Junichi continues to spend time with Haruka despite his recent rejection. Impressions: This episode did throw me for a bit of a loop as far as how they’ll handle the whole multiple arc thing. It’s one of the most interesting things about the show, as it’s pretty unique. From how I understand it, each girl will get [...]

Despite being biased against anime adapted from dating sims, I actually somewhat liked Amagami SS. There’s none of your typical fan service, nor a clueless male protagonist unintentionally building up a harem. This series has more of a KimiKiss feel to it, both in terms of content and animation style. It’s nice to see each [...]

Junichi wakes up with bags under his eyes as he wasn’t able to sleep last night. When he gets to school he takes everyone’s advice and goes to the infirmary only to find Morishima sleeping there. Apparently she’s not bothered with the rejection yesterday and they continue their relationship as normal friends. Also, Morishima has [...]

Crusader approved! Well this is supposed to be Haruka’s arc, but by that maybe that doesn’t necessarily mean that Junichi will be the other half of the relationship. Haruka stalking Miya, spying on the girls swim team, asking to borrow Miya’s school swimsuit, all the signs are pointing more to a YURI END than the expected [...]

Junichi starts spending time with school idol Haruka, and tries to develop a relationship. Impressions: I was quite impressed with this episode and in what could be further down the road for this show. It seems to be a lot more serious and, well, good than a lot of other shows that deal with romance school setting, [...]

I get a brief respite from exams and this is what I get: Junichi’s creepy pedo face. So aw, it is Morishima’s arc after all. We are constantly told how popular and charming she is, but the anime never shows it. We never really understand everyone’s fascination with her (I actually think she’s kind of [...]

So after last week’s rejection, Junichi falls into a depression. But it doesn’t last long because Morishima is back to tease him some more. Junichi thinks it’ll be mega awkward talking to her, but it turns out she doesn’t really even care that she rejected him. So he’s super happy to just go back to [...]

The lovely OP… Yeah, I know I’m late, but better late than NEVER, right? I DID say I’d blog this show during our first eppy of Waffle Radio. Anywho, I was pretty drawn in by the premise...

Summary: Junichi is bummed out over Haruka’s rejection, but when he runs into her at the infirmary she treats him as if nothing odd happened.  She’s fine with everything going back to the way they used to be (you know when their 1-day old friendship was still strong), but not before letting him know that [...]

Amagami SS - 02 | With one-liners like this you too can pick up the ladies. This show doesn’t disappoint in its uncanny ability to deliver cringe worthy dialogue from our hero male lead scene by scene.

All the shows I look forward start airing early in the week, so I’m scared later when I have to tackle Shukufuku no Campanella and… well, you know what I’m saying.  I was initially only really planning to blog this series since I’m really a faller for romantic-school settings, but that’s not because I’m a [...]

Amagami SS Episode 2 Score: 1.5/5 Reivew: Junichi is feeling depressed after being rejected by Morishima. He could barely sleep, he goes to school looking like a mess, and decides to go take a nap in the nurses office. When he gets there he finds Morishima who acts like nothing at all happened between the two, saying that she's fine with them being just friends if it's okay with him. This renews Junichi's hope that he can eventually get her to like him. Morishima seems to find great pleasure in jerking this poor guy's feelings around, and honestly it's really the only entertaining part of the show. I felt sorry for him after being so thoroughly rejected at the end of the first episode since Morishima had been making it seem like maybe she liked him too the entire time. The problem is even after being rejected like that he still insists on trying to find a way to get her to like him. If he isn't willing to move on when the girl is so clearly screwing with him then I really don't feel any sympathy for the guy, he's just being stupid. Junichi's emotional state goes from depressed about being rejected, then happy that he's still able to talk to Morishima normally, and then depressed when she says she'd turn a guy down again if he confessed to her after being rejected, and finally elated when Morishima gives him permission to have feelings for her at the end of the episode. I'm going to repeat that, this limp-dick moron actually asks her for permission to like her. He isn't likeable in the least and even I'm starting to enjoy watching this fool get his emotions stomped on. It's especially amusing, though a bit creepy, when his sister gets jealous because he gets happy around Morishima and sprays him with water. The only thing making me want to continue watching this series is the hope that Junichi goes through even more emotional torture, since everything else about this show continues to be rather mundane. I took mercy on the slow pacing for the first episode, just because it was the first, but things don't really get any better now. Unless you find the idea of watching a spineless teenage boy get emotionally abused entertaining then there really isn't that much for you in this series it would seem.

Haruka seems to be the master of engrish in this show. Every show needs a master of engrish, because every time an engrish word is spoken it transfers and increases the power of one person; the master of engrish, TK. Now if I suggested to you a show that was twenty-four episodes and had six [...] Related posts:Amagami SS 1 The Tatami Galaxy 9 The Tatami Galaxy 10

After a pretty ordinary first episode, it almost felt as though Amagami SS's Haruka Morishima had already ended - Tachibana meets Morishima, confesses to her, gets rejected by her; end of story.Not so however, as this second episode reveals that Morishima seems to have thought nothing of her rejecting poor old Tachibana as they meet by chance at the school infirmary. Indeed, the conversation

Well, the question still stands, is Haruka aware of what she’s doing or is she just really out of touch with other people? While I personally feel it would be far more interesting if she was being flirtatious and taking advantage of her status as the school idol to have free reign and do as [...]

Episode 02 – Morishima Haruka Chapter Two -　Approach　 森島はるか編 第二章 -　セッキン Wow, talk about surprising. The main character, Junichi, has more competence than I thought he did. He’s still not exactly the ideal main character, but at least he has some guts. After being rejected by Haruka, I expected him to whimper and cry and be depressed [...]

Amagami is the other Summer season anime that I decided to check out. It’s a pretty standard dating simulator to anime conversion, though apparently it hits each girl’s arc, so you can see what the main guy would do in alternate timelines. Either that or he’s just a major player. Junichi starts his day off [...]

What a trite first episode. I could even prodict what was going to be said in certain situations. Typical of a anime based on a dating sim. Although I was pretty surprised by the sudden 告白 (confession) out of no where. It was obvious he was going to get ふられちゃった (dumped). Although, I’m not going [...]
