Tl;dr I could definitely watch another 8 episode of this.
Also, good thing Tsukasa gave Junichi a beating.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.
Definitely liked Ayatsuji's arc the most. I thought Haruka would be #1 all the way to the end but I guess they did indeed save the best for last with Ayatsuji.
well, either ways, very nice ending, though an unexpected little twist at the end.
they get married, and 10 years later, they have a lovely little daughter. mini ayatsuji :P
the thing is, she looks like she's at least 7-9, and considering this is 10 years later, they must have gotten married and had their daughter only 2-4 years after the events in this episode.... :P
well, it wasn't without pain for Junichi. when he tried to get the regular tsukasa back,
he pretty much suffered just like in this gif lol.
next episode will be about Kamizaki Risa, who apparently is a secret character from the VN (or so I hear). Apparently she is a yandere, though I don't know for sure.
Next episode preview: Truth - シンジツ(Shinjitsu)

If you clicked on this spoiler, you either
a) accidentally thought it was a screenshot. Very unlikely, but possible >:3
b) "curiosity killed the cat"
c) none of the above, which is very much possible (though unlikely)
Either ways, since you're already here you should visit my
awesome anime blog that I write for.
Yes, I'm blatantly advertising, but that's what makes it fun ;)

My thoughts exactly.
Stalker girl up next! Then we get our "incest" in the Blu-ray, right?
It was nice seeing the original OP again. While wish each arc had some sort of "xx years later" thing at the end, I will admit that it probably works best with this arc and Haruka's. Speaking of Haruka, o__o
I liked Ayatsuji and it was a good ending and enjoyed the 10 years after but I don't know something kind of felt missing. I still think Haruka and Ai had the best endings. poor Umehara in every route the poor guy is alone.
sad this is ending, too bad stalker girl only gets 1 ep and then the end.
By far this topped as the best arc of all of them. In the other arcs you really only see most of the character development in one of the two main characters, either the girl, or Junichi. In this one both characters really show a lot of development which leads up to a fantastic end.
Well, that defently gave me what i expected, i watched it and it really delivered, this, without a doubt, is the best arc in Amagami SS. Thank god they gave her a 10 year after, she deserve it.
DoubleDango said: Do I have to go play the novel to found out about her problems at home (more on her older sister and what happened) and what the diary was all about?
Short hair Tsukasa and a loli Tsukasa huh, hmm.
Hell, if I played the visual novel I would probably have a hard time picking which char I'll route. I'd probably try to do all their routes in one play through, but we all know doing that will cause a crash and burn.
And one moar thing, Tsukusa, ummm... errr... yeah... ten years and you're starting to adapt the symptoms of my father.
It was the best romantic ending of the entire series. And just in time for Christmas! Better than Haruka's which was my top one. I loved this arc, especially Tukasa. For a moment in the last episode I thought that her sister was impersonating her to help her. But I guess not.
I give this arc a 10/10 and due to the time lapse and her child I give it 100/10!
Without a doubt this is the best arc in the entire show. By combining Tsukasa's Lover's End and Good End, it's the best possible way to conclude her arc.
Both Junichi and Tsukasa underwent very well done character development, so all in all awesome ending to the best arc in the show.
It was so good it more than made up for the disaster that was Rihocchi's arc. :D
I sincerely doubt wincest for Miya's episode. To my knowledge, it'll mostly revolve around the actual meaning of Amagami, i.e. the show's essence in name, probably.
Although wincest wouldn't hurt... Such a cute imouto... :P
Edit: If we're going by personal preference for heroines, then:
sigh, i still wouldve liked to get a background story of her. what was the diary about? her talking to herself? and how did the split personality thing happen... finding out santa clause is fake cant be THAT dramatic. and wooo for flying knee to the stomach.
how come no screenshots of haruka. she was on fire..
Kurogashi said: and how did the split personality thing happen...
The split personality thing was a lie. Tsukasa became the mask in order to please Junichi, hence the beatdown he got when he said that he loved the "obstinate Ayatsuji-san from before."
My favourite arc in the series has come to an end. Tsukasa was just great. She had her cute moments, she had her sexy moments. She was aggressive, she was lovely. I loved her. Umehara and the sensei were true bros this episode. And Haruka's santa outfit was just sexy.
1:
In the game, Risa has you pinned down on the floor and ready to take your virginity whether you like it or not.
If you agree to whatever she's about to do to you next and show no show sign of resistance, it's implied you have sex right then and there at school and in the epilogue, Risa's your girlfriend in college.
However, if you refuse Risa's advances, she rats out to the entire school about your porn collection and ,coincidentally, that day you happened to have the misfortune of having porno dvds and mags in your backpack that you were going to lend out to your bro during class.
2:
Shit happens, your pornos get confiscated and you get like a suspension (at most 1 week, but I think it was 3 days least if my memory recalls) from school for supposedly breaking school morals and code of conduct and yadda yadda. Not only that, your reputation is irreparably damaged among the female population at your high school because of the incident. You can't ever hope to get a girlfriend now this year or the next remaining year of your high school life. Even your sister, Miya, and your Bro, Umehara, try not to associate too much with you during school because they are afraid their rep might get sullied just by being with you. BAD END.
Whatever choice you make in regards to Risa, you're literally Fucked whether you like it or not.

