Vanilla pudding Amagami SS is an anime adaptation of the dating simulator, that is, toys for PlayStation. Not my genre is definitely and if I knew this fact in advance, I would hardly select for viewing. Which is great because I liked it overall.
Judge for yourself, life is a lot of opportunities and ultimately a choice. Once we decide, we choose one that becomes our reality and our path. And few people have ever thought about how our lives would have turned out, so make a different choice. The main character of this anime Junichi Tachibana has a unique and tempting opportunity to try and live all the possibilities, and only we have to compare them and evaluate them. The series consists of six arches of an alternate story, each dedicated to one girl with whom Junichi strikes up a romantic relationship.
Despite the numerous reproaches of the public in the noughtiness and grayness of the main character, I still do not agree. Yes, he is a statistical high school student who survived a teenage drama in the form of a girl who threw him at Christmas, is moderately withdrawn and even sleeps in a closet, having converted it into a home planetarium, reads porn and exchanges it with his only childhood friend. He is not handsome, not popular, not athletic, not talented and does not even have superpowers. And yet, I like it, and not just me. After all, every girl found something attractive and special in him, with each he was attentive, patient, responsive, each managed to help, each conquer. But they are so different: the popular and decisive beauty of Haruka; the “right” and secretive manipulator-awardress of Tsukas; the naive and gullible simpleton-fatty-sweet tooth Rihoko; the assertive and impetuous “his boy on the board” Kaoru; the kawainy and shy big-breasted Sae; the sports and harsh swimmer Ai; and even the real stalker Risa. Yes Junichi is just lucky, and how diverse and exciting his life has now become, previously locked in a closet that many young people will envy him. I was trying to imagine myself Paris, in order to figuratively give an apple to the most... I couldn't, everyone's good. Perhaps only Tsukasa’s falsehood and duplicity and Risa’s suspicious behavior disgusted me.
The rest of the series is pleasant, I liked the drawing of the characters, especially female ones - without the inherent excesses in the figure, close to reality hair and eye color, leg length, breast size. In general, a very calm and soothing color scheme, disposing to slowness, rest and peace. Calm and non-aggressive romance of Christmas holidays, gifts and air snow. And, of course, not without humor, for the most part very loose.
Evaluating in general - one hundred percent girl anime. My look.
