The only bad thing that this anime leaves in the person is the longing and sadness that it ended! What a well written work! And, regarding the continuation of the stories, Haruka's was the coolest and the one with the best dramatic writing! In addition to being my favorite character for being the prettiest and funniest, she conquers anyone with her friendliness and charisma. Sae in second because her development after dating was very high and well written too. Even showing what happened between them in adult life. It was certainly the cutest arc. Tsukasa's arc was also very good and was the most complex ... with a big plot right at the end of the first episode of the season. Kaoru's I considered weaker compared to the first season but it was the most adventurous arch by the couple. I found the arc strange because the character was libertine at times but at the time of intimacy she was a nun, unlike Ai's arc who continued shamelessly in intimacy which appeared to be something more natural, in the end but for me it was the second worst arc again because both didn't have that much chemistry with the protagonist, thus, losing only to, precisely, the arc that I wanted the biggest development because in the first season there was NO romantic development AT ALL and again [SPOLER DE LEVE] (despite being a spoiler light it was obvious that the romance was going to happen so I won't even hide it) it left a lot to be desired, even though they got to make it official at the very end! [END OF MILD SPOILER].

Risa, who had the enormous sin of appearing in only one episode and who had the potential to be the best character in the series, does not even appear in the second season, except in the first two arcs serving as a stalker for the couples, to appear only in the 13th ep.

And here's a tip: the last episode, the 13th, has no story, and nothing interesting. It's just a slice-of-life fan-service of the girls going to a spa house. So if you want to skip it, do it without hesitation.

Mixed Feelings

Amigami SS+ is the sequal to the anime Amagami SS adapted from the visual novel Amagami. Season 2 is not adapted from the visual novel unlike it's predecessor, and mainly focuses on the continuation of each girls relationship with the MC Tachibana Junichi. It tells the story of how Junichi tries to continue his relationships with all the girls despite Ai's anxiety caused by him preparing for college, Sae's lack of time for him due to her being focused on the cultural festival, Haruka wanting to get married after her graduation, Kaoru wanting to further extend their relationship and take that next big step, Rihoko ... still unable to express her obvious feelings for him and Tsukasa running for student council president, all told using a 2 episodic format allocated for each heroine. First of all the second season is better than the first season, it has more interesting arcs and some really wholesome moments here and there, now granted the first season does have those as well, but that one was a lot more cringe and annoying to get through. Don't get me wrong this one still has cringe moments and that dreadful final panservice episode that was absolute unbearable and cringey to get through , shit was probably just mixed in to cash out, hell if you're making 2 seasons of anime based off a visual novel then you definitely need to cash in other wise that's a failure for the studio. Let's talk about the cringe moments next, there are still here, a lot less than the first one but still here, incidentally the first one had some moments where I had to pause and come back or take a quick break in order to get through certain episodes ahem ahem Sae arc and Nanasaki end ahem ahem, but fortunately this season wasn't like that despite still having cringe moments it wasn't unbearable that I had to pause or take a break to get through episodes, this one felt a lot more comfortable and entertaining unlike it's predecessor. Finally though this anime was decently entertaining by generic harem romcom standards, it is still a generic romcom that was only made because the first one succeeded back at it's time, but honestly for me this second season didn't have a necessary purpose for it to be made, it was only a cash in from the studio's part, hell the story was just an afterstory of characters with a already decent ending that many romcoms would die for instead they're out here ending with the characters too shy to confess to each other jeez this why is the genre is ass and we only have a few good ones, anyway as I was saying not to take anything away from this anime but honestly there's not really much to take away about Amigami hell the two seasons weren't good they're mediocre at best, and this second season is completely unecessary in terms of story fr we didn't need to see this but they still made it cause they needed more mulla hmmp whatever. Also I forgot to mention but the animation and the artstyle are the same, the characters are also the same, furthermore there is no new character development with the girls since they all just stayed with Junichi anyway and we already confirmed thats what going to happen in the first season.





