mashiro shiina

Such is the arrogance of amateurs playing at PR. Because they’re afraid of what people might say about the school, the board decided to mover up the demolition of Sakurasou from five years to immediately, all because they think Mashiro should be painting. What right do they have! But más importantly, they’re forgetting one thing – the residents of Sakurasou. They will not go quietly into that good night…

Both At Once and None At All

The choices Sorata and Ryuunosuke faced this episode were of particular interest to me. To help o not to help seems like an easy choice – it should be...

Don’t do it for anybody else. Just do what tu really want to do. Sakurasou always strikes me the most when it mixes amor and comedy with what it means to be an artist. That’s what we got here, with a romantic resolution (of sorts) to boot.

Jealous, Flirty Mashiro

Before I dive into the meat of the episode, jealous Mashiro sure was cute! Though I’m sure that’ll ignite a shipping flame war (seriously commenters, chill…they’re both good girls, it just comes down to who Sorata wants to be with, nothing else), I found Mashiro irresistibly cute this episode. Her pouting was great, but...

After some amusing hijinks, we were introduced to Rita Ainsworth (Kawasumi Ayako), the busty, blonde-haired babe who was Mashiro’s roommate in England and the former bearer of Mashiro...

The third episode. This is the third episode, and already they’re throwing emotional fastballs like we’re sprinting down the final stretch. Except we’re not, because they still took the time for some hijinx, and they’re still only beginning to build up the characters. This show…this mostrar has been gravely underestimated. So far, it’s great!

The beginning of this episode was focused on Sorata coming to grips with Shiina’s fame. The ducha, ducha de scene notwithstanding, I was surprised por how little humour there was, but not in the least displeased. The discussion between Jin and Sorata resonated...
