PS stay tuned for a list of new anime otaku home will be watching this up comeing winter season as well as reviews of what we have yet to review this season

its the 25 and that meens its christmas

so i figerd why not celabrat by doing a review on a anime the revols pretty much aound christmas and by that i meen amagami ss yes i know i was doing reviews for each arc and thows are still on thare way as soon as curt gets off his ass and wright the ones he sed he was going to but for now lets go with this


most of you probly now the basics of the story by now but for thous that dont her you go Two years ago, Tachibana Junichi got his heart broken by a girl who didn't show up for a date on Christmas Eve. Now a second year student in high school, Junichi spends his days inside his closet planetarium, going to school and hanging out with his friends Tanamachi Kaoru and Umehara Masayoshi.

After a chance encounter with one of the most beautiful girls in school, the third year student Morishima Haruka, Junichi finds himself spending time with her, carrying books for her or having her unexpectedly jump on his back and act as she's a jockey and he's her horse. Soon enough, Junichi becomes romantically interested in Haruka which leads to...

Amagami SS is based on a PS2 dating game featuring six different girls. The story of the anime is arranged in an omnibus format, with each heroine getting her own version of the story animated. Each heroine will sing her own version of the ending theme song.

now with that out of the way let me get into my thouts on the show i like the show its rely good not the best love story in anime (not by a long shot) but still worth a watch but thar are sum problems and one of them is the format one arc per girl was a nice idea but the constent reset of the world gets a bit tiersum after 25 eps and thars no reson for the reset in the anime like in higarashi thar was reson for the constent reset after a arc but in this anime its pretty mutch like ops this girls story is dune lets restart and tell the story agen with a difrent girl this mechanic works in dateing sime games becuse it give the player a chuse on witch girl to go after but in a anime its like being forsed to reply a game to get all the endings sum people like that i find it bathersum

now my second gripe with it and thats the hole the closer to the MC(main cariter) you wher the worst the ending you got and the less you new him the better ending im not going into detal on this but its sumthing that become painfully oveuse pretty erly on and it alows you to gage what type of ending each girls going to get

now that i got the problems I have with the show let me get into the things I love about it first off the cast is great each one of the girls has a certen sumthing to them that makes thare arcs fun to watch wether it be harukas im gana do whatever pops into my head that seems like fun or rehoko's i whant to diet but I love sweets so mutch hell even the cast memebers that dont have arcs are fun like junichis sister miya shes a riot thow her lauph gets on my nervs arter hearing it for a full arc and umehara is just a fucking bro all the way thew evryone has sumthing to them thats fun

the music is good i love the op's and endings (all 7 of them)and the BGM relly helps the mood along the art isint rely mutch to brag about but its good and the story telling for each ark is good as well i cud see any one of this arcs being abel to streached into a 12 ep serres over all i give amaghami ss 8 kisses to random body parts out of 10

Went to Harvard Square with my fellow Otaku Home staff

Thats right Curt aka cloudsora messaged me the day before yesterday asking if I wanted to come with him and Rich aka Aareate, and Alan(not a staff member) to Tokyo Kid in the Garage Mall at Harvard SQ. Of course I said yes, me being out of school and taking some personal time before I begin hunting for work as a photographer I had the time so we met at 1:30 today. Well that was the plan if theres one thing that makes me worry for Curt's future it's that even if he's making the plans he has the innate ability to be late (though not by much). So we get on the train and head in, nothing worth while happened on the ride in just us talking so Curt started playing his new MGS Peace Walker for his new PSP (lucky S.O.B.).



So anyway when we got to Harvard SQ we headed right for Tokyo Kid and god do I love it there! We don't really have that many anime specialty stores here in MA which is always a bummer but the ones we do have are nice and Tokyo Kid is definitely one of my favorite stores (its just to bad whenever I go I never have as much muney as I'd like to have to get the MG models). Well I myself had $30 on me today (from selling the Beck manga I don't read to Curt) so i couldn't really get much but I did manage to get some stuff I've wanted. First off a Celestial Being phone strap from Gundam 00 which is all I got at Tokyo Kid but after that we went to the Newbury Comics next door where Curt proceeded to buy (6) almost every boxset in the store (including some I'd love to get my hands on myself) because they were cheap (120.00 exact) but I did manage to get something there; the first 3 volumes of the Chobits anime and if you were to ask anyone that knew me they'd tell you I love chobits and clamp in general so I was happy when I got these.
