Amagami SS episode 17: Rihoko's arc!

I seem to be recovering quite nicely. I would hope so since….TMI I apparently threw up everything I ever ate ever. It is like I have a new start XD A fresh empty stomach start. So now I can just…keep on going to work and trying to catch up on my blogging? Go me.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! See I am getting in the mood.

So it is time for another Amagami SS arc. This time it will be Rihoko. So I am going to guess that it is going to be 4 episodes of fat jokes, fat references and Junichi accepting a fat girl. Which is going to suck because I think Rihoko has been the nicest girl so far.

Also I shall blog this episode while watching America’s Next Top Model. That way Rihoko’s average (or even lighter than average frame) will just look GINORMOUS and I will finally see why Rihoko needs to go on a diet. Because I am not seeing it people.

That is how I feel every morning too.

Episode Summary: Rihoko is thinking back to two Christmas’ ago. I know, not Junichi for once having a pity party. This takes place right before the dumping. Junichi decides to ask Rihoko on a date….to pick out a present for his super secret date. Rihoko goes along but is sad since she is in love with Junichi. FOR REAL PEOPLE. Kanae, Rihoko’s friend, gets Rihoko up and out of the house on time since she is special. But Rihoko ends up being late anyway because she forgot her gym clothes. On the way back to school she has to slip through the fence because going to the main gate would take too long. Only Rihoko gets stuck going under the gate. Junichi walks by and makes fun of her apparent weight gain. After teasing her Junichi gets her free…and then uses the hole in the fence himself. There is a gym scene with Rihoko not doing so well. She actually made it over the bar which I personally couldn’t do. Kanae thinks that Junichi is a jerk but Rihoko defends him since he is a childhood friend who saved her from being stuck forever.

Warning only eating three rolls for lunch WILL make you fat.

At lunch Rihoko is eating some bread but this apparently makes her fat. Rihoko then decides that she will go on a diet…tomorrow. But Haruka and her friend come by and Rihoko is jealous of their figures so she will go on the diet now. She goes to give the rest of her treats to Junichi who then picks on her about the whole diet thing. She promises that this time it will be different. Rihoko’s diet doesn’t go well when her Tea Ceremony club members bring her treats. When they learn of her diet she runs off with a treat in shame. Junichi and his buddy have another perv magazine and are dodging Kaoru to look at the pictures.

Whatever I love treats too.

After picking on her they walk home together. Junichi sorta questions why she is going on the diet. They then think back to their childhood but Rihoko thinks of Junichi as being nice to her and Junichi remembers being mean to her. But he sorta wishes her luck on her diet. As she gets stuck on the slide. And weighing herself at home doesn’t go well. She then tries to exercise but gives up after stretching. The next day Rihoko is super late to school again and tries the hole in the fence. Only this time she fits and she is super happy. It turns out that Junichi made the fence hole just a little bit wider so she could fit and be happy. AWWW. Maybe. Rihoko has renewed faith that her diet will work this time and her friend cheers her on. THE END!

MOG PEOPLE! I was RIGHT. I can’t believe this episode was all about Rihoko being fat. How did I guess that?!? Because it has only been obvious for 16 weeks now that Rihoko was going to get this treatment.

Just bleh people. Bleh.

Also America’s Next Top Model didn’t have their newest episode up. Because they are haters. Go Predators!

Even though I think this show is a C- at best I thought Rihoko’s arc was going to be one of the best. And really she has the best back story out of ALL the girls so far, even Kaoru. XO And I liked Kaoru so much. So I am really disappointed that she isn’t going to get an interesting storyline. Not that Junichi training someone to be a waitress was interesting either. I just don’t like the whole diet angle. Which may not be so strong next episode but I doubt it. -_-

I was waiting for this!!!!! Finally!

But yes Rihoko has actually liked Junichi for a while. A childhood friend who has liked Junichi for at least two years. Probably longer than that. And we all felt Rihoko’s pain when Junichi asked her out only to pick out a present for his Christmas date. Of course now I have more of a reason to hate Junichi now. Stupid blind jerk. You don’t ask someone out on that special day to get a present. That and you already should have had a present. But should he get points for knowing it would be better to ask a girl’s opinion on presents?...Maybe he just breaks even.

Photobucket

Such a happy childhood.

BUT YES PEOPLE. I think this back story is the cutest/most realistic/most…expected so far. We want to see the childhood friend who has been pinning for the same person all these years. It is romantic. And sad I guess. Not some oh I have known you for two weeks and NOW I love you deal. That I don’t like. So I guess I like people suffering? Interesting.

Really Junichi is bigger than her so how did HE fit?!

I thought Rihoko trying to squeeze through the gate and not fitting was almost cute. Almost because yeah it still picks on her weight. But had she been doing it right she might have made it. She needed to get lower to the ground so her butt was sticking up in the air. That and her boobies are pretty huge. So yes it was slightly humorous.

Photobucket

Well I guess that was nice...

And even though Junichi was a JERK about the whole diet thing I thought him cutting down the fence so Rihoko could fit through was nice. Bordering on AWWWWW. Rihoko might be a little slow in thinking it was her…stretches that did the trick but Junichi boosting her self esteem was really nice. Girls need a lot of self esteem boosters, especially in high school. So while Junichi might be a pig and part of the problem…that was nice of him to do.

Photobucket

Look at that, trying to help her friend in the romance department. AWWW.

I am going to like Kanae. She is a little harsh, doesn’t sugar coat things, and a little eye rolling when it comes to Rihoko’s behavior. But I can tell she is a good friend. She makes Rihoko gets to school on time. And when Rihoko is way too late she takes over her cleaning duties. And despite probably not liking Junichi very much (I wouldn’t either if he never looked at my friend twice in a romantic way) she is trying to help Rihoko be with Junichi. So I like her. Yay for a good friend.

Photobucket

Yeah...air diets...

I think diets are hard. I am sure Rihoko has said she is going on so many diets before and that is why people don’t believe her. But yeah if I had a baggie full of treats I would start my diet the next day too. I would pack myself less tempting snacks. Haters need to stop hating and be more supportive. Even if this is the 1378675th time she has gone on a diet.

Photobucket

They made her take them!!!

And really was she not supposed to eat the treats her Tea Ceremony Club members brought her? That would have been RUDE! Of course just one would have been polite enough…but still. It’s like these people are setting her up to fail. XO Rude people. But yeah the Tea Ceremony people are still coming across as a little strange. Not as X_X as last episode. But they probably do have reason to worry about the future of their club.

Poor Rihoko. :(

Um what else did I like? It is hard to say with all the poor Rihoko SHE IS FAT going on. I like that Junichi didn’t leave her stuck in the fence. I like that Rihoko gave Junichi her treats. But I didn’t like him shaming her when she was eating her treats alone. And these two boys need to stop with all the porno magazines. Bleh.

Stay tuned for another episode of Rihoko is totally the hugest person ever. Because a girl who isn’t smaller than Barbie is obviously in need of a diet. Great message Amagami SS.
