Any Strawberry Panic fans here ?
I am. Was the first yuri / shoujo-ai anime I saw. I loved it and still do. I enjoyed Nagisa x Shizuma, but I didn't care too much for Hikari x Amane
>>1907168
Same, and some parts of the anime made cry.
>>1907164
I am, i know it's bad, but i don't care, there is just something magical about it that sucks you in and you don't even notice how ridiculous it is until it's over
And the Openings are awesome
>>1907164
Well, there certainly are people who still mad.

>>1907191
When I watched it, I didn't even know Nagisa x Tamao was a thing.
>>1907164
Its been years since I watched it. The only thing I remember about it are the openings and Chikaru being the best girl
Now I kinda want to rewatch it
>>1907221
>Chikaru
She's such as a beautiful onee-sama who is so kind but can also be very passionate.
>>1907221
btw i'm still hoping Season 2 for like 10 years now
>>1907164
I started watching it for the first time recently. Only 7 episodes in, but I'm really enjoying it so far. Everybody's wonderfully gay, and the soundtrack is really nice too.
>>1907168
if only Amane had retained her personality from the light novel that pairing wouldn't be so unbelievable boring. sure,Hikari would still be a moeblob and nothing else,but a least one half of the pairing would catch your attention .
>>1907164
Came for the Mai Nakahara (following on from watching her in Mai_Hime) and stayed for the Chikaru.
>>1907241
Is it me or blue and bear girl look like they are about to cry?
>>1907214
What's this?
>>1907253
Polls for favorite pairings during the short stories.
>>1907253
Basically a poll for which pairing the readers liked best.
>>1907268
lel,why is he posting those? is he still so butthurt over the anime ending?
If only more Yuri anime could be like this, everyone is basically gay n they are not afraid of what the society outside thinks. They are mainly focus in their own world
Hikari no longer has a voice :(
>>1907273
I agree.
>>1907276
Only with Miyuki.
Tamao with Nagisa is more popular.
>>1907179
awe. which parts?
>>1907221
I tend to rewatch it every now and then. I kind of just skip the Hikari x Amane moments tho ha
>>1907348
>if I keep spamming about it it will become real
>>1907350
I think nobody likes them
>>1907350
HikarixYaya OTP
>>1907356
Hikari doesn't deserve Yaya. let her stay with her boring ass prince instead.
>>1907354
It already is.
>>1907359
only in your delusions,anon
>>1907368
And in official media.
>>1907374
>in official media
top kek
Really want to check this out, but I heard Nagisa is a fucking idiot and after the direction ST randomly took with Haruka I really don't want to deal with that again.
On a scale from 1 to 10 and beyond how bad is she?
>>1907389
She is a cringey clumsy girl in the first episodes but i don't remember her being oblivious or "retarded" like Haruka
>>1907389
personally,I think she's the best part of the show. comparing her to Haruka is really unfair,Nagisa actually realizes her feelings for Shizuma and acts on them.the only ones calling her a fucking idiot are the tomato fans still butthurt because Nagisa always only had eyes for Shizuma
>>1907397
Should you throw them a bone about multiple realities?
Silly people, the best pairing is obviously Nagisa x Everyone.
>people are still upset over best girl winning the Nagisabowl
>all these different artstyles
Wow. There is a LOT of fan support for this pairing.
Anyone have screencaps from the in-show sex scenes?
>>1907486
>>1907489
Lewd
>>1907487
Well it is the original pairing.
>>1907509
>third wheel
>>1907413
I wonder what she's thinking about?
I'm used to it at this point, but I just have to strongly disagree that Hikari and Amane were boring. The scene where Amane gets her memories back of Hikari is tied for Shizuma's painful memory scenes for most moving, for me. Not sure what is boring about two high school girls falling in love, but I'm fine being alone in my good taste.
And really, you assholes can't for once forego making the same inane complaints about them you always make a week after Hikari's VA died?
