There's really no girl that fulfills the tsundere archetype. My opinion is that Kaoru has some tsundere traits, but I wouldn't classify her as one.
That makes me realize that none of the girls really fit into an established stereotype. There's no tsun-tsun standoffs or months of awkward shyness prolonging forming a relationship. It's quite refreshing really.

I don't understand this anime at all.. there are several arc with different girls but .... then Juroichi gets together with all of them in different arcs....? and then even marries with the first one...
I am missing the point of this arc... why are all like that...?

It really helps to read a FEW pages of the threads before asking questions... you'll often find the answers without appearing as you've not been paying attention
Amagami is experimenting with the "omnibus" format. A series of parallel reality stories that follows the route ending in each girl -- this is a straightforward adaptation of each route in the software 'game' (visual novel of the choose-the-adventure type) that the series is based on. Most so-called 'harem' anime try to *integrate* the storylines - which often fails or annoys either because the writers weren't skillful enough or they chicken out and no choice is made. This is a safe way out of that minefield particularly in rough economic times when pissing off the hardcore fans can be financial death. Frankly, I'd rather see this format than some of the trainwrecks I've witnessed over the last few years but then it makes it less likely we'll see more of the really *excellent* integrated adaptations that we have gotten occasionally.

Remember Sailor Moon SS had to change to Sailor Moon Super S. I heard they encountered some issue in Europe. In Japan, they still used Sailor Moon SS as the title.
Last time I heard, it was the grading system in Japanese schools. Something like C, B, A, S. S stood for super. SS meant better than S or something like that. |

Absent of anything else, the best I could think of for SS would be "Short Stories" (which would reflect the storytelling style), but I don't know if they've ever actually said what it stood for. In any case, it distinguishes it from the original game so that people know you're referring to the anime, and that was probably the main purpose.

Looks like Miya's arc will no longer air at the end of the series, only Risa's. We'll have to wait until April 2011 for nishishishi.
