Sae makes a somewhat obvious confession towards Junichi. Not like she probably had much contact with guys previously. Anyways, the newly formed couple decide to gorge on sweets to commemorate their upgraded relationship. Makes more sense than practicing parfait eating to win a Best Couple contest anyways. [...]

At first I was like, “oh she’s wearing short pants”. Then the wind blew and I was like O___________________________O. Don’t you just love windy days? So uh, anyways, picking back after two weeks (damn the holidays and Recettear), Junichi is still confused about Sae’s statement of not wanting to be his younger sister when Morishima [...]

After dusk settled on Sae and Junichi III’s day of frolicking in the land of Cosmos, making the lovers return to their homes, Junichi felt unsteady and sought the guidance of the stars. For much lay ahead of him, and Sae, as the day of festivities drew near. As Junichi attempted to consult the heavens in his closet recreation [...]

Thanks to Nakata, their relationship is going forward. But because of the events two years ago, Junichi is still afraid to fall in love again. Hearing about that if a couple eat a banana parfait together in a certain restaurant they’ll be destined to stay together, Nakata gets Junichi to go there with her. Of [...]

Sae and Junichi compete in the best couple contest at school and it leads to them spending more time together. Impressions: I really loved this arc in general. There was nothing particularly special about it, nothing that kind of dealt with dramatic issues or transitioning from a long term relationship to the next level like Karou, or [...]

After a successful first date last week, the final episode of Sae Nakata's arc sees her really ramp up her plan to ensure that Tachibana falls for her - not that she needs to worry too much, as his biggest problem appears to be actually getting over his fears and saying something.Still, their next date turns out to involve eating some kind of giant parfait which (so legend, aka stuff Miya

Death by Moe! The only way to die-nyan~! The arc was fun, more than expected thanks to the narration which made it that much funnier. Sae was cute but wasn’t really a fan of her voice, Konno Hiromi, couldn’t even watch the full ED sequence. Which is weird considering I love Satomi Arai’s voice, which [...]

Episode 12 – Lover – コイビト (Koibito) With this episode ends the Nakata Sae arc, and unsurprisingly, everything was smooth sailing for the most part. As the final episode for the arc, this week’s installment neatly wraps up Sae’s arc complete… with a random cosplay photo shoot at the end? Not that I really mind [...]

Morishima Haruka After much of the fabled tanuki dallying, I finally completed Haruka's arc (Amagami SS). Well, you know what they say - Love the bishoujo, loathe the show. Okay,  I don't actually hate the arc but lament deeply Haruka senpai's squandered charm in a poorly paced, semi-coherent attempt at a character-centric love story. Fortunately, [...] Related posts:[Stripey] Amagami SS starts – The secret character A Certain Shizuka Itou Index (Generating the Data Set) [Stripey] BakeMono Tribute – 5 favourite anime romances
