THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I've decided to start doing mini discussions for Strawberry Panic to raise my post count and to see what others thought. I'm sure more people are watching it now since the dvd release.

This episode introduced us to the lead girls and some delicious yuri. Hopefully it gets even better from here.

This is the only yuri anime I've ever watched, so the first episode was kinda awkward for me, but it was still enjoyable. And yea I thought Tamao was going to rape Nagisa, but instead she was doing something even creepier and more stalkerish

Oh my...all the yuri.xD

Well, this show certainly lives up to it's name. It's very entertaining.
Certainly more so than a lot of the anime I've randomly clicked on recently.

And this one is so Western that I saw them pray in giving thanks for a meal.
And that statue was either a beautified Catholic martyr, or the Godhead as a woman Goddess.

Am I gonna get to see them do the Lord's prayer at night too.xD

A lot was squeezed into this one episode. It gave you a good idea of what to expect for the rest of the series.

Okay so this will be my first Yuri anime and I have to say so far I really like Nagisa, she is sweet and has that virginal spunk. Etoile is beautiful and obviously experianced in getting what she wants? I don't know but it seems good and onto episode 2!

Somehow the combination of Church/Catholicism + Yuri makes me laugh.. and first time I saw Etoile I thought she was a man from a shoujo anime or so.. doesn't really look good in my view.
Nagisa did quite funny debut, obvious how it would go but still well staged.

Cool OP from Misato Aki and ED was also very nice.

Nagisa is so cute :)
At first I thought Shizuma is going to be cold and, well, a b1tchy girl. But instead she moves on Nagisa from the start, interesting :D It's also kind of funny to see how almost everyone seem to be lesbian :D
This is going to be my first real yuri anime, so I'm looking forward to it!

Strange episode.
That ending wtf is that?
Dat op was good.
Everyone is a lesbian? lol. That white hair girl knows how to kiss.
Hate Nagisa. Tomoe is cute.
2/5Will try at least four episodes or five to see if it's good.

I really can't stand Nagisa. She's so weak and pathetic. I hate weak heroines. She's the reason I dropped this the first time.

I really like Shizuma... she's cool and beautiful and mysterious.

I wonder if I'll get through it this time...

Well, this is my first time watching a truly yuri anime, so here I go! Nagisa seems like a cute heroine, quite likable so far. Her roommate is pretty funny, I like her as well.

Etoile, though... honestly, she looks kind of like a man. Plus she crossed the line of mysterious and went straight into creepy. :D Well, we’ll see where this goes from here.

The opening felt like I was watching the introduction of an eroge or something. I see they've wasted no time jumping right into the yuri, Etoile is such a tease and Nagisa is really adorable when she gets flustered up. It looks like every girl wants to hop onto Nagisa's di--ah wait, that is to say that she's got quite a following already.

Re-watch marathon. Let's see if I'll actually change my opinion by the end of the series.

I'm trying hard but it's really hard not to compare this to MariMite XD "Oh look it's a Yumi-like character.Oh it's Sei-sama! Next up is Yoshino-chan. Then it's Youko-sama! Hasekura Rei spotted!"

She's intimidating! Or at least she could easily be if she wanted. She reminds me so much of Signum that I'ma look up her VA. O.o
But seriuos when i saw this episode for the first time i thought tamao-chan was gonna rape nagisa-chan when she locked that door....xP
She's such a perv! XD Meister Hayate~! I think we found another of your relatives~!

She's like a genki version of Fūko from Strawberry Eggs. Interesting title co-incedence, there...

TBH the first ep felt a bit rushed, and I wish it wasn't so obvious just how much yuri there is/will be - I prefer having a few eps of "Ooo? Are they really?" Still, tho, this is looking like fun.

Not at all impressed by the OP and ED tho. The OP feels too much like Railgun's (which would be just fine if it actually were anything like Railgun) and the ED just makes me go "...Wut?"

Speaking of Railgun...can we get the head sister into a fight with the Tokiwadai dorm supervisor? -.- With any luck they'd mutually annihilate...

I adored the first episode!. i cannot wait for more of this. Etoile is a babe.I don't care how much yuri there is at the beginning. Throughout this just FIRST episode I blushed so much and squeed. I know I will be doing this for the rest of them. Or I hope so.

I was also, not feeling the ending theme song. I don't like it. It's kinda BLEH.

White haired girl isn't feeling beauty of sakura trees anymore.. Interesting start.. Like, life recently not so colorful?.. And "since when", she wonders..
Does everyone is creep in this academy, staring at that new girl silently?.. ;p First white haired one, now blue haired one.. Just kidding, of course, but just amusing little thing.. ;p
Or.. Or are they really all creeps?.. ;P
I don't like that fear in the eyes when Tamao was told that director was waiting for her..
I'm just at the edge of hysteria most of the episode.. Anime knows how to keep you tense so far.. ;p At the same time it's bizarre and funny, but can be quite serious.. Poor Nagisa got too much attention right from start, hope she gets some slack or calm later, as it's really stressful her first day..
I actually doubt that white haired girl is indeed "loved by everyone".. Sounds like it's supposed to be this way.. But supposed is one, and how it is - is another.. I actually hope she doesn't maintain that rapist atmosphere she left.. Not for her support or anything, just that I'd like her as a character more, if she wouldn't give rapist feel.. But well, only start, maybe it was just a single joke.. And she was giving other atmosphere about her as well, like at the very start of episode.. Well, will see, how she is later, but still poor Nagisa for now..

Well, that wasn't an impressive opening episode. Dry typical opening, this seems to sell fanservice or at least I hope. I mean who tries to kiss by the first day and be all up in you, also Nagisa looked uncomfortable too from Etoile's advance.

I bet it's one of those "rape Yuris". Let's see.

I'm here for Shizuma she is so pretty

Nagisa is so adorable.

I'm already shipping them. That way Shizuma first looks at her is enchanting.
Was she just going in for a kiss straight up? Twice? Welp...

Tamao is superrrr extra and into her lol.

Nagisa...girl, you're going to have gay panic is what.

That was a good and intriguing start. Definitely better than I expected. The school and its students are somehow mysterious. I really like this atmosphere.

But wait a minute... 6pm curfew, huh? It's so early! Well, I think that's one of the reasons why the whole place feels so mysterious, haha.

I also like the characters a lot. They are all interesting in their own way. And Shizuma is obviously the most interesting of them all. She really would like to kiss Nagisa. Well, she's a very cute and likable girl after all, but her behavior is still rather odd.

It seems that Tamao is also having a crush on Nagisa. <3

Ok a good start with lots of unabashed yuri! I think it's funny af that Nagisa is so instantly turned on by even the idea of Shizuma kissing her, like to the point that when she attempts to Nagisa falls over afterwards. Im really excited to see how things will develop, I miss it when animes were made with 25 eps like this 🥲. I just know it's gonna be fun to learn more about the school and Etoile. Also 👀 that episode preview, it seems like Shizuma is known for "marking" (I'm assuming kissing or getting with) other students before. Interesting 👀👀.

For some reason i forgot to write about the first episode.

A good start.
Nagisa in a sailor fuku is very cute.

The first meeting with Shizuma is beautiful and legendary.

Tamao lied to Nagisa that she needed to take measurements and just touched her, hehe

The moment when Nagisa made a mistake who is Etoile is very funny, the best comedy moment of the whole series imo.

Well, to say that girls love is common in this academy means to say nothing. Rather GL is the main activity here, and the lessons are secondary lol. Yuri training camp huh?
Not complaining tho, this is how anime about schools for girls should be.
