Kasumi is kawaii desu.
What?
He said that she was really cute. I think.
Desu is throw away and isn't really used for much there. It doesn't mean very or really. It's kind of an... ugh there isn't really an english equivalent, but it's an explanatory or confirmatory thing. Kind of like 'it is the case that' or 'it is for the reason that'.
However it's supposed to be used instead of Masu as a verb ending, and kawaii/cute aren't verbs however, so I'm pretty sure 'kawaii desu' is technically incorrect.
That entire explanation, however, is totally throw away, because I'm pretty sure CC was making fun of weaboos that shout, "KAWAII DESU," about ****/trying to annoy the people that hate weeaboos.
Note: I don't really know a whole lot about japanese, I just know a couple people that studied there in study abroad programs, so I'm not like, 100% sure on the correctness/incorrectness of using Desu with Kawaii, but I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to.
