I mean he treats Christmas like his mom fucking died or something. YOU GOT STOOD UP ON ONE DATE WITH A GIRL YOU BARELY KNEW. GET THE FUCK OVER IT YOU PANSY ASS BITCH.
EDIT:[/b] Also there's a significant lack of drama in the game it seems, at least not enough to translate well into Anime, so they have to hype up a lot of stuff. Blegh.
-No one ever said that the girl that stood him up was a "girl he barely knew" This fact is never shown in the game either
(hint : Risa's Secret Arc) And everyone has his/her trauma/faults/weakness, laughing at one doesn't make you even batter.
The result in His trauma, is probably because he really loved this girl, and was expecting a nice Christmas date, and from the looks of it both him and the girl that stood him up, was actually on good terms. The fact that even though they were in good terms, broke his heart, because she never called him, or even tell him that she can't come fro the date. In one perspective he was flat-out rejected, but on the other we never knew who this girl and what happened to her. (once again Risa's Secret Arc) There was no fact that the girl doesn't like him, it only comes from his assumptions.
The problem is is with your
Overestimation for the anime itself. I don't know what kind of "drama" you expected, but it must be very over the top.
Amagami is well known for it's
light drama with light hearted romance, with some slice of life in it, it doesn't have heart-wrenching plot twists. In the game itself, even some of the BAD END, can actually be seen as a "Postpone Good End". All of the drama are adapted well into the anime 100%, there's no editing and originality. some of them are mixed result from 2 different scenarios in the game.
He's just not entertaining like Tomoya, for example. Even his side-kick friend is just kinda lame...
When one starts to compare things, this is where they get biased. Tomoya never had problems with love and girls. He's only problem lies with his family. Junichi never had family problems, but he has problems with love and girls till the level of Traumatic experience.
Comparing Sunohara and Umehara, is a completely wrong thing to do. Sunohara was made purely for comic-relief for the viewers entertainment, The comedies in Clannad is always over-the-top. While Umehara is made to be just your Best Male friend that understands the heart of his best friedn Junichi. He's not made for heavy comic relief. and in the end Sunohara and Umehara is not the same character.
Being normal doesn't mean it's lame. it's just that you compare characters that doesn't have the same role in an anime.
