Friendzoned FOREVER? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Basically this is the reaction from all the viewers after the concusion of Rihoko’s arc. In my opinion, Rihoko deserved better. How come all the other girls win Junichi over and childhood friends lose most of the time? Why can’t it be like Kanon where the childhood friend wins all the time? It’s really sad since she had a really good friends and a cute personality… I feel sorry for her since she would probably be lonely for the rest of her life since her relationship will be nothing more than just friends.
Overall, Rihoko’s arc was okay, but the ending seems more like a melancholic ending more than a happy ending seen with the other girls. Sure it was enjoyable with loli Miya, Rihoko’s clumsiness and Junichi’s perverseness. Sadly, she didn’t succeed and I think Junichi doesn’t deserve her because of it. Shame on him!
Hopefully Tsukasa’s arc will make the show redeem itself from its poorly executed arcs… Otherwise, I have nothing else to say.
Overall Rating
7.5/10. C
I was pissed when Rihoko got friendzoned in her own arc. I mean, what was AIC thinking? =
And of course, the arcs being poorly executed… things would’ve been better if each arc had at least one extra episode to make better development and there’d be less chances for such ass pulls.
The Rihoko arc went well beyond christmas and even into Valentines day, yet she STILL gets friendzoned. WHAT THE HELL. =
This is pretty much the weakness of the omnibus format… While you can have everyone’s ending, I feel that the story format Amagami used not adequate to cover the girls’ arc in good detail. The adaption feels rushed and the endings are meh. If they are given 48 episodes (8 episodes per girl) or something, it would have been better… but yeah.
But yeah, I was very disappointed that Rihoko got friendzoned… I guess Japan does not like their childhood friends. 🙁
