History VideoGame / Amagami

''Amagami'' ("Gentle Bite" or "Nibble") is another dating simulation game by Enterbrain for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2. It was released in 2009, following the success of ''{{VideoGame/Kimikiss}}''. Later received an [[UpdatedRerelease updated rerelease]], ''EB Collection Plus Amagami'', for the [=PS2=] and PSP after multiple delays.

** ''Amagami: Various Artists'' is a multi-volume anthology series by various artists. ''{{Hentai}}'' [[BleachedUnderpants artists]]. [[spoiler:Though it barely, rarely reaches {{Ecchi}} levels at worst (or best).]]

** The anime version of this scene makes it even more blatantly a Zecter. Plus, the box it comes packaged in has a logo that resembles [[Series/KamenRiderFaiz Smart Brain]]'s.

* DeathGlare: Ai [[MoodWhiplash whips one out]] when Junichi makes an off-hand comment comparing her breasts with her friends, Miya and Sae. Junichi doesn't notice it, but it sure made some viewers [[BowelBreakingBricks shit bricks]].

** Saes end is even sadder than Harukas, after she collapses from cold, her parents force her to change schools, and its implied that despite still loving Junichi she never sees him again.
** also [[spoiler:Risa BadEnd]] and Ignored End.

* DVDBonusContent: Promises to add extra scenes to each girl's arc, as well as exclusive episodes.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: To get Best End, Junichi must not only have very good relations with girl in question (otherwise he gets Good End), but must not two time (if he does he gets Normal End with girl he dates on Christmas Eve, and bad ending with girl he stands up)

* ThreeAmigos: Junichi, Kaoru and Masayoshi
** Miya, Sae and Ai.

* SenpaiKohai: Haruka is sempai to Junichi, while Sae and Ai are kohai to him and the rest of the girls are his equals.

* HotSpringsEpisode: Episode 13 of SS+.

* {{Gamebooks}}: The AnimatedAdaptation. The order the girls are first seen in the opening credits is the order their 4-episode arcs aired: [[spoiler:(with the exception of Risa who gets one episode)]]

*** For the second season, the order is reversed. Except Sae and Kaoru are switched.

* BareYourMidriff: [[spoiler:Kaoru]] does this willingly at one point.

---> [[LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex "A bionic accelerator?"]]

** The "cute book girl" that appears in episode 14 is a cameo of Touko Amano from ''LightNovel/BookGirl''.

* SempaiKohai: Haruka is sempai to Junichi, while Sae and Ai are kohai to him and the rest of the girls are his equals.

* BuxomIsBetter[=/=]GagBoobs: Sae. Her chest size is constantly remarked upon by the LemonyNarrator; Miya grabs it for good luck; and Junichi has the honor of being the first male to grab them. It's a little wonder that poor ShrinkingViolet Sae hadn't snapped already.

* PantyShot: Junichi thinks he catches a glimpse of Ai's panties when he sees her jump from a swing in the beginning of her arc. It's ultimately subverted when he finds out that Ai, an avid swimmer, has a habit of wearing her swimsuit beneath her school uniform.
** Another instance in episode 5, when Junichi got an upskirt view of Kaoru right after falling to the floor.

* AnimeHair[=/=]YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Averted. The cast has typical hairstyles and colors you see among Japanese teens. Another thing apparent in ''Amagami'' is that most of the girls' hairdo will show some stray tufts and strands, unlike most other AnimeHair which are summarily spotless and impeccable.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Sae's arc adds the narrator, while Rihoko's arc has the narrative follow her instead of Junichi.
** Rihoko's arc goes even further, completely deviating from her original route in the game. To summarize: her arc goes ''beyond'' Christmas (the game doesn't go that far), thus eliminating the "White Christmas" theme, and her two friends getting a lot more attention and screen time. The end result was not well-received by fans.

* DateCrepe: With [[spoiler:Sae, in episode 11.]]
** [[spoiler:And again in episode 12, where Sae takes Junichi to a cafe to eat a ginormous banana cream parfait, based on the rumor that couples who share it will never separate.]]

* [[MySisterIsOffLimits My Nii-nii Is Off Limits]]: Miya becomes really hostile towards Haruka when she starts interacting with Junichi. This doesn't stop Haruka from thinking that Miya is extremely cute.

* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]: Subverted. To some newbies, Tsukasa Ayatsuji seems like the typical helpful ClassRepresentative with her only fault that [[SkilledButNaive she is a bit too nice]]. Once the hero picks up her diary, however, [[spoiler:he finds out that Tsukasa is more than just playing nice]]. By this point it's already too late to turn back [[spoiler:as she has already blackmailed him]].

* TheDitz[=/=]{{CuteClumsyGirl}}: Rihoko is sorta clumsy and forgetful.

* ThemeTuneCameo: In Episode 4, Haruka briefly hums the tune of "Kimi no Hitomi ni Koishiteru", her ED song, while she is in the bathroom.
** In episode 19, Miya and Rihoko hum the tune of "Koi wa Aserazu", Rihoko's ED song.
** Happens again in episode 4 of Plus, when Rihoko hums the tune of "Check My Soul" while she is cooking, the OP song of the series.

* [[spoiler:BabiesEverAfter: Junichi and Sae in one of her endings and Junichi and Tsukasa in one of her endings.]]

* [[spoiler:HappilyMarried: Junichi with Haruka at the end of episode 4, with Tsukasa at the end of Episode 24, and with Sae at the end of Episode 10 in ''SS+ Plus''.]]

* [[spoiler:PrankDate: The entire story begins with one on Junichi.]]

* [[spoiler:StalkerWithACrush[=/=]{{Yandere}}[=/=]ClingyJealousGirl: Risa]]

* ZettaiRyouiki: Present with Sae Nakata's school uniform and Kaoru Tanamachi's waitress uniform at her part-time job.
** And again with Sae's gothic lolita outfit at the theatre.
