Sasami: MSC: Episode 25
 Home/Change Series
Episode 25 (The Warm Dream) is the next-to-last installment in this anime, and it covers some important ground. First, it brings to a close the plot thread dealing with Misao's difficult progress from painful insecurity to a confident acceptance of herself and others' opinions about her. But another conflict enters when Sasami invites her magical idol, Amitav, for a visit to the human world. She learns unconfortable facts about his connection with her father, and the episode ends with an emotional standoff that is only half resolved by the final episode that follows.
I was lucky enough to nab several sketch sets from this episode, including some important moments. AIC took extraordinary care with this episode, knowing its crucial place in the series. Peeking behind the scenes at the rejected images and the many second and third thoughts gives us a good view of how a major studio makes an important episode work, scene by scene.
Because I have so many scenes from this episode, and because the sketch sets are often very interesting, I've been generous about scanning and posting examples. But for simplicity's sake, only 24 examples are visible normally (I change these from time to time). If you go to "Private Area" and type in the secret password ("seemorestuff") you can get a fuller view of the behind-the-camera side of this interesting production.
