Much like this arc. All good things must come to an end, and fortunately, so must all bad things. There was a marked improvement in consistency in recent events compared to prior episodes, but even so such a mild counterattack was far from sufficient to turn the tide for this arc. The school festival was [...]

Whatever the Amagami writers are on lately is a hell of a drug. With the arc now 3/4 of the way to completion, things took a turn for the surreal this week as some sort of hallucinogenic agent appears to have been released at a local amusement park. Authorities remain tight-lipped about whether this was [...]

Recent events between schoolmates have produced a clear, but yet seemingly unlikely dynamic between J4 and Ai, with additionally unusual actions by both Tsukasa and Takahashi-sensei. Despite using all available information and applying both analytic techniques and the lessons of romance anime history, improbable events such as these still sometimes manage to occur. Currently the [...]

With the start of a new Amagami arc and in light of recent developments, THAT’s Amagami Monitoring Group has prepared this rundown of recent events in that Ai arc. Now that a new arc has begun, the situation has changed rapidly and much is yet undecided. Indeed episode 13 has introduced a plethora of new [...]

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.

Now when they came to the day before the trial and Junichi II sat with his loyal retainer Ume under the midday light of Helios and pondered Sae’s declaration from the night past. With Haruka to speak in the bizarre manner of an Oracle in words strange and confusing to the mortal ear.

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 [...]

Hark! Children of the dating sim and followers of the adaptation, to a story of the great trials and songworthy deeds. To the legend of Sae the Meek and Junichi, third of his line, so that you may remember their saga and heed the wisdom of their lessons.

This week the Kaoru arc reaches its conclusion, to mixed results. Kaoru was certainly a fun female protagonist for this arc, but it somehow didn’t come together with the style and pacing of the more unconventional Haruka arc. Much of it was very sweet, and true to the characters, but somehow it didn’t seem to [...]

When Kaoru said she was in The Hustler, she wasn’t talking about the magazine … Hello, I’m your friendly neighborhood Shinmaru here from UNMEI KAIHEN! ExecutiveOtaku is away on a short vacation this weekend, so he kindly asked me to pinch hit for him with this week’s Amagami SS. Only too happy to help out [...]
