Strawberry Panic just serves to further prove that unless you have someone extremely talented like Dezaki working with the concept, stuffy 1% private academies are the worst setting in anime. Castle-like courtyards and dorms are a bore, oujosamas are the single worst character archetype in existence, and the infinite retread of issues of jealousy, hierarchy, and class is pretty insufferable. Oniisama e is amazing, but every other show that plays this stuff straight? Nope.
On one hand I kind of agree that the whole super exclusive school idea has been way played out, I still enjoy such shows because there is normally some dark secret that makes things interesting. Plus the outfits and characters are usually cute and there is inevitably someone in the series who is certifiably insane.
But what if cute was in cute?
When Cute transcends itself to another level of existence it is exempt from my previous rules.
That cat is from Acchi Kochi, right? Is it good?
If you just want to watch something cute with a touch of puppy love in it yes. Not much happens, but what does is absolutely adorable. Tsumiki has some of the cutest reactions to things I have ever seen.
I've seen or heard quite a few people refer to anime characters as being "glassy eyed freaks", looking at all these Chitanda gifs I don't think she's really helping to change that perception haha.
I remember some of the backgrounds in this episode looked really low budget. When the girls were trying to recruit the new girl there was a static painted or sketched type background but with students added as well. It looked kind of strange to me seeing the girls literally standing around talking for a couple minutes, where these people in the background just stood absolutely still. It probably would have looked a bit better if they didn't include them.
It's certainly one of those scenes of the show I'll probably remember long after it has finished airing.
I like Chitanda. she can be cute, if not overbearing, but I got over the whole "ooh pretty eyes" thing quickly. They are pretty unsettling after a while. I think they overdid it.
On the lesbian scale though, I suppose it goes SP > M > O.
Well I chose the right one then! I wanted YURI. Not "yuri~" or "yuri "
Looks like I got what I was looking for.
I know you were just posting a pic of the best girl and had no ill intent towards misaki right?
