WAaaaah!! The Sasameki Koto anime homepage have just been revamped!!! There’s still not much to it but we get a glimpse of the character designs!!!! KYAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! (I stole this new *yuri* expression from otakuBLAZE!! hehe) It’s pretty close to the manga – I’m happy!! ^_^ I think Ushio actually looks less of an air-head – quite pretty actually!! Ooooh…soft puppy eyes!!!! hahahaha
What do you guys think??? Like it?

Kyaaahahaha~ They both looks pretty. Now really wonder who’s the seiyuu for them though. :>

I really like Ushio’s design, but Sumi just doesn’t seem right. She doesn’t look stern enough. BUT I’m still excited. Maybe Kana Ueda will do a voice.

Oh nice, I like how both the characters look. Ushio looks real cute and friendly while Sumika looks responsible enough. Everything’s great so far. (:

owww….both characters are cute…Ushio really looks cuter…hmmm…Sumika as well…her looks doesn’t really looks tough at all..but she looks cute with that smile..ohohoh!!!….
oh no…I’m really gonna KYAAAAAAAA~♥ a lot when I see the animation of this!

I actually like how Sumi doesn’t look quite as tough as in the manga. A tad bit more softer/feminine. I always thought she was too “guy-ish” in the manga with her outbursts and all. Hopefully Ushio will see this softer side of her quickly!!! hahahahahaha
SEIYUU!! Good point guys!! I haven’t even had time to ponder on that yet?!?! OOOOOOOOOOOH!!! I hope they use the usual yuri bunch!?!!! Not sure who would be the most appropriate though…hmm….Shizuka Ito as Sumi (i’m thinking kendo vs karate…yeah that’s about the same thing! haha)!? Ayako Kawasumi would be good too! As for Ushio, someone girly…hmm…maybe Ami Koshimizu?? I must admit that i don’t know THAT many seiyuu!!! If you can’t tell already!?!
How about u guys!? who would be the ideal seiyuu for you????
May 29, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Ninnypants
will the anime follow the same storyline as the manga?
May 29, 2009 at 8:06 PM
E
Cool!!! Yeah Sumi looks a bit girly in that design unlike in the manga. When will this animé be aired???

Lets hope it follow the same plotline, it’ll be nice. I won’t like to see a change of plot because it’ll cut some good parts between this two like on manga.
I won’t really mind who’s the seiyuu as long as I can watch my awesome yuri series.
But maybe this series will be 26 episodes.
I’ll jump off the roof (nah just kidding but its happiness lawl) if they’ll make second season of this because I don’t think 26 episodes enough. :>
I’ve been wanting a second season or atleast few OVA of simoun and strawberry panic for years now but oh well, no news at all hahaha obviously no second season for those two. T_T
I put my hopes up years ago for strawberry panic though because there’s petition about it. But bah been so long now. ;-;
But hey I’m really happy and glad that the they gonna make some yuri this year because we’re lacking it so much. :x
Rare awesome yuri are craveable. nyahaha.

At this stage I haven’t picked up on any further news regarding timing or seiyuu! Don’t worry! I’m ALL EARS!! Once I pick up something I’d be sure to SHARE the news!!!
So which do you guys look forward to more?? Sasameki Koto or Aoi Hana??
May 30, 2009 at 12:44 AM
Nerei
I’m up for Sasameki Koto more! I just find it sweeter and more squee-worthy. XD
Yeah, I hope the same yuri bunch would be involved with either Sasameko Koto or Aoi Hana. It’ll be so fun! All the radio shows, interviews, etc (and their blog updates filled with their pics together)!
May 30, 2009 at 1:20 AM

I’m glad that Sumika doesn’t look as tough as they say in the manga,,
I’m really looking forward to see Sasameki Koto more than Aoi Hana^^
I can’t wait until it aires!! *sparkling eyes*
May 30, 2009 at 1:56 AM

