2. There was no way for me to feel for them, either. They were both underdeveloped, and a sudden angle for Kenjou to admire Amane out of the blue did nothing for me as it was TOTALLY out of the blue.

I don't even care about Miyuki's involvement anymore. She seems to be hatching something in her sleeve, yet the writers hadn't even revealed the slightest implication as to what it is. That's not suspense. That's just them pulling something out of their asses to seemingly buy time. Whatever does happen, I doubt it'll be a truly satisfying ending, so much it is a forced one.

1.Id rather it be cheesy thah god awful, most romatic things like that are cheesy even in real life thats what makes it fun. the main reason why i liked that part was how they portrayed Amanes feelings of Hikari being an angel.

2.Well there were several hints through out the series of how Kenjou really felt about Amane. Also her speech to Momomi sums it all up. She couldnt move forward with her life till she stopped trying to live in Amanes world. Hikari was catalyst to make that happen. With how current things are it gave her the chance to live for her self. She had always cared for Momomi, but couldnt do anything till her feelings for Amane were resolved.

3.Iv gotten a little fed up with it as well but my curosity usually wins in situations like this i just want to know the 411 for my own sake

I can't believe two of my favorite animes I'm currently watching are about to end...well, make that three (Utawarerumono, Strawberry Panic, and Zero No Tsukaima).

CYZ i know how you feel i watching the same 3 you are. what a shame whatever shall we do

Ahh crap i am not going to jump to any conclusions but if that turns out to be true. We are going to see some serverly pissed off people posting in here.

[Shikimori Kazuki]

hm i finish watching ep.25 but yea...like everyone mentioned before...this ep. is more of Hikari/Amane.

Is sad to see how i say..*no progress* yet as to the ending of Shizuma X Nagisa relationship. Well, anyhow next week is the final ep. how it leaves us and me with a satisfying conclusion

Question Is there a symbolic meaning to Shizuma sleeping naked =__=, i mean...is WINTER for sakes, why would she take her clothes off and sleep...thats not right. I assume that shes lonely and all. What you guys think?

Well, some ppl. like sleeping naked because it's comfy. But I can see your point. Maybe she was....feeling hot after the dance with Nagisa ?

You mean for the Nagisa x Shizuma fans? Yep. They'll go like: But from the looks of it, I think it will be an entirely different story, that is, if it was real.

[toronto]

I'm their very true fans (Nagisa x Shizuma). If they are not the real deal, I'll...I'll bomb the studios

Maybe she is preparing herself if Nagisa/Miyuki suddenly attacked her room?

Only bomb? Why not nuclear missiles?

And sorry for the time mistake.. NOW is when the 26th episode of Strawberry Panic gonna air in 3 hours.. *sigh*

[Kinny Riddle]

It's lobbying time for the Saimoe tournament again for StoPani girls.

(Poor Nagisa and Yaya are out, but they were unfortunate that they were drawn against SuzuHaru girls. And yes, I know I'm a biased hypocrite, which was why I didn't bothered to lobby for them, because it wouldn't have made much of a difference as most StoPani fans are SuzuHaru fans as well, which contributed to a large swing in votes. I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a SuzuHaru fan first, a StoPani fan second. )

Anyway, today it's Hikari's turn. Her group is evenly matched, so she'll need all the support if she is to have a realistic chance of getting to the third round.

SO they've hinted that Kaname could have an obsession with Amane.

Some Japanese audiences pointed out the possibility that Kaname could have some kind of feelings for Amane when episode 7 was aired. Though I didn't think so at that time. I also noticed Momomi's way of saying was rather insinuating.

Strawberry Panic often uses these sort of foreshadowing. For instance, when Shizuma asked Nagisa to play the piano with her (episode 6, "Greenhouse"), she said "You can play the piano, can't you?" Maybe she just meant to give Nagisa a push to accompany. But, it seemed to me that she already knew the fact that Nagisa could. I wondered why and how she knew that.

At that time, my interpretation about her words was this: (1) Not only Nagisa but also the other Miator students were generally supposed to have some sort of artistic ability as their social and cultural background. As it was already stated, they came from upper class families. Or, (2) Nagisa must have been able to play the piano because Shizuma strongly wanted so.

And then, episode 17 "Secret" revealed it was Kaori who used to play the tune. So, Shizuma's preconception came from her desire. She hoped (or rather, I should say "wished") that Nagisa could play the piano like Kaori.

Speaking of the piano, there is another subtle thing. Nagisa said she had been practicing the piano for Shizuma (episode 17 "Secret"). Then, when she started it? Probably, it's sometime after episode 13. Although Nagisa and Tamao didn't have their line in episode 13, they momentarily appeared. Nagisa was touching the keys of piano in a dark room of the dormitory. Also, while no one seemed to find Nagisa touching the piano in the summer school (episode 11), Tamao was standing outside of the room this time. So, the scene also hinted Tamao knew Nagisa's nightly practice.