Pros:
-More entertaining and bearable
-Less cringe moments
-Couple of decent afterstories for Haruka, Kaoru
and Tsukasa
-Kept the same animation and artstyle
-Has some fluffy moments





Cons:
-The return of your favorite perverted beta male no personality MC Tachibana Junichi
-Cringe moments are still here
-This sequal didn't need to be made since the story was already done, and the only purpose of Amigami SS+ is fanservice and to be a cash grabber
-Cringe af and annoying episode 13 [ if you're going to watch this anime stop at episode 12 thank me later]
-No new character development
-Garbage OP and ED




Overall Amagami SS+ is a sequal to a run of the mill harem romcom, that only exists to be either fanservice or to make more money, though it is better than it's predecessor because it has less cringey moments, made 3 arcs more interesting plus it does have better more memorable instances, not too mention really fluffy scenes as well. Even so being slightly better than Amagami is not really a achievement that this second season should be proud off. To all of you who are looking for some romcoms to watch I don't really recommend Amagami SS and Amagami SS+ since they're you're run of the mill harem romcoms, if you are looking for some really good visual novel adaptations you outta try Clannad and Clannad afterstory, Higurashi, the fate franchise and Steinsgate. If you're looking for good romance anime then you can try Sakurasou, Rascal does not dream of bunny girl senpai, Your lie in april, School Rumble, Ore Monogateri, Kimi No Todoke, Romeo X Juliet, Clannad Afterstory and Maid Sama. I give Amagami SS+ a 6/10 for my overall anime rating, Cyranical signing off.

This review covers Amagami SS+, as well as the first season. It is also spoiler free.

Amagami SS is a series that tries to play romance in a different way using an omnibus format. Unfortunately it fails to deliver engaging, interesting, or otherwise fun stories for the viewers.

Despite the low rating I'm giving this series, I wouldn't say I hate it - I just find it incredibly boring.

STORY:

This is a romance anime in an omnibus format. If you are not familiar with that term, it means that there are many girls and many arcs, and each girl gets her own arc. You can think of each ... arc as a parallel universe because they have their own endings and there's no continuity between each arc.

Anyway, Because of this, it's hard to rate the story as a whole, but we can talk about the arcs on average. Each arc is 4 episodes long in the first season, and the second season has continuations to each arc that are 2 episodes long. Unfortunately none of the arcs are really that interesting. Everything always goes well. They don't really take the time to develop any kind of drama, and if they do, it gets resolved really quickly, failing to justify the length of each arc. The romance is poorly done in each arc - it just isn't interesting. In fact, there's situations when it can actually be creepy and overdone. And one thing that is particularly jarring is that the arcs take place in the same timeframe every time, the main character has the same backstory in all of them, and they always end in the same event, with it just playing differently. You will probably find yourself rolling your eyes each time they repeat what happened to the main character at the beginning of each arc.

The humor falls on its face most of the time. It doesn't come off as natural, and it just follows the typical troupes you would find in a romance comedy anime. There are some exceptions to this, but in general, the humor is not well done.

ART:

The one thing that can be highlighted from this show is the art. While this part of the review can only be objective, I really enjoyed the character design. The girls just look really cute, and the backdrops are detailed. They didn't slack off in this area.

SOUND:

The sound is nothing special. If you have played VNs, you will notice that it has that same "type" of music. In the first season, each ending was sung by the main girl of the arc. Sometimes they were OK, sometimes they were average. They were never BAD, but I wouldn't say music was this anime's biggest department.

CHARACTER:

So the character design is nice, but I have mixed feelings regarding their personalities and interactions. I think most of the characters, other than the MC, can actually be pretty likable on their own, but everything falls to the ground when they start interacting with each other, or at least when they interact with the MC. I wish we could see each character do their own thing a bit more often without having to involve the MC so we can get a better idea of what they are like. Many characters have good backgrounds, interesting personalities, and hobbies. But we can never see that because the series doesn't take the time to develop each character. When one of the girls show up, the MC is almost guarantee to be with them, and if they don't they aren't doing or talking about anything important.

ENJOYMENT:

Ultimately, how I rate an anime is mostly decided by how much I enjoyed it. It can have the nicest art in the world or the most bombastic music ever, but if it wasn't enjoyable, it's rating will go down.

And Amagami SS fails to deliver any kind of enjoyment. With the comedy failing to deliver, the romance being so poorly done, and the character development being boring and mostly non existent, I found myself checking how much left of each episode was left when I was watching it. This is never a good sign.

OVERALL:

I sincerely find it hard to justify a score bigger than 2. The biggest problem with this anime is how the arcs develop and they always end up being boring. If you want to watch a romcom, rest assured the market is full of them, and only watch this when you have exhausted all your options.
