Tales of the Unexpected

I started watching Sasami: Mahou Shoujo Club, which is a spin-off of a spin-off of a spin-off of Tenchi Muyo. But it may contain Pixy Misa, so I need to at least give it a go. It hasn't been fansubbed yet; I'm watching it in the original Klingon. But then I did that with Magical Girl Pretty Sammy too, and back then I knew even less Japa - uh, Klingon - than I do now.

Okay, so we have Sasami, who is more or less recognisable, and Washuu and Ryo-ohki, who are the same as ever, and Mihoshi... We'll come back to Mihoshi.

I didn't have high hopes for this series, because the character designs made the show look like it was targeted at six-year-old girls. As it turns out, appearances can be deceiving.

Here we are in the first episode, and one of the boys in Sasami's class has done the old mirror-on-the-shoe trick so he can look up Miho-sensei's skirt. Sasami's girlfriends think this is a typical stupid boy trick, but Sasami thinks it's kind of neat.

The kicker is, when Mihoshi turns up, she's not wearing a skirt. I don't mean she's wearing slacks, I mean she's wearing a skirt, except not.

Which lead to a certain amount of re-evaluation of my guess as to the show's target audience.

At about that point I ran out of .avi, because I stupidly turned off my notebook while copying the file, so I will have to report back with more thoughts and screen caps.

Secondly, there's this:

You're telling me this is an actual comic? (Thanks to Brian Tiemann. I think.)
