Product Description
Nagisa Aoi has just transferred to a prestigious all-girls’ school that happens to share dormitory facilities with two other academies for young ladies. The new surroundings are a lot to take in, but she quickly adapts to life in Strawberry Hall with the help of newfound friends. However, when Nagisa catches the eye of Shizuma Hanazono, the respected representative of all three schools known as the Étoile, both their lives are forever changed. Bonds beyond mere friendship develop between the two and those around them amidst a school year of heated conflicts, petty jealousies, and crossed boundaries.

Almost Overwhelmingly Sweet,

By P. J. Grant “Anime Guru” -

For all those who find the subtle hints at lesbianism in such shows as Revolutionary Girl Utena and Maria Watches Over Us annoyingly vague, look no further. Strawberry Panic pulls no punches, calling a spade a spade… without ever once using the word or being judgemental. Essentially a high school romance, or rather a set of them, SP takes place at three linked all-girl’s academies that share a common dorm. With casual aplomb, the show deals with all aspects of high-school dating: jealousy, love triangles, shyness, and inevitable seperation. The characters are well designed, rich with nuance, and - if lacking in depth and background at times - engaging as all get out. While essentially character driven, this show does have more of a coherent plot and story arc than Marmite… plus each of the three schools has its own set of uniforms, all of them significantly more attractive than those found in Marmite or Utena.

While It Doesn’t Have Hard-core Fighting This Heart-Warming Series Is Worth A Look,

By Rich “xman” (CA) -

I had gotten this on order the same time of another series Simoun, and while it doesn’t deal with supernatural beings or mecha battles the series still is entertaining enough to be justified on getting for someones collection. The small part of the story has to do with a new young girl’s transfer to a luxurious looking school for young ladies, and while trying to find her niche in the school stumbles on a mixture of romantic liaisons, troublesome jealous feelings against her, and her own growing feelings for one the schools most respected and honored students. The series is one gender(female)romances and while some might find that offensive they’ve no right to complain if they read the amazon sites editorial about the series in the first place. My two complaints are that one is the series is only subbed and while the cast were fantastic in their roles for the series it’s sometimes nice not having to read the subtitles all the time, though if they couldn’t find a decent group of voice actors for the series than I truly am greatly relived that they just left it subbed because nothing is worse than an awful dubbing. The second is that the series slim-pack is a dvd case that holds all five dvds inside it, I would rather of had them put the dvds in individual slim-packs but like almost all anime or business companies in the United States their trying to make cost-saving choices on their products, and for the price I guess we can forgive them for this one little annoyance….
