If Yumi was a real person, I guess this is where I would apologize to her for my slanderous comments regarding her mental well-being. It seems like Crazy Sachiko wouldn’t have told Yumi anything about her current situation even if she did ask. It was pretty much a no-win situation for everyone. I’m the one who got screwed the most, though. I spent a few hours making that stupid movie.
The finale to this season was a little more depressing than the last one. Worrying about ordering hamburgers and buying jeans during a date opens the door to ridicule much easier than something like the death of Sachiko’s grandomther.
So yeah, Yuuko (the former Rosa Chinensis) tells Yumi what happened with Sachiko’s grandmother and the big misunderstanding finally gets resolved. There are also some meaningful life lessons permeating through the overly thick rose-scented atmosphere. They’re the standard ones like always communicate with your life partner, the power of lesbian schoolgirl lust is unyielding, never pick the Redskins to win any games against decent teams (I lost money on tonight’s Monday Night game), etc.
Then the flowers bloom for no goddamn reason.
I was going to write some long rant about the joys that this show brought me, but that won’t have any meaning considering that Marimite will most likely come back in a few months. All I have to say is, bring on the third season!
I do want to address one thing, though. People (that’s plural) have asked me numerous questions regarding my Marimite entries, which, according to my site’s stats, is by far the most popular feature ever on LK.com. I’ll address some of those questions right now.
