Amagami SS 20: It’d Be Nice…
It took her a total of four lifetimes, four resets to get to where she is now, and yet Rihoko is still somehow swindled out of her Best End. I am usually one who can express his feelings through reaction images, but after staring at my folder for an hour, there is not one image that can be used to describe my dismay at how the producers have blatantly given Rihoko the shaft, and not of the Junichi variety, mind you. Perhaps it is the producers way hitting us where it hurts most, as Rihoko's unrequited love for Junichi may, in some way, reflect our own experiences. Either that, the producers are venting their own frustration for being friendzoned themselves. Up until now, I have accepted the producers' handling of each arc, as even though they have taken quite a few liberties, we were ultimately given the best possible ending for each girl. This sudden U-turn was a low blow of course, as I jumped the gun into thinking that the childhood friend archetype had finally won. Sure the ending may have implied the possibility of an off-screen, soon-to-bloom romance, but denying Rihocchi her much deserved outcome even in her own arc is just too much.

sad rihoko is sad…
November 23rd, 2010 - 12:08
hahaahahahahahahahah oh my god hahahahahahaa
November 23rd, 2010 - 12:33
Rihocchi is now almost as sad as Sacchin.
November 23rd, 2010 - 12:33
Someone(s) in the anime production have been harshly rejected by their own osana najimi it seems… Can’t think of anything besides revenge against lost RABUs to condemn poor Rihoko like this.

We’ve been had!!

Junichi proposes to her with a ring in a pastry in her Good End if that comforts you
November 23rd, 2010 - 14:08
I think one-sided love is not bad in my opinion.
November 23rd, 2010 - 14:45
Perhaps I’m just hopelessly optimistic, but I thought the ending was really sweet and hopeful, though a bit disappointing. They’re a de facto couple by the end, it’s just implied that they’ll get together during their third year of high school. Don’t shatter my illusion.
November 27th, 2010 - 07:21
I’m trying to comfort myself the same way. Obviously they’ll get together in the end, right?
RIGHT? :(
November 23rd, 2010 - 20:00
Damnit!
She deserved more than that!
Baaugh, how can that idiot Junichi not see how cute she is!?
That aside, watching this series feels as weird as watchign Higurashi. Seeing the relationships that were developed being stripped away so harshly gives me a wierd feeling, like a mix of wonder at all the amazing possibilities in life (Well, in a pretend life better than anything I’ll get) and of depression that he can’t just have all of them. OR STICK WITH ONE, FOR FUCK’S SAKE. STOP RESETTING FAGGOT.

Why is it always the nice and kind people that get friendzoned?
I don’t understand how society works nowadays…

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/amagami_precious_diary/v02/c016.7/ Manga to save the day! But I guess that doesn’t change the fact she got bone in the anime.

Oh, so you watched Mr. Shin?
Haruka: Hotel-night party.
Kaoru: Sleeping with your honey.
Sae: Your slave forever.
Ai: Hot springs, naked, need anything else?
Rihoko: Friendzone, friendzone!!!
“Someday my feelings will reach him” that was a low blow colonel!
Thanks for your post Mr. Shin.

Just want to say, the lingerie the girl in the third screenshot wears is really sexy.

@hafizan89 – sadfrog.psd
@lelangir – May the despair and sadness of rejected childhood friends weigh upon you for laughing
@Setsuna-san – I think they can start a club now, along with Manami.
@Yaku – @DFC – Curse the producers!
@SnooSnoo – I would have loved to see it animated too
@yamada – Not if you’re the on losing side.
@ExecutiveOtaku – I want to believe too.
@Wasabimilkshake – Despite how it turned out, I actually like the omnibus format, as if this was a standard harem anime, Rihoko would have been sidelined by the 5th episode like Manami from OreImo. At least Rihocchi got Junichi to give her *some* attention
@cryskolt – This is why we can’t have nice things.
@TroytheSkull – Not enough 2D chubbies in the world.
@Lectro Volpi – Thank you for sharing the pain
@Yi – It’s actually a night gown, but I can see how the straps make it seem like lingerie!

Totally agree. Not even poor Moby Dick deserved to be swindled out of her deserved shafting. Especially since she’s the girl who tried the hardest to get it.

Since when have you cared about the outcome of a “fat” non-loli character with giant melonpan?!
