this one should have been posted about few weeks earlier, but procrastination as well as heavy-gaming has had the best of me as of lately :P but so anyway, amagami ss is another anime for the summer block aside from shukufuku no campanella that is pulled in from a game, as well as spiritually succeeding another romantic enterbrain-entree kimikiss which was produced [ and aired ] about 1-2 years earlier by j.c. staff. with that said, amagami ss has pretty much retained the [ almost ] similar look and feel of its said predecessor in the anime context, thus maintaining the atmosphere and the exact feel both series had mutually shared.
like kimikiss, the story is rooted very deeply in the romantic foundation, although with less to little drama written in as of current. the whole series took in a 4 episode-per arc kind of approach, with each arc focusing primarily on its respective heroine while others made supporting cameos throughout without meddling in too much with the leading pair of the current arc[s]. the storytelling were exceptionally fast-paced for a romantic series, and each arc will conclude itself by their respective fourth episode; frankly said, amagami's approach in storytelling is kinda new to me [ although i slightly remember having sat through 1 or 2 series which adopted a nearly similar approach as this ].
so as far as episode 07 goes, only 2 of the girls [ haruka morishima and kaoru tanamachi ] has been focused, touched and elaborated upon as of now, while others [ as mentioned in the second paragraph above ] has made their presence seen and felt over time. but still, even in their supporting parts, much knowledge can be gleaned and learned from these yet-to-be-highlighted heroines in regard to their very personality and quirks, and this is among the many aspect of amagami ss that i loved the most x3

[ i see a lot of sunset shots being used for the summer anime block ]
the character design is very lovable, or perhaps i should mark them as splendid... and i will not be asking for any more better than how it is as of now. just as expected from aic, definitely. the overall art direction, as well as visual execution is remarkably top notch [ according to my eyes and preference, as of now ] and it seems that a handful of budget were pumped into making this series a possible success; certainly is an admirable effort from the production team that resulted in a job very well done.
