First half had some nice elements:
Hungry Haruka snatching some food from the Oden stall and then being dragged away. Teacher getting plastered... again. I wonder what crazy things she did last year? Sae wearing that Santa outfit - too bad she skimped out, she would've had a chance there. Quote:
Then a wild kiss... and probaly wild sex as well. You can vividly imagine how thing go on from now on with Ai being so daring Anyway, that great onsen scene with daring Ai convinced me to give it a 10/10.

First off, Haruka is awesome - no matter what.
Now then, great episode. Really did enjoy Ai's screen time. My only complaints with this arc is there wasn't really any romantic feeling development on Junichi's part. And they could have been more consistent with the tan lines as well. Yeah, that's another complaint...it's been one of those days, lol.

By the way, the end scene was definitely great, and we get to see Ai bold as always. Unfortunately, i find the way it ended was a bit too abrupt, even though it was decent...

Well what I have to complain about may not be valid in your opinion, but I'll tell you anyway. I did not enjoy the straightforwardness of the encounter and the dialog in certain places. For instance, when Tachibana is found sneaking into the girls swim team practice he goes through this weird encounter with every other member of the team where he expresses his, well, fascination with Ai's chest (as an apology for earlier). I just couldn't take this arc seriously after that, because in my opinion this entire relationship relied on that fact alone: physical attraction. I'm not begging for drama, but I come to expect a degree of it in any romance series. Kaoru, in my opinion, was excellent in this category.
Another thing that bugged me--and this may just be Japanese culture--but despite being a couple, the younger partner always refers to the other as senpai. They didn't feel like a real couple because only one called by the other by their name, and I thought that if two are in love that maybe they would call each other's name like "Ai-chan" and "Junichi" instead of "Ai-chan" and "Senpai." It's early so if I think of anything else, I'll let you know. |

I guess I wasn't the only one who thought of that...it pains me that I actually did too.
It may have been a little abrupt, but everything that we needed to be done, was. And we got a nice little epilogue where he called her Ai. I just wish she had dropped the "senpai" bit.

I echo DJ Lowrider's sentiment that Ai, as a character, is far better than the arc she ended up with. Excepting Kaoru's arc, Junichi has been a tool in every one; since he forms the other half of each arc's leading cast, this basically condemns the arc to fail. It was--like Haruka's arc--mediocre, and that bothers me since I prefer Ai over Haruka in terms of character concept.
Ai's arc takes a moderately distanced second behind Kaoru's arc, is the tiniest cut above Haruka's arc, but thankfully is still miles ahead of Sae's abortion of an arc.

I hope people know that this is a thread to discuss the episode content, though everyone's thoughts on the arcs. There is a thread for that.

As Shiroth says, the recent posts discussing the various arcs were off topic, if we consider this is "episode 16 discussion thread". If you want to compare Ai's arc with the others, we have a specific thread:
Amagami SS - Arc Comparison/Discussion The aforementioned posts have been moved there.
