I'll be the first to admit that the plot could have been average or even just random "slice o life" bits and I'd have been okay with it -- it's just kind of nice and nostalgic to see the girls doing their daily routines. OVAs are perfect for that sort of fix.
More points for character evolution though... after all, life is transitory.

More Ichigo Mashimaro is what I wanted and more I.M. is what I got.
I think I prefer the opening of the TV series a bit more and the way their eyes are drawn now takes a bit to get used too, but overall, a very nice and cute OVA. Oh, and it was also a bit of a letdown to see this lasting less than 25 minutes. I was actually hoping for the whole deal to last 50 minutes (like the Marimite OVA's) at the very least. Though, I guess the size of the file sorta gave this away since the beginning. >_< !!

I give this episode a 10 in prettiness ... the detail in the animation is very nice to linger over. The ED is exceptionally listenable... I liked the pacing of the OP with the visuals though I was more ambivalent about the music itself.
and the 25 minutes goes by way too quickly. The eternal Miu-sensei battle topped by sensei's remark to Chika, the unmasking of Ana (and we get to see a bit of Ana's parents )... (babble continues but the reader shall be spared)

That was a wonderful watch, just like Ichigo Mashimaro always has been. I loved it especially for the amount of Nobue alone scenes --- though people are going to know that already by the size of my Nobue love. :3
& seriously, i was waiting for a Sasazuka scene. Those scene's can never get boring, like the whole show.

But I hope the Strawberry Marshmallow (TV) U.S. DVDs sold well enough for Geneon to consider obtaining the OVA license one day. |
