Maria-Sama ga Miteru Season 4 thus far ...

I am so glad this show is back!  It is so delightfully, so wonderfully gay and adorable.  I just squee my way through episodes with my hand pressed against my heart the entire time.  It is so heart-warming.

I'm on the seventh episode now, so I'm almost finished with what's aired (or at least been translated so far) and I'm cursing my lap top for over heating and shutting down and bemoaning the fact that I need to give it a chance to recover *stupid laptop, shutting down right during an emotional moment*

First of all, Sachiko owns me.  I love her so much.  And she's even dreamier than ever this season because she's figuratively let her hair down so much.  Sachiko hugging Rei to make her feel better was like the cutest thing ever.  Well, next to Sachiko giggling which is the most epic love of all.  I like how happy, and content she is this season.  And of course, her declaring she'll be going to the Lillian Women's College to be near Yumi, was just the dreamiest ever.  

Sachiko is so what Ivy would be like if she wasn't a vampire and hadn't spent her life being screwed over by Piscary.  Though I suspect that if Rachel wasn't so stupid and actually loved Ivy back openly as Yumi does with Sachiko that Ivy could be just as content and giggley as Sachiko is at the moment.

Secondly, the amusement park episode was the gayest greatest thing ever.  Sachiko is such a smooth criminal, just casually asking Yumi out on a date in front of everyone.  And Yumi's happiness at going out with her *super cute*  I love Sachiko is her 'casual clothes'.  So adorable.  This episode even made Kasiwagi tolerable.  Sachiko all bundled up asleep in the car, while Yumi gently played with her hair, aw, so much love.  And of course, Kasiwagi telling Yumi that if she really wants to own Sachiko's heart she needs to 'take it to the next level' made me squee like crazy.  All I could hear was Sebastain the Crab from The Little Mermaid singing, "Shut up and kiss de gurl".  And of course, Yumi kneeling at the edge fo Sachiko's bed as they held each others hands was the perfect way to end the episode.

Rei and Yoshino continue to be almost as dreamy as Yumi/Sachiko.  Poor Rei, having to flee the country (or at least the immediate area) because she loves Yoshino so much.  

Okay, I'm going to see if my laptop is ready for more Marimite.  I want to know what Touko's secret is, though I have a suspicion she's all depressed because she has to take over the family business and not be an actress like she wanted to be.  I just had to ramble a bit about it because this marathon session has made so fan-girly.
