Well, it seems like everyone figured out what we’re doing from the last letter hint, so here you go. Our new show for the fall is Sasameki Koto.
This is as pure yuri of a manga as a manga can get. It’s about a girl (Sumika) who has a crush on a girl (Ushio) who she hears likes girls, and has a friend (Tomoe) who’s in a lesbian relationship with another girl (Miyako).
About the code: Sasameki Koto in l33tsp34k is 5454m31<1 1<0t0. Add together numerical neighbors to get 18m4<1 1<t. Repeat to get 9m4<1 1<t.
Sweet! (1st comment?!?)
Thanks Chihiro! I’m looking forward to this one.
don’t really understand the code
argh! Leetspeak, the bane of the interwebs!
oh, and did you switch the code on us? I could have sworn it was 9m4<4 1, not 9m4<1 1<t
YAY! A yuri series and my guess was right back on K-On BD 03.
I don’t mind the lolicon orientation of Chihiro but i’m going to sit this series out.
Yuri (or yaoi) is not my thing.
lol I thought it had something to do with number addition but never thought about l33tsp34k
oh well, looking forward to this series xD
Wait, what?
What was just described is more like a hash (i.e. you’re losing information going one way), not a code (well, technically, I don’t think “code” means what Kristen thinks it means, either… but that we can forgive %-)
Way to confuse technical people, jeez…
Cool, a yuri series :p i’m looking forward to this.
thanks for picking this up, it looks like a good series, and it probably is it :]
bloody l33t sp33k, hated it 18 years ago, and still hate it now.
BASTARDS!!!!!
I like how that code is completely _not_ reversible.
(Someone above pointed out that it was like a hash, and yeah, basically…)
Anyway, yuri is good, so this sounds good enough!
I’m assuming the setting is at some catholic private school, correct? If it is I don’t get why they all ways use this setting in these types of animes. I’ll probably still watch it though still.
Too cool! I really like the manga and it’s a very nice story. I’m really looking forward to seeing it depicted in anime form with Chihiro’s high-quality subs. 🙂
I’ll try this.. xD since Chihiro is subbing this. And I might be a Yuri Lover.
Sigh… how I wish Chihiro will do Sora no Otoshimono instead of a yuri anime… oh well.
Thanks! 🙂
When I first looked at the “code” I thought it had something to do with leetspeak, but couldn’t make any sense out of it.
@Murialita – They didn’t change the code, the website ate the <t from the end of it. I posted about it a few releases ago. It still shows up if you look at the source code for the site, but it doesn’t show up in the article.
@ Unknownforce: it’s actually set at a co-ed school.
who gives a flying damn abt the code now, all wht matters its they r translating a YURI show and thats more than freakin sweet news =] awesome stuff, looking forward for da show…

I’m Ren and I approve this message.
WTF, i’m really grateful that i haven’t been downloading from Chihiro for a while. And i guess that will continue for sometime. Why’s everyone so much into Yuri? In fact i don’t like. Ok, i like a little of it, but not everyone in the series have to be lesbian or gay…. T_T
@manhatten
Still doesn’t explain how it went from 4<4 to 4<1. I also checked the comments in some of the later releases and I wasn’t the only one that saw it that way. Though I do see the correct code in the original post now.
But it’s not like it really matters. Patience paid of at the end.
mmm yuri is good, look forward to watching this hopefully its as good as other yuri anime like strawberry panic haha
Bah… Yuri… This like the only one of your releases for the past two seasons I ain’t gonna’ watch.
Yay, yuri! Im so gonna watch this
i was trying to use l33tsp34k but i didnt do the add the numbers thing and i think Murialita has i point i dont remember the code like that i have to double check
I don’t remember ever seeing it as 4<4, but then I didn’t see it the first day it was posted.
Thank you for picking this up!
I really love the manga, and was really REALLY worried that a decent Fansub group would not pick it up.
Thank you for easing my worries!
Yay!! This anime is in my list of this fall, and you’ll sub it! Great!
BTW, I was asking me before… is this the only fall show which you will sub???
Have thought in another one? Another like Kämpfer??? I’d like you sub this show too, because, do you have seen who will be in this anime?? Marina Inoue, Nana Mizuki, Yui Horie, Yukari Tamura, is really a great staff, you know. A great staff for a great anime, I hope.
i told all of you like 5 releases ago that this was the show and sad thats crazy coding
see gendai mahou 05
Kristen you are my goddess. Thx for picking up this show ]:->
Re your “cipher:” You could as well hash the string “Sasameki Koto” and get as many correct answers–zero, that is. A cipher is supposed to be reversible but your “cipher” reduces to an NP problem (Google knapsack). Worse than irreversible!
Other than that, congrats on the fiiiiine choice 😀
story sounds good
Penguin Musume Heart season three? Ne? Ne?
It is at a co-ed school, and there are a few characters that are NOT lesbian in the series, but obviously yuri type relationships are the focus.
it’s yuri but not marimite super dramatic yuri more of a hidamari sketch yuri but with some pacing but it all ends up back in the friend zone endings. plus crossdressing traps!
it’s pretty off the wall with sumika’s erotic daydreams, 4th wall ramblings and even blatant cameos.
but it maintains some romantic atmosphere and draws a hazy line between friends and lovers.
I love the manga and I’m happy to know where I’m gonna grab the anime!
Yeah…I agree with Turban (all the way up there); I’m not into Yuri.
Though, congratulations on having it as a project for the fall season ^_^
