Elite60 said: Shaft does it again! I wonder why Sasami is unable to go outside? Everytime she steps outside, she faints and ends up back at her bed. She is Jitaku Kebi'in after all. Outside is too bright, hot, noisy, anyoing!! The content of ep 01 was too weird! |

| WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK DID I JUST WATCH |
| If one thing is for certain it's that all characters in this anime have issues. The little sister that is so spoiled that she doesn't care about anything the big brother who is so obsessed with his little sister that he doesn't care about anything else. The teacher that plays eroge at school and defeats evil gods with her little sisters and one of those sisters appears to be a elementary schooler with a adult body. It was interesting in a way. |
| WTF did I just watch? I knew I was going to see something bizarre coming from SHAFT, but this exceeded my expectations in terms of "bizarreness" |
| Yup this is definitely SHAFT's work. |
| I realy like this amime~ I can't wait to see what happens next |

I guess the ranking still isn't updated with the new scores. maybe tomorrow we can see the true average score. --- Anyway... a 7/10 episode? Completely confusing, but I was very entertained.

| It was really pretty weird oO The brother looks like a weird pedophile too... Oh well it was nonetheless pretty fun ;p |
| I lost it at the Hare Hare Yukai. I never felt so raped in my life before... 5/5 |
| I enjoyed the chocolate puns when Sasami was browsing websites. However when the outside area became chocolate-infested and the girls were battling them with boob missiles, it started to get quite mundane to watch, like a joke that should have stopped a while ago. Sasami herself didn't make any meaningful connections with me, although I assumed that from her unmotivated, lazy attitude from the first scene. I guess her brother always having a concealed face provides a hook for me anticipate with in future episodes. I'm not a fan of the powdery, misty style of Sasami's room but I can deal with it. Animation was of great quality, I was surprised at how they decided to show Sasami's clothing change in one continuous shot, her movements were really fluid there. Love the redhead character too. |

IMO Sasami's computer has the powers of: http://myanimelist.net/character/251/Haruhi_Suzumiya where the computer itself project Sasami's desires. Most likely linked to her brother and in this case the chocolate IMO was somewhat of love desire for her brother perhaps? Just guessing here but yeah that computer can make anything out into reality. Thinking of it as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanorobots with lots of them changing all around suddenly. Anyone else thinks of Sasami's computer as something like that? Personally I think it has something to do with Sasami, the delusions that she has when she goes out must have something to do with the way the computer snapped. |

I'm hoping they're not just gonna use the quirks for the sole purpose of being quirky. So far I agree with this one bit of speculation from the link you provided: Alternatively, Onii-chan could be Tsukuyomi (and that means Sasami is Amaterasu). Well, that would make a lot of sense–in that case Onii-chan having problems with chocolate might lead to also the chocolate madness, since he would have god-powers. In that case Onii-chan covers his face to indicate Amaterasu banishing Tsukuyomi (thus creating day and night in the Shinto creation myth). Also if one recalls the legend (though I could be wrong here): didn't Susanoo use the three objects (sisters in this case) bring out Amaterasu from her cave (Sasami as a hikikomori) to bring "light" upon the outside world? If that's true and they do something with that idea, judging by the references and theories being made regarding the connections it has to those legends, hopefully this can turn into something much more than just being a random "WTF" show. ^_^ |

