And now for near a moon has passed, with ceaseless training and practiced oratory before vending machines. And soon the day of the fated interview to join the ranks of House Crab Gratin would be upon them. Seeing the dire need of his charge, Junichi III drew upon all his powers, revealing himself to be a powerful wielder of [...]

Amagami status: Dropped Despite the length of each girl's route, I had always considered the first two to be relatively unique, but Sae's play out in the most predictable fashion imaginable. Yet, I am unable to dislike Sae herself. As a character, Sae is presented as an embodiment of traits that I am fond of and [...]

After introducing us to Sae Nakata last episode, Amagami SS' tenth instalment scoots us three weeks further on from those goings-on, to a future where a freak accident involving wolves has caused Sae's voicebox to be ripped out, leaving her unable to speak. At least, that's what I was hoping might have happened in that three week period, but sadly not - Sae still has a voice, and it's still

After all the training Nakata’s done, she finally able to converse, with a vending machine… Convinced that she’s doing well, Junichi believes she can talk to the cafeteria ladies. Though she fails to utter a single word, apart from ‘um..’.  Junichi then tells Nakata to think that the cafeteria ladies are vending machines… Surprisingly it [...]

The third arc of Amagami SS has one great thing the previous arcs didn’t, and that is THE VOICE OF GOD narration! The narration makes this arc a hella of a lot funnier than it’s supposed to be. Honestly, I wasn’t looking forward to this arc as Nakata Sae didn’t strike me as someone interesting [...]

Episode 10 – Special Training – トックン (Tokkun) LOL and here I thought Haruka’s fanservice episode was crazy. This one definitely rivals the outrageous-ness of Haruka’s fanservice episode, and outright beats out Kaoru’s belly button kissing episode. I had gone into this episode expecting some fanservice scenes, but I hadn’t expected that a good chunk [...]

Apparently she goes "Nii Ni"... Here’s a oven-fresh excerpt of an update of the current anime scene from fellow bishoujo-comrade, the Ultimate Nanoha Fan in Sg (henceforth known as UNF)… --------------------------------------------------------------- UNF: Hmm this season ehh..  did you like KimiKiss?

“If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ” - William Blake Good evening.  Let’s hit the ground running tonight. I watched the Kaoru arc of Amagami SS about a week ago.  It was not very good.  I was bitterly disappointed.  But here’s the thing: I was [...]

Oh my gosh! Too cute! Nakata Sae, oh my gosh, she’s really really cuuuuuuuuuuuteeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! The third arc of Amagami SS is Sae-chan! The embodiment of cuteness! I mean, the game version of her is really cute. It’s regrettable that Anime version of Sae-chan is very disintegrating, drawing-wise. Darn it! Yeah, I thought my favorite was [...]

Man, I was so close to simply writing an arc only post for this particular arc. With school on the very near horizon and constant back and forth traveling only just completed, I’ve had a hard time wrapping my head around writing this post. But I had to make a decision about this post or [...] Related posts:Amagami SS 7 Amagami SS 6 Amagami SS 8

On my university’s JA (Japanese Animation) Club’s forum, I ran into a conflict about this series with a man I will call “Leek”.  So I said basically Amagami SS sucks compared to what it was supposed to give us.  He quotes “There was nothing fanboy related to Amagami since the real ones were abhorring this [...]

“Statistics show that by listening to Sae’s voice, you have an increased risk of suffering from ear cancer and/or deafness” What a surprise this episode was. First we had  the comedic narrator and the breaking of the fourth wall, both of which remind me a lot of the currently airing Ookami-san. Then we had the [...]

It’s a new arc and a new girl. That means that Junchi is companionless, for now…until she ran into Nakata Sae during the summer of course! She just transferred from another school and is in Miya’s freshman class. She is really cute, except that she is super timid as you see later. Poor Junchi, he [...]

A rather different start as we are introduced to Junichi through a narrator. So the story starts. Junichi’s friend forgets to do his homework and so has to do it at lunch and Junichi agrees to buy him some food at the canteen. As he goes he bumps into Morishima and drops his purse. Nakata [...]

It’s… li…ke…talk…ing…re…a…lly…bad…ly…. SPEAK UP GIRL. Well, I guess I can safely say, I was wrong. I thought Sae would be shy, but not THIS SHY. I think she had two or three lines of dialogue this entire episode (exaggeration), and you could barely hear her at any of [...]

Junichi asks Kaoru out on a date for Christmas Eve. Impressions: Overall Kaoru’s arc was pretty interesting. It wasn’t anything new or exciting that hasn’t been seen in a romance story before, but it was still done very well. It was pretty much the classic story of two friends becoming more, nothing more than that really. I [...]
