| Painfully average 1st episode in every aspect... I’m not sure if I will follow it throughout, but I’m willing to give it a chance, unless I get really bored with its characters and arcs during some point in the series. |

| A relaxing anime story. I was having a difficult time telling some of the characters apart though. Fess up now, who's been waiting their whole life for a horned beetle manga? |
| Very nice start! This is looking to be much better than the trash that was PhotoKano. |
| decent ep nothing caught me though yeah the girls are cute and all but mc is kind of lame and it overlaps with amagami where amagami's mc is funny and quite interesting and has some kind of backstory |
 |
| Very slow pace episode with not much going on really. That ending was very interesting to say the least and I wonder why Tsuneki is uber wet. 2/5- Not much to say about this episode. Didn't like it, but I don't hate it either. To me, this 1st episode felt like an eternity but I'll still give it a chance. I think Tsuneki is super hot and I already like her a lot. A lot of the other girls are cute as well. Other than that, I really can't remember the name of the male MC so that's not a good thing. |
 |
| The onmibus format worked really well for Amagami and I like the visual aesthetic of the show, so yeah I'll give this a try for now. |

| I don't care what any one says, Toru Miyamae and Ruise Sanjo are best girls in this show. |
| I ship @Cewkie and @DarkZeroCalibur  |
| not 1st-episode-drop bad, but still pretty bad. stupid mc, lot's of blushing and a weird cast... |

| This guy remind me of Rito from To-love-Ru with that personality, that moment was really hilarious when he was thinking about pervy things and that girl glanced at him xD. |
| I will enjoy this season of "not-Amagami." |
| Good sleeping material. |
| I clicked on it because I thought "hold on, they look like the characters from Amagami" and was surprised to find out that it's basically Amagami SSS. So I know exactly what to expect. Only have 2 reservations. 1. It seems to me that they might be doing themselves a disservice like in the first Amagami by taking the hottest girl first instead of saving her last. 2. Couldn't they do the character design for the MC a little bit more handsome? Other harems have at least a superpowered or immensely talented hero (Araragi, Kirito, Issei you name it). How do you explain this guys popularity? His kindness, goofy average face or something? |

| There was not much going on in the first episode but I did seem to enjoy what I watched, I was going to to watch this as the synopsis was slightly interesting and I do like some drama. The animation was pleasant, some good music tracks. The highlight was the cliffhanger so I will be defiantly check episode 2 out. Just to point out that I have not seen anything from the studio before except for a few episodes of Kiniro Mosaic. |
| Was it SUPPOSED to look like he was getting bullied while he was eating lunch with the girls? That scene just seemed really awkward. He was getting insulted but the MC didn't even notice. If they're trying to make it seem like it was playful banter they failed. |
| I'm liking it so far. It lacks those flamboyant "over-the-top" moments which nowadays seem to be SO DAMN common in SoL anime (I'm looking at you, Masamune-kun), and that's a definite plus in my eyes. But it's not just that. The whole setting has a very realistic, somber, and relatable atmosphere. I don't even remember when was the last time I saw an anime where there were no weirdly colored hairstyles, or weird colors in general... for some reason, it reminds me of Shinsekai Yori in this sense :-) The characters... yeah, the MC is quite bland, but unfortunately this seems to be a recurring aspect of Japanese romance anime. That's quite unfortunate, though - you can have a good romance even if your male MC is little more than an empty shell. Thinking of Hisao from Katawa Shoujo, for example - but even in Japanese media, I'd much rather have a MC like Takasu (Toradora!) or Kyon (Haruhi Suzumiya) than... this. That being said, at least it didn't make me want to punch him in the teeth yet like Makoto (School Days) or Masamune (Masamune-Kun no Revenge), so that's something. On the other hand, I'm really appreciating this girl, Hikari. I found her amusing, but not stereotyped or somewhat bordering on unbelievability (even Fuuka, while I'm really liking her, sorta pushes my suspension of disbelief with alarming frequence). She definitely feels like a person you COULD meet in real life - and at the same time, she has enough of a personality to not feel exceedingly banal or shallow. I've seen supposedly deconstructive shows with MUCH shallower female chars, in comparison (such as Grimgar or Re:Zero). In short, I dunno what to expect yet from this show (and I've not watched this Amagami SS thing everybody talks about, yet), but I'm definitely gonna keep watching this for now. Let us see how it goes - at least, this strange, almost "vintage" animation is worth piquing my interest^^ |
| So many people not realising that's it's a sequel to Amagami SS T.T |
Zarator said: I don't even remember when was the last time I saw an anime where there were no weirdly colored hairstyles, or weird colors in general... I'm glad someone else commented about this. I've heard someone praise Amagami SS for this before too, and I'm happy the character designer stuck with it. |

