I thought the show made that pretty obvious. She didn't have a school uniform and wore a red backpack, both of which are standard anime cues for "elementary school". Throw in how she talked and acted...

Let me make her my wife. No one will suspect...

I can at least take solace that I'm not the only one who knew what the hell was going on. I can't even tell what kind of show this is. Can't say I'll keep up with this one; it's a bit too nonsensical to me =02

True but she also has a little quirk like the other two. Can't wait to see reactions for when that is revealed.

She basically goes into surveillance to be able to peek on his oniichan's face....

The novels made the point that she often gets stopped by police on the road who thinks she is a porn star. What else could it be when what looks like a grown woman is dressed like a kid?

Quoted for truth. I only wish there was more emotional depth in the characters. Perhaps that will come...or I will realize it was there all the time. And maybe I will start to appreciate the humour, as others apparently do.

Meanwhile, I will enjoy this for images like Sasami's face surrounded by an incredibly fluffy duvet, with subtle coloring and shading, and her eyes suddenly tracking right to left.

I liked their surname being Tsukuyomi, not just for the mythic resonances, but also for the reference to Shinbou's Tsukuyomi Moonphase, which was on TV in my early days on this board, in late 2004. It starred....Saitou Chiwa.

Well that was strange. I like strange. And really that was practically classic Shinbo "what the hell are they on and where can I get some?" strangeness.

My favourite crazy anime of the season is HERE!!!

But...but... the boobs!!

I simply assumed she was very eccentric, which in a Shaft show is pretty normal.

Well sure. She grows robot parts that are larger than her body, she can magically untransform the world from chocolate, and she may be the physical incarnation of a sacred mirror that was used to lure the sun goddess out... of... her... cave...

hawkeyesvn · 2013-01-11, 20:21

A girl doesn't want to go out of her room, she have name that is connected to Japan's sun goddess. Guys, I think I know where this story come from:

Spoiler for The missing sun goddess:

Amaterasu, the powerful sun goddess of Japan, is the most well known deity of Japanese mythology. Her feuding with Susanoo, her uncontrollable brother, however, is equally infamous and appears in several tales. One story tells about Susanoo's wicked behavior toward Izanagi, who, tired of Susanoo's repeated complaints, banishes him to Yomi. Susanoo grudgingly acquiesces, but has first to attend some unfinished business. He goes to Takamagahara ("heaven") to bid farewell to his sister, Amaterasu. Amaterasu knows that her unpredictable brother does not have good intentions and is prepared for battle. "For what purpose do you come here?" asks Amaterasu. "To say farewell," answers Susanoo.

But she does not believe him and requests a contest for proof of his good faith. A challenge is set as to who can bring forth more noble and divine children. Amaterasu creates three women from Susanoo's sword, while Susanoo makes five men from Amaterasu's ornament chain. Amaterasu claims the title to the five are attributed to Susanoo.

Both gods declare themselves to be victorious. Amaterasu's insistence in her claim drives Susanoo to violent campaigns that reach their climax when he hurls a half-flayed pony (an animal sacred to Amaterasu) into Amaterasu's weaving hall and causes the death of one of her attendants. Amaterasu, angered by the display, hides in the cave called Iwayado. As the sun goddess disappears into the cave, darkness covers the world.

All of the gods and goddesses strive to coax Amaterasu out of the cave, but she ignores them all. Finally, the kami of merriment, Ame-no-Uzume, hatches a plan. She places a large bronze mirror on a tree, facing Amaterasu's cave. Then, Uzume clothes herself in flowers and leaves, overturns a washtub and begins to dance upon it, drumming the tub with her feet. Finally, Uzume sheds the leaves and flowers and dances naked. All of the male gods roar with laughter, and Amaterasu becomes curious. When she peeks outside, a ray of light called "dawn" escapes and Amaterasu is dazzled by the beautiful goddess that she sees, this being her own reflection in the mirror. The god, Ameno-Tajikarawo, pulls her from the cave, which is sealed with a shimenawa. Surrounded by merriment, Amaterasu's depression disappears, and she agrees to return with her light. Uzume is then known as the kami of dawn as well as of mirth.

Tl;dr version: Sun goddess had a fight with her brother. She won, he got mad. He threw a tantrum and killed one of his sister's attendant. Angered by this, Sun goddess went inside a cave and decided not to come out anymore, leaving the world in darkness. Then came a god with a plan + Sun goddess' curiosity, other gods managed to drag her out and the light came back. Everybody lived happy and party hard!

I just watched the episode. I liked it, even though it was kind of "weird", it was still pretty fun. I think this anime will be worth watching.

Lenneth4 · 2013-01-11, 20:44

she wants to have sex with her brother (chocolate giving?)

Anyway still fun episode but not sure what i just watched

Random Wanderer · 2013-01-11, 20:47

So if we assume Sasami is Amaterasu, then staying in her house is hiding in her cave. From what I've read both the mirror and the magatama were used in luring her out, so both Kagami and Tama will be needed, but we're still mising some essential ingredients. And her reaction to the outdoors was strong enough that I suspect a direct transcription of the myth won't be all we need to rescue Sasami from her "cave." Stepping out into the world was actively harmful to her somehow. There's too much symbolism going on here for me to write that off as mere hikikomori agoraphobia, either.

This show is deep. The problem is that I can't tell how much of that is due to the actual story and how much is due to someone being really high when they were making it.

So we expect a party at the end of this with some naked dancing girls? Nice!
