I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Well, it wasn't the real Sasami-san her otherself. I didn't expect that. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Niku singing for the ED song was quite nice. huhu, I think I realize that I am bad at Japanese mythology. 10hour after the show aired and the forum looks empty 0.0" What happen to the Sasami Moe~~~ |
| The mystery of the this forum maintain dead due to sub problem . This prove that even the subber drop their jaws after watching this episode lol |
| dropped. cant stand this show anymore. |
| Gotta love the Sasami Watch project. Found this episode mildly entertaining, will keep watching. |

| Wow. Holy shit. That was GREAT! |
| Tama-chan protected the aliens ^^ the ED :) finally she sang the song |
 |
| It's getting better and better. |
................................................................................. |
| deredere Sasami singing the ED was too funny. This may be the first and last time we see that. Anyway, the episode was funny and unconventional like always. |
| Check out the News Club for daily rankings, discussion on future CD and BD releases, manga and novels. New members are welcome! |
| What the heck did I just watch? lol, not only is it random, but they actually take it seriously. When people of the shrine and the goverment and UFO and robot came along, things were really crazy. It's so random that it's confusing, but it's still fun to watch and that's what makes it funny at times. 5/5. |
 |
| Can you imagine how the novel reads? "And then a UFO crashed into the building from which Tama emerged holding an alien. A bunch of army guys then came and fought those shrine guys who cover their faces." Sounds like something I randomly type out when I get bored writing an essay. |
 |
| ^ Since Japan mythology are not so popular among the youngster, its a bit hard for us to understand how this Anime work ... Shaft have nothing to do with it, I seen some people understand the story very well even without reading the original LN . |