LOL Looks like we’re all hardcore yuri fans!!! hehe So Nerei, you’re a blog stalker too!? haha I’ve subscribed to both Shizuka Ito and Hitomi’s blogs!!! hahaha
*SPARKLING EYES*
AHAAHAHAHA Oh Jessy you seriously make me laugh!! How are ur exams going?? I’m pretty dead…I just spend the last 3 hours watching TV, re-reading Aoi Hana and writing up a new post!!! AAAaaaah!!
May 30, 2009 at 2:30 AM
Jessy
Hahaha,, yeah well it’s getting better^^
I’m planning to study with some friends for the mean time (damn it… MATH)!!!
Haha I’m at the edge of being pretty dead!! xD
Well now I’m just taking a break, watching tv and reading Sasameki Koto ^^ hehehe

*SIGH* Mine isn’t going so well. Maths? Easy!! haha At least from what I remember!! I’m off! I’m heading to the cafe this morning and just going to plonk on my ipod and STUDY!!!! >_<

Hehe, I’m not a blog stalker of the seiyuus, since I can’t read Japanese. What I do is stalk blogs like yours and J1m0ne for all the yuri + seiyuu <3 though.
XD
May 30, 2009 at 10:32 AM
Sleepy
Hahahaha I’m a regular visitor to j1m0ne too but that blog has been a little inactive recently – or it’s on stuff that I’m not very familiar with. Oh I can’t read Japanese either but it’s the PICTURES that I look forward to on the seiyuu blogs!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
May 30, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Nerei
you mean those things about Minorin and the bad songs? I roughly got those. :-) But yeah, it seems like j1m0ne is too busy with real life to do more seiyuu profiles recently. >_<
Ok, I've started to follow Shizuka's blog for all her drunk/harassing-other-seiyuus moments.
May 30, 2009 at 8:02 PM
Jessy
Math isn’t always that easy!! xD
What subject are you studying for?
Studying with Ipod… It doesn’t work for me… well… most of the time!!
I usually get distracted by te music and then I sing along!! Especially with the OSTs!!! xD HAHAHAHA
May 30, 2009 at 9:05 PM
Sleepy
hahaha Nerei!! I’m afraid Shizuka’s been behaving herself lately!!! Nothing “fun” to see or read about!!! hahaha
@Jessy: I listen to instrumentals so that helps – nothing that actually has words. It’s typically my anime/movie/drama instrumental track. With that I can study. I’m assuming you’re in highschool? haha I think I’m a fair bit older than you! For me, I’m studying finance. *SIGH*
May 30, 2009 at 9:37 PM
Jessy
Yes I’m in highschool! *still have a long way to go*
Hmmm maybe I should try listening to instrumentals^^
Hahaha well I think math has become more difficult than when you went to highschool back then!! HAHAHA
Ah my brother is studying finance as well…
May 30, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Sleepy
WHAT??!! “more difficult than when you went to highschool”!?! I’m not THAT old!?! hahaha I used to be bit of a maths whiz – no longer though!! hehehe I can barely calculate the split for a dinner bill!! hahahaha
I’ve given up on studying! Just threw on a DVD! CRAAAAAP!!
May 30, 2009 at 10:25 PM
Jessy
Hahaha I was just kidding xD Haha
Haha which DVD? You’ve earned it,, after all that studying hahaha!!!
May 30, 2009 at 10:38 PM
Sleepy
I’ve done hardly any studying…. >_<
It's 'The Women" – it's pretty funny!
May 30, 2009 at 10:42 PM

