I was just about to finish this series and declare Nanasaki best girl but then it turns out there's one more episode after Ayatsuji's arc and in it Illya travels over from the Nasuverse in order to confess to the protagonist and he of course accepts as any normal person would. Then it turns out she's also the reason his date stood him up 2 years ago and she's been watching him since they were kids so probably over 5 years at least. She also happens to be stupidly cute, obsessed with him, overprotective and no she's not really Illya but it's hard to tell the difference sometimes with that voice.

So yea, the best girl title has now been claimed by Risa. Really if anybody should be apologizing it's the protagonist for not noticing her all these years. I mean how blind can you be?

i mean it's not like it was suspicious or anything when this girl who confessed to you out of the blue only wants to meet you in this secluded room, turns out she's a stalking control freak. probably owns some chains

if it appeared unsatisfactory to anyone that risa only received 1 episode, it was because Junichi wouldn't have survived the next three

Honestly I didn't like Risa. She felt too pushy and she was the reason why Tachibana got stood up. We can't even prove that Makihara was going to dump him anyways other than her own word of mouth.

Also, I knew Risa is voiced by Kadokawa Mai and Makihara was voiced by Harada, Hitomi. Risa really sounds like Illya from Fate series and Makihara sounds like Asuka from Senran Kagura.

Shame it was only 1 episode, but I guess they were already pushing it. Now onto the OVA with the sister and SS+!

I give this a 9/10! I finally finished this!

Ayatsuji is still the best girl hands down!

I don't dislike Risa's actions she did those things because she loves tachibana and she have every right to be selfish in order to protect her love one but I won't neglect the fact that if she wanted she could done things more accurate ways.

Anyways she apologized to everyone at last .
If I had to rate this episode it would be 7/10.

Risa is an individual which we could call being "pathologically good" or having a pathological view on love. Its a kind of psychological state where you genuinely feel love for a person and think you're acting in their best interest while at the same time seriously damaging said individual and/or its surrounding social environment. So I can't say I liked her or this brief arc.

Well, at least she apologized at the end but it still wasn't that satisfying for me.

Anyways, good show with different girls, all indeed having a unique personality.

Here I was thinking how tsukasa is best girl after her arc ended and it only took risa a single episode to overshadow every single girl in every single way. She is the ultimate one for junichi.

Haruka - 6/10
Kaoru - 5/10
Sae - 4/10
Ai - 6/10
Rihoko - 5/10
Tsukasa - 7/10
Risa - 8/10

Fun fact: Amagami and Kimikiss take place in the same universe but Amagami takes place 8 years before Kimikiss (notice how there are no cellphones?)
Makihara was wearing the uniform of Kibina, the high school where Kimikiss took place.

I used to like this girl until the reveal of what she did. She literally ruined potential relationships and hurt him two years ago. Well now this is over, I can say that my favorite arcs were Kaoru and Morishima's followed by Nanasaki and Tsukasa. Childhood friend was ok, not really that found of this girl but at least better than that boring Sae and her arc.

This anime was great. It is hard to determine the best girl, but I enjoyed Senpai, Class Rep and Kaoru arc. The rest were ok. Big shoutout to Umehara, he is a great friend.

My favorites are:

Top 3 - Senpai, Class Rep and Kaoru
4. Ai
5. Sae
6. Risa
7. Rihoko

omg :d that was gold :d a psycho fan :D

anyway I give this season 7.5
It were too short arcs with too many girls to build up any onds to characters, but I think the best 3 girls were Sae, Haruka and Rihoko. I disliked Ai.

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

Cute, funny, disturbing episode.

Cute because gotta say Risa's cute.

Funny, especially the parts where she rationalises destroying the potential relationships the other girls could've had with Junichi.

Disturbing, because of the same thing.

Honestly, I'm not sure whether a simple apology is enough... Basically she won everything by "cheating", destroying the others' relationships before they could begin. It's easy to apologise now since there's really no penalty for her if she does, since she's already going out with Junichi. It's kind of a red flag to be honest.

But oh well. Hope she becomes a better person.

Lol what was this last episode, she tried everything just to let Junichi be blocked by every other girl. Can't say I'm really fond of this. Anyways it was a decent watch, with Morishima = Kaoru > Ayatsuji > Ai > Sae > Rihoko. Won't include this one episode arc.

So overall a 6/10.

Ngl, it was sad to see the other girls disappointed when Risa lied to them, especially Sae and Rihoko (who was shafted in her own story too). Tsukasa’s reaction was great tho. Anyway, it was a shame that this wasn’t at least 2 episodes.

Risa is cute, but I still don't agree with her stoppin Tachibana from being with the girls. Still, a nice mini arc for her, even got an ending just for Risa.

Great season since Miya gets her own OVA. Liked that preview a lot. I really wish they gave more episode to Ayatsuji and Haruka. Like many VNs, liked some girls, wasn't a fan of others and then had my favorites as well so all in all a great season.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

So she started to fall in love with him ever since he DRANK HER MILK

Thought this just going to be a gag episode through and through... but no it has the girl who is actually the one who sort of brings them all together as she was the cause of that fateful night two years ago when Tachibana got "stood up". We go through two twists in a one episode, the first one again being that this girl Risa girl was the reason to which why Tachibana thought he was stood up all this time. But then soon we get the second twist that fills in the gaps: Risa did it not mainly for selfish reasons, but for Tachibana's sake himself. She knew that that group of girls only intended to make fun of him, and to spare him the pain, she told this girl Mika (who, idk why Tachibana fell for this chick in the first place) that Tachibana wanted to meet someplace else in an attempt to split them up. This part I don't entirely buy, because why would Mika listen to this girl who I'm assuming she's not super close with that she indeed had a message to relay to her from Tachibana. Why wouldn't Tachibana just tell Mika himself? Anyway, kind of a big plot hole but I can overlook it for the sake of the rest of the story which I like.

