Ai is love

...Well. You know how I said that I only fanboy over one and only one character, the ever-so-perfect Yuki Nagato?

It's quite possible that another character may join this exclusive list.

Amagami is an anime that deals with the age old problem of compressing many routes of a VN into one timeline of anime in a unique way. Every four episodes a girl is pursued then the universe resets to start the next arc. This is because there is no 'true' girl in Amagami, every route is as canon as each other. One of the many side effects of this format is the drastic personality change of the main character, Junichi Tachibana (hereafter referred to as JT) to better fit the arc. So far there has been three arcs, three girls, and three JTs:

• 'Puppy' JT and Haruka Morishima. Haruka is possibly insane, and JT, bless him, reciprocates by acting like a dog. Fetish Fuel: Kissing the back of the knee.
• 'Rival' JT and Kaoru Tanamachi. Bro Arc. Sexy hair. Humorous denial of feelings. 'I'll show you something better than stars'. Fetish Fuel: Making out with a belly button.
• 'Instructor' JT and Sae Nakata. Shrinking Violet. Fourth wall is broken in an attempt to spice up the most boring arc. Fetish Fuel: Between the toes.

But I"m not here to talk about them, as you might have realized. I'm here to talk about none other than the seriously sexy Ai Nakasaki. Yes, that's right. The anime hasn't even focused on this character, and what we have seen of this character is seriously minimal. Anime-wise, Ai is just a satellite character so far.

So why am I gushing over such a character? Well, apparently I am genre savvy enough to recognize a character I would like from a few seconds of animation. I just didn't know how much I would like this character. But she was appealing enough to make me skip to reading the manga as the anime was taking its time to reach her arc. That in itself should have been a clue, as I did something similar with Nagato-san and Disappearance.

And oh, boy, if the anime was half as appealing as the manga was, I would be a very happy man.

• 'Awesome' JT and Ai Nakasaki. Dialog made of win and awesome. Kuudere. Awesome scenes both funny and sexy. Fetish fuel: Ai Nakasaki

Admittedly, Ai is not as awesome as Yuki, being, you know, human. But she makes up for it in pure sex appeal and snark. They both even have awesome character songs.

So, Ai's inclusion into the fanboy list is a great possibility. Kaede from Angel Beats was the last contender up for nomination, but she lost points in her later episodes for losing some of her independence.

So, Ai, are you up for the task of being comparable to the likes of Yuki Nagato? Only time will tell as your arc comes around.
