| I like this whole arc better than the first. the girl was better, his behavior and fetishes where not as annoying and in general it had a more sweet romantic feeling about it. I don't know why many have a problem with the ending. Yes it was an ending that didn't show anything crazy or a view after 10 years but it was more sweet and cute ending than crazy and sexy like we saw at the first arc. This kind of ending fits more this girl that is not the crazy airhead Haruka was. I don't get what is anticlimactic about it? They created a lovers relationship and confessed there feelings. They also promised to be always by each other and we were shown on how good they are at being always together from little children making us realize they can be good together for there whole life. I don't see what else is necessary really. Ok i admit i wanted to see that special underwear too but lets not act so desperate for fanservice. |

| It was a kinda cute episode and a very nice arc overall. I feel that the next one will be a pain though, Sae seems so shy and uninteresting (and I don't even speak about the dumb klutz Rihoko...). Anyway, we'll see how it turns out very soon. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| cute ending! ^^ But... i wanted to see the 10 years later thing.. D; |
| Kissing and falling asleep made me go MEH. So much for the awesome build-up. I want to see what kinda pantsu did Kaoru wore. |
 |
| man, i gotta say that Santa Costume of Haruka is soo effin' HOOT tsss,.... overall this ARC is a BIG MEHH 3/5 god, i think the next arc is gonna suck the nxt main character is SHY ahh fck but who knows it might end up good still my favorite character: Haruka ^_^ |
  |
| LOL there was a cut scene? i bet it was a sex scene, looking forward to the Blu-ray version =D |
| |
| My initial reaction after seeing the end to this arc was one of mild disappointment, but after thinking about it a bit more, I found to like it and see it as appropriate given the other episodes. For one thing, the episode was titled "Progress," which I saw as pretty much the whole theme of the arc itself, with Kaoru and Junichi slowly realizing their feelings for each other. I suppose at the same time you could use the title to justify having a look into their future, but I was satisfied Kaoru's last statement coupled with the image of the two of them together at the end. Shmeh. Maybe we'll see the future in her OVA episode. :/ As for Sae's arc, her voice may be kinda grating, and just about all shy girls are more or less the same, but still, shy girls are HHHHHNNNNNNGGGG. For me at least. |
| Ha-cha! |
| To people hoping that every arc doesn't end during Christmas.... I think the game always end during Christmas whichever girl you pick..unless they change it up a little |
| It was a normal end. And this arc was kind of cute, but just that. |
| awww no future thing. haha hmmm this are was pretty cute, reminds me of two of my friends. |
 |
| Wasn't "mind-blasting" it was okay, nothing special or new. NEXT! |
| Santa suit for a win lmao! xD Anyways i loved this arc way much better than first one and ending wasn't so rushed up like other arc. |
| I'm, I'm really gonna miss Kaoru. Feels a bit sad, knowing this arc is over. I dont know :( |
| I'd like to everything. |
| Loved this arc. Junichi is cool for saying 'I am uncool' Kaoru is awesome. Sae's arc....hmm hope it turns out to be good, not a fan of shy characters. |
 |
| yeh the ending of this arc was pretty lame i gotta agree. |
 |
| Not as good as Haruka's arc but it was still really good. Can't wait for the next arc. |
| After reading some comments i am persuaded that it wasn't a bad arc, but Rockbound said: either. It had a much different feel than the first, indeed more shy play this round, and a bit of drama as well. The first one we had a million confessions and a lot of time for fetish play.Wasn't "mind-blasting" Another point is i didn't really grow to like this girl (not a fan of the loudmouth characters most of the time). I am looking forward to underclassman though, but we will see. Would be nice to see a shy character succeed for once. |
| Overall, this arc was better, but like most people said, the ending was very plain. In Haruka's arc, we see that their lives together seemed very bright and fun 10 years later. this one, it just ended like any other date night. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| i was expecting some part from the future [like the previous ark , after 10 .. etc] \ well i liked this one too , Kaoru and haruka's arks were fine for me |
 |
| I actually liked the ending for what it's worth; close friends with a cute relationship becoming a sweet loving couple with a whole future ahead of them. It was different from the average or cliched wedding/after marriage time-skip...not to say that motif can't be used tastefully like it did in the Haruka arc. Junichi should have felt like the luckiest guy in the world when he got to see her sleeping face in the same bed, or when Kaoru's in her cow-girl position. I'm really hoping (if any) that they're going to show the (possibly steamy) extra content that was cut out from this episode on the DVD/BD release. So....they're moving onto the less popular Nakata Sae arc now. I'm sure many people like her character, but just as many may also find her character to be a bit plain. I'm one of the people in the latter, but I'll still watch it to see if AIC throws in any more original Amagami SS quirks like they did in the previous episodes. I may even come to like it more than expected....but I won't be holding my breath for the best arc yet of the episodes that have already aired. Side Note: VHS!? yeah. I was more concerned about that fact than the dirty video part. |

| Even though there were no much problem or drama in this arc, I still liked Kaoru much better than Haruka. Goddamnit Junichi you lucky bastard, Kaoru is fuckin' cuuutee~~ |
 |
| "I'll show you something better than stars" Nice. Go Kaoru! |
i was expecting some part from the future [like the previous ark , after 10 .. etc] About "future ends" for Kaoru, she doesn't have one. and to be precise Some girls doesn't have a future BEST End some of those are actually in the Normal and Bad Ends. Here's the Ending Cgs from the game I posted so, you guys know what you're expecting and judge yourself whether you think that the End suits the arc. More to come at the final episode of Sae's Arc |

