  • NES reference in the spoiler
    the controller is quite the dead give away and when Tama erased the game of Sasami and she was bitching at Tama it really has all the reason to, cause in the old days all games were saved on some internal part inside the cartridge and if you erase it then there is no way of bringing it back. Now with EMUs it’s better and more safe.


  • That's actually a Nintendo Famicom controller, not an NES. It's the Japanese equivalent.




    (I do quite enjoy your extensive posts, by the way. Good job!)
    Yeah I know, it was indeed the Japanese version however I like the USA version better and having owned it must say it was fine but back then it had dust/cartridge issues a lot.

    Well it shows that old school stuff is one of Sasami's traits and certainly it looks promising to see what else of the old days to remind us in this series shall show up.

    Definitely. I, too, owned an NES. The Famicom had a couple of differences. The player 2 controller had a microphone and you yelled into it to kill the Pols Voice in the original Legend of Zelda.

    Seriously guys? I think the episode 2 was great. It explained everything I didn't understand from episode 1. EXCEPT FROM THE BROTHER HIDING HIS FACE. But yeah, I can see the plot. I don't get why are you guys so confused, IT'S SHAFT!!!!!!!

    I'm not sure if the story is gonna progress though. I mean, the comedy is fine as it is and the next episodes will have more parodies. Well, let's see.

    Surprisingly, I found myself really enjoying thos one compared to the first episode. It might be because the three sisters played a bigger role and Sasami's brother took a backseat this time.

    Also, the visuals in the blue/green computer room and inside the game were incredible. I can definitely relate to Sasami's attitude when friends handle your equipment. Food on the keyboard, handling first edition books roughly and overwriting save games are annoyances I've come across too, maybe not to the degree seen here though. Loved this much more than the previous episode, my impressions of this show are improving.

    I liked how the beginning started with an explanation of the gods, divinity, and how and why the alterations occur. It at least made more sense out of why what happened in the first episode occured. Although I didn't find the ending all that climactic, I did enjoy the show and look forward to see where they take it next episode. As a gamer, I feel a bit sorry for Sasami having her game disappear, but I guess she was ready to move forward in the end.

    I'm very glad for that explanation in the first few minutes of the episode @__@ It's weird, but it makes sense!~ I certainly understand Sasami freaking out about the sisters getting crap all over her laptops and touching her manga and whatnot. I'm the exact same way XD
    This indeed seems like a very.. strange anime. Unusual and unique, kinda like Jinrui wa Suitai was. I find it very funny and entertaining, definitely looking forward to more!~ <3

    Hmm, so Sasami's brother was the cause of all that chocolate-coated madness last episode. He is unaware he has the power to change the world on a whim. And Sasami herself had that power too, in the past.

    Which reminds me of a certain other famous anime girl... And that "I have no interest in ordinary humans." is no doubt a reference to that girl.

    Just how rich are the Tsukuyomi siblings? Sasami has like, one computer for every program she uses. Well, nevermind the many other strange things in the world...

    The explanation at the beginning was really appreciated. As fun as it was to watch the first episode and have no idea what was going on, I don't think I could have watched all twelve episodes like that.

    That being said, dear lord the animation is gorgeous.

    As I suspected in ep.1, when I told my anime buddy that I saw a lot of references in this show, particularly on Japanese mythology, and so I am proved right !!

    And in fact we do have a kind of Haruhi situation here too. This is a fresh take of the sekai-kei genre that has not be so popular these days since Haruhi time. Thumb up to this show.
    So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

    I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

    I wonder how long people would put up with this.

    As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

    Finally watched the episode. Laughed a lot of the scenes with the sisters messing up with Sasami laptops; should I feel ashamed of myself? xD

    Anyway, good revelations in the start, but this is really random. Full of pandering but somehow self-aware; I don't know if I'll end up in love or completely disgusted by this.

    Honestly I can't say much as this point. Extremely entertaining episode, very unique stuff for sure.
    Depending on what happens this can be the biggest piece of shit ever or it could be a legend.
    Shaft is being unpredictable like usual.

    I loved episode 1. This one was good at the beginning, fun. But I think the last ten minutes ruined everything. There was no interest in the "fight" with the god that Sasami's unintentionnaly created. Furthermore, when she makes him disappear, she says that she is now happy. It's not realistic, she's an hikikomori, and she said in the 1st ep that her life was a terrible game she was playing.. i didn't found the same ambience than in the first ep. I hope that the next won't be that boring, because the anime beginning was great!

    Blah too many abstract and absurd things for my taste. What the fuck is this all about? Kafka would blush and get in a dark corner to cry if he was to watch this.

    What is this show about?
    W T F?

    I thought it would be a funny comedy with this crazy Sasami following around her brother.

    Why is the brother not showing his face? And the fact tht he has ero-senins voice doesnt help making it less weird.

    I just have the feeling this show is weird just for the sake of weirdness. Nothign more and thatțs a bit sad and hard to follow through

    This anime is just a filler anime for tye timeslot. It's not meant to be good.

    I really want to stop watching this, but the I do enjoy the concept of it, but there's something about it that annoys me. Maybe the brother? He annoys me. I dunno.

    I'm really loving this anime series so far! :D The second episode in particular was all kinds of funny for me XD

    Like It really amazes me how much I can relate to main character of this anime even though I'm a guy XD Like how much of a computer neat/geek she is and how she was freaking out when everyone was was messing around with her laptops XDD Her reactions to them were just totally priceless and I fond myself reacting with every one of her outburst as though they were my own! XD


    All in in all this episode was SUPER funny and very and I'm looking forward to watching more! :D

    This show is underrated af!!! Seriously, this is better than the last episode but most people found it boring??? Come on, LOL.

    The weirdness at episode 1 was explained huh?

    Sasami-san trying to disturb them for playing games but they bad ass calm, haha.

    Its even funnier that Sasami-san didnt even tried singing the ED, LOL, Shaft style. I hope she will sing properly next episode.
    And
    Weather forecast is funny too. Since she is shut-in, she doesnt care about the weather just like me.
