Not much to say. We all know he was still "excited" from Tsuneki's teasing though.

That said, this episode actually left me more interested in sensei's relation with Tsuneki's friend.

[blakstealth]

I thought I was gonna hate MC's guts, but he's tolerable AT TIMES. I like his relationship with his sister, and he seems like a good guy with Ikuo. And I dig Tsuneki. She's a cool girl.

You talking about Mako? I like her, too.

[Dextro]

Yeah, I'll join the chorus of people bashing the Main Character, he just has nothing going for him. There doesn't seem to be any interesting backstory to him (so far) and all he's done is being a bit creep with some weird fetishes in his mind. Not really much to make me relate to what's very close to a walking piece of cardboard.

Tsuneki on the other hand has grown to be interesting. She seems like that popular, hyper girl who guys just can't help but fantasize about but would make an unbearable girlfriend for exactly the same reasons. Not really my favourite kind of characters but they're interesting to watch.

Boring protagonist makes everything girls around him more interesting

[Arya]

^ To me it's the exact opposite. An insignificant protagonist makes hard to understand why a girl would be attracted by him, so despite the current girl is not that bad, the fact that she seems to find some attractiveness in him detracts a lot of points from her too.

If I may understand the cheap logic behind the need for a dumb or a wimp, or whatever character is needed, in harem shows (one among others to enable the story to last) this is not the case. I mean, there are not many girls falling simultaneously for the MC, nor they have to fill a 12 episodes story. That would be the perfect ground to develop two rounded characters that could elicit some good dynamics. Or well, in this case just some dynamics would be enough.
But no. They decided otherwise.

I don't care about any of them, and there is only one episode left... I don't know, I'll see how it concludes and then decide if I continue with the next girl

The only time I see a person eat or drink another person's left over are family members. It can be wife drink her husband's water, or parent eats his child's food. The act may imply that she thinks him more than just a friend.

I am looking forward to the next episode, since designer's Twitter mentions about Kimikiss and Amagami. I'll continue to watch the other episodes.

There is one thing that I have to say about this last episode of the current arc.. it was shit. After all these 3 episode of development all ended on "let's pause this until I came back". Literally there is a gap of at least 2 years where they didn't saw each other and the entire arc was wrap at the end with the scene where they meet each other again.

I seriously hope the next arc provide something better.

[DragoonKain3]

Umm.... LOL? Nothing really came big came out of Yukie betraying Hikari, Hikari didn't even get mad (guess being childhood friends means a lot of leeway for forgiveness :shrug: ), Hikari and MC have feelings for each other but don't even date for the year they have together, and finally they only reunite after five years in the same restaurant she used to work at? I dunno guys, that was really contrived. XD

Only saving grace really is Ayaneru, and so I think I gonna skip the next 4 episodes. I'll see you guys again when it's Kyouko's turn.

[n0m@n]

So they kissed. But Tsuneki decided to not have a relationship because she wanted to prioritize her dream. Then they reunite (by a coincidence?) 5 years later?

Yup, this is the worst shit. I mean they didn't become a couple after all. The only funny thing was the Yukie. Probably one of the worst friend you could have. So it was hilarious that her relation only lasted for a short time.


Perhaps the script writer wanted to do something similar to ManakaXNishino from Ichigo100%. But this garbage is nowhere near that romance.

Ep 04

I ... really am torn in a way.

I can understand why Tsuneki decided to go the route she did, I suppose, and that's fine and all as far as that goes. But I can't help but think she really did treat Kamita quite poorly pretty consistently, when it boils down to it, and I think this was really my problem with this arc from the get go.

Kamita may be rather boring and not have a lot to him or the like, but I can't help but feel he deserves better. Mind you, I would have been fine with the separating for her to go follow her dream of whatever in and of itself ... if only she had treated him decently for a change.

Ironically my favorite part of the episode was when Kamita confronted her over the clothes and finally stood up to her. That's ... not a very good sign over all in terms of the portrayal of their relationship in my book.

Ah well - hopefully other viewers enjoyed this one much more than I did. :\

[IceHism]

I was afraid that it was gonna have an unsatisfying ending and i was right. I certainly do not watch an amagami-styled show for endings like this. sigh. They didn't even have 1 real date. Definitely not as good as Haruka's arc. or even Tsukasa's. I don't know if i'll stick around for the next girl so maybe i'll just get back to it when it is osananajimi's turn. And nice, drama gets solved with a talk. I barely see that tbh. Also lol at Araki preferring to live with a rabbit than with any other human partner. I thought the furry thing was kind of a joke.

The scene on the beach was really really cute though. Especially that kiss in the ocean. kyaa

[Stark700]

I got really mixed thoughts after this arc/episode. Tsuneki is a pretty fun character and I think the show fleshed out her personality pretty well in general. I had mixed bags about her character chemistry with Kamita from start to finish. It was silly mostly because of Kamita's constant delusions about her. Tsuneki's flirty personality towards him was amusingly to watch at several points though.

I think the arc mainly was one big tease of a relationship that didn't really come to fruition in the end. Idk, I just thought their relationship would of progressed after that beach segment, although I have to admit, the underwater kiss was quite something.

[Hakai]

This was alright, could have been much better IMO because Tsuneki-san really is a pretty good heroine/character.

I'll still be watching this but my expectations for the next arcs got much lower.

I'm not sure about this. Maybe next arc with his senpai will be more interesting than Tsuneki arc.
And I hope that in episode 8 we wouldn't see a remark: 5 years later.

[MeoTwister5]

Good lord not even Rihoko got shafted this bad in season 1.

Here's hoping the other 3 girls get handled better.

[npal]

Ep 4... What did I just watch...?

[Sakuratsuki]

I looked forward to this especially because of being someone who watched the Amagami series. I had high expectations but then episode 4 happened....... I was just like, ''What did I just watch''. Not really a way to promote the game if you ask me.

[Dextro]

Boy talk about a catastrophic ending to an arc. I know Amagami had a couple of weak arcs but none of the them crashed and burned in quite the same way this one did. Damn!

This arc had been weak from the start: Tsuneki started out mistreating our walking piece of cardboard MC and ended in basically the same place, along the way they hinted at her growing but quickly reverted all that as soon as possible and then they just added some cheap drama that never really felt used in any way, shape or form just to have it "resolved" in an impressively anti-climatic way... Ok, I understand that she didn't get mad because she had, quite probably, already moved on from Araki to our doormat MC but the show made absolute no attempt to sell that particular development.

Honestly, I can't even work up the effort to try and distill further what went wrong, I think I'll just go find Amagami SS and rewatch that instead

[Psyco Diver]

It looks like I found my train wreck this season, something so bad I can't turn away. I've haven't had a good train wreck in a couple seasons

[RX-78GP04G Gerbera]

Hmm...I dunno if I'd go as far as "train wreck", but the execution was definitely below par. The beginning and even the very end weren't TOO bad, but the middle didn't really give us anything solid to go with, and it doesn't help that Shouichi never really has any platform to stand on to get us to root for him like Junichi does with his "stood up on a Christmas Eve date" bit.