Haha… try studying better tomorrow ^^

Sigh, I wish Shizuka’ll do something, anything, to spice things up. Only thing to look forward to is the Hayate the Combat Butler!! ED CD “Honjitsu, Mankai Watashi Iro!” released on 10 June. Shizuka’s singing!
May 31, 2009 at 10:43 AM
Sleepy
Oooh! She’s singing? I heard she’s not great but decent. Is Hayate any good???
May 31, 2009 at 11:34 AM
Nerei
It’s comedy, pretty good, and Shizuka’s character (Hinagiku) is lovable. But there’re also quite a bit of parodies on other anime, so I’m not sure if you’ll find it to your taste. I think I like the ending song of the 2nd season possibly not only cuz of Shizuka, but also cuz I like her character. =D Oh, no yuriyuri though.

hahahhaha Yes KYAAAA is my new yuri term!! hahahahaha Who knows…?? Chapter 15 is currently being ‘edited’ by Dynasty Scans. Maybe next week? Not sure about the pace of these things…What I REALLY want to know is when Sasameki Koto the anime will be out!!!
May 31, 2009 at 3:54 PM

Nerei – I’ll put down Hayate on my to watch list…if it’s got Shizuka, I’ll watch it!! hehe
May 31, 2009 at 10:02 PM
Nerei
Sure, the full name of the series is Hayate no Gotoku. Shizuka doesn’t sound like Marimite’s Rei in this series though. It’s amazing how seiyuus are. Not sure if you read j1m0ne’s article on her singing as Hina , but I thought she did improve by the 2nd season (since her song was chosen as the ending theme).
May 31, 2009 at 10:19 PM
Sleepy
Thanks Nerei! Hey I’ve been meaning to ask but keep forgetting. I noticed ur avatar is Rei – I’m assuming she’s your favourite character?? What’s so special about her to you??? Oh dear – have i just opened a can of worms??? HAHAHAHA I’m just curious!!
June 1, 2009 at 12:43 AM
Nerei
Yupz, you just did!
Actually, my nick is not really from Marimite’s Rei. I came up with this nick Nerei nearly 10 years ago, from the common male Japanese name “Ren” and female “Rei”. Well, I was young, my fav character was Rei Ayanami and I thought many male manga characters named Ren looked handsome (can’t rmb them now).
Marimite’s Rei is kinda a coincidence. My favourite character is Sachiko *squee~*, but a friend who’s extremely into Marimite as well felt that I was just like Rei in several aspects. Stuff like:
I dress and act tomboyish, but she sees that I’m girlish at times. I once had an extremely close friend kinda like Rei and Yoshino, I was always wanting to protect and help her and I could never say ‘no’ to her. etc.
Due to the lucky coincidence, I decided to play with my nick by emphasizing on the REI in my avatar. And doesn’t Rei just look so pretty in this pic? :P
(In case you’re wondering, my close friend moved to Japan but we’re still best friends.)

My avatar is kinda small here… You can see Rei’s awesomeness as my avatar at http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a182/-Nerei-/Avatars/Rei.png.
June 1, 2009 at 2:35 AM
Sleepy
I’m glad I asked! Wow – your nick has quite a meaning behind it! Mine clearly doesn’t mean much. I’ve been using it for years now and it originally came from the fact that I always fell asleep in class etc. hahaha
Sounds great you guys are still best friends!!! AWESOME!!! Do you see/speak to each other much? You must have been really sad when she moved to Japan. I’d be in tears!!
June 1, 2009 at 10:27 AM
Nerei
Yeah, we still try to see each other at times, and I’ll call her occasionally. I was totally in tears the first 2 times I saw her off at the airport, but the subsequent ones were more calm. I guess as time passes, I just gotta realise that each of us have our own lives, own experiences, own encounters, and that I just have to learn to let her go. Also, it kinda speeds up the “letting go” when she got herself a fiancé before leaving the country, someone she knew for <1 month though they've since broken up.
That's why when Rei decides to go to another university rather than Lillian University, I know she'll do just well.

True I understand where you’re coming from. When my really close friend first left (we’re still really good friends now but went thru a rough patch), I was devastated!! You eventually get over it though. It’s true that all it takes is time. Definitely try to keep hold of this friendship!!
