So why am I here tonight when I was planning on doing some major blogging on Sunday? BECAUSE MY MOMMA LOVES ME! She decided to bring ALL my trees upstairs, find all my ornaments, and do 90% of the Christmas decorating for me. XO What a lovely surprise to come home to since that takes HOURS to do. XO So yes people I love my momma! Thank you momma!
Oh and I can’t do the other 10% because my husband is taking apart the house to hang up his new flat screen TV. Happy Black Friday ya’ll.
I know this will end well.
So first on the list to catch up on is Amagami SS episode 20. Let’s see if Rihoko’s arc ends with happiness and sweets!
Hi maybe you could kiss our friend now or something?!
Episode Summary: Kanae is not pleased to learn that Rihoko has made absolutely no progress with Junichi since New Year’s Eve. Kanae offers to help again but Rihoko says she rather wait. After all she has been waiting for 12 years!!!!! After being picked on for not following her diet Rihoko spots Junichi eating his lunch so Rihoko takes the opportunity to get picked on again. After school Rihoko and Junichi wait for the two seniors girls. Turns out they were late because they were trying to get Haruka to join their club. Something to do with puppies. Only it failed and Rihoko is looking like the only member still and it is starting to make her sad. The senior girls are like Junichi JOIN THE CLUB but he doesn’t despite the fact that Rihoko is so, so sad. Rihoko is then seen making some sort of pastry for Valentine’s day. She is all happy and such.
I don't see you handing any boys chocolates!
Miya and her friends are making chocolates at his house and he is told what a loser he is for only receiving friend flowers. Junichi tries hanging out in the Tea Club but it turns into the seniors trying to set Junichi up with Rihoko. Junichi’s friend can’t even beg his way into friendship chocolate so what a sad panda he must be. Rihoko gives her chocolates to Junichi and tries to find out who he wants to receive chocolates from. When he doesn’t give an answer seasons chhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhange. Rihoko is seen trying to get new club members and dieting. Only she fails at both. When the senior girls graduate it is very sad and they have a moment where everyone has tears. Then Junichi walks in and is like it’s okay ladies, I will join the club!!!! So tears turn into happiness ya’ll. Sometime later in the spring, when the freshmen are trying to figure out which clubs to join Junichi and Rihoko host a tea ceremony. The former seniors return to pick on Rihoko and try to nudge Junichi in the right direction. In her closing speech Rihoko admits that not much progress has been made but one day. ONE DAY PEOPLE! The end….
WELL THEN PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!
This arc was so awesome. It was about two best friends who found love in the end. The slightly bigger girl (meaning a size 8 apparently) got the guy. They had dramatic experiences and the boy saved the day and in return he won the girl’s heart in the end. YAY FOR HAPPILY EVER AFTERS!!!
OH THIS IS SO SHOCKING!
Only that didn’t happen. Didn’t happen at all people. Except for the saving the club part that anyone with half a brain saw coming about 5 episodes and this arc was only 4 episodes long.
You gave it a good try Kanae.
I really like Kanae. She gave good advice, she knew when to back off, and she always wished Rihoko all the best of luck. And for Kanae I will overlook the diet comments because sometimes best friends are supposed to be annoying. It might come off rude to me and you but sometimes best friends need to tell each other rough stuff. Like girl those pants make your butt look huge kinda things. But she wasn’t laying it on think in front of Junichi and was trying to support her friend in the best ways she could. So I really like Kanae.
Actually Rihoko had really nice friends. GROUP HUG!
That and I think Kanae was just as disappointed as we (well me but I am sure others) that Rihoko didn’t get the guy in the end. Cry with me Kanae.
This all makes sense....
I am not really going to dog Rihoko on her slow pacing with Junichi. Because if it took her since kindergarten to get this far (which I guess is the handing out presents stage) her trying to make a move on Junichi from the time period of New Year’s Eve to Valentine’s Day was pretty low. However in her senior year she really needs to step up her game as they aren’t necessarily going to be together in college.
Ruriko and Manaka trying to get Haruka to join the club was stupid. And a huge waste of time. But I thought the puppies were cute?
OH WOULDN'T THAT BE TERRIBLE?!?!?!
Really I don’t understand the drama with Junichi not joining the club and things being up in the air. We all knew he was going to join so I think it was kinda rude and almost like torture to put Rihoko through all that. Like she is busting her butt (or…you know doing what Rihoko does) to save the club when HELLO there was someone all along that could have joined the club. Useless I tell you
But maybe Rihoko saw Clannad or something. Maybe that is why she was so worried.
Rihoko making chocolates (well sorta chocolates anyway) was sweet. Not the typical anime scene since Rihoko has made chocolates for Junichi before so she isn’t all nervous in the corner ready to be rejected.
This is about all the happy ending you gonna get so enjoy.
HOWEVER people….just disappointment all over my face. In all the other arcs Junichi has started to have feelings for the girls and this point Junichi should have blushed when he received the chocolates. But no people. He just ate them like any other food Rihoko makes him. Because Junichi has not progressed at all. He still sees Rihoko as his friend, as someone who will give Junichi “obligation chocolates”. So Rihoko suffers quietly and Junichi doesn’t look like a loser since he received at least one chocolate.
Someday somehow
So a few months later when the seniors graduated and Rihoko and Junichi are running the club…no progress has been made. Rihoko still hasn’t told Junichi how she feels. Junichi hasn’t taken the hint from everyone that Rihoko likes him. And there are no new members yet (which might change after the Ceremony but who knows). We got Junichi blushing when people say they make a AW cute couple comment but that is about it.
Um thanks I just want a happy ending okay. And not that kind.
Some people have said that Rihoko’s arc is more realistic. That all the girls have gotten together with Junichi and this mixes things up. Well people why couldn’t they do that with Ai’s arc? We have seen tons of animes where the best friend gets pushed aside for the interesting new girl in town. And to add insult to injury we have the best friend WHO IS A FATTIE. SO FAT PEOPLE. DON’T WE FEEL BAD FOR THE FAT GIRL?! She will never get a guy but will have doughnuts to comfort her in her hour of need.
Really people? Was this the best arc to break the cycle of the girl not getting the guy?
Was this arc worth it? On one hand there is the hope that Rihoko will someday get Junichi. That all the events of the past 4 episodes will help her have enough courage to tell Junichi flat out how she feels. That this is a more realistic outcome, that sometimes it takes more than two weeks to land a guy. And that really Junichi is pretty stupid.
Why does everyone pick on me?
On the other hand…Rihoko was the nicest girl so far. She genuinely loved him since forever. She was sweet and caring and she got nothing. Nice girls finish last? I don’t know, I am disappointed.
We are almost done folks. Apparently this last arc is the arc that everyone has been waiting for. How crazy will class representative be? Stand tune to find out. Peace out Rihoko, you lost obviously.
