This show still really needs moar trap. Heh heh, clumsiness. That scene with the banana was funny, but really I wonder where that banana thing actually came from? That gag is probably older than time itself. I searched google and someone else wrote this (here): The “slipping on banana peels” myth dates back to the turn of the century, when bananas were [...]

「少年少女」 (Shounen Shoujo) "Boys and Girls" It's a shame more people don't check out other genres of anime and see what they have to offer as this episode of Sasameki Koto was absolute gold. I'm often asked what I see in yuri anime and accused of the obvious, but I can definitively say it's for unexpected screenplay such as this. They took a whole different spin on the trap bit by having Sumika go on a date with "Akemi", thanks to his bro-con little sister Manaka.

Sasameki Koto takes place in a land of almost perpetual sunsets, golden skies and scenery aflame with oranges, all the while impressionable young girls stand in front of illuminated classrooms blushing with possibility. The series lays in thick and fast and doesn’t ever prevaricate as to what the majority of it will [...]

The wallpaper making bug bite me again (writing series impressions of mediocre shows is so much fun ). For awhile I’ve been wanting to figure out a way to make wallpapers out of screen shots that could be used at all three sizes that I make wallpapers for and I think I [...]

Ayahi Takagaki’s delivery of, “A banana peel?!” had me cracking up so much. My oh my. With each episode, I appreciate that much more how the comedy — silly as it is — keeps Murasame grounded in regards to her struggles with love of Ushio. It sounds strange, because the comedy is so over the top, [...]

I’ve been ready to write my impression post of Kimi ni Todoke for some time now but I felt that I was lacking some sort of needed angle to best describe how I felt. I wasn’t quite sure what it was, I thought maybe I needed another show to compare it to, like I just [...]

「二人の夜」 (Futari no Yoru) "A Night Together" Well that was unexpected. The second year senpai from episode one, Nishikigi Chizuka (Hayami Saori), wants to make up with Ushio all of a sudden. I couldn't help but feel sorry for Sumika in this situation, watching Ushio spend a night over at her place for some emotional "best friend" support while still unaware of her true feelings.

I don’t know why, but I’m REALLY liking Sumi’s voice!! It’s a tad tomboy-ish but at the same time feminine. LOL Does anyone agree? Or is there someone who hates her voice?! I hope not!!! I was really 100% CRACKING UP in this episode!!! Sumi and Miyako are NUTS!!! I LOOOOOOOVE how Miyako pushes Sumi’s buttons [...]

Another very late impressions post, this one is the second last of the shows I wanted to catch this fall. Sasameki Koto follows the story of a schoolgirl, Kazama Ushio (the one on the right in this screenshot), who only likes girls, and her long-time friend Murasame Sumika, who is secretly in love with Kazama. [...] No related posts.

This episode was just a general, look we’re friends now! Although it got really weird halfway through…I mean, this show is usually weird, but this just went over the top.   I just hope someone cleans that kitchen.   Not one of the best, it was pretty filler esque. Here’s to better next week. [...]

Summary: Tomoe and Miyako invite themselves to Sumika's room to plot the club's registration and are introduced to ara-ara delusional (complete with fabricated evidence) Japanese style maid Hayasumi Noe. The next "study session" is held at Ushio's which is filled with books, mostly belonging to her brother for his work. When Tomoe tells Miyako off for [...] Related posts:Sasameki Koto 04Sasameki Koto 03Sasameki Koto 01

Definitely have to agree with Xebek that Tomoe and Miyako have really livened up Sasameki Koto. Not that I was not digging the series before those two became more prominently featured. But there is only so much that can be done with Ushio searching for cute girls and Murasame secretly pining away on the sidelines. They [...]

I have to say that at the start of this show, I wasn’t too excited or thrilled. It seemed rather average. It wasn’t going to e a show I disliked, but not really one that had much going for it either. However with the introduction of Tomoe and Miyako things seem like they’ve really stepped [...]

We finally get to meet the girls that we saw kissing in the first episode. They are freaking hilarious, as one seems to perfectly compliment the other.   Not that I have any complaints with their noble goal. A club for girls who like girls? What a beautiful idea. I wish my high school had one. The [...]

「friends」 "Friends" Now this is the Saitou Chiwa that I know. Miyako is bratty, obnoxious, yet somewhat cute, unlike the other end of the spectrum seen in Senjougahara Hitagi. What's surprising here is Takagaki Ayahi, who's voicing Sumika like I've never heard her before.

This episode was pretty light hearted all the way! There were only a few BRIEF moments of *doki doki* and pain. : ( But OMG! I love the bottom right hand side picture!! *SQUEAL*!!!! So SWEET!! Look how protective Sumi’s position is!?! Couldn’t let go of the view from the back view either!! hahahaha It’s called [...]

Haha, this might be the funniest episode of the series so far. The ending especially has perfect comedic timing. Well done. What I love most about these characters in Sasameki Koto is that they are completely self-absorbed but in a way that is hilarious rather than annoying. Murasame, for instance, is completely focused on her love [...]
