Shaft has taken taken a break from magical puellae and monstrous monogatari to kick off this season with an adaptation of hikikimori imouto light novel Sasami-san@Ganbaranai – though unfortunately many viewers were left wondering what it was they had just viewed.
Omake:
A box head doing the starting sequence to Hare Hare yukai? Was going to skip it but now I must see it.
It’s actually not that hard to understand : Sasami is a hikikomori and has haruhi-like godlevel power, that can change reality. The three sisters fight against the abnormalities she causes.
(PS : I didn’t read the novel, but that’s kinda obvious)
Amaterasu as a hikki?
GENIUS.
You know I like a little random in my anime every now and again. I’ll check this out and see how it goes.
Downloading now.

“…though unfortunately many viewers were left wondering what it was they had just viewed.” <<< I was thinking the same thing.
Other than the brother and the bag thing I thought the show was funny though. That or I am just desperate for something to watch in this — meh — season.
Another bad anime made by shaft.
Kyoani > Shaft.
It’s a fact!
Only if you are into Moeblob.
Incomprehensible? No…I thought it was fucking brilliant! This show is like a nerdy wet dream!
As if any Shaft series’ first chapter are comprehensible…
No, wait:
As if any Shaft series’ are comprehensible!
Uhm…I hope you don’t mean every Shaft series to date…because Bakemonogatari, at least, is certainly comprehensible. If you didn’t mean that then good for you :3 If you did then…I dunno what you’ve been watching.
Alternatively, if you didn’t think Bakemonogatari was comprehensible then you might want to solidify your comfort with the english/japanese language as well as associated puns, allusions, and other literary devices, seeing as the author of the originial light novels wrote them to play with language. Otherwise the show makes perfect sense, to me. But that’s just my opinion. I could be insane, I guess?
why i got a feeling that.. this will be a trap.
Bearing in mind that a lot of us haven’t seen the shows featured on Sankcom, it would be nice if we could be told just a little about what the plot is. A bunch of random pictures don’t convey a lot of meaning.
Plot? What plot?
Shaft animes = No plot + fanservice + nonsense

mune mune no mi, devil fruit user also here
seemed ok never gonna d what the brother did she can take care of that herself what a lazy bitch
I’m still wondering how those shower caps seen in the last pic work.
What’s so hard to understand about this? It’s basically a gender swapped Haruhi with NEET Yuno, Red Sword Becky, Frog Kafuka and Aphrodite A HanaKana.
Shaft’s animation and art style never ceases to amaze me. Truly unique stuff.
Head tilt!
Oppai missiles
What I saw was censorshit after only a couple of minutes, so I said “FUCK YOU, SHAFT!” and dropped the show right there.
Maybe the uncensored version will make more sense.
The censorshit was clearly ironic, because they were censoring things like her butt that you had seen in glorious uncensored close-up only a few moments earlier. They censored her panties too because panties are lewd, but then showed the same sequence without the magic light bar in the ED.
Maybe ironic censorshit is still censorshit, though.
Watch hentai.
Problem solved.
He complains about censorship and you think he should watch hentai??
If he’s messing nipples and pantyshots that much, well, yes.
cute
idk wtf is this
cute
ok
wtf …
cute
ok
……….yep idk
She’s the most ridiculously gorgeous hikikomori I’ve ever seen.
Honestly, it’s bullshit, a girl that cute would never experience the pressure and anxiety of normal, real life, she would be pampered and showered with love and have no idea why someone wouldn’t want to step outside of the house.
Mmm lots of cute girls hugging each other. Note taken.
Not really…there are a lot of beautiful people who still feel insecure about themselves. People pick up on that and it makes them seem awkward and a little less likable. You can be as ugly as sin, but if you’re charming and well-balanced people tend to like you.
yea i know.
looks worse than monogatari nonsense.
monogatari made sense and was great, at least for me
Probably the author spent months wondering how to make monogatari more absurd possible and after days without sleep did this anime.
You could say that would be a FPS in format anime, even if it has a symbolism in history has just annulled by exaggerated action and ero scenes.
In my case I will keep watching to see how far the author goes and ero scenes too 🙂
The Muvluv aliens combined with sasami was godlike.

Light beam censorship, the only thing that keeps me from watching the show entirely. How about not drawing the parts at all, or a little dot?
where the fuck did you see the BETA at?
picture 008, brah, it’s a .gif omake, just scroll this page up. Quite funny.