| all for fun.fun for all |
| lol fucking hilarious episode and a lot of random plots on it |
| It's already fourth episode and I still have no fucking clue what I am watching. I mean, yes, it's made by Shaft and shit, but seriously. |
| So random. And random in bad way. |
| Is Sasami-chan being jealous in the beginning there?? LOL Dem cam recorders. The world is always watching. Well, this is once again Shaft being ...Shaft especially with the randomness and those absurd moments. Cool moment time:  What a disturbing stalking fun episode. I'm surprised I enjoyed this one a bit more than I thought. Shit went down. And that song at the end? L |
 |
| I laughed my ass off when the audience at the VA stage show revealed themselves to be shrine ninjas and the VA girl was revealed to be (or replaced by?) Sasami's father. |
| Ara ara. |
| Such a pity this series’ CHAOS and confusion is too much for some people. Despite the time consuming I think I will once again produce a nice layout as to each part and references I caught. The episode itself was a massive mix up kind of FLCL to bring to point Sasami’s Sarcoma out and heal her along with exposing the father’s true character. However the richness in this all is only when one truly explores it and I really found it fun. About the references, there are over 15 of them and I can tell you that all of them had some minor interests from them. In the list:
Other than that interesting to know of Kagami: -Electromagnetic spiritual waves from a satellite in orbit -Altering Conscious thoughts aka Kagami can. Especially the altering power. That’s AMAZING! So much can be done with this power. Now on to the part thinking. About the beginning, loved it mainly due to the setting being taken as the sun sets down. The room was dark and despite this is the fake Sasami being in fact Sarcoma that separated itself from her and cloning into being Sasami, it was quite easy to fool the view with it. At first I did think it was porn what Fake Sasami found however it was nothing but a DVD showing some interesting stuff. Tsurugi on the chair reminded me of the many anime poses of other people in other series. Mainly a little Gilgamesh on his throne in Fate Zero. About the project, at first I find that Tama was quite stupid as her character says of going with Aliens knowing she could be very dissected. However with her appeal she gets to enjoy the ride instead. Kagami shined a lot with her poses of MOE at 5:56. About the spying of Sasami in the bath and her room. The bath part impressed with what Kagami achieved. However the room part was much more MOE and appealing with how Sasami was shown and her reactions of rather in heat suggested kind of types. The hand part was gross as usual but do tell me something with this: http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2042/gg_Sasami-sanGanbaranai_-_04_4D5B88AFmkv_snapshot_0905_20130202_055032_zps38098f68.jpg Are those BIRTH CONTROL PILLS????????? I see some weird box there. Could it be them morning after pill? If so then WTF and nothing more. About inside the Otaku anime store, well it shows quite well how it is when you go inside of it. What’s interesting is that it’s a real store that does business and it has a lot of choice. Quite fiercer In the competition and has lots of floors for various things. So the choice array is large. However it showed well of how ridiculous price are for naked stuff and how they DO CARD you for 18+ stuff unlike some rumours like: http://myanimelist.net/anime/8769/Ore_no_Imouto_ga_Konnani_Kawaii_Wake_ga_Nai Spread over the adult games. Well in the store it’s hard compared to the Net. It also showed variations it offers with the show that all danced around. About the father, the person is one nut person! With what he does in the following,  WTF? O_O I RAGED MAN! At first I though it was a joke and that she would be fine but as I found THAT was the real Sasami! OH THE RAGE! When I think of the bleeding she got. The father is on the hit list. The man is out to kill Sasami to get that power. A father that is willing to kill his daughter is not worth being a father. On the opposite he is the worst scum! About the HELL ASSAULT! It truly was one heck of a saving of Sasami there. Kagami referred again back to Saikano with her wings and Gatling gun. While Tama was the best! FAILED UFO flying and making a whole building go down not to mention lots of road damage. That UFO must be made of type of crazy ass hard metal. It was quite amazing how Tama knocked off those damn henchman of the father. Serves them right. Sasami was a PAIN to see near death or being in such a state. The S.W.A.T./Army was so PRO it’s amazing. Sniper rifle, bazooka that fires memory wiping gas? Really? WOW! That’s amazing! And a heavy gunship with a helicopter. Tama got herself the C.I.A./F.B.I. after her most likely. They would want the Alien for the USA to study it. About Sarcoma becoming a living being, if anyone know the part of the 17:52 mark of WTF it does refer to, would be nice. It’s for sure a anime reference of some sorts. I do remember seeing the setup before in some other anime. But yeah that was WTF O_o due to the lump being able to evolve. I assume with the God powers it had, it would be easy. About Tsurugi confronting the Fake Sasami, so apparently THAT LUMP grew out to be Sasami and as a matter of fact copied her shape exactly. Well considering he was living with her all the time, it would be the easiest. In thee end Fake Sasami was not let off and worse off wanted to act alone while using this power she had to ruin and use it for the good IT though it would be right for. While Tsurugi seems to want the power contained. Rather strange but I understand the power is far too dangerous. What surprises the most is that Tsurugi despite her status WAS ABLE to take the powers of the Supreme Ruler. Could Tsurugi be a more powerful God than Amaterasu himself? It’s possible but then who is she of the all powerful beings? Despite that it takes quite a lot to even contain the Supreme powers of Amaterasu himself. So that impressed and even more how she affected Sarcoma-san after. About thee end, with Sasami’s part I conclude that Tsurugi saw that Sarcoma killed off lots of lives to get what it wanted while Tsurugi acknowledged Sasami as instead when causing trouble she does not go further nor is power hungry to use her powers. Unlike Sarcoma who was the opposite. Other than that I have the feeling Sasami is just being used by Tsurugi as a containment vessel for the powers of Amaterasu. Perhaps went wild and must be contained for good as there is nothing to calm his anger? Might be a good reason. About Sarcoma’s faith, lost all his powers. Lost the association to Sasami’s body. Not much is left for him. However what becomes interesting is that Tsurugi’s powers got that person into a MOE white bunny! How adorable! Well it’s fine like that and better off for Sasami. No more hand and the need to contain it. While she still has her powers. About Tama’s end, it seems all the forces lost against her. Tama surprised with her brain in at least acknowledging that humankind is not ready for the Aliens. I AGREE we are not even IRL. About preview, one can only hope things are more stable with Sasami’s hand torn away and done with. Remains to see indeed how she continues to live on. |
| Wonderful randomness. Thanks for that massive post above, I wouldn't have noticed the knight poses for example, gotta concentrate more.. Also, am I the only one digging the OST? The one during UFO-on-the-road part reminds me of some wicked psychedelic rock. |
| The dialogue in Sasami-San is bad. Really, really bad. Like Boondock Saints-level bad. |
| I Write About Anime (and other stuff) At Standing On My Neck |
| great lulzy ep as usual. |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| I gotta say I didn't enjoy this ep as much as the first three but the show is good and I will keep watching. I don't really understand the hate this show gets to be honest, it's pretty typical Shaft stuff and if I was to hand off any bizarre twist on mythology to a studio they would be the obvious choice. They're doing a great job. |

