Amagami-san Chi no Enmusubi

After witnessing his mother's death at a young age, Uryuu Kamihate grew up disillusioned with the gods, dismissing faith in them as utter nonsense. Due to his beliefs, he aims to become a doctor, spending most of his time studying to enter the prestigious Kyoto University.

To further his studies, Uryuu searches for a new place to take him in and get away from the noisy environment of the orphanage where he grew up. Chidori Amagami, head priest of the Amagami Shrine, allows him to stay at the Amagami residence. However, Uryuu has to live there with Chidori's three granddaughters—Yae, Yuna, and Asahi—who serve as shrine maidens. Moreover, Chidori has another condition for Uryuu: he has to marry one of the sisters to ensure the shrine's future and one day inherit it. But with Uryuu's goals and outlook naturally clashing against the sisters' beliefs, this already daunting ordeal seems outright impossible.

When the trailer for Tying the Knot with an Amagami Sister dropped, I don’t know why, but I instantly felt this odd mix of curiosity and excitement. I thought, okay, here comes another harem anime where the guy stumbles into a house full of beautiful girls and somehow they all fall for him—typical stuff, right? But wow, I was wrong in the best way.

The story really surprised me. It isn't just about romance or girls fighting over a guy. There’s a layer of science-fiction-ish stuff going on—parallel timelines, déjà vu, alternate paths—and it’s done in such an accessible, light way that it never feels overwhelming. ... Actually, that twist gave it a fresh vibe compared to the usual predictable romantic comedies.

Now about the girls—each one is genuinely charming in her own way. I personally found myself smiling a lot whenever Asahi was on screen. There’s something so sweet and innocent about her, trying to act like the big sister even though she’s the youngest. Yae, on the other hand, has this calm, mature aura that really draws you in. And Yuna, classic tsundere with a soft heart, brought some nice spice to the mix. The way their hair knots carry symbolic meaning throughout the story is such a cool detail—I didn’t even notice it at first, but once I connected the dots... it hit hard.

As for Uryuu, I liked that he wasn't just some clueless pushover like in many other harem shows. He had his own backstory, struggles, and goals. His chemistry with the girls felt believable, and honestly, by the end, it’s pretty clear who he’s meant to be with—if you're paying attention. (Don’t worry, no spoilers here!)

So why not a perfect 10? Well, I felt like the school setting could’ve been used a bit more—it kind of faded into the background. Also, while the fanservice was never overwhelming, there were moments where it felt a bit too much, especially when the story itself was already strong enough to stand without it. And Shirahi—man, I wish they had introduced her earlier. She had so much potential but didn’t get enough time to shine.

Still, I’d happily give it a solid 9/10. It had heart, a bit of mystery, some light humor, and characters that stayed with me even after it ended. Definitely worth watching, especially if you're looking for a romance with more depth than you’d expect.

Mixed Feelings

Hmmmm. This is a tough one. Mostly because of the supernatural stuff. Kinda simple but I'll say meh, with some good ideas.

This is one of those anime that you wanna love but something is amiss and you can't really tell what. So, this might be a problem of adaptation. I don't know the sauce, I don't care about sauce. This is a review for this media, spoiler free.

The visuals are good. Except for the MC (dunno why, I don't really like it), the designs are nice/really good. Good color palette. Extremely beautiful landscapes/background. Same for VFX. Animation on par.
The audio is good. Decent soundtrack, good ... levels. Good OP and ED (and their visuals), VAs do a good job.
High production value, good mix, the cinematography is very good.
Yes, I'm rushing through all this because everyone can notice the high level.

Now, the tricky part. Like I said, this anime has some integral supernatural parts. Every time you deviate from the norm your project becomes harder to master. And thats because you need to carefully balance said elements or the world-building will suffer. A simpler example is the fantasy genre. Lets say you get some nice characters and an interesting story, but you feel like you want to add magic. As in magic spells, not pizzazz. Well, if your magic system doesn't have some strong rules, your story will have plothole after plothole. I'm sure any of us can come up with some anime title where this happened. The same goes for supernatural. You can have a little more freedom, but some rules MUST exist. If someone asks "how the fk did that happen?" and your answer is "'cause its magic/supernatural", then you're doing it wrong. And now back to our stuff. This anime's approach to said elements is mostly ok. A couple of iffy parts, but thats ok, its supernatural ( :) ) The main issue is with the characters. And their relationship with the supernatural parts. The MC has a character arc, good or bad, thats not the problem here. What I'm talking about is him being dumb or quick-witted by how the plot dictates. And thats mixed-in with some supernatural elements. And yes, there are more examples/situations, but he's the main element that lowers this anime.

Spoiler free, so I won't say much. The story is kinda interesting in the beginning. After a while it kinda becomes something like mini-arcs for each girl: 3 episodes for developing his romance with this girl 3 for the next one, and so on, and so on. Not a bad thing per se, but makes you raise an eyebrow. Again, probably this is because of the sauce, maybe a volume had chapters of one girl only. Dunno. While it does its job, of characters' development and relationship advancement, after a while this kind of storytelling becomes boring. Do keep in mind this is a 24-episodes season, so if people want to know how it ends, it feels too long. Oh, also: the comedy is meh, the romantic angle is ok-ish. A personal note, this anime would've gotten a lot better if MORE fan service was added. Something shiny to distract you. More so when you have such lovely visuals. But then again, the MC is a wuss, so maybe its ok as it is. Another personal note, I like the way the title and the last episode ties up ( I'm sorry, I had to do it...).

Thats about it. A good-looking anime, with good ideas, but meh story and elements. Probably very enjoyable if you can turn off your brain. I'd say no return value, because there's is nothing to make you wish rewatching it.
I'm giving this a 7 ( it really should be a 6, but ok) for the extremely nice backgrounds, some nice ideas, some character development.

Have a lovely evening.

Preliminary (12/24 eps)

The show starts off all fanservice and no substance. You have seen this formula a billion times already. Last year it was the Cafe Terrace show, now it's Tying the Knot With an Amagami Sister (from now on called Knot). It follows the usual formula of "guy who is kind of cold gets surrounded by girls and eventually has to choose a love interest. But don't worry deep inside he is kind but just puts up a front. Also he always accidentally gropes them or sees them naked." Completely typical.

Knot's issue is that it wants to have it both ways. It wants to give you ... mind-numbing fan service with really shallow character tropes, but for some reason it also wants to tell a serious story. The serious story, however, is completely uninteresting. So it's just overt fanservice interrupted by long stretches of really boring storytelling. Even if you're watching this for the fanservice, it will be ruined by the shitty storytelling that seems to last ages.
