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?

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.

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...

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:
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!

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.
