Amagami SS is one of my favorite anime in 2010. Arranged in an omnibus format, this anime tells a story about Junichi, an average boy with bad memory of Christmas from being stood up by his date two years ago, trying to move on with his life and finally open his heart to meet new people.

We have not just one but six heroines. Harem? No, far from that. Each heroine will get their own arc for 4 episodes. Six different love stories with same settings.

Morishima Haruka
The idol of the school. A very "playful" character with unique personality. Her arc is a bit unordinary, in a good way. Love to see how their love develops from a series of uncommon plots, and a very nice ending of their life 10 years later.

Tanamachi Kaoru
Junichi's childhood friend. A very active girl with a good heart. Living together with only her mom, Kaoru works part time at a restaurant to support her family. Nice refresh from the usual plot of childhood-friend-becomes-lover type.

Nakata Sae
A first year student, younger than Junichi. A classmate of Miya, Junichi's little sister. Sae is an extremely shy and quiet person who even have problem in speaking normally to people. I personally don't really like her voice, but her arc turns out to be a decent arc.

Nanasaki Ai
A first year student, also Miya's classmate. Ai is a member of swimming club. Ai is my number one favorite heroine in this anime. She's cute, she's cool, she's a bit flirty in a very lovable way. Her confession scene at the private onsen is EPIC !

Sakurai Rihoko
Another childhood friend of Junichi. Different from Kaoru who is very active and can make the first movement, Rihoko is a bit passive. Her arc mainly focus on her effort to lose some weight and her tea club that will be closed next year when she becomes the last member left after the seniors are graduated. Special note that I love her ending songs.

Ayatsuji Tsukasa
Class president, honor student, head of school event committee, you get the picture about her already right? She looks perfect in everyone's eye. A role model student with no weak point. Until one day Junichi discovered her "true" self after accidentally accused for reading her notebook. One of the most interesting character I've ever found in any anime.

Kamizaki Risa
Risa is a hidden heroine in the original Amagami visual novel. And she gets only one episode in the anime.

Love this anime ! Love the theme songs ! Certainly a title you shouldn't miss ! If you watched this anime already, please leave a comment of which heroine you like the most (a rank list if possible). Recommended for age 17+

English Translation

You're being yourself and I'm being myself. If we could understand everything about each other...

The seasons have come and gone so many times since that day and even today I'm so grateful.
With our sight set on the other side of the alley our white breaths dance.
Grabbing my hand so hard it almost hurts you pull me along as you move forward.

I wanted to kiss you right away hidden behind the vending machines.
Shyly we stared at each other and the kindness overflowed.

You're being yourself and I'm being myself. If we could understand everything about each other
The two of us would be as one.
No matter how small the happiness I feel we'll be able to find it.
I was able to be kind thanks to you.

Even if I cut my hair or change my makeup you don't notice but
When I look worried you understand right away.
When you kindly ask me "What's wrong?" I'm completely moved to tears.

I look down and hold my knees since you're next to me.
On days like this I can be a selfish crybaby.

You're being yourself. Don't ever change. Even in a timeless future
The two of us will be as one.
Even without things like promises I feel we can trust in each other.
I was able to be strong thanks to you.

Wanting to hold you right away I stop my frozen legs.
Piled up in the depths of my heart is a warmth such as this.

You're being yourself and I'm being myself. If I could take in everything
No matter how small the happiness, no matter how small the joy,
I'll be able to feel them thanks to you.
