Maria-sama ga Miteru ~Haru~ – Episode 4 「Will」


Everyone feels sad because the third year students are graduating. Yumi drinks warm milk with Rosa Chinensis and Sachiko makes sweet love to a mechanical pencil. All is well in Lilian Academy. Too bad no one cares about any of this irrelevant shit.


ARYGHDFGJHDSKJSHF#H!!!!! Rosa Gigantea and Yumi finally throw all their inhibitions out the window and get down to business. What am I saying? Rosa Gigantea never had any inhibitions. Okay, so Yumi finally throws all her inhibitions out the window and reciprocates Rosa Gigantea’s unambiguously homosexual advances. No wonder why Yumi has been so nice to Shimako, she’s compensating for the guilt of harboring exorbitant amounts of Catholic teenage lust towards Rosa Gigantea. I can’t really blame her, though. I don’t know what direction this show will go in once Sei leaves school. It’s one of those things you just can’t fathom happening. The day of reckoning approaches, however, and I’m not liking it.

Special Bonus!

Yumi x Rosa Gigantea in the empty classroom!!! (Right-click and save)

Transcript of the video done by me.

祐巳 (Yumi): さ…さよなら! (Goodbye!)

聖 (Sei): 祐巳ちゃんのちゅうが心残りで卒業できない~! (The thought of your kiss is still left in my heart so I can’t graduate~!)

聖 (Sei): どうした? (What’s wrong?)

聖 (Sei): さっさと帰らないとまた襲っちゃうよ (If you don’t leave, I’m going to attack you again)

聖 (Sei): 何考えてるの? (What are you thinking about?)

*Yumi and Sei share a gentle moment of passion and Sei chases down Yumi afterwards*

聖 (Sei): 改めて言う事も無いと思ったから黙っていったけど…私、祐巳ちゃんと知り合いでよかったと心から思ってる (I didn’t think this was worth repeating so I didn’t say anything but I’m really glad that I met you.)

祐巳 (Yumi): えぇ… (Eh…?)

I love this show.

Sadness

I went to Yoshinoya today for lunch. When I pulled up to the drive-thru to place my order, the person on the other end said…

“Hi, welcome to Yoshinoya. I’m sorry but we’re out of rice.”

What the fuck? You’d think they’d run out of other things before they run out of something as fundamental as rice. It’s like going to an exam and the professor tells you that he’s out of tests. The funny thing is that happened to me before, twice to be exact (Math 1A and EE20, both back at Berkeley). The American dream of getting an automatic “A” due to the professor’s gross incompetence has eluded me on more than one occasion. I might as well just move to Mexico or something. I’m sure college tuition is a lot cheaper down there. Ya puedo hablar espa?ol tambi?n y por eso no hay problema.

I should have asked for a plastic fork so I could stab myself in the testicles. Let’s just say the chicken breast strips from Jack-in-the-Box tasted extra crappy today.

Win2k was getting old. Akane is the future! I’ll definitely write an extended entry about my thoughts on the Kiminozo fan disc later on.

Maria-sama ga Miteru ~Haru~ – Episode 3 「いと忙し日日」

Rosa Gigantea tricks the first year students into doing a talent show for the Rosas‘ goodbye party. In addition to other preparations for graduation, the first year students in the 山百合会 (Yamayurikai) have that to worry about. Yumi stresses out about it, as usual, because she has to please her seniors. She collapses during class and pisses in her pants (okay, not really) from too much stress. When Sachiko tells Sei about what happened because of her, she just laughs and nonchalantly says “Bitch, STFU!” I’m going to miss Rosa Gigantea.

However, I have found a new favorite character! It’s Shimako (Rosa Gigantea en Bouton) because she plays the melodion!!!!!!!!! Those wacky Japanese people call it a pianica, though. They also drive on the left side of the road and put the dreaded mosaic over the naughty bits in their pornography. Yeah, who’s crazy now, huh?

Maria-sama ga Miteru ~Haru~ – Episode 2 「黄薔薇まっしぐら」

Men? Marriage proposals? HETEROSEXUALITY? What the fuuuuuuuuuuuck!!?? I didn’t pay for this shit!

But, LK, you didn’t pay for it. You’ve been getting free anime for 4 years now. You even download region 2 DVD rips of shows you’ve already seen.

Silence! The Marimite world has turned upside down with this tragic debacle of common decency. Eriko (Rosa Foetida) has been going on mysterious dates with MEN. Then she starts acting all weird and talks about getting MARRIED to a MAN. I’m glad that she’s graduating soon. I didn’t even know her real name until this episode (*).

