Past Animes Review: Amagami SS / アマガミ

AND I'M BACK!!!

Yes It's me, MedusaS and I am currently typing through my OWN computer. Yes, fortunately for me, my home did not get hit by the hurricane, and I'm free to talk away! (Of course, there is the internet cafe as well...)


The reason why it took so long was because i forgotten most of the plot! T_T Writing a review about stuff u forget is hard...

So yes! Today I'll be reviewing Amagami SS! / アマガミ The playstation game turn hit ANIME last year! And I have to say, they did an awesome job!


The story begins with a tragic incident that has happened to our protagonist, high schooler Tachibana Junichi! He gets dumped on christmas eve when the girl he likes does not appear at the arranged time!

SO WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT? One of the SIX main heroines (because they saved his broken heart XD ) will encounter him! YES, SIX girls from his high school!



TWO years pass with no luck, and the christmas festival is approaching! It would be the best chance for Junichi to start over again, but would it be possible?

WELL OF COURSE HE WOULD. THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS ANIME.

So with the christmas festival approaching, Junichi's different actions with the six girls will have a different outcome, but in the end,
all goes well!

Now I can't really explain the plot. This is because this anime has 6 ARCs. Yes, you viewers will be going through the same setting 6 times. HAHA.

Tachibana Junichi. The all rounder. Generally, he is your usual kind, funny, neat and nice kind of guy.(Lucky b*stard...) His character might differ with different arcs.

Arc 1: Haruka Morishima
OMG WHY DID THEY START WITH THIS. Well, Haruka is your sexy school idol, whom all the boys want to date, but she rejects all of them swiftly. Junichi is also one of them. But one happens if you confess your love again? This will be certainly interesting. The anime kicks off with this standard arc, but don't get too dreamy. I actually didn't like this arc, because in the end, Junichi becomes err... sorta pathetic.

Arc 2: Kaoru Tanamachi
Yes! Best ARC EVAR! Kaoru Tanamachi is your main character's best friend, of whom consoles Junichi after he got dumped. Kaoru and Junichi often have fights & squabbles, but in the end, they have a strong friendship? Or is it too strong? A STRANGE DEVELOPMENT OCCURS! What happens in the end?

Arc 3: Sae Nakata
Oh its full of MOE in this arc as Sae shows off her shyness! Being in all-girls schools most of her life, she meets Junichi. A classmate and close friend of his sister, Miya. She tries to apply for a new job, but her fears just on't help! Can Junichi help her overcome those fears? Ah just have to indicate, there is ECCHI here.

ED Song: Anata Shika Mienai by Hiromi Konno (Yeah the voice is cute, but for singing, err...)

Arc 4: Ai Nanasaki
Oh! It's the cool & calm Ai! Wholly devoted to the swimming team, she bumps into Junichi in a park. Unfortunately, he instantly got labelled as a "pervert". And of course, what happened the day after. However, things take a turn for the worst. Can Junichi help her overcome her troubles?
Oh yeah, and the ending for this arc is SUPER ECCHI. OMG I nearly got a nose bleed! (Ok. I don't think that's normal for a girl...)

ED Song: Koi wa Mizuiro by Yukana (BEST ED Song.)

Arc 5: Rikoho Sakurai
Yes! It's another close friend, but this time, Rikoho isn't like Kaoru, because she and Junichi are childhood friends! Always worrying about her weight, she tries various slimming methods, and Junichi supports her! But, will there be a romantic resolution? Well, I really didn't like this

ED Song: Koi wa Aserazu by Ryōko Shintani

Arc 6: Tsukasa Ayatsuji
Just like the manga, this is the scariest AND awesome arcs of all. Tsukasa Ayatsuji is an event organizer of the school's christmas event! Wearing a cheerful smile almost everywhere she goes, she seems like the perfect girl. OR IS SHE? Fortunately, or unfortunately, Junichi manages to see her OTHER SIDE. What will the manipulative and cunning Ayatsuji do to Junichi! X_X.

ED Song: Nageki no Tenshi by Kaori Nazuka

Oh yes, and not to mention that there is also a 7th arc! But it was slightly less interesting.

Plot-wise, this anime has done an awesome job, though I'm not really experienced with love-sims. If you are one looking for ROMANCE, COMEDY and a sensible anime, this is the one you need to watch! And there is NO HAREM.

And as you noticed, I have written a LONG REVIEW on this. This is because it is my favourite anime!  Comon, which girl doesn't like fantasy love stories?

Amagami SS premiered in Summer 2010 with 25 episodes. I think the premiere date was July 2 to December 23. It also has 6 OVAs and 1 Special. It was fansubbed by Chihiro, UTW, and Eclipse!
It also has several mangas from different artists, but they feature the
same story.


AND AMAGAMI SS WILL BE HAVING ITS SECOND SEASON SOON! WOOHOO!


And the glorious TWPS will be doing her debut after some short messages!
