Anyone noticing a trend here? Strawberries... makes one wonder if there is something symbolic about strawberries or something. *shrugs*
So I've only wanted a couple episodes of this lesbian laced series. I've heard alot of people ranting about it so I should really get around to finishing it sometime.
Anyways, Who is watching this and how are you liking it?

I watched the whole series last year and it was AMAZING!
It has almost a perfect mix of seriousness and silliness, and lots of fun crushes on everyone, and love, and wow.... I LOVE Amane-Sama, she reminds me of someone in real life... redface heart
Anyway, it's great. I want to buy it on DVD if that's possible.
You should really get to watching it!!!

That series was amazing. I fell in love with it. It made me cry a few times though. I have it on DVD but I don't think there is official one. Just download it from a fansub site and burn it.

With so many people liking it I'm afraid I'll be lynched for speaking ill. I have watched this entire series and read a good deal of the manga and let me say...it is not great. Perhaps I'm just picky...okay...I know I'm picky, but as I stated in my review here, this series is twenty-six episodes of drama. Much of it unecessary. An all girl's boarding school completely comprised of lesbians who happen to fill every possible cliché character profile in existance (minus the male ones) with far too much crying, freakishly distorted proportions (which are NOT found in the manga) and a predictable ending.
The things I do like about this series are that it isn't full of fanservice and I like the closing for the first half of the series (the second half's closing is just scary). And there is a girl on my rowing team named Nagisa who is totally adorable and always makes me think of the series.
Of course, this just being my opinion, each must decide for herself (or himself) whether they feel it is a good series.

The entire series itself was placed in an unreal situation..@_@ But that's what makes it worth watching.

One thing people don't seem to realize is that the entire school wasn't gay, only a circle of friends that the story revolved around. This kind of thing does happen in real life for I was part of a gay circle of friends at school and it always appeared that everyone around us was gay, bi or trans or something along those lines. Life became filled with so much drama because everyone was falling for everyone else and most of us had some sort of issue that would cause even more problems. So in that sense Strawberry was rather realistic. The problem is that most people don't end up in that kind of situation so they don't think a story like this is possible.
Another thing that always bothers me. Why can there be a story where everyone is straight and then when everyone is gay people complain? Hasn't anyone ever seen the gay community? We gather everywhere and stick together. So there is nothing strange about it. *sighs*
Well that is enough grumbling out of me.

I suppose you've got a point there, but even so--if someone's life hasn't involved that sort of situation you can't blame them for not being able to perceive it.
I, for one, never had a circle of friends until recently and havent hung out much with the gay community at my school. Now my relationship doesn't really allow my associating with others and even if it did, none of my friends have ever been anything but heterosexual (save one curious individual and one who is probably asexual--my ex). When I did have that circle of friends I did face the problem of people falling for me, so I don't see this as being unrealistic within a circle of friends at all.
What I find unrealistic is that almost all the individuals who are introduced have such important roles within the school. Obviously I have no problem with the school reps and student council members being gay, although this is probably just for convenience within the series. I can understand the people who are friends to the primary characters bonding over being gay. But all the named characters aren't in the same circle of friends. Yet there is a love triangle of some sort no matter who is on screen. It obscures the other (several) subplots (which I personally find more interesting than romance) and it's far more than is needed.
It's a bit different when you're living the situation. When you're watching others live it you can only absorb so much. The series would have been a lot more powerful, in my opinion, had they toned some of it down a bit.
And to make it worse, of course all the extras they show are swooning over some star student. Commonly seen, yes. But it doesn't help.
As an animation/sequential art/writing student I get very critical about the stories I take the time to watch or read. And even if I ignore the plot in this particular series, the animation is far from great. So once again, I don't hate Strawberry Panic. I just think it could be improved. A lot.
