| perhaps people didn't like the omnibus approach? i for one found it quite refreshing and interesting but hey thats just me. if you like it, you'll be glad to know there's an amagami ss+ in the coming winter season. how this will work exactly is beyond me since they finished up everything nicely(cept rihochi poor rihochi >.<) EDT: btw if you're comparing it to animes in general with romance tag, that's not really correct since many others w/ romance tag are more hybrid genres that have action, fantasy, shounen, etc. etc. while amagami is pure romance anime(i do concede the fact that amagami's score seems to be on the low side just goes to show that you can't judge an anime by its score on mal ♪) |

| I agree, way too low in my opinion. One of the better current 'true' romantic shows available. Maybe people just couldn't deal with not having that additional element (action/comedy/etc) and for lack of better words were bored throughout. Not me! Edit: I gave it a 9/10 |

The MC is another typical male lead with no redeeming qualities other than being overly nice, and all of the girls fall under typical cliches too. It's not bad, its not amazing though either. iono why the girls "fall under typical cliches" for you amagami has the most interesting girls ever how exactly does haruka fall under a cliche? tsukasa? perhaps rihoko and sae and to an extent nanasaki(not really imo). it was an interesting pure romance show where we actually know the fricking MC isnt a homosexual. for this show i think we can just conclude on how you take amagami does things i mean icab you thought it did a pretty average job but when i compare it to other romance shows, this grabbed my interest by a lot more but ofc im strictly speaking from my pov |
| Honestly, the show was just dull, its alot better than most harems ive seen mainly cause 90% of them suck but there really wasnt anything stand out about the show. a few characters were nice but the MC was just there, not unlikable but not really a character cause he never really showed any emotion other than just being nice and the forced scenes where hes "sad" it was a ok show, not bad but a solid 7/10 at the most |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |

And yes, You look at any other harem-esque show and you can find girls that are pretty much carbon copy characters of these ones., although these ones aren't as extreme as typical anime girls. Haruka - Overly hyper and eccentric Tsukasa- I haven't gotten to her arc yet but she definitely seems like the "hardworking,overly nice class president type" Rihoko- Clumsy childhood friend. How are they not cliches? So far none of the girls have had any sort of real character development that would make these cliches pass the norm. I'm not saying its bad, but it is just an average show, it doesn't offer anything completely new or special to the table in terms of romance. Also, This pretty much sums up the show http://thecartdriver.com/amagami-ss-episode-1/ okay i mean if you want to classify them as such sure go ahead, they're not going to put a girl with no personality on an anime so yea i feel like theyre going to fall into the broad spectrum of "generic," but (aside from rihoko & sae two weakest arcs), i rather like the all the girls haruka especially sure we can say that she is hyper and eccentric, but if you take away their personalities (and this is how they fall in the broad spectrum of things), where would their place be in a romance anime? In the same way, i can put the characters from clannad or any romance anime into the same cliches. The romance genre has been done just so many times that I dont think that general cliches should apply in terms of their personality. EDIT: u should watch tsukasa's arc :D there's a reason they didn't want to end on rihoko's arc *cough |

