What about you guys? if strawberry panic is to be er...say...animate at beginning, would you guys use the manga's plot to animate it or use stick it to like this?

I checked out Chapters 1-6 at work today since i had nothing else today. Wow what a diffrence. iF the anime had followed the manga more i think i would have liked more. I even didnt mind Amane but Yaya creeped me out a little

Mmm, good question. I gave up reading on it because I kept watching all the newly downloaded animes (that includes Strawberry Panic of course). I guess if I have the time again, I'll read it....hopefully. Why do you ask?

I read both of them (Manga and Novel) however it share same story.
The plot is so different from the anime but still focus on Shizma/Nagisa and Amane/Hikari couple but Amane/Hikari on Manga version it's really better than the anime is. And also I like Tamao in manga version more than the anime, she is more funny and seem get along with Shizuma sometime

Don't talk about Chikaru, she is so cool where she is , she seem to have big plan for Lulim after all (she was call shadow queen on Manga version)

And after finished novel vol.2, I think in Manga they still be Shizuma/Nagisa couple like in the anime coz it seems Nagisa love Shizuma, she thought about her feeling in the end of the novel vol.2 However the situation between them still not good coz she withdraw from the Etoile contest right now, in the other way Amane/Hikari broke the rule so they was take off the contest.

I have been asking the frequent posters in here. I just wanted to see if you had any feed back on it as compared to the anime. I noticed some real diffrence in the manga that could have helped out the anime.

Your so right the manga plot is so much better and the charcters more intresting. Especially Yaya and Chikaru "Shadow Queen" the anime stays true to the couplings but Amane's personality is nothing like manga's in the anime. I cant wait for more i finshed chapter 10 today

Hey Potholes SP is what you make it, just like Bokura Ga Ita, this series has sparked quite the little war from time to time beware of the flames enjoy. my recommendation is to watch it. its by no means ground braking but its fun

Spoiler for My thoughts on Ep 25:

My irritation with this episode has left my mind numb. I dont know what to do anymore. Amane and Hikari took all the time in episode. So we were only able to catch a little bit on the Shizume and Nagisa front. The dance between them showed how much they still love each other and it is obvious that Shizuma is fighting back her feelings. I really do feel bad for her at last she was able to open her heart to someone and its turning out like this. They better have a good ending to wrap this up i just dont know how the writers plan to do it in one episode.

Two Key points about ep 25 i did like

1. I thought this scene was very good. In japanese Hikari means "light" and Amane always refers to Hikari as an angle. the light shining down on her was beautiful like a divine light from heaven. If only the series had more scenes like it


2. Im very happy that Momoji and Kenjou were able to work things out. Despite the under handed things they did in the past i beleive they really care for one another. Making a fresh start is a good way for them to have a real relationship. Kenjou asking Momoji to start over and also stating that she can now follow her own path is sign of how much she has grown through out the series.


Does anyone have any speculation on what Miyuki ment in her dialog when she was leaving Shizumas room? She said "with this everything will end Shizuma" its obvious what that means. what caught my eye was when she walking out the door she said it again but this time she said it as if it were a question. why would she ask that question after stating such a clear and direct remark. I still think she is up to something

1. Really? I thought it was pretty cheesy how that one ray of light shone on Hikari. Much like their relationship, that scene (and this episode) meant very little to me, if anything at all.

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.

I have always enjoyed the Hikari/Amane arc more than the Shiz/Nag one. So I really enjoyed ep 25.

Miyuki has pushed Shizuma into the current situation. Shizuma was forced to decide what to do. Miyuki said "Now, we have done all we should do (as the leaders of Miator). Don't you think so?" However, it's quite obvious that she was indirectly saying "But are you really ok? If not, then, what do you think you should do next?" That was not a question but an encouragement.

1. Cheesy? Well... THAT'S their selling point! In contrary to exploding relationships in Miator, here we have a normal, cute couple, with some spicy conflicts.
And we like them because they are cheesy and shy thus they're lovely~ <3

2. Out of blue? I think it's Unexpected. They've foreshadowed it in ep. 7, where Momomi commented on Kaname's attention to Amane. In that time, Kaname said that as her biggest rival, she must observe Amane's weakness.
SO they've hinted that Kaname could have an obsession with Amane.

And thanks for pointing out those scenes, Sinestra. Spicas are entertaining, aren't they?

Now it's only three hours for ep. 26 to be aired...

I thought StoPani aired on a Monday *is a little confused*

I ended up downloading the entire series two days just because I was bored and wanted to watch some type of anime (I do things like this a lot ) and I've got to say, I've really enjoyed it so far. Apart from the fact it seems (at least to me) that there won't be a nice Shiz/Nag ending like I was hoping for (watching the whole series in one go kind of gets you really involved in the characters, you know?). And it'd better not be Nagisa and Tamao, that might just make me want to hurt people.

Damn, I'm getting kind of caught up in the whole thing now, more than is probably healthy :P

*goes off to re-watch and get food&

-> Well, that's true. Kaname suddenly admiring Amane is out of the blue. Kaname acts so "manly" to Momomi and Hikari before and now she suddenly feeling a little...how would you say it...girly to Amane. Then again, I'm happy that Kaname and Momomi's relationship was fixed. I guess they're not so evil after all. That light thing on Hikari, IMO, I think that was just a symbol on what Amane said about Hikari being an angel and nothing more. You could say it's half-cheesy and half-romantic in a way.

-> Btw when Nagisa and Shizuma dances, Miyuki said that that's the first beautiful dance she saw on her time in Astraea. What, she didn't see Shizuma and Kaori dance? Or maybe Shizuma and Nagisa's dance is much more beautiful than the one Shizuma and Kaori had.

-> I thought the announcement speech will be a little interesting but I guess not. From the looks of it, Miator students expected that Nagisa and Tamao-chan will be chosen to participate on the Etoile election

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). Da Capo is done but I'm still downloading them and it's taking forever
