Amagami SS #8

It now seems pretty obvious that the opening credits are telling us the order of the girls' stories. While I enjoyed the risque setting of Christmas Eve here, the most intriguing scene for me was the cameo of Haruka. I wonder if we are to infer that because she didn't end up with the protagonist in this timeline, she ends up with her female friend.

As for Kaoru, one angle that would have made a better story than the one we got would have been a triangle between her and the two guys. That makes me wonder if in another timeline we won't see her end up with the other guy.

But with only 4 eps each, there is no time to do a proper development of any of them. I guess we just have to dial back our expectations. OTOH, don't you think these stories are a bit more like real life? I mean, we are all here because we loved MI, but think about it. Stories like MI (and all of Adachi, and KOR, and ...) would be a bit sick in real life. The idea of two people failing to speak to each other about a shared feeling over a period of years seems a lot less likely than that they get together in a couple of months, which is what the Amagami stories are.
