Amagami SS

Works for me. *is starting to be able to read Japanese now*

After having watched the first 3 episodes, I must say I quite enjoyed them. I'm amused at how Miya's hair is never neat. And I quite agree with Kaoru's nickname being Sex Hair. I have no idea why her hair produces that effect on me. It is intriguing.

On another note, I'm glad I took the time to read through this post several times before, well, posting it. Lack of sleep make type funny. I had a train of thought, but it's completely gone now. Better stop rambling now.

Haruka's hair is pretty weird too. Straight, then curls at the ends.

Actually, i think Miya is more fitting for the title of "Sex hair", Kaoru's hair is more "Sexy hair".

Eh, Haruka's hair is kinda odd, I suppose, but my hair behaves at least somewhat similarly. Not as long as hers, though. The weight of the hair keeps most of it straight until you get to the ends.

Edit: Sex Hair does work well for Miya, due to how messy (relatively speaking, at least) it always is.

Hullo, I come bearing gifts from a certain imageboard, concerning the game version. We've been comparing the show to it and so far the show follows the best endings possible.

• Guide to the girls and their endings: http://pastebin.com/pQaKkyRu
• Guide to Kaoru's storyline: http://pastebin.com/tQkY6taa

I admit I haven't watched much anime but Kaoru doesn't really seem to be a Tsundere, as you define it, as of episode 5 - simply because she doesn't see herself as a love interest until she has had an epiphany. A crucial aspect of tsundere-ness is the romance angle right? Else why Helga Pataki as an example?

The (mutual) romance aspect doesn't come into play until near the end of the episode. Getting mad and taking swings at the main guy Junichi? Chalk it up to horseplay between friends. Being affectionate, expressing it through physical means? Chalk it up to horseplay between friends again. At this point they are just close friends with chemistry though he is at least physically attracted to her, as his fantasies show, and doesn't show it until he peeks at her Zettai Ryouiki. But he was blushing when he made his roundabout confession, so perhaps his feelings go beyond physical already.

However I am intrigued by the lyrics to her ending theme which may be interpreted as tsundere-ish, because there were no hints of that in the game descriptions we were mulling over even before the show started.

We'll see in the coming episodes if the tsundere tag really fits. Besides "sexhair", we usually call her a "bro", and that fits with the game information.

I like this series, but probably not as much as some other series like High School Ofthe Dead, Sengoku Basara 2, Digimon Xros Wars, Asobi Ni Iku Yo and a few others.

But this is a fine series, too

^^ The same could be said of Fujibayashi Kyou, though.

Anyway, thanks for the pasted stuff; it is relevant to my interests.

6 is out, very nice episode, the first scene is pretty funny too.

And a lot of Fetish Fuel.

I was thinking of picking this series up. What's it about?

^ WAFF-y love story meets BDSM subtext. Really.

But it's not a harem series, each girl gets a 4-5 episode arc and afterwards it plot-resets and starts over, following a different storyline.

Well, the BDSM subtext isn't part of the premise. It just... lends itself to that reading.

^ But it's clearly intetional, re-reading one of the spinoffs because i saw a new chapter and didn't remember much of it, the subtext has a lampshade hung on it.

On that note, Ai Nanasaki, who i think will be the third or fourth story arc, is Exhibitionism to PrincessCurlses Roleplaying and Kaoru's Stomach Kissing.

BDSM subtext.

Now I'm mildly interested.

*calmly sits and waits for her Tsukasa arc*

I'll be watching episode 6 sometime later.

^^ I was pretty much the same way. "Hmmm, generic visual novel adaptation, ho hum... wait, they do what exactly in the third episode?"

I've caught up with this at last, and what do you know, it's really good.

"Criminal scum, you're under arrest!" ...Yeah, the end of Ep 4 might just be the best thing ever. And then there's Kaoru. Likable Tsundere for the win.

"Criminal scum, you're under arrest!"

This sounds familiar....

By the way, what the heck, I don't have much to do in these days (apart from studying...) so I downloaded the episodes that have been aired until now. Stay tuned for my totally unrequested opinion after I watch them!

I look forward to it, as it's definitely one of the better shows this season.

I'm looking forward to Rhioko's arc, as underneath the dieting gimmick she comes across as quite sweet.

Again, Tsukasa ftw, and it's Rihoko.

Now that I've looked at the series page, I have to reconcile with the fact that Junichi's sister doesn't get her own arc. Not because I'm particularly interested in the idea, mind, but because apparently she's gonna be stuck as vaguely clingy-jealous and annoying for the rest of forever. Super.

There's a siscon end in the game.

I was more dissapointed that the Yandere girl isn't getting an arc...

What is she other than being vaguely clingy-jealous and annoying, then?
