“Now stop trying to steal other women’s girlfriends!” (“I was wrong to try to build a relationship with another woman- Sachiko is all I need.”)

There aren’t many series that can offer you stalkers, cross-dressing, PANDA, bondage and mass STRAIGHT all in one episode- but maybe that’s what fifty minute episodes are for. Meet Kanako, Yumi’s newest admirer.

It has been quite a while, hasn't it? Oh how I've missed you ladies. I dunno whether it's because I've been in an anime funk lately or what, but when the episode started, it was far from the super fantastic episode that lolikit told me it would be. Actually, I thought it started out pretty slowly. [...]

Yumi and Sachiko are back, and that can only mean one thing- HARD YURI. Unfortunately, Yumi’s visions of a tranquil summer with her lover onee-sama are shattered by an Evil Lesbian Trio- can our heroine triumph over these generic and ultimately minor villains of insignificance? I think the question answers itself, really… “I thought you’d never [...]

OH BOY! OH BOY! I went in expecting about 21 minutes of orgasmic fun and I ended up with 51+! Now that was great to have Marimite again. It's been what has felt like ages since I finished season 2 and I've almost forgot how awesome this series was. Sure there was still no actual hawt [...]

Even though the OVA was out for quite a while, I am surprised that no one did any summary for it, or any fanfare even. Hence, I decided to put up a summary and tons of screenshots for this. Hope that you like it as this is part of my service to Maria-sama ga Miteru, [...]

Suddenly, the new OVA series of Marimite is upon us. The first episode was released on DVD this week, with four more to come, at two-month intervals.The fine voice-acting is so important to this show. Here is a page with pics of ten main characters and photos of their voice actresses. Noto Mamiko's breathy voice is at its best, as Shimako. The wonderful Koshimizu Ami has been added to the cast, playing Kanako. And Ueda Kana and Itou Miki, as Yumi and Sachiko, seem even better than before. Links on the page take you to more info about each seiyuu.It was great to feel those delicate Marimite feelings again, in the first episode of the new OVA. It showed Yumi spending a week at Sachiko's family's vacation home. This involved encounters with the daughters of other rich, aristocratic families. These young ladies made Touko look positively benign.The story seemed a bit slow to me, but novel and manga readers say the anime left out a lot of detail. Perhaps I just have to get used to the Marimite style again. In any case, seeing it again made me even more certain that this is not so much sexy yuri as beautifully sentimental shoujo ai. Yumi and Sachiko's close relationship is so well portrayed.

Earlier today, KOTOKO released her new single, Chercher, and as for as I know, it's her sixth "MAXI" single. As for why the single and the song featured was named "Chercher" (the pronounciation should be "cher-cher", I suppose), I have no idea at all. This song would be the ED of the OAV, Maria-sama ga Miteru (when translated into English, it becomes "The Virgin Mary is Watching Over You"), which will be released in Japan in November on the 29th, as the third season and a stand-alone movie anime, unlike it's previous two seasons, which are made into 13 episodes in each respective seasons. Meanwhile the anime has started to show in the Philippines, I haven't even heard of the anime till I do this post now.I have always been a fan of KOTOKO. Her songs have never let me down, from the days when I only have a PC game music video featuring the game "Farland Symphony" using KOTOKO's "Wing My Way", to the songs featured in this new single, although I didn't really enjoy the song "Tsukiyo no butoukai". Her songs usually have a unique flavour I do not know how to describe. Like for example, Wing My Way has the feeling of someone looking for a brighter future, meanwhile Chercher here has the feeling of joy and happiness one would have in school. Both songs also have adventurous feelings, too!Her last single was "being", and the song "being" itself was also the second OP of Shakugan no Shana. She has also being performing in other animes (mainly Geneon stuffs) such as Onegai Teacher and Onegai Twins. I had really like the song and still like it until now. Meanwhile I'm not sure about KOTOKO's age, she looked quite old in one of the photos during her appearance in Anime Expo 2005 in America. In anyways, she still looks pretty attracting in this single's jacket. So... if you are interested, go try the songs out. Note that they are for sampling only, so please support the artist by buying the original CD when it reaches your place (yeah... KOTOKO's singles/albums would never reach where I live). I've uploaded them specially to my Opera blog server, and as usual, do not hotlink.- Chercher - KOTOKO- being - KOTOKONote: Oh well... I didn't knew that this song would be an anime's ED. I was wanting to do a random update talking about the animes which I an downloading and the animes which are recently licensed in the states. Oh well, there goes.

Downloading this series with the promise of hawt yuri action, Lobelia girls, and shoujo-y stuff… I didn't really get much of the first two but that's ok as long as there's that last factor, right? Right? The setting of the story at least has a bit of originality to it. It is at an all girls [...]

*Another directionless post on anime, manga, and plain books I just wanted to rant on how I’ve been completely engrossed in Marimite. I was supposed to watch the series and the sequel once, and then move on to the next marathon. However, I ended up watching the first season twice (I’m now on season [...]

The post about first season include many things that stayed same so I don't repeat those. The story about girls in the catholic school continue and the oldest students graduate, some also have to say goodbye to their beloved. Marimite concentrate on many characters instead of main couple which is bit shame, Yumi grew on me effectively during the series as she tried to open cold Sachiko.