Well in Risa's defense, Junichi was about to date a girl who was planning to break his heart for laughs down the line.
Risa wouldn't have none of that, so she somehow get to mislead the girl to show up hours earlier than Junichi on Christmas Eve for their expected date, making the GIRL ,herself, that that it was Junichi who was Standing her up instead.
Either way, Risa's "saving" of Junichi was a double-edged sword. She got the couple both thinking it was the other who were standing them up. That bitch Junichi liked probably wasn't that badly affected because she never liked him in the first place, but Junichi, on the otherhand, got traumatized.
Well, what can you do? Stalkers are not known for their rationality and double more so if they're female. And Risa was a middleschooler that time along with Junichi and his bitch. Kids will be kids.

Risa is the Canon Ending Girl, not Ayatsuji like everyone thinks she is.
Ayatsuji may have been the cover girl, have 2 Amagami mangas dedicated to her, and been constantly hyped up by the anime studio but that doesn't mean squat to the game devs.
Risa route is the secret ending after all girl's routes have been traveled on and completed.
Stalker sabotages your chances with every girl just to get you for herself.
You only have yourself to blame for being Alpha as Fuck during elementary school when you chugged down that hateful milk carton lactose-intolerant Risa was being forced to finish up (or that day she just had a stomachache) when she was being all teary in front of everyone in class that led to her calling you her "Milk Prince".
Crazy bitches get crazy over the littlest things you do for them, apparently. Junichi rescued the wrong girl that day who is responsible why such a okay or arguably decent guy never managed to hook up with anyone throughout his life. Risa made it her mission to keep girls away from him until she, herself, was brave and confident enough to confess to him her passionate love for the "Milk Prince". Sad to say, that's around 5 to 6 years up to the 2nd year of highschool to being responsible for the reason why Junichi was still single.
That's some DEEP LOVE right there, if you know what I mean.
5:
I don't think Risa qualifies as a yandere in the sense that despite all the crazy things she did over the years that led to Junichi being cockblocked constantly until she found herself confident enough to confess to him. Once Junichi rejected her (You, as the player, that is, if you make such a decision in the game), all Risa ever does is destroy your reputation, especially among the girls.
If she can't have you, no one else can as long as you still go the same school as her. You're totally free to date whomever once you get into Uni.
RIsa just accepts her rejection and removes herself from Junichi's life just like that, although with some bad side-effects for him because he didn't requite her love, sadly. She does not get violent on Junichi at all.
I can't really classify Risa. She's crazy for Junichi, but she's also perfectly willing to forget all about him if he's not as crazy for her.
To me, Risa sounds cute in a sort of not-quite-crazy-enough-to-call-the-police-but-not-quite-comfortable-enough-to-turn-my-back-on-her kind of way
Nice ending to probably the best arc. glad that i followed the anime. still cannot choose between Ai and Tsukasa though. But the 10 year thingy seems to give Tsukasa the edge.
It was strange to see Tsukasa enter Mizunashi Akari mode for a while, when she talked about santa-san and all. But it didn't last long as she opened up to Junichi which shows that she is willing to share everything with her new found precious thing, which is indeed Junichi.
But the best moment was when she said "Yakusoku!"
Mini Tsukasa looked so adorable. I still don't know what was the reason to show Tsukasa's sister in the anime, maybe it was something that Junichi needed to know, or know her other side better. Loved it when she broke down and started crying on top of Junichi. And Junichi was the Real Man in this arc. So finally gets my approval for being a genuine protagonist. ;)
Too bad they didn't show the Gundam much. I actually continued the anime for the Gundam moments :/
Just kiddin' XD

Roy Mustang is my hero If pro is opposite of con, then what is the opposite of progress? think about it If u say plz because its shorter than please, ill say no kuz its shorter than yes
Whoa 10 years later? I'm assuming their 18 years old if this is their 4th year of high school ... so they already have a kid who looks like shes ... 4-6 years old? They had a baby pretty fast...
here I thought I was just expecting Tsukasa to be the one in a Santa costume in this episode.. thank the gods that they even given as a super hot Haruka Santa, early xmas present yay!! :D
poor Umehara.. it's just your luck that you're just a supporting character, but I am one of he people who salute your kind.. here's me hoping you getting a special episode where you get a girl and Junichi doesn't.. XD
really smooth way for Junichi to patch things up.. oh wait, wrong adjective there, it was rough!! haha.. that's got to hurt a lot.. >.<
The last part was an incredibly sweet way to end the arc, that's how endings should always be like.. :)
also, I was already spoiled with the different endings for Tsukasa's arc in the game before and I'm glad they didn't trolled us this time and just gave us what we want..
Liked the ending of the episode, it was a deff nice finish. :)
HOWEVER, something about this arc just didn't click with me. It really was the fact that I was left in the dark about the home problems/sister/diary.
Certainly you can say its not that relevant, but I really like knowing all the details. And even so, I would argue that it's pretty important knowing why she had a facade.
Her facade, I felt isn't explained, it still feels a bit weird to have two complete extremes without any cause. (Or maybe that's just normal since people can have two sides of themselves)
I can see some of the reasoning, but in the end, it just didn't feel right for me :(
Oh and if someone knows the missing details, please let me know :D
Wow Morishima I don't think you could pull that off in an American School without getting suspended. Well if that happens you can sue them for stripping your rights (Yea I know. Horrible pun.) Maybe Zetsubou was right about that stereotype about suing.