I see where you going i happen to agree with you. I think there could be two reasons

first we could be thinking too much about and she real does like to sleep in the nude. Being winter doesnt really matter im sure her room is heated and the contrast of heat inside and cold outside could make a room feel really good.

Or her sleeping nude may symbloize her sheading her false self. life we she has her school uniform on shes Etolie-Sama not Shizuma. Maybe removing her close is like her taking away the burden on her and to show that she is lonley

Im not ready to be pissed off, I think I will wait to see my self what is going to happend.
GOGOGO NagisaXShizuma
----
But when I watched the episode 25 I affrade of a Nagisa/Tamao ending.
But I think something will happend between Nagisa and Shizuma at the end of the Epis.
But of Nagisa and Shizuma not get there final talk I will get pissed off.

Screwing bombing if it doesnt end the way i want im thinking special forces put together a team invade the studio and make them change the ending to suit our needs.

Sunsh Only bomb? Why not nuclear missiles?

Or if we all a little short on time and feeling lazy this option is a go to. I head that on certain blackmarket sites buy 2 nukes get the third free Getting very anxious about the ending espcially with all the speculations flying around. Ill be satisfied as long as its a GOOD ending.

Anyone know of any new Yuri series making a debut this fall?

Yea maybe she just dont want to be the Etoile anymore, leave the sad and despair past behind and...perhaps start off fresh with Nagisa while naked?.

Yea, nice thought though, Shizuma sleeping nude symbolizing her putting away her Eotile-sama status. So is basically 2 different person. In morning, she seems normal but at night shes a totally different person than the morning personality.

I'm their very true fans (Nagisa x Shizuma). If they are not the real deal, I'll...I'll bomb the studios

nice strategy, though wont it be a nice idea to just make a new studio and make abetter strawberry panic aka VERSION 2. Than, we'll please all our fans and also we crush their studio ^__^. 1 stone hit 2 birds, ne?

Not sure if it was true but someone said that the 3rd season for Marimite will come out this year. What date exactly I do not know.

-> Mmm, don't you think it would be more fun if Tamao-chan is a little more confident on her feelings to Nagisa rather than just accepting the fact that Nagisa loves Shizuma or as long as Nagisa is happy I'm happy kinda stuffs. It would make things much much more entertaining
-> Maybe Tamao-chan knew that she will have the last laugh?

Waw, that's pretty heavy foreshadowing... StoPani has gone beyond expectation again..

So am I. The wine has been prepared, let's have a toast for the ending!!

There's Otome wa Onee-sama [Boku] ni Koishiteru.. But the main character was a boy >.< And MariMite OVA will out this November.. And Nanoha StrikerS in 2007.

[NLTD]

Wow. It doesn't seem like a good season for yuri. Looks like it's Mai Hime/Otome reruns for me then.

And like people have been saying, I don't think it's going to have a good Shizuma/Nagisa ending. Hmm, if it ends up Nagisa/Tamao, can I join the group planning bombings ¬¬ Or possibly even if it's a vague ending *glares at the studio*

[guest]

I have not seen so many fans get this excited about a yuri anime since.....ever! I just want a happy ending of Shizuma X Nagisa. If I don't get it, I will...I will...deliver THE punishment to the studio....which is, make a second season of strawberry panic.

Why can't they have a second season of SP with a story that happens a few years before or after the current one, like My Hime/My otome? Please, please don't make the girls into some cybrog who can make weapons out of nowhere, like My otome.

[toronto]

Yeah baby..I can see many Shizuma x Nagisa supporters that would join me to bomb those creators/storyboard director and etc

Oh it's a very good idea. But we might be the victim as well (Japan is too small to hide)

I agree with what you said. A very well done analysis. That never crosses my mind till you mentioned it. Talking about piano scene, in Ep 17 Nagisa did mention that she's been practicing so that she could play with Shizuma. Now I'm starting to think incident in Ep 12 where Shizuma pawn Nagisa, it's confirm that Nagisa wants it. At first till just now I've always think that scene was rather harsh for Nagisa but then, you see after that scene, Nagisa did press the piano like what you mention in Ep 13. I think from there she practice to play the piano right. If she's mad/feel bad about the pawning, why would she react this way. Now perhaps last scene in Ep 12 indirectly explained that Nagisa feels bad because Shizuma stopped pawning her

This even better. I want them to cut off some characters and make more Shizuma x Nagisa scene. Also, I want Yaya and Chikaru to have their the other half. Yeah baby I'm well-known greedy
