If my avatar doesn't indicate it already, I've been very excited about the Amagami anime ever since it was announced, and I must say that I am pleased with it so far. When I started the first episode, I immediately got a flashback to Clannad, and that's not a bad thing. I'm a sucker for romantic comedies, so this was a must watch for me from the beginning.
Anyways...as for episode 1, I found it very interesting that we began on a sour note of sorts, which is probably where the Clannad flashbacks began.
I felt for Junichi right away, because I know what's it like to wait for someone that will never come. I just wonder if we will ever meet the girl that betrayed him, and I wonder if it is one of the 6 main girls...hm...
Anyways, Junichi seems to be a solid male protagonist so far. He has his faults, he's a closet pervert, and he actually has some confidence, which is rare these days. Although I must admit that I found him extremely cute when he was blushing around Haruka.
Speaking of her, she is very amusing to me. I knew what she looked like before the series began, and was thinking that she might be a stuck up, tsundere type of popular girl, but I was pleasantly surprised. I adored the fact that she made up a cute nickname for Junichi,
, and fawned over cute things, because that's my weakness as well. I also found her enjoyment of water to be extremely appropriate. Her hair is wavy, like the ocean, and she has an easy-going personality, and is spontaneous and fun, (like how she jumped on top of Junichi-sexy, btw!)
She also wasn't very phased by Junichi's confession, and just went on with the flow, so to speak.
I was most excited for Kaoru for this series, but we shall see as time goes on.
I liked how we saw a glimpse of the other girls, and I hope that we see plenty more of Kaoru's antict's with Junichi's best friend when we get closer to her arc.
I just wonder how Junichi is going to recover from his rejection of sorts...
Anyways, it was a solid start, and I'm glad that this series finally got started.