>>1907539
Once you go blue you never go back.
>there are potentially posters on /u/ who were born during StoPan's airing
Scary thought
Thanks for giving me pictures for my Tamao/Nagisa folder /u/ they really are best pairing
>>1907570
Your welcome
for the tomatofags
Probably not a common pairing.
TamaoxNagisa
>>1907168
Should have been Hikari x Yaya.
Girl with the bear and Shizuma were best girls.
>>1907873
>>1907874
>>1907164
Kinda funny to see that image since I bought this from the weeaboo mugshop in my town the other day, I don't even like Shizuma
YayaxTsubomi OTP
>>1907878
So they steal art and print it on mugs? Can't you just do that yourself online?
>>1907251
it might have been intentional I think.
>>1908064
Yeah
Best Tamao pairing is Tamao x Hikari...actually, that might've been quite an interesting story.
Sometimes, it's easy to forget that Yaya is actually a year younger than Nagisa.
>>1908130
Interesting indeed, but what about this ship?
Canon pairings best pairings.
>>1907384
this part always makes me happy with goosebumps
>>1907874
Yeah I preferred that couple actually over Hikari x Amane
>>1908146
Yup
>>1907873
Huh?
Ten years later you tomatos still cant let go huh
Tamao was literally too beta to claim her waifu and allowed herself to be keked
>>1908247
Cry more
>>1908247
>Tamao was literally too beta
It wasn't even that. She creeped the fuck out of Nagisa who was constantly troubled by her advances which were not reciprocated. Tamao never stood a chance to begin with even if she had raped Nagisa on the spot day one.
>>1908230
I think that's a shot from the ED mv of the anime. Btw, they also voiced Mai and Mikoto in Mai HiME/ Otome. And I think they're also good friend in real life.
I shipped Nagisa and Shizuma though.
It's been 11 years. Tomatofags should listen to the Snow Queen's advice and
>>1908313
is just some autistic dude spamming crappy fanart everytime someone says something he doesn't like.I want to believe most tomatofags are in a good place now
>>1908326
>>1908313
>>1908326
Omly if Shizumafags stop caring about ShuzumaNagisa.
It's almost a decade and still can't get over it. Nagisa never gave Tamao even a slight chance.
>>1908360
>>1908360
I assume the Voters wanted the ShizumaxNagisa so it can't be helped.
According to what I read on wikipedia, there used to be a self-insert who was effectively a older sister to the main Astraea characters. It doesn't appear as though there was het incest since the role of this self-insert was to give advice to the freshman MCs (Nagisa, Hikari, Kizuna).
I can almost imagine the advice Mr Otaku as the baka onii-chan could give to a young girl dropped into a environment full of attractive lesbians.
>>1908367
Isn't that the PS2 game?
I read that you could choose to play with either a Male or a Female MC, but if you choose the Male MC you experience everything from letters/e-mails from your younger sister, and if you choose the FeMC you experience everything in first person
Seems like a pretty trollish way to include a male SI in a yuri game
>>1908374
Seems like the ideal way to include a male SI in a yuri game.
>>1908380
I wouldn't mind playing it like that
>>1908374
Wait, but if you play as female MC, you don't experience little sister? That's bad. I guess I'll have to resort with Chiyo instead.
>>1907518
Yeah, that and the look on Tamao's face. Damn heartbreaking.
Still a great pairing though. Tamao's 'creepiness' was nothing compared to Shizuma's eccentric and selfish behaviour which brought pain to Nagisa and many other girls.
>>1908360
Read the light novel.
She almost won, untilShizuma kissed Tamao and said something like 'reminds us of when we dated huh' and walked out of the room.
>>1908463
Let it go friend
>>1908313
No one rules over snow.
>>1908464
Wait, seriously?
>>1908463
>Shizuma's eccentric and selfish behaviour
And ignoring Miyuki's feelings and then basically saying that her feelings didn't matter because of her arranged marriage.
