Been a long time reader of Ani-nouto so was a bit surprised to see Author with some strong bias towards loving Amagami, and the consequent strong objection to “the haters” [1]. He makes it sound (a bit on irc too) that it’s common decency to like it… no thanks!
Amagami reminded me a bit of how K-ON played out — cute girls doing cute things, but this time the romance aspect gets thrown in. Add the seiyuu fanboys and I can see why there’s so much love but I’m not surprised people hate it too. It feels like there’s some correlation (re: my small sample set has a near perfect correlation) in fans and detractors between the two, but that’s for the indoor cats to pursue [2].
Looking at one Zait’s posts itself, I couldn’t say Omo was so fervent, but few can match Kurogane. The subsequent post is a bit more touchy, Chaos Tangent goes a bit too far but it’s fun to see people come out with stronger conviction as a reaction. Anyway, speaking of the ratings improving for the 3rd episode, perhaps fans of the game had an inkling of coming events — a cursory google search tells me the “dog scene” was not an anime original.
Well, I just hope he wasn’t admiring a reflection in a pond.
[1] He could at least watch it first.
[2] Of which I am one (the hypocrisy does not burn as much as it should).
After all the divided opinions, I can only say one thing: I need to watch it in order to formulate a based opinion. Of course it will be biased according to my personal taste but that’s just my opinion man, and at least I’ll have arguments to prove why I liked or disliked it.
It’s also sad that zaitcev pulls an ad hominem on ChaosTangent (hurrr he has a Sankaku news ticker, his opinion is invalid). I expected better from zaitcev… although this is not the first time he’s done that. Anyway: Firstly, Sankaku dares to report stuff that no other japanese culture-related blog does, so sometimes their articles really are relevant (even with the strong emphasis on ero Artefact adds); Secondly, maybe he added the ticker for the lulz?
(But Sankaku Complex is still shit so yeah)
1. Sakaku sometimes reports stuff that is misleading or factually incorrect, not because nobody else dare to report it. But they do have people posting interesting things on a regular basis so kudos to that.
2. Amagami has a target audience. People who hate it is just not it, really simple.
I can see why there’s so much love but I’m not surprised people hate it too.
Same. Unfortunately I don’t get the hate (since I’ve read like 2 posts so far, and the above aren’t them)… take it for what it is, and who is doing the characters I guess. It’s some lulz if you ask me, and I eyeroll, laugh, facepalm the whole way.
Yeah, as long as I don’t bring even a modicum of seriousness with me, the series plays out well enough to watch.
Also, the little sister grew on me despite attempts to resist. Did not want D:
I think I’ll stick through to the end because I’m a dirty seiyuu fanboy and I’ve had the twintails arc recommended. (Also personally hoping Rihoko — the last girl — arc is good.)
