Sasami-san@Ganbaranai 04 - The Bonus Features Are Amazing

A few days late, but that was a pretty interesting episode, especially structurally. The frame story leading into the DVD leading to the flashback of an extended and (seemingly) random series of events is just the kind of storytelling I'd trust Shaft to do. I also liked that Tama's plotline with the aliens and Kagami's with the hot springs ended up factoring into the final conflict, and what a conflict it was. Then the cutting away from the frame story and integrating that all into the main story... it was very well done. I sorta figured Sasami would keep her power at the end, since it seems kind of essential to the premise, but I wonder if anything will come from having her other self take the form of a harmless(?) rabbit. Kamiomi's appearance throughout the episode reminded me of one of the CGI... things I've seen on gdgd Fairies. And the SD Tsurugi was a great commentator on the events, including the digital distortion applied to her voice.

A very entertaining episode.