So there was a big misunderstanding and 4 out of the 5 men Eriko went on “dates” with were her father and three brothers. One of the brothers is so pimp that he comes to Eriko’s school dressed in full football (that’s American football) gear. However, she is in love with the fifth guy and asks him to marry her. She gets shot down but she makes it known that she’ll pursue him in the future. Eriko’s brothers and dad all oppose this for very suspicious reasons (Da Capo, anyone?). What a crazy country. Let’s just hope that the girl x guy stuff ends here and that everything will return to “normal” next week.

(*) To be honest, it’s not really anyone’s fault that I didn’t know Rosa Foetida’s real name. When you share the stage with Rosa Gigantea, being pushed aside to the gutter is inevitable. Some people may not be big fans of Sei, but she does involuntarily commandeer everyone’s attention.

Maria-sama ga Miteru ~Haru~ – Episode 1 「長き夜の」


YES YES YES YES!!! The writer’s goldmine known as Maria-sama ga Miteru comes back for a second season! Each episode I write about brings me one step closer to an afterlife of suffering in the firey depths of the netherworld. Is it worth all that? The answer is a resounding FUCK YES! This isn’t like Midori no Hibi where I’m hoping for something good to happen. I know this show is cheesy and that’s exactly what I’m looking for. If an episode is really bad then the entries practically write themselves.

In case you forgot, here’s a brief overview of the show. This show can be best summarized as follows

Maria-sama ga Miteru (マリア様がみてる) – A show about a bunch of snobby girls who rule an all girls Catholic school with an iron fist and their unambiguous homosexual tendencies.

Yumi (Rosa Chinensis en Bouton Petit Souer) and a couple of other first year students get picked as bitches little sisters of some of the most powerful figures (that whole Rosa BS) in the school. They mysteriously turn into lesbians and the story picks up at the end of Yumi’s first year at Lilian Academy.

Sei (Rosa Gigantea) gets everyone together at Sachiko’s (Rosa Chinensis en Bouton) house for a wild lesbian orgy, or so I thought. Who the hell invited Sachiko’s yaoi-inducing cousin? Why is he wearing a pink shirt? Why is Yumi’s brother there? Why is Rosa Chinensis (I don’t even remember her real name) the only one who looks like she just came back from the prom? Why are Ayatollah Razmada and his cadre of fanatics consolidating their power as we speak? Why am I writing this? Why are you still here?

So many questions, yet none of them were answered at the end of the episode. I guess I can’t expect this show to possess all the answers to the universe. But seriously, why is Rosa Chinensis wearing that ugly dress? Who’s she trying to impress? The house full of girls or the two gay guys? Oh wait, nevermind.

So we approach the climax of the episode. Everyone else except for Yumi and Rosa Gigantea go home and Yumi ejaculates in her pants when Sachiko asks her if she wants to sleep over. What can I say? Sachiko finally puts out, just like how I predicted.

Here are a few observations about this episode.

  • Yumi is very shocked to find out that Rosa Gigantea has a drivers license. I guess this is a cultural gap because plenty of high school students drive in this country. Most of my friends also drive like Sei, sometimes even worse, so Yumi’s reaction to her driving skills is foreign to me.
  • The opening song, Pastel Pure, is the same one used during the first season but it has lyrics this time around. I don’t like it very much, personally.
  • Some TV executive thought it would be funny to put this show on a Sunday morning timeslot. I think it’s a conspiracy to tone down the blatant homosexual lust or maybe it’s a subtle way to persecute Catholics in Japan. They’re also plotting to annoy me by putting the time on the top-left corner of the screen. I’ll have to download DVD-rips to compensate for that. I win!
  • The opening may suck, but the ending kicks ass. It’s mostly because of the visuals, though. See for yourself.

Social Integration

I drove out to Buena Park for a dinner date with Bosun and Richard. We I had 짜장면. It wasn’t anything special but I’m not disappointed because I’ve lived in this country long enough to know that I can’t expect authentic old coutry goodness here. Despite all my subpar 짜장면 encounters on this side of the Pacific, it still remains in its position as my favorite food. I’ll have to go back to Korea one day before I forget what it’s supposed to taste like.

Afterwards, we went to a nearby Korean supermarket because Bosun had to buy pork and tofu. We walked by a Korean cafe and noticed that there was a gang of bikers sitting outside drinking coffee. I also noticed that there was a photograph of the same gang of bikers on the store window, which led me to believe that these people were frequent customers. I only bring this up because I saw another biker gang outside the Bobaloca around where I live. What a crazy world we live in. Personally, I think it’s great but it certainly isn’t something you see everyday. That alone merits my attention.

At the Korean supermarket, Bosun bought Men’s Pocky. Apparently, Women’s Pocky wasn’t good enough for her. So with that thought, I’ll close this entry with a beautiful poem I read on the Men’s Pocky box.
