Amagami SS Season 3: Premiere Date, Plot, Characters

‘Amagami SS’ is one of those dating sim adaptations that take a slightly different approach towards the Harem genre. It tries to take the same route as the visual novel and brings six different story arcs where the main male character ends up romancing six different female protagonists. As refreshing as this approach might feel, it is weighed down by the shortcomings of the inconsistencies in the style of all the different arcs. Despite having a pretty decent runtime of 25 episodes, the anime’s focus on many different stories starts to negatively impact the development of its characters. If you watch the episodes in chronological order, you’ll notice that the only character who develops well throughout the anime is the male protagonist. But if you treat all of these short stories that have to be enjoyed individually, you might have a good time watching it.

When it comes to the animation side of it, though the characters have typical personalities, they have been designed really well. For the most part of it, it just looks like any other show of the same genre but that does not necessarily imply that it is substandard. Music is one of the better aspects of the show and is only played in the backgrounds if necessary. Though again, it’s a little generic, it still fits in with what the anime is trying to portray.

Overall, ‘Amagami SS’ is an average anime that is a slight anomaly in harem genre. While the efforts are appreciable, the four-episode arcs prove to be too short to involve any significant character development. This just leaves you with an anime that is nothing but a time killer. So if you’re just looking for something that is enjoyable but lacks any kind of deep themes or characters, then this is the anime you should go for.

Amagami SS Season 3 Release Date: When will it premiere?

‘Amagami SS’ Season 1 premiered on July 2, 2010 and with a total of 25 episodes, it came to an end on December 24, 2010. This was then followed by a season 2, titled ‘Amagami SS+ Plus’, which premiered on January 6, 2012 and went on till March 30, 2012. ‘Amagami SS’ is a high school slice of life show that has been adapted from a visual novel. Like other visual novel adaptations, even this one has several alternate stories that cover all the parallels of the game one by one.

‘Seiren’, aired from January 6, 2017 to March 24, 2017, is another alternate version of the anime which is not exactly a direct sequel of the events of season 2 but partially acts as one since it’s set after the events of ‘Amagami SS Plus’. When it comes to a direct sequel of the series, at this point of time, it seems very less likely since Studio AIC has not made any claims of renewing it. Also, it has been quite some time since its season 2 premiered so the Studio may never really look back at the anime again. Even then, if we get any confirmed news regarding ‘Amagami SS’ Season 3, we will certainly update it here in this section.
