「声の出し方忘れた」 (Koe no Dashi Kata Wasureta) "I forgot how to speak" For a while there I actually though Sasami-san@Ganbaranai was going to turn dark and stay dark.

After the joy of her mother's return, Sasami is now in a decidedly tight spot as her true intentions come to the fore - with our protagonist captured and all of her usual protectors seemingly out of commission, is there anybody left to save her? Determined though she might be to have nothing more to do with the Tsukuyomi shrine, her mother certainly has different ideas and is willing to go to

Where did she learn how to do that? Sasami-san@Ganbaranai is a show that has had its ups and downs, to put it mildly. The previous episode was so dreadfully boring that I took a cop out by reading a translation of the light novel I had purchased. I didn’t really feel the need to do [...]

I kind of regret picking this show for blogging, because all I’ve been doing is the same thing I did with SAO: watching a show I hate just so I can criticize it afterwards. Not wanting to experience that again (at least, until the second season of SAO comes) I dropped the show whilst officially [...]

Summary Sasami goes shopping for a bicycle alone after Kagami rejects her in favour of taking her pet rabbit Meat-chan to the vet. At the shopping arcade, Sasami meets her mother and proceeds to drag her along to do the normal mother and daughter things together that they never got to do such as UFO [...]

It’s her last month of high school and she desperately wants to experience the normal, mundane life of a female high schooler but being the little sister of the homeroom teacher and having said homeroom teacher, Kamiomi, tell everyone that she was a poor little shut-in until [...]

And the Mother of the Year Award goes to… With this week’s plot development being strongly alluded to in the beginning of the episode, none of the latter half of the episode came as a surprise. However, the first half, while being as cliche as it could get, was a decently executed buildup, which is [...]

Well, it was an improvement over last week. I’ll give it that. Considering that we encountered her father a couple of episodes ago, it was only a matter of time until the female half of the parental unit appeared.Sasami-san@Ganbaranai shows that despite its eccentric (and inconsistent nature), it is unafraid to conform to standard anime tropes.

Sasami starts seeing her deceased mother in random places. One day while shopping she shows up and they spend the day together like an ordinary mother and daughter. But she has an ulterior motive: she’s made a pact with the god of the underworld and come back to make sure Sasami returns to her training [...]

WOAH! Sasami’s mother is such a MI- Nevermind. She came back from the world of the dead just to give Sasami a lecture and make her go back to the way of the Tsukuyomi priestess. And not even the Yagami sisters were a match for her: With Tsurugi cast into the world of the dead, [...]

This week's Sasami-san@Ganbaranai begins with Sasami herself recounting a chance encounter with her mother - an encounter which is worrying for a couple of reasons, both of which are pretty immediately obvious despite the episode's attempts to obfuscate that fact. When Sasami fails in an attempt to coax Kagami into going shopping with her (on account of the latter's need to care for her rabbit),

…. that wasn’t what I was expecting from Sasami’s mom! Yuu Asakawa debuts in Sasami this week as Tsukoyomi Juju, the siblings mom. Long story short, she’s definitely not winning any Mom of the Year awards. Also, she’s pretty damn hax for a “human” too. Certainly didn’t expect to see the ass-kicking that was delivered [...]

Summary Sasami returns home and finds a suspicious Top Secret DVD in Kamiomi’s room. But it isn’t porn, instead it is the Sasami Watch Project where the two younger Yagami Sisters are video recording Sasami’s doings while Kamiomi films Tsurugi the main narrator. Kagami tails Sasami to the drugstore where she tries, at Tsurugi’s behest, [...]

Summary After a quirky retelling of the fable of the Hare of Inaba, it’s back to more Sasami reporting. The power of Amaterasu has been passed down via the power of siscon – from the ancient times, Sasami’s ancestors who have maintained their bloodline through incest. The males act as servants while the females are [...]
