And Haruka continues to be a grade-A tease. At least Junichi finally took charge. Ah, but this episode pretty much had everything you could ask for in a simply cute developing relationship. It...

You’ll be asking yourself the same question while watching this episode. Nya optional. THIS. EPISODE. Shockwaves from it have reverberated across the community over just how lulzy this episode is. And debate continues over just how intentional it is. But I think it’s too easy, too much of a cop-out, and belittling of the writing to [...]

I know in my Ookami-san episode 2 post I wrote that I would be posting only every 4 episodes of this series, but I’m sure if you’ve seen episode 3, you can sympathize with me for having some thoughts on it. I just… I’m finding it hard to put into words my reactions to this [...]

After making some pretty substantial progress in turning his relationship with Morishima around last episode, it's perhaps of no surprise to find Tachibana in extremely high spirits as this third instalment begins, with our protagonist having found a new lust for life - It's funny what love can do to a person, isn't it?No, really, it's weird what love can do to a person; at least when that

Jessi[1] received a strong rival today with a post on Amagami (h/t Aroduc at #animeblogger): Amagami SS is a crass, deplorable show that in three episodes proves how creatively bankrupt the writers are to produce a romance with a cast that is devoid of character, personality, empathy and interest. Each scene is a torpid examination [...]

Amagami SS parades hollow, vacuous simpletons around in a grotesque approximation of a romance plot; cretins drawn with all the grace of a gorilla with a crayon shoved up its nose, splattered wholesale into a story that is as if the plot of a romance novel were faxed to the writers but [...]

I still can’t figure out how the producers of this show would be able to manage to make each arc of four episodes actually seem realistic enough for Junichi to get with them.  Of course, I guess it gets easier with each passing arc since Junichi seems to be getting to know every girl slowly [...]

Folks, it is no secret that I respect the elderly. That is why it has never crossed my mind to sexualise senior citizens like Haruka here. Until now. Amagami does not play fair in that it employs the dirtiest tactics in the book to cripple my nutbladder. Even a hardened lolicon cum flat chest fetishist [...]

Every blogger who’s not sick, on hiatus, or a plain hater goes gaga about Amagami SS… even Omo. Although granted, he’s more concerned with TV ratings, but still. Kuro has the screencap of what the guy with a handle of an NCR SCSI chip proclaimed a new fetish. And I am already dying under the [...]

So the ever-helpful kransom pointed out that the ratings for Amagami SS episode 3 peaked during the now-famous, kiss-behind-the-knee scene. The overall rating of the episode was a 3.4%, which is quite high for a late-night segment. The anime-on-TV-rating types can tell you that last week’s noitaminA segment had a 3.4% rating, and that hour-long [...]

Amagami SS Episode 3 Score: 2.5/5 Review: I don't even know what I can say about this show at this point. The first episode was kind of boring, the second episode was just pathetic, and then we have this one. This episode is... just weird. Junichi wants to kiss Morishima, but being the tease that she is, he isn't allowed to kiss her on the lips. He also has to take her someplace where they won't be seen, which leads to Junichi Solid Snaking his way to a shed in the woods. And this is where it gets weird. Really weird. It's all up there in the picture. I really can't say anything else about it. I don't even think I have to. This episode alone is worth watching just for the sheer WTF factor. But anyway, it does actually manage to have a somewhat touching moment when we learn that Morishima has a reason for acting the way she does. It's a silly reason, typical of a high school girl, but it's better than it seeming like she just enjoys messing around with this guy. Amagami SS actually manages to be a passable, albeit really strange, romance story in this episode. I'm probably at least going to check out the next episode, since it apparently ends the Morishima story arc. After this one it seems like it might actually manage to be a decent romance story like I was hoping it would from the beginning.

More over armpits there’s a new fetish in town! LOL Wow, I seriously did not expect Tachibana to choose behind the knees to kiss. Seeing him on all four previous episode’s preview, I thought he would go for the butt. This though was the perfect choice since Morishima must be entertained/surprised AT ALL TIMES! Seriously, [...]

Hibiki-chan is a man’s best friend. The ultimate wing-woman; an ally to the end! Okay, well maybe not that last one, but that chick is awesome. It’s too bad that Hibiki isn’t one of the heroines to be captured, as I’m sure that she has some secret along the lines of being a ninja. There [...] Related posts:Amagami SS 2 Amagami SS 1 Durarara!! Episode 09

Possibly not the best choice of words. Well, I must say I’m surprised. After the last episode, I expected the jealous party to be Miya. I figured Miya would get extremely jealous and try to sabotage their relationship, but Miya was hardly even present. As for the characters that were present, Haruka continues to be [...]

Summary: Junichi is hyped after falling in love, and now Haruka is acting rather shy.  Although Haruka denies Junichi another kiss on the eyebrows, she offers to let him kiss her if he can find a place to kiss her where they will not run into anyone on the way.  Junichi skillfully guides Haruka to [...]

Episode 03 – Morishima Haruka Chapter 3: Jealousy – 森島はるか編 第三章ヤキモチ (Morishima Haruka-hen dai sanshou – Yakimochi) Simple summary of my reaction: I couldn’t keep a straight face AT ALL while watching this episode. Maybe it was just me, but a bunch of the scenes this episode were both weird, yet for some reason funny [...]

It is terribly even worse than vulture’s puke and hyena’s rotten feces. It’s too much! The title is named Morishima Haruka Chapter, and I think they will spend few episodes for one [...]

I lied about not trying out any of the Summer 2010 Anime. I decided to check out Amagami SS since everyone in the blogosphere was talking about it and there isn’t many things I can do in Wisconsin. From looking at it, Amagami SS was a pretty enjoyable show from the two episodes I watched [...]
