Why I love Junichi....
I love Junichi because he is the first lead male protagonist of a Visual Novel Adaption that I can relate to. He cares about his friends and doesn't pull pranks or makes fun of them. He isn't arrogant, narrow-minded, short-sighted, and self-absorbed.
Tachibana is not your average harem lead character who nets all of the girls' affections without even trying. He realistically puts effort into the relationship and it shows. Watching him go down one of the arcs and ending up with the girl that he falls in love with. As well as watching the different dynamics that each girl brings when they encounter Junichi (as the love interest), which in turn, slightly changes his personality traits has been really fun to watch. It makes Junichi more interesting as a individual.
One of my favorite scenes is when Junichi confesses his love to Kaoru, who has always had been his "Bad Friend". It struck a cord with me because it was honest and really really sweet. Usually its rare for Childhood Friends, such as Rihoko who is coming up, and Bad Friends like Kaoru to end up the Lead Male Character. In other Visual Novel Adaptions and other Romance Anime, the Male Lead Character doesn't ever go for the Childhood Friends or Bad Friends. Only one pairing like that comes to mind to me from the top of my head. So its like a breath of fresh air to have a show like Amagami SS where Junichi (the Main Character) can end up with any of these girls. The Classroom representative, his Bad Friend, Childhood Friend, Sempai, two Underclassmen that are friends with his sister Miya and the hidden character/ 7th heroine (Risa). Each with unique qualities that anyone would fall in love with.
P.S: I liked it when Junichi kissed Kaoru's naval. There I said it. Junichi's fetishes don't bother me. I am actually enjoying them. As for the upcoming Fetishes.....BRING IT ON!!! lol |