They had to pack a lot into a single episode, including introducing a girl we haven't even seen before; but I think they made it work and made it not feel too rushed with the limited time considered. In this short time I've already come to like Risa, and wish that they'd just ditch Rihoko's arc entirely and given all that time to Risa who is integral to the main catalyst of each girl's plot that being Tachibana getting stood up two years ago. But with the short time that she was given, I have already become invested in her character and want more from her story. By no means is she best girl material, but if I think about it, she might be the best match for Tachibana. I think she is the one who displayed the most genuine love out of them all: she didn't just confess her love to him, but backed up those claims by showing how she wanted to spare him the pain, by choosing to give him what she hoped to be a lesser pain. It was probably a hard decision for her to make but she made it.

I liked this last episode. In its own way, it kind of ties everything together and puts a little bow on it all. I'll give this one-episode arc a 7/10, which is the same score I'll probably give to this series as a whole. MAYBE an 8/10, I still have to think on that. Or maybe I'll save that 8/10 for Amagami SS+, which I hear improves upon everything we've already seen.

But first I have to watch the little sister ova. Oh dear, I wonder what awaits.

I don't know if I would forgive Risa for messing up any potential relationships if I were in Junichi's place, but he made the right decision. Christmas means a lot of bad memories, he wanted to get at least some joy out of it this time and decided to give a shot at dating her. Nice of him to suggest to apologize to everyone and asks to go along, but Risa resolved to do this on her own.

It was a very nice extra episode that mixed all routes and included another girl albeit for a short time.


Despite some arcs being kinda weak, all girls deserve to be called best girls. There's something to like in all of them. Overall, I rate Amagami 8.5/10.

The last episode of this season is a pleasant surprise and, at the same time, makes you upset because it alone has a plot that could be put in much more than 5 episodes (which is the average for each arc). It has by far the best drama, best dramatic arc, and with the best plot, but by far, and it could have had, by far, the best novel, but because it was only 22 minutes, it was very artificial and all that, unfortunately , by some dumb and unfortunate creative decision, left it to be told in just 22 minutes! And, worse, the girl in the episode is what makes the plot of the anime synopsis happen! It makes no sense for the girl who should be the most important to only have a 1-episode performance! It introduces Hiza KamizakI, a girl who never appears in the anime and is not in the protagonist's social circle. AND [DEEPER SPOILERS OF THE EPISODE], as her story with the protagonist has to be closed only in this episode, right away she appears declaring herself and both becoming boyfriends with 1 minute of the episode. Only that part of the scenes shown would make an entire episode, if they were scripted correctly. And immediately the script tells us that she doesn't want Tachibana to introduce her as his girlfriend (another scene that would take an entire episode again) because of her past. Briefly speaking, she is the reason why Tachibana was 'caked' at Christmas two years before, with a good justification (which would take two whole episodes just to work on the drama, making an immersive flashback with a mix of the present), only that the justified part ends when she herself tells in her thoughts why she couldn't show Tahchibana as her girlfriend to his friends: she walked away telling a lie to everyone that he already had a girlfriend, showing a fake photo of him. [END DEEPER SPOILER] Watch the rest of the episode and see for yourself how this episode was sorely wasted potential! I would make a whole anime of about 10 to 12 episodes just for this dramatic arc that the character has, during these 8 years that she knows the protagonist.

So allegedly Risa was attempting to protect mr mc from being pranked? Yeah, well after all those lies she told and no other reliable source to verify I’d say I’m not sure she is in any way trustworthy. She may be cute but her obsessive nature sure isn’t and ultimately just causes unnecessary trouble.

Whata fucken way to end the show. Worst girl by far, but she was still interesting in her own way. I swear, her voice actor carried the entire character.

Overall
Kaoru
Ayatsuji
Nanasaki
Morishima
Sae
Rihoko

All of the arcs were interesting, though even the ones that I thought would fucking suck, so thats pretty lit.

Ah ha ha. Didn't expect that at all!

Risa-chan's kinda creepy at first but considering what she said she cute asl too.. Even though she's the reason of Tachibana's suffering he still accepts her. damn.




don't even know why I started watching this but I'm glad I did.

Mate is really twisted to sabotage each relationship MC has been building. At least, we know what happened on that two years ago and I also found some parts of this episode quite funny.

Risa single-handedly carried the show, even though she only appeared in the last episode. Such an original ending to an otherwise generic show, bravo to Risa and whoever wrote her. If she hadn't appeared, I would have given it a 6, but with her involvement in the last episode, I decided to give it a 7. Tsukasa's arc was good too; she was always a bit suspicious with her good samaritan look. It was good to know she had a dark side as well. The other girls besides them were a little bland and nothing worth mentioning. If I had to rank every arc, it would be like this:
 
Risa>Tsukasa>Morishima>Nanasaki>Kaoru>Rihoko>Nakata
Remember what Master Oogway told us:

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.

This is a unique episode considering that Risa went out of her way to dismantle all possible relationships for Junichi at this point in the show. It's almost as if a fan girl went into the anime space to kill off all possible relationships to make her love route with the protagonist (idk why with Junichi but oh well). This is a unique ending to the original run of Amagami SS and it's a shame we don't get to see any other like it. AMAGAMI FOREVER
