I'd heard that something was up with Marimite on the streaming front, but had no idea it would include Oz, NZ, the UK and Ireland.

I'm always surprised, every single time I start this series over again - anime, translated anime, novels, manga, Drama CD, next up the live action movie - how charming Yumi is and how much I really just like the entire Yamayurikai. Every one of them.

In fact, in all of 30+ novels, there was really only three characters I didn't like. And all of them inhabited one-short short stories and weren't anyone we had to care about.

My only objection in all of those re-reads/re-watches is having to sith through "Rainy Blue" over and over....ugh.

Cheers,

Erica

I've never read the novels because I don't fracking read Japanese ... its maybe five languages down in the "learn a language" queue and since I doubt I could read A Hundred Years of Solitude" in the original anymore, the queue is lengthening at both ends,

But for the anime, I had by coincidence accidentally marathoned Season Four, which had just arrived, and then rewatched the stream of Season 1, Episode 1 the next day.

Looping around from four or five novels from the end back to the beginning and Oh My Goodness how both Yumi and Sachiko have grown. A series where "nothing really happens except young ladies growing up" can only work if the young ladies really do grow up.