I wish I could manufacture sperm quick enough to meet this abnormal spike in fapping demand ;_;
Ditto.
I know that feel bro
It’s the 2nd to last gif in the article it’s obviously edited, but that’s the joke…
@ anus ?!
I liked it. However, the part with the chocolate didn’t make any sense and then there was the brother hiding his face behind his briefcase? WTF?
haters gonna hate
Hahaha Plot? Fuck is that
All I know is SHAFT is pleasing my shaft
Geez, in pic 7 her arms are bent backwards. Ouch.
Eh, since when have modern otaku actually given a fuck about what an anime is ABOUT as long as it has T&A?
There are still some. I need a story for me to like it . Then again there is not way in hell i’ll ever be an otaku
No pics of the brother? He’s the best part…
You just take any guy and put a briefcase or a bucket in front of his face. In fact, you can even use a brown paper bag. He is anonymous. He could be anyone.
I just hope the people that know they don’t like it stop watching it now, instead of following the whole season and then complaining about it every chance they get.
It’s the hope that it’ll get better.
Well, I’m not sure what I think about the whole chocolate thing at the end although I think I get the gist of the characters’ roles? If the whole anime will be like that chocolate stuff then I probably won’t watch it – as you said, stop watching it now. I’ll give it a second episode, though, since you can’t always judge by the first episode. Baccano! is a good example of that.
Haha, I know right?
For me, I loved it. No idea what the hell happened there at the end with the chocolate world, but that aside, the brother with the briefcase over his head makes me giggle like a schoolgirl every time.
Looks like Shaft is trying to out do Gainax in the mind fuck department.
Actually they’ve done that on numerous Occasions.
This one is rather tame.
Not to mention the craziest stuff Shaft has ever done was in co-op with Gainax
He is my Master?
… Please…
You’re joking right?
Shaft is pretty reasonable.
Please construct a graph that compares anything on shaft’s list with Evangelion and Fooly Cooly in terms of mindfuck.
The only other studio that I can think of at the moment that is up there, if not above it, is Studio 4°C
Don’t forget the Bakemonogatari series too.
Katte ni Kaizou being more fucked up that FLCL in my opinion.
Pani Poni Dash, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Katte ni Kaizou are all pretty fucked up.
I want to buy all BD NOW.
Shaft is just trying to prove, add a cute girl and they will watch anything.
I’ll be watching episode 2.
Mondaiji is already using that route this season though. Dat bunny girl…
That’s SHAFT for you, the only way they can make their anime is by throwing random nonsense, head tilts and other stupid crap.
Okay so Anonymous gone wild???
I personally loved the episode.
I came twice
Oh there is a new author on sancom
The hats and bed hair is awesome.
Did I have any idea of what was going on? Fuck no. Did I find it hilarious and entertaining? Fuck yeah I did!
Sometimes tbe weirdest shows are actually pretty good. Durarara! Weird as all hell, the headless chick was the most sane one in it, but still a really good show.
Indeed, it was intriguing, and visually quite nice.
Will be following that one, i think.
Haven’t seen anything this strangely entertaining since Arakawa under the Bridge, which was also by Shaft.
I agree with everything you said.
I’m actually looking forward to how this series progresses.
Agreed…
Jinrui wa suitai shimashita from last year was also one of the weirdest anime I’ve seen, starting from the first episode with that talking bread tearing itself apart but now it is one of my favorite anime!
Fuckin’ eyebeams. That really is basically the perfect gag.
It’s a little more interesting to think about when you realize that the sisters are the imperial regalia….
shaft
and everything is clear
I agree… And at least they know how to make this look so damn good, even if you can’t understand much of what you see…besides the boobs.
speaking of boobs, did anyone else think of similar chest explosion from Tenjo Tenge when they saw the gif?
oppai bangnam style
ok- haruhi dance by boxhead guy- niiice.
also, like the muv-luv reference 🙂
The whole show is about modern shintoism. Sasami and her brother are gods, her brother thought about chocolate so much, that it made the whole planet turn to chocolate. The three sisters are representations of the three virtues in shintoism. This will make sense later in the series when it’s actually explained.
And we all know what Shinto brother and sister god combos get up to…
Fuck! Ruined everything now. Fuck!
And I thought I was watching Touhou.
Gosh bro spoilers.
She’s supposed to be 9? Fuck that.
Why don’t you take a seat over there…
Seems legit.
Waiting for BD.
Single Character in the Centre of the Screen: The Anime?
So this “Sasami” has absolutely nothing to do with TENCHI MUYO or PRETTY SAMMY/MAGICAL PROJECT S or even SASAMI MAGICAL GIRLS CLUB? I am disappoint.
I would totally buy a new PRETTY SAMMY series as long as it’s classic Pretty Sammy and Pixy Misa, not that magical girls club nonsense.
God forbid Shaft touch another magical girl anime.
Bad news, they do have another mahou shoujo on the way.
Oops, that was me. I thought I was logged in but that cookie must’ve expired.
This anime is strange as fuck just like NHK ni Youkoso @.@
@
dem oppai’s can surely blow u away
Hold onto those oppais for dear life
Why’s anyone surprised? It’s shaft
At first I didn’t know it was by shaft. It wasn’t until I read on gg’s site that its from shaft that I knew.
I’m guessing in the next episode we will get a bit better an idea of what’s up. Or some time after that.
Shaft is shaft.
You watched 4min of a SHAFT anime without realizing what you were watching? You must be fairly new to all this. Welcome o/
well this looks…well guess i better check it out first eh?
I liked it. Felt different, looking forward to more 🙂
fuck u alien.
I didn’t watch this, but I remember “Excel Saga” an idiotic show which didn’t make any sense either but everyone loved that stupid bullshit ¿So what’s the problem with this one?
You’re a bit thick if you can describe Excel Saga as idiotic but use it as pejorative.
You’re a bit of an fucking “idiotic” asshole.
I loved the hell out of Excel. It wasn’t terribly hard to follow once you realized the overarching plot wasn’t supposed to make any sense and was just there for the animators to do a different genre take-down every week. And those were actually pretty smart. The best one was where they played it dead serious for a week.
This anime made absolutely ZERO sense. It wasn’t even a pleasant waste of 24 minutes. It was 80% nonsense and 20% fan service to keep you from turning it off and doing something better with your time.
it was boring really, wich is rare for me. a mash up of deja vu and nonsense.
Looks like the people @ SHAFT took to much hallucinogenics (i.e. acid) again.
Add in some narcotics
I should have learned my lesson after the steaming pile of crap that was Madoka. Shaft can’t do anime.
so that’s where those light beans mysteriously come from.
Anyway Shaft shits on another work.
How KyoAni does work – making everything cute and moe without much sexualizing of their characters.
How Shaft does their work – whores out all their characters.
This is why I don’t bother watching Shaft anime. They only seem to know two things, tasteless fanservice and trippy nonsense.
SHAFT Anime isn’t for kids….
So only kids get good anime?