| @Kaimax: Would you mind explaining the differences between the different ends? (Just for Kaoru and Haruka) It's ok if it's too much trouble. I was just curious. |
| well, honestly I haven't had the motivation and time to repeat and rinse the game to get the normal ends and bad ends. So honestly I don't know. This Cgs came from someone who ripped the from the game. Heck, getting the normal ones and bad ends can be quite hard in their own way, while getting the best is EASY. Oh yeah, normal ends tends to be Less happier than the best end. My "baseless" deduction BEST end: same like the anime, doesn't need more explanation Normal end : Looks like KAoru is introdcuing Junichi to her mother? Bad End : Nothing happens to their relationship. Moved the Haruka pics to the 4th episode discussion. |

| @Kaimax: Oh ok. The bad end doesn't seem that bad to me. I guess the bad end in my mind is worse (like something more tragic). Thanks for the response. |
| Set-up date was pretty obvious but their relationship should progress' But this time the girl take the move (Kaoru) unlike the 1st 4 ep it was Junichi.. Morishima in a Santa claus outfit -hot ~ The atmosphere setup was very sweet -Kissing moment -Snow falling below them -the insert music it was really romantic.. good thing it wasn't that dramatic ~ Watching porn lol *Hot* I'll show you something better than the stars -lol but I wonder if that thing she did was unconsciously.. all in all this is 5/5 (well they started a good friendly relationship to begin with) |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Wow, that was a heartwarming ending. First half of the episode was average, and rhe second half was OMFGWNOWRENGRIUNGAIGNN <3 Still 5/5 cause of the OMFGWNOWRENGRIUNGAIGNN <3 second half. |
 |
| Was good. Well, the next arc will be awful... This voice... Looks like i'm going to watch the next arc on mute ^^ |
 |
| I was expecting more.. But I still like it. |
     |
| Not a bad ending to this arc. But I preferred the first one better. |

I don't see what else is necessary really. Ok i admit i wanted to see that special underwear too but lets not act so desperate for fanservice. The point why most of us didn't liked the ending, because we didn't saw their future, maybe after that confession something happened and they broke up, so I couldn't call that ending, I would say it was middle of something, dunno if anyone agrees with me, but I missed to see what happened after that confession, so I wanted something like "10 years later" I wanted to see them happily married or something similar, but they just ended like that, how disappointing , fanservice - I don't think it has something to do with the ending. Just my 2 cents. First the vast majority of romantic stories ends when people get together, they don't show you 10 years in the future. Why do we suddenly need ten years in the future? Just because it was made in the first arc? And in the same way you wonder if they could break up in the future, married people could get a divorce. So by that aspect you never see an ending. If all arcs did the same 10 years future thing then it would get redundant. Wondering for the future of this two people together actually seems like you weren't paying attention since the arc showed very clearly that we are talking about two people who already know the bad and good things about each other. They know how each other really is and not only the nice face people put at the beginning trying to impress the other. So it seems very logical that if one arc didn't need the 10 years into the future thing,then this would be it. |
| sweet ending for me. Haruka in a santa suit was cute. |
| I dunno about you guys, but I quite liked this end. It was so heartwarming, and quite funny too. Overall I give this arc a 5/5. It was so sweet. <3 Next arc... OH GOD HER VOICE!! It makes my ears bleed. |
| At first I was like ヽ(￣▽￣)ﾉ. But then I was like ┐(￣ー￣)┌. |
| hmmm while if i had to choose between the two i'd still pick Haruka. I like how they did the whole confession scene for Kaoru. It somehow seems to be alot sweeter compared to Haruka's~ So far this series hasn't disappointed me. They've handled the whole ominbus format pretty well |
 |
| I definitely liked this Arc better than the last. In my opinion it was better paced then the last one. The ending might not as been as funny as Haruka's arc, but it was good. I still don't get why they keep showing him kissing some part of the body....it seems pointless. However, I enjoyed it more than the last one. Haruka Arc: 6/10 Kaoru Arc: 8/10 |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| The episode was nice, but the ending was a bit... weird. Just a single picture while Haruka had a small epilogue... |
| Why..how...what? >.< How could you ever fall asleep while kissing? -_- |
 |
| At first I thought I would like exploring each heroine in her own arc, but now I dislike it. The fact that the show resets every four episodes means no character development, and then each girl is cast aside two a line per episode after her arc. I just hate watching everything start back at square one. |
| ^Putting it that way, it kind of feels like Higurashi/Umineko (More Umineko than Higurashi)... Though of course not plot-wise ^^; |
| 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. |

| Do you want to know why They Chose the Omnibus Format rather than ye olde generic harem anime? 1. There's NO heroine interrelation, NOT EVEN IN THE GAME this means that in the original NONE of the 6 main heroines Knew each other futher than knowing their names and class. IF they forced a generic harem story, it would be a mixture of bad story telling, since IT NEVER EXIST 2. IN THE GAME Junichi never mentioned any other females in another female route It's the same with point one, INTERRELATION between heroines NEVER EXIST 3. IN THE GAME, developing all heroines route = BAD END where you won't even be with a girl, because THERE IS NO INTERRELATION between heroines, since you would spread your available event days (30 days, 4 time slots) into many girls, which mean you can't focus on one girl to even get the BEST ending. tl;dr You Can't ADAPT something that DOESN'T EXIST |

| Haruka Arc: 8/10 Kaoru Arc: 7/10 I wish they showed a 10years later thing for Kaoru's arc. Can't wait to see what happens with the next girl |
