Well according to ANN, it appears they are going to do just that. Which is good news to me. Overall I actually like the Omnibus format that Amagami used. Each girl focused on gets a 4 episode arc and their own story.

Know why some don't care for it, but I'm on board for this.

Tamura Yukari is joining the cast, it seems.

Spoiler for ep1:

Generally generic romance anime? Though normal isn't necessarily a bad thing. It was pretty normal, but it wasn't particularly painful. In the first place, nothing really started except the protagonist exaggerating his delusions about the girl playing around and whatever problems he has with the world.
And (anime) girls teasing the guys about sexual stuff isn't too bad either.
Ah, but the quality low here and there. I'm not sure how that will play out, if ever.

For some reason, I liked the OP and ED. Kinda... old? The way the names pop up, still-frames of the girls? Yeah, I kinda liked that.

Oh, and Kimikiss/Amagami designs are so obvious and similar. Fine, but noticeable.

[AB079]

Episode 1 of this new season of Amagami... forgot that this is a new series.

The episode was pretty much the same as Amagami, nothing out of place or different. The girls are nice at least for now but the MC is another story, very unlikeable to be honest.

I will watch this only for the girls.

Ep 01

So the MC's close friend who was tutoring him was ... Nanasaki Ai's (the fourth heroine shown in the Amagami SS anime who was part of the swimming club) younger brother, correct? Did not expect that combination.

Tsunaki seems remarkably normal at first glance I guess, but I wonder why she seems as taken as she is with the MC (other than because the story is like that, I mean ). I enjoyed Amagami SS, though it took a while to grow on me. Well, we will see where things go. Will give the next ep a try at least.

Thus far the storyline seems only okay ... and while the OP is nice, it does not strike me as anything "special". The ED did not do a lot for me either.

[SeaDoor]

It was just ok for me. The MC's whiney-wuss routine got pretty old in the first episode. Hope that annoyance gets toned down quickly.

[Tenzen12]

Not bad first episode. Well, success of that kind of romance depend on it's heroine and this one didn't particularly impressed me (her black haired friend in other hand...).

I will stick a while and see.

[Psyco Diver]

I dunno why I feel like I was dropped into the middle of the season with the first episode, I felt zero character introduction. The animation is really nice for a generic harem at least

Episode 01

Loser MC getting teased by the hot girl for no reason. His friend looks better. The comedy was nice. Lol the guy was staring at the place where Tsuneki was sitting. This is probably the first time I've seen something like this though. Normally there isn't much focus on the place where a girl was just sitting like this. Tsuneki was cute and I think she's the best looking of the lot. Plus she's pretty fun. I'll continue this at least for her. Not sure about the other girls though.

[Stark700]

Hmm, I thought first episode was fine so far. It introduced some of the main girls (granted, I bet each will get their own story/route)

So far, Tsuneki seems to stand out the most with her presence and teases. That ending was priceless though. This definitely also gave me Amagami vibes.

[FlareKnight]

Pretty solid start. Feel like they at least covered why Tsuneki has been interacting with Shouichi to this point. Seems believable enough that she was a bit miffed about his sister beating her out in the Miss Santa Contest. Past that initial point his reactions being amusing enough that she just kept on doing it.

Ai's brother seems like a good guy as well. Seems to be on top of things in his life. Which is good since I won't have to feel bad for him missing out on any romances while the lead goes on his adventure .

Will be nice having the ED switching up depending on the main girl in question.

Decent start. Didn't blow me away, but I'll certainly keep on watching to see how Tsuneki's arc goes.

[IceHism]

Wow ayaneru made all the difference for me. I thought tsuneki was pretty cute but ayaneru just really fits her. MC was a bit shy but nothing too bad. Hopefully he becomes a bit more assertive though. The ending to the ep was great. Can't wait to see what is going to happen next. The other heroines don't seem as interesting but maybe it'll change when we get to their story.