EDIT: u should watch tsukasa's arc :D there's a reason they didn't want to end on rihoko's arc *cough But the difference with shows like Clannad and Toradora for example, (which are two shows that have cliche ridden characters) Is that there is more depth for the characters and each of them have character development going. Not all of them, but the ones that matter. Sure it's hard to create development and depth given to each character with only 4 or so episodes in each arc, which is why it works with this show and sets it as a "good show" rather than below average, but since there really isn't character development, you're just watching these girls fall for this guy, the end. Which is a main reason it isn't above average. and where you said "it's better than 90% of romance shows" That's true, it is, but it doesn't excel in that category, Just because it's better, doesn't really mean it's above average, it would just leave it at average. Above average would be one of those shows that excel in story, character development, plot, production value, a lot of the shit that most people wouldn't even pay attention to in anime. I love my average shows too. I wish I could call Hatsukoi Limited above average, but when I look at it from both stand points, it really is just an average show. I'm not trying to sound "dickish", but if you loved this show, good for you. Sometimes people need to look at it from a different stand point and realize that this show really isn't anything special, then you can turn around and go "fuck it, I like it anyway, haters gonna hate" :D no i thought about it afterwards and i can see your point about it being average and still liking it. looking at it in terms of character development i can see why people find it average since it is capped by its 4 episode arcs. and like u said still doesnt stop me from liking it :D |
| Because its just another popular average anime..... I actually haven't completed this yet! only 8eps so far. But I see all the heroines are just stereo types, and doesn't show much of a character development. And story is also filled with full of cliche moments, over dramatic scenes, etc. *my view on this anime might change as I watch more eps. but if it stays same then it's justifiable that it has an average score* |
 |
| Definitely underrated. This is one of the most solid shows of this sort. Everything in the show may be average and quite typical, but it does everything better than other similar shows do. Unfortunately, most people just look at it and think it's a crappy ecchi harem and give it a low score anyway. There are plenty of good shows with rating under 8. |
 |
| I'd say its underrated; for the anime i have seen it certainly was unique in the concept of different arcs/different heroines which is something i never saw before; and while each arc felt short as for some people i wanted to see more, i thought 4 episodes a arc split it up nicely because anything longer and it would be too long or uneven. The male lead is average or below average even but like most shows of this genre its mostly about the girls anyway so i didn't feel it was dragged down by that part of it. 5layer said: There are plenty of good shows with rating under 8. This, and the reason i think this occurs is simply because of the vast number of shows that their are; the sheer number of shows causes repetition or over used plot devices which makes people reevaluate what they may have thought to be a good show at one point to only be reduced to a below average show later. |
 |
| But then again look at the top 2 recommended anime for this show, both of 'em have lower score than this anime. |
 |
| I think the Rihoko arc and some bad moments of Junichi (like in tsukasa arc) contributed to this. But for me, this anime deserves a 8.xx score. |
| I love this show! (Even though I'm still watching it) It has like actually good Arcs and the characters aren't completely Cliche! I mean Yea some characters are partly cliche, but Wtf?, Someone can only be so Different, i mean what kind of personality do you want them to have if not the ones they have already? The only thing i think is bad about this show is how the MC is a cliche (Yea except for him) and how he is an idiot pervert. Its just annoying. The animation i think fits perfectly for this. |
| its not rated that high because it isnt a very good anime it's just boring the way they restart the story for each girl. try kami nomi zo shiru sekai.. this is multi conquest anime that does it in a much more fun way and has a cute supernatural storyline to go with it.. and its hilarious on top of that amagami SS biggest fail was that kaoru was the best arc, and it ended. dont get me wrong its a lovely feelgood anime but theres just nothing about it that makes it stand above others |
 |
| Easy question.. Blame the Rihoko Arc. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| The Rihoko Arc is part of the blame for me. But this anime was just so damn predictable! Reading the spoilers wasn't even much of a spoiler! This felt like a big ass short story to me. Which it practically is. It felt like a huge disappointment to me. If only they gave more episodes for each arc so the characters can have extended development. Or maybe, they should have crammed every arc into one and just make it a harem. Let all the characters have complete interaction with each other instead of feeling and popping up like cameos. With the last few episodes giving each girl/heroine their own endings showing what would happen if the protagonist (Junichi) chose (insert chick here). And please use the gaming endings for crying out loud! Just to be clear what I am talking about 20-26 could be each heroins own ending. Episode 20 Haruka ending, Episode 21 Kaoru ending, etc. Should have done that instead of this crap. |
| "Ogon’ po gotovnosti!" |
| @Bulldog266 - Personally I probably wouldn't like it much if it was a Harem, the omnibus approach it makes it seem more real at least to me. (IMHO School Days happy boat is the likely future result of most harems I've seen considering all the emotionally damaged Tsunderes that are usually about) But moving on. It's not really fair to compare the character interaction/development to those in Toradora/Clannad (25/47 eps respectively) given the short arcs Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora (6eps) and similar length are a better gauge. But as far as I'm concerned the interactions they did have we're better than Toradora/Clannad anyway at no point did I feel that any of the girls needed a slap, there was no pointless beach episodes, rediculously drawn out angst. Just the story of how they became a couple, nothing else, no rivals, no retarded birds (toradora)/1000hit combos (Clannad) just 2 people starting a relationship. IMHO the rating seriously doesn't reflect how good this show is, for people looking for a "pure" romance Anime. But then when does any rating ever accurately reflect the opinion of an entire community. It's still my first recommendation to anyone who wants a romantic anime. |
| I don't understand how people view the ratings on this site. This show is currently rated 7.74 That means it's 'good' bordering on 'very good'. It's 194th in the romance category out of 1003 for finished aired series. That puts it in the top 80 percent for this particular category. Of course, this category includes things that has numerous other genre's, but to be able to score in the top 80 percent despite that is pretty impressive. If we just counted pure romance anime it would still rank highly. Too often on this site I hear people say things need to be an 8+ to be good. That's just ridiculous. Anidb average for this show is 7.63, 7.8 on anime news network scale, 7.74 on myanime list, and 3.923 on animeplanet (anime planet uses 1-5 including decimals so 3.923 would be 7.846 in a 1-10 scale). It seems to me the anime is rated right where it should be, with a high 7, what I can't understand though is why a high 7 isn't thought of as good, when it clearly stipulates on all the mentioned sites that 7 is good (very good in the case of anime news). |

| I think the way they made it based as a sim dating game and maling every heroine have their story/ending is great! Basically the same dating style for multiple heroines with one character animated into an anime is awesome and greatly done! But after watching the 2nd season which opened my eyes to the MC. ... Junichi Tachibana is a horrible MC for heroines (perverted, pussy, unconfident with girls and even when in a relationship sometimes, not confident, doesnt take control as a guy, not lovable, plain looking, etc.) |
| I wouldn't really go off of MAL's ratings, almost everything I look at has an average score of 7 or higher. As for this show, I stopped watching after the scene where he makes out with the back of her leg. |