>>1908479
But muh cool onee-sama
>>1908472
he's lying. Nagisa never any showed romantic interest for Tamao in the light novels. here,you can check it by you're self instead of believing tomatofag's delusion.
http://www51.zippyshare.com/v/SrJ1hLYH/file.html
>>1908479
Sucks that Miyuki didn't seem to care either, and just let herself be married off without an ounce of protest. She did that to herself.
>>1908380
Well, i mean, a yuri fan would probably choose the female MC (i know i would, even if i'm a guy) and ignore the Male MC route
But how would a SIfag feel like when he chooses the Male MC but "he" doesn't get to interact with the girls?
I mean, i'm not saying he should be the actual MC who gets to date the girls or that there shouldn't be the option to play with him, but it certainly goes against what you would expect for Male SI route
>>1908464
My god, the delusions of Tamaonerds reached a new low.
Shizuma? more like SHITzuma!
>>1908374
>>1908502
The game is literally the same either way, the only difference is the little segment at the end of each day. If you're playing in "girl mode", then your character will write in her diary about the events of the day. If you're in "boy mode", then your character will write a letter to her oniichan instead, telling him all about how she went dokidoki with the cool oneesamas.
Aside from that, you control the girl like normal. It's pretty pointless.
>>1908555
I'm not biased and I say this thread is starting to get shitty. This faggot seems to obnoxiously reply with fanart every single fucking time someone says or posts something they don't like.
>>1908615
It's a typical Stopani thread on /u/ for the past 6 years. I kid you not, every year we just increase the number in "it's been x years and tomatofags still mad."
That said, I've developed a Stockholm Syndrome for the tomatofags. It won't be the same without them.
>>1908615
>>1908374
>if you choose the Male MC you experience everything from letters/e-mails from your younger sister
>Seems like a pretty trollish way to include a male SI in a yuri game
Eh, sounds like a /u/ simulator.
>all the fiction ITT
will there ever be a more butthurt shipperbase?
>>1908791
Noefags.
On that note I find True Tears to be the most hilarious series name of all time.
Fuck all this. let's have more Yaya.
For some reason, the more I think about the anime, the less I like it. Probably because I read the manga first and holy fuck, the changes (like Kaname... Jesus).
>>1908036
I prefer Tamao x Nagisa
>>1908861
I guess some people do enjoy being NTR'd.
>>1907182
I actually found myself absolutely furious that everything turned out the way I hoped it would in the end. It was such a strange sensation.
Don't worry, Tamaofag-chan! I'm sure she will find someone like Nagisa one day. And so she can be NTR'd again as usual.
>>1909014
On the topic of Tamao, I have been rewatching the anime and she was creepy as fuck in the early episodes
There is something really unsettling about her and this is something coming from someone who likes rapists and stalkers
>>1909178
You're imagining things.
>>1909178
Shizuma gives off more stalker/rapist vibes than Tamao.
>>1909182
That's because she is a stalker and a rapist, but it's acceptable if you're cool and beautiful.
>>1909182
She was a bit aggressive with her flirting but it wasn't that creepy whereas within 5 minutes of screen time Tamao was creeping on her while she was sleeping, creeping on her when she woke up, trick her into taking off her clothes, forcibly took her three sizes and started treating her like she was her doll
>>1909178
Tamao gives me the vibe of a creepy stalker girl who stalks almost every single girl she ever talks to and aggressively collects their personal information. And one day she loses it and rapes one of the girls in a dark alley. Then she goes back to her refined catholic school girl self for a while but then her sexual frustration builds up again over time and she repeats.
>>1909244
I'd watch that.
>>1909178
Not really.
>>1909246
A yuri story of the stalker girl like that with another girl who's deeply in love with her would be nice.
>>1907560
So 9 year olds post on /u/?
>>1910559
/v/ expats, mostly.
Kaname was cool. She deserve all the yuris.
Shizuma x Nagisa.....yaaay ^^
>>1911000
Tamao X Nagisa is better.