JumBoRGiNo said: i still dont understand if it's gonna be 3 heroines and 4 ep's per arc or 6 heroines and 2 ep's per arc/4 ep's per arc + season 2? 3 heroines this season. |
| holy crap this really is a sequel to Amagami SS without actually being Amagami lol only once i heard the whole miss santa talk it queued into me. the amount of death glares this episode could pierce the skies |
 |
| liked the first episode reminds me of amagami ss |
JumBoRGiNo said: AmethystItalian said: So many people not realising that's it's a sequel to Amagami SS T.T technically it really is but, like fuuka u don't have to watch the prequel to understand it. it's more like an alternative setting though. Same setting just in the future with familial ties so it's more like the Macross series. Which is labelled as a sequel. |
| I'm liking the vibe of this anime |
| I loved it. It has a pretty good mix of comedy and romance. Plus the artstyle is awesome. |
| Made me feel like I was watching Amagami again, cant wait to see all the arcs. Im not a big fan of the current girl tho. |
 |
| Amagami 2.0, not sure if I'll enjoy it as much SS, but the 1st episode left a good impression on me, so I'm optimistic. |

| It was pretty fucking dull I gotta admit, and neither the main heroine's stock "mischievous" personality nor her good looks could really salvage the episode for me. Hope it gets better, or funnier, or anything "-er". MagicalMahou said: Felt the exact same lmao. This shit could've been released ten years ago if it weren't for the slightly more vivid colors.what the fuck is this 2006 shit |

| I'll definitely keep watching this show because the girls look pretty cute. ;) |
 |
| 1st episode seems a bit slow. I'm staying for a couple of episodes befor deciding. |
| who the fuck scores an anime on its first episode? we barely had some introductions come on |
| why am i so well drawn into time travel stories? do i really have that many regrets? |
| I enjoyed Amagami SS back in the days and the nostalgia hit me pretty hard with this one. It has only been like 6 years but since we usually don't get shows like this it feels like it has been an eternity already. I really love the artstyle and the more realistic approach on the series, it is a nice change from basically everything you get nowadays. As expected the MC is, well, average to put it nicely. But I'm really looking forward to the heroine arcs and how they will be presented. I remember Photokano, which I don't think is particularly bad at all but there could have been a lot more done with the show than what was the outcome at the end. |
| I'm feeling thank you |
| male mc couldn't be more retardet i swear.. |
ShinningBlue said: male mc couldn't be more retardet i swear.. You obviously haven't watched Fuuka this season then. |
I bet Ruise will be most popular girl, too bad her arc in next cour. |
 |
| FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's def one of my favorites. Her and Toru Miyamae |
| I ship @Cewkie and @DarkZeroCalibur |
| That was rather plain and dull. The girls are pretty cute though. But for some reason, all of them seem like total bitches so far. None of them have been very likable. The only one I want to see is the one we see in the arcade with the longer hair. She seems really cool. Other than that. Meh, I suppose. |
| awful episode I'll keep watching knowing that it'll pick up soon but man that was boring |
  |
| There looks like there is other seasons before this one but they have different names? Do i need to watch those first or can i watch this now in your opinion? |
| I'm pretty confused at the moment. Hopefully next episode will focus more on who is who. |
