Strawberry Panic - quick rave

October 19, 2006 – 9:49 pm

I just finished watching Strawberry Panic ep 8.

Oh my god, this show is soooooooo cute!!

I saw the first ep way long ago, when it first came out. Heck, I had to, it was billed at the yuri show of the year, borrowing shamelessly from Marimite and a gaggle of other works. Mediaworks at their plagaristic best, ya know?

First ep = some oneesama girl like practically assaulting some kohai girl.

Okay, pass. Neither character appealed, and I only go for shows where I like the characters, or the plot or atmosphere is extremely good, such as in GitS.

But last week, I went to London on vacation and suddenly found myself with time to kill. Like, I’m not working frickin’ 80-90 hour weeks anymore. And on blogsuki people were raving about the ending to Stopa… I had to see it.

And so I did. Up till ep 6. It was hard going. I found it boring. I don’t like Nagisa. I keep getting her mixed up with Shizuma (coz Nagisa just sounds like such a seme name) and I don’t care for Nagisa and I think Tamao is kinda freaky…

But… I figured, what the hey. Coz I have time to kill and 50 billion people worship Yaya so there’s gotta be something about this show, right?

Yeah… I watched ep 7 on the plane. Back from London. Feeling miserable that I had left a bunch of good friends for Hell On Earth.

Ep 7 is the one with the psycho duo from Spica. And suddenly, SP wasn’t so innocently anymore. Almost kisses my @ss, those two Spica girls are like… … … ahem, excuse while I wipe my fogged glasses. Holy shit, this is not something you watch out of the safe confine of your room, girls. This is pretty damn hardcore.

Um. I thought it was pretty frickin’ awesome :D

Geh, so sue me, I’m a dirty ol’ anime fan.

Excuse me. “A bee always goes for honey.” Dude, those girls are underaged and highly dangerous. And all that weird ass psycho ‘I’m so awesome’ shit when trying to practically rape some 14 year old? Um… yeah. Needless to say I had to see more of this show ^^;;;;;;;

Okay I’m a sicko. Actually no. I was very much disturbed by that scene with Kaname. Kaname should be like neutralized. And nuetured. Yah. And icky as Akio, and that’s saying a lot.

But hey, that brings us to ep 8. Which is the cutest ep in the world. Who knew a lost umbrella would be sooooo cute?! Absolutely awesome. And I hate ‘cute’.

So, I guess I’ll be stickin’ with this one all the way. Even if I don’t give much more than a rat’s behind for Nagisa and Shizuma. Go Yaya! I know you’ll get shafted in the end because you have that aura of tragedy, but dammit… dammit! Go Yaya!! But, I also like Hikari. And Amane. Dammit! Threesome!

Excuse me, I’m high on jetlag.
