Don't believe the hype of the "Omnibus Format" unless you like seeing the same person (the male) doing the same things but just with different females. Yes the girls have different characteristics but the guy doesn't and he falls short of having any real substance to him.
I *really* wanted to like Amagami SS. The romance side of the story would have made for an interesting full season.
The Art was very good. A crisp feeling with well drawn characters.
The main problem for me is that at the end of the 17th episode I just really didn't want to watch the same guy doing the same things anymore. It was so tedious to watch this character, who doesn't have much character!, that the prospect of watching him doing the same shtick for another 8 episodes made my brain crumple up into a little ball with a white flag sticking out of it that said "Please! No!"
After all the fanfare and great reviews I really tried. I tried so hard that I actually put it on my "hold" list for about 2 months. When I went back today to look at that list I decided it was time to drop it. I've finished some hideous anime series over the years but just couldn't force another minute of this one.
I really wish I could have liked it.
Maybe you will?
If you find yourself around episode 6 or 7 wondering if you should go on... don't. Just drop it and find another anime.