>>1907164
dat opening song
>>1907486
I laughed so hard during the end. It was perfect how she cuntblocked Tamao in that cathedral
>>1912107
Kuchibiru daydream > Shoujo meiro de tsukamaete
>>1912135
That scene strongly reminded me of The Graduate.
>>1912135
>cuntblock
Now I need to hear this more often.
>>1910987
>short hair
>harem queen
Pick one.
>>1908380
Or just simply make them straight up uninterested. I'd love to see a simple manga or JRPG where the guy has no interest in relationships (no amount of character development ever changes this) and purely focuses on getting shit done while girls in his party lez it up.
Hell, I could write that dynamic in my sleep.
>>1919426
Tales of Vesperia? Yuri's the most notable Tales MC that doesn't have a real love interest and even gives two of the girls their own yuri couple name(Ristelle).To say nothing of all the homo fanstuff between him and Flynn.
>>1909178
Yeeep I've mentioned how she records Nagisa's screams to listen to on a tape but nope that's 'cute'. Shizuma is predatory but at least she's open about it.
For those who understand Japanese, Niconico douga has the drama CD's...
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm353870 Miator
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm431600 Spica
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2533906 Lulim part 1
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2534635 Lulim part 2
Love the Miator and Spica ones. They are definitely raunchier than the anime. The Lulim on the other hand... it's Chikaru x Amane. Amane spoiling everything again.
Yaya a best.
Hikari a shit. A SHIT!
Second season when? We have Star Wars coming out after 69 years
Never ever because Catholic schools full of elegant lesbians is a dead horse setting these days. Too pretentious for TV.
>>1927433
Lesbians trapped on an island is rising to prominence, at least, but one of them already turned out bad.
>>1927416
>Second season when?
when pigs fly,onee-sama.
>>1919423
Is it just me or do some people identify themselves as Tamao because they're just as creepy and perverted as her?
>>1927814
Either way, they need to get a clue and fix their own issues rather than spouting more of their gripes for another 10 years. The way this show ended was good and fine.
>>1927818
>The way this show ended was unsatisfactory
Fixed
Gotta love this melody:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skmosp7x3Sw&list=PLC54364D9FD380A6E
>>1927832
Onee-sama, please. She was supposed to be with Shizuma from the very start. We got the true and best ending. Any other would be that unsatisfactory one.
Have any of you read that Strawberry Panic/Family Guy crossover yet?
I used to ship Tamao until I read the light novels, which are honestly SO MUCH BETTER than the anime in every way - not least in the fact that Shizuma is actually a genuinely likeable character who's really gentle and loving with Nagisa. She definitely deserved to win in the original (and best) continuity.
>>1930041
I like Anime is BETTER.
Is Strawberry panic worth watching if I'm fairly new to the whole setup? I've been told it references dorm-drama shows like Marimite, but to be brutally honest I haven't really seen a lot of those sorts of shows. Is it still worth watching? Will a lot of the humor get lost on me? Should I watch shows like Marimite before hand?
>>1930045
Just watch the damn thing.
Dont worry about "references"
>>1930041
Anime Shizuma was also pretty chill. I think most people disliked her and never rewatched it.
This is coming from someone who read the LN and the manga.
>>1930045
is a romance show,not a gag anime. just watch it and stop over-analyzing every single thing.
>>1930045
Strawberry Panic! is more direct, and is a good romance with little humor and some emotionally powerful scenes whereas Marimite is more ambiguous, romance is only implied except in one maybe two pairings, and has plenty of comic reliefs in what is essentially a roller coaster of emotions. Strawberry Panic! made my cry once. Marimite made me cry four times.
If you really wanna get into the genre, I recommend you save Marimite for last. Sasameki koto, Candy Boy, Aoi Hana, Strawberry Panic! are good, but there is a reserved space in my heart for this anime above all others.
That;s just a personal take, onee-sama. Take it as you like :^)