| My mind is unresponsive after watching this. What the... |
 |
| what the fuck did i just watch. |
 |
| That was so weird, but I freaking loved it. |
| tbh, I'm getting tired of all this weird sibling relations and this the worst I've seen by far. I don't like the characters and I think I missed all the references. I'll give it two more eps... |
| what the hell i just watched???? really confusing as f*ck.. but interesting to watch.... typically shaft anime.. lol yeah.. but it's good... certainly will watch more... |
 |
| Reminds me of Jinrui with more action. |
| "LOL WHAT?", was my reaction to Episode 1. Definitely got that SHAFT touch alright. Beautiful and abstract scenery is what I love in an Anime but aside from that I could barely make heads or tails of what this was trying to tell me. Gotta hand it to SHAFT. Always walking that fine line between incomprehensible gibberish and absolute brilliance. I think I'll like this, have no idea what transpired in the last 25 minutes, but I think I'll like this :) |
Here is a bunch of info most people seem to have missed now some are just additions to what was claimed again. Perhaps I might make it easier with pics to understand things.
There is also the question of the creator whom is: http://myanimelist.net/people/5157/Akira Now upon seeing, I got pleased by the following fact: http://myanimelist.net/anime/3577/Kyouran_Kazoku_Nikki He made that anime and it was one heck of a insane THRILL RIDE! That’s all I am going to say. Man the elements were as wild as this first episode for all 26 episodes. I loved that series for its random and am pleased to see that he made this series. Now S2 of Nikki would be a good step next for him. Needs a good closure or a new start again. Way too cool series. If you did not see it! NOW IS TIME! I recommend and ecchi levels are not even as bad as this series. Means there is about the same level or less. |
ronri said: I dunno if people realized this but to quote someone from Random Curiosity: Tsurugi, Tama und Kagami refer to the Imperial Regalia, i.e. the sword Kusanagi no tsurugi which was used by the god Susanoo to slay the many-headed serpent Yamata-no-Orochi, the jewel Yasakani no magatama and the mirror Yata no kagami which were both used to lure the sun goddess Amaterasu out of her cave to illuminate the world again. Sasami and Kamiomi’s surname is Tsukuyomi. Amaterasu, Susanoo and Tsukuyomi are siblings and the gods ruling over the sun, moon and night, respectively. For all we know, this could very well be some bizarre take on these legends depending on how they play out the characters' respective roles. I'd hazard a guess that Amaterasu is Sasami in this case since she's the sister of Tsukuyomi (who in this case is probably Kamiomi) and the fact that she's a shut-in hikikomori (the equivalent to Amaterasu's cave). This was a really nice post and a great catch by you, it makes alot of sense that it might be something to do with what you are saying the opening obviously had alot about gods in it also a shrine maiden. Sasami and Kamiomi were also dressed in some form of tradition clothes (shrine clothes?) Alternatively, Onii-chan could be Tsukuyomi (and that means Sasami is Amaterasu). Well, that would make a lot of sense–in that case Onii-chan having problems with chocolate might lead to also the chocolate madness, since he would have god-powers. In that case Onii-chan covers his face to indicate Amaterasu banishing Tsukuyomi (thus creating day and night in the Shinto creation myth). This could also be quite possible as well but it looks like this anime could be an interesting take on old Japanese gods and legends with a mix of a strange version of a Haruhi like god thrown in. I am leaning towards Sasami being Amaterasu considering she cant leave the house and harshly chased out Yagami sisters from her home. I got to learn more about the sword Kusanagi no tsurugi and the god Susanoo considering Godou in the Campione! light novels gained the sword as his own and has met with Susanoo, he has also been talked about quite a few times also Japanese legends were used in recent volumes. I did like how the 3 sisters body sizes are reversed with the oldest being the smallest and the youngest being the tallest, im pretty sure Tama is meant to be a elementary schooler considering the red backpack. Though considering they are probably not human i doubt they are the ages they represent. |

| Shaft always manages to have the most obscure shows. They somehow make it work though (most of the time). |
| I am not entertained, but I generally dislike those random shows. I had never liked Haruhi too. Odjing said: AwesomeCamper said: Pretty generic so far. But I like it. Yeah... No, just no. I found the episode to be interesting. If future episodes are going to continue to be like this one, then I'm going to continue to watch it. I am going to ask, but what is so original in this show? it is definitely random and it is definitely a one big acid trip. Despite few small things (like brother holding bag in front of his face), all of those things are nothing new. |
"Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time."  Whatever I write is most likely my opinion, which is based on information I learnt, not universal truth. You may disagree. MAL forums are more entertaining than anime themselves. |
| Does anyone know what japanese otaku think of this show? I mean, this seems like stuff that works better with japanese people that are more familiarized with the cultural references. Ocidental people will need more research to understand. ronri said: Mary_Vanucchi said: http://omonomono.com/2013/01/12/sasami-sanganbaranai-episode-1-conjectures/ I'll just leave that here. --- Anyway... a 7/10 episode?

Well, if the speculations are correct we can have this: Mary_Vanucchi said: So we might have an interpretation of japanese mythology based on a modern, hikikomori and SHAFTed perspective? This is getting more interesting. And frankly, even if SHAFT shows aren't the most original stuff ever, the way they present things can be very refreshing. I'm not a fangirl of the studio (I just know Madoka and Monogatari series from them) but I dig their direction. Their objective is make things different; it can be good or bad and surely it will always be loved or hated, but I do support their efforts. |
| "Like this too we met in a dirty and ugly world; Thank you for this miracle." |
| Totally gonna continue watching this show and lol at the siscon brother XD. |
| This was really, really strange, but it still made more sense than Tamako Market's plot. I guess things will be explained later, this was very interesting and I'm looking forward to more. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| I was not prepared for this. |
| I saw the synopsis for this series a while back and thought it would be ok (only really looking forward to 3 things this season) but now i've seen this i am in love with it!!!! If it is this nonsensicle and rediculous the whole way through (which it probably will since it's shinbou) it will become one of my favourites ever. I think im in love with that director :\ |
| Glorious and lush in a variety of ways :> |
 |
| Okay, let's see.... What the hell was that??????? A frickin' siscon that always has his bag on his face, change his sis's clothes with style, dances hare hare yukai!!! A girl who can't do a single thing, possess Onii-chan surveilance camera (military-level), puke when goes out of the house!!! Boob missile???? WTH?? The world turn into chocolate!!!! And finally, the sweet sexy pose of Sasami the chocolate!! Nice!! An interesting yet weird & unique episode, can't wait for the next episode!! |
| Signature |
| DAT KOI TO SENKYO TO CHOCOLATE REFERENCE! Anyway what's with all the recent brother's love anime? |

Yumekichi11 said: About Sasami’s fan service, when she appeared in the following,  I would have devoured her. It was sexually enticing. Her ass is perfect for its size. Makes you want to bang it. Chest is also not big so perfectly normalized. Rest of the thoughts follow in my club. My thoughts exactly. Also the Hare Hare Yukai by onii-chan was great. xD |
| That scene where Sasami was changing left me mesmerized. |
