Story left much to be desired. The pace of it for was felt so slow. im not sure if i was the constant --lets have a tea party-- or -- make some cookies-- fillers but for me, it felt as if the episode wouldnt end. [not good if im constantly looking at the timer to see if and ep is almost done yet] Not to
say there arnt shipper-arks that i wasnt curious about their ending but where
i was taken in the story was either typical or bland. Somthing that also bothered me was the lack of male characters...ANYWHERE!! no male teachers, vistors...brothers...umm..fathers! O.o someone has to have dad iright?! i understand this is a girls school and yuri..but come on! the setting of the story also bothered me they seemed to never leave their school area ..either to shop or do typical high school stuff [in im guessing japan]
when they did leave it was for romantic tryst in the country or priviate beach. the only thing these girls did for fun were tea parties,school politics,
and make up diff clubs everyday[where id be xD if i was stuck there] just not realistic..even for anime.
Art was pleasent to the eye. i did like their character design; Main
character shizuma's eyes were very pretty. The design of the outfit design was great w/ the 3 schools having diff dress. i liked the layout of the school
and strawberry dorms w/ it heavy cathloic school feel. some charc seem to
have huge craniums and somes the their legs look like flesh colored sticks,but
still not many complaints.
Music meh..not a strong point it seems not even for people
who enjoy this series intro and endings were cutsy ,but not really catchy
or anything memorable..neither was backround music..so meh
Characters i found to be a bit sterotypical either for their
character type or for women in general. Good ex: is Amane: silent,but
kind prince type [she even rides a white horse..star bride..really *face palm*] and the shy sweet princess type:Hikari. is it suprising that she fell for Amane..nope! even if she has perfectly nice,funny, smexy roomate
right next to who'madly in love with her Do they do anything unexpected with this story..they tried xP u wana see a good girl whos
a prince w/ girl princess story watch Rev. Girl Utena..unless u love predictable story. The fact the complex feeling of love and desire wre either limited to one person or solved w/ tea parties or solved w/ tears[via end w/ hikari and her secrect admier] of hopful --i know you love me,but i wana be just friends
sooo can u help me put on this dress for the ultimate date w/ girl i choose over you..thanx ..friend!-- that irked me be/c no one would do that. it also
kinda botherd me that EVERYONE was girlxgirl..there was a mention of male fiance at one point but that was it. but i guess if i was stuck in strawberry dorms for 3-4years id sneak into my roomates bed too xD
So overall This anime could have been much better but hasnt turned
me off of yuri ill just research better on the story next time. Wasnt all bad
even if it took forever for a kiss to happen [and it did!] It had it cute moments
and sexy-steamy moments [some still a let down] but still i cant say it was enjoyable to watch. more frustrating than anythign else. So if you like pridictable story, stereotypical main characters, constant tea parties spiced
w/ few steamy yuri-shipper scenes then this is one anime u shouldnt miss..otherwise wait for another more intracate yuri to come out.
which is what i should have did x3
