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 thegayest 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.

Check garden of maidens (http://community.livejournal.com/gardenofmaidens/). I think they have links there for all of the episodes so far!

Date: 2009-03-09 01:20 am (UTC)OMG! Love! Forceful!Sachiko is awesome. She would not take no for an answer. I love how she was practically trying to rip Yumi's clothes off. Methinks, it's been a
sexuallyfrustrating year for Sa-chan, lol.Seriously, that scene was awesome. And you know that Sachiko totally did help her undress, and then took her sweet time getting Yumi into the kimino too. Let's hope "helping Yumi dress" becomes Sachiko's new "fix Yumi handkerchief"!

Date: 2009-03-09 01:24 am (UTC)I was worried that the season wouldn't be as super gay as the OVAs, but I was wrong. And I'm glad to have so many awesome little morsels coming my way. I heart this show so much.
Sachiko is so last season.
NEVER!!!!!!!!! TEAM SACHIKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SA-CHAN 4 EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, though I know what you mean. I'm a Yumiko shipper 4Life, but I definitely see the potential there for Yumi/Touko. I love Sachiko sfm though, that Yumiko will always win with me because of the Sachiko factor. Especially, giggly, hug-happy, cuddle with me in bed Sachiko.
I'm about to watch 10 right now.
*anxiously awaits translated version*

Date: 2009-03-09 01:09 am (UTC)Speaking of Ivy, have you read WWBC yet? *hopeful face* Your insights make me lmao because they're just so spot on, and I'm definitely looking forward to more Hollows fic with dreamy Ivy.
Btw, thanks for the rec of the show; gayness on telivision is awesome. Where have you found the seasons online?

Date: 2009-03-09 01:42 am (UTC)Not yet. I'm going to get it this week, and read it next week while I'm on vacation. I'll makes
rantsnotes as I read though, so that noone will have to miss out on my obsessive ravings, lol.Where have you found the seasons online?
The fourth season and the OVAs (kind of interseason mini-movies) are easy to find on mininova (http://www.mininova.org/search/?search=maria+sama+ga+miteru&cat=0). It'll take a while to search, but you could probably find links for earlier seasons here (http://community.livejournal.com/gardenofmaidens/). Also, youtube has the series from Season One on there too.

Oh, I know. This is so wonderful for me. Just be bombarded with gay, gay and more gay. It's such a pleasant treat from how things usually are.
Sigh...

Her and Sachiko...hot.
