I'd say a couple of days at most, though it's not that important anyway.

DragoZERO · 2010-07-16, 14:37

If only we had a short 80's montage in the beginning of this episode.

Nijuu · 2010-07-16, 14:51

I was really *facepalm*through this episode. Seriously, I think Haruka is cute. But this episode she was …nuts, or something.

Geez.
Embarrassing episode.

Spoiler for episode 3:

Now I'm afraid of the next episode.

I expect nothing more than a filler. Sad.

Well next episode IS the end of the arc. I expect seriousness.

I know.
But is there a problem to be solved? I really thought this would be presented in 3rd episode. I can't imagine what to focus on seriously. I just want to conclude if Haruka is really crazy.

I have just watched the third episode of this show. All I can say (or do) is facepalm

I had to keep pausing in order to not choke on my bagle. Especially the licking scene. That was just..

Also, I can't wait for this arc to end. Haruka's so annoying. It just kills me (probably from embarassment) to see Junichi act like that with her.

But I still love this show.

Does this one have a manga, cause i was reading 2 or 3 Amagami series. And agreed, Haruka is kind of annoying.

You may say that you should not expect realism from an anime, but the whole production screams realism. This is not a pink-hair anime. People are drawn mostly realistic, although some characters look like they may have European ancestry. Mostly though, it looks like ordinary Japanese slice of life. No pink or blue hair, no psychic auras, magic, aliens, robots or catgirls, not even the customary fanservice that seem to be everywhere these days. It looked like a welcome respite from the nekomimi and pantsu. And it is. Apart from the small detail that the characters do things you would normally only have done while drunk, and they do it at school.

That said, some of my best friends are "furries". That's how I got my avatar after all. A cute girl drew it for me after some role playing sessions. ^_^ Still, I had not expected the woof and meow in this anime. I find myself imagining the next episode: "Please, Morishima-sempai, if it is OK with you, please please let me sniff your butt."
I am not sure what this guy considers a "good ending", but a normal Christmas date as he originally aimed for seems to be a kind of anticlimax by now.

Agreed.
After having more time to digest the episode, this is where I feel the biggest problem lies.

Two people who barely know each other acting this way is a bit hard to swallow, with a bit more build up this ep might actually have been quite fun but with only 4eps/girl it was always going to be a struggle not to feel rushed.

I think, despite the antics in episode 3, Haruka is still acting in character. It has been established early on that she has an interest in him and is not afraid of physical contact. Also, she does seem to like persistence, with way she responded to the question about being proposed to more than once. Also from the dialog up until this episode, it does seem she likes things to be out of the ordinary and spontaneous.

While it may be slightly rushed due to the limited number of episodes, I can certainly see the episode 3 antics as a natural progression.

Plus I give props to Junichi for picking up on the hints and being persistent. I think given the title of Amagami - Gentle Bite, a little playful kinkiness is part of the show.

Sure you can do that no problem......what I found remarkable with the GIF is that there were way more Junichi expressions.....kind of gave me the impression he is not a bad guy after all compare to in the beginning.

It might have increased anyways if it was eroge...just the rating age would be different.....well I assume it must still be a nice dating sim......right?

Well it being completely out of character for Sawako to do such a thing is a good reason why it never happened.

Before I reply to you just wanted to say that I want to and am using my vast experience with IRL girls

It was realistic and sane? Love is never sane and you can look at porn to a certain extent for that one.

In fact, the fact that she even thought about it and let him do as he pleased just destroyed her "intelligent" image in my mind.

Well I though so too about the intelligent but instead I took it as Haruka wanting to find out more about dogs since her family might not like them and using Junichi as the target besides she wanted to feel the licking part I am sure.....what really angered me was this=>

because the most normal thing is off limits if you know what I mean.

Well she might have fetishes but remember one thing Morishima is constantly trying new things and they can be sexual.....look at all the clubs she tried just to experiences different things.

Yeah they got caught with this part=>

Well I am not flaming but trying to go in the way Mentar is being smart in his arguments.....well I am trying at least.

Well it could have been at least a good change in this matter.

I think what makes her superficial in the eyes of viewers is that she changes from spontaneous and unrestrained to insecure and submissive in the blink of an eye. They're essentially opposites yet she shows both colors. Indicative is that she calls Hibiki for advice while she's been doing the initiative so far. That scene could have been left out to prevent conflict in her character.

Maybe she is actually insecure, it's entirely possible, but then why all the flirting at the start? Is she actively seeking a partner or is she really just ignorant of the consequences? The former makes sense, but the latter is hinted towards, which makes the whole situation bizarre. She's in her final year of high school and she's popular to boot. Seeing her act with a mind of a twelve year-old is a bit hard to swallow.

i wanna PCC on haruka

Honestly, I wasn't gonna watch this at all before I heard about the crazy stuff that went down in episode 3. Regardless of whether it's realistic or not, this had me rolling on the floor after the bland, generic first episode and lukewarm second episode. Episode 3 was epic win, but I really have to wonder if they can come up with something to top all that. (And no, I'm not fishing for spoilers from the game).

*nods* I still think the most epic line from Episode 3 was

'HELP! Nii-nii's gone crazy!'

It dosen't help though that's she letting him spoil her. :P

Let's just be glad that this series can't possibly pull any Everybody's Makoto/School Days endings.

Nijuu Please don't hate me Join Date: Jul 2010 Age: 33	I was really facepalmthrough this episode. Seriously, I think Haruka is cute. But this episode she was …nuts, or something. Geez. Embarrassing episode. Spoiler for episode 3: I don’t think that jealousy was that “canon”. I mean, they almost just met. And she felt like playing with him last episode. Why being so jealous now? OH come on. She wanted to go as far as she could from everyoneelse so He could Kiss...ANYWHERE but the lips? Come on Morishima! And…behind the knees? Give me a break. But when he actually kissed, I liked it. It was funnier. He acting like a puppy was priceless. Then she kinda screwed everything with the dog question. She meant it, IMO. And that’s really far from the “pretend not to know what’s going on around her” that I was so pleased about her. She REALLY is naive like that! OMG! She doesn't pretend not to know. She pretends TO KNOW! She actually is that airheaded. On the other side, I was glad there was no stupid interruption in the shed scene. OMG, WHAT WAS THAT NYAN NYAN thing? Jesus! If she were my girlfriend I’d throw her out the window! And, at last. Why would you roleplay at school? WHY TO GIGGLE LIKE THAT as it was actually fun to do that? Now I'm afraid of the next episode. I expect nothing more than a filler. Sad. __________________