| @Yumekichi11 I don't know how you have enough time to research and write all that. Seriously, must have taken over an hour. You do that so often too. |
 |
Kerozinn said: dropped. cant stand this show anymore. You're not alone, my friend. This is by far the worst show I've seen from Shaft. Nothing in this anime clicks with me... |
 |
| Guess some people just don't like the randomness. Whateves. |
| Shaft sure is creative , that's probably the reason why I'm still watching this . And it provides quite a nice AMV editing material , so that's a plus too ^^ |

I get it that SHAFT like to fuck around with their shows but I've got no idea where this mess of an anime is heading. Ugh... |
| Tama chan the alien saviour despite her behaviour she act surprisingly matured at times even fighting government agency's to save aliens. That priestess from the shrine i have a feeling she will join Sasami at some point and leave the shrine. And now the father of Sasami was introduced as well he seems pretty persistent to get that power back. |
| LMAOOO @ the concert part, that dude in front was going hard with dem pro dancing moves, I died there hahaha. Loving this show so much. |
 |
| "I will not accept anything other than incest!" Well thats something you dont hear every day lol@ the Idol being her father in disguise xD |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |

Gash_V-D_Hetchum said: I really don't understand why this show is so unpopular. Every season, literally, every season, so many people complain like hell at how generic, repetitive, ecchi/harem shit, whatever other reasons, most anime are. Now we get this and its too much for them to handle. I for one, thank BASED SHAFT for this wonderful anime. I rarely agree with you but this time I have to. Sasami-san is an episodic action-ish slice of life set in a fantastic setting done ala Shaft. This isn't a show with a mind blowing story nor is it a generic battle anime where one enemy will pop up after the next. Even if wild, the show managed to stay coherent and bring a dynamism and a chemistry that close to no other anime manage to do. I agree that this anime is not for everybody; those that stick to convention and those with a closed mind might find the show appalling. Even if one was to accept it as it is, it might simply not coincide with their taste. GuiltyKing said: What is this show even about? I get it that SHAFT like to fuck around with their shows but I've got no idea where this mess of an anime is heading. Ugh... This show is about the everyday life of a group of people centered around Sasami, bearer of the power of the goddess Amaterasu which can change reality according to Sasami's will. It's only the fourth episode and I could already write much more about this show's characters and setting than I could for most show last year. If you didn't enjoy the show up to now you ought well to drop it since it's pretty much set to continue being this way for the rest of the season. |
 |
| 6.92? Really? This show seems so divisive and im not seeing why. I haven't been lost as to whats happening every since they began explaining things in the beginning of the second episode. |
 |
| So many "I don't know what to say" scene in this episode. This show is fun, yet so crazy on so many levels. Aliens, Doraemon magic door, and jimmy hat ( didn't even know this term exist), and even the special forces appear. In the end, it was the arm who watched the video, and then turned into a rabbit, while Sasami gets her power back from Tsurugi. |
| Signature |
| Just when I thought the show couldn't get get anymore weirder.. Logic. Wuttt. |
| I have mixed feelings about this show, but well, at the very least it's entertaining me. And Sasami is adorable. |
| ah this is getting increasingly irritating. there isnt a stable storyline lol. sad to see amazing animation/art collaborate with a weak story |
| this is my god damn signature. |

Just starting to write essays in school? You've got a long way to go, kid. Nope been with all those for years now. |
|
| Man do I like this series. It's so unaccustomed to traditional Anime series even on SHAFT's level. The pacing jumps from normal to episodic in a moments notice and the Anime is self aware of it's lack of cohesion and it's audience's reaction to it. The icing on this cake is that the Anime totally doesn't give a f00k about either; ROFL. Plus all these traditional "Anime fans" getting butt sore over something they can't come to comprehend mentally or emotionally only adds to my liking. |
