Strawberry Panic Episode 1 Summary :)

 Hey guys! It's Liz here with a summary of the first episode of Strawberry Panic up my sleeve yo! I previously reviewed the series in February, but now, I decided to start summarizing some of the episodes.  Of course, you all know that Tamao (the character in the image above) is my favorite!  So now, I shall begin!
 It all starts with the protagonist of the show, Nagisa Aoi, on her way  to Astrea Academy, an all-girls' private school ^ ^  When she reaches the outside of the academy, she admires all of the other girls' uniforms and isn't paying attention to where she is running, and tumbles down a hill through trees!  Confused, Nagisa is now lost and doesn't know where to go in this forest since she fell... 
 All of a sudden, out from behind a tree, a silver-haired girl appears! O.O  To Nagisa's surprise, she falls backwards!  Then, the silver-haired girl picked up the belonging tht Nagisa dropped and handed it to her.
 Next thing you know, the mysterious girl kisses Nagisa on the forehead!!!!!!! Then, Nagisa faints, and soon wakes up to.....
 THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!  Nagisa is then freaked out, and then remembers why she fainted in the first place.  This blue haired girl introduces herself as Tamao, and tells Nagisa that she is her new roommate.  She then asks Nagisa if she can borrow a moment of her time...  Tamao then pulls out a roll of measuring tape and takes Nagisa's measurements.  She claims that it is for Nagisa's uniform, but I think that Tamao just wanted Nagisa's measurements anyway XD
Then, Tamao gives Nagisa a tour of the Strawberry Dorms where she will be staying.  Nagisa then asks Tamao why she took her measurements, and she says that it is for her book of everything about Nagisa :D
 Next thing you know, it is time for dinner, and Nagisa sees the silver haired girl from before that kissed her on the forehead!  Nagisa then confronts the girl, not knowing who she is or anything.  Little does Nagisa know that this silver-haired girl is the Etoile of Astrea Academy O.O  When Nagisa soon discovers this, she is deeply embarrassed and doesn't know what to do, because whenever she looks into the silver-haired girl's eyes, she can't move (like sheh is overwhelmed by her beauty or something).
 The Etoile then grabs Nagisa around the waist and Nagisa tells her,  "You can't do this!".  Then the Etoile says, "Who says I can't?"  And is just about to kiss her, when she is stopped by Rokujo, a girl with short blue hair and yellow eyes (you'll recognize her when you see the episode). 
Later that evening, Nagisa and Tamao get ready for bed.  Alot of exciting things await!  Lemme tell ya, this is one awesome show :D
 Stay tuned for the next episode to see what happens next! This is Liz, over and out! Thanks for reading my summary :)

Strawberry Panic Review (hot off the press)

 Hey guys! It's Liz here with a review on Strawberry Panic!  Strawberry Panic is a romantic/comedy shoujo-ai anime (one of the best anime out there, in my opinion).
  The story of the anime revolves around Nagisa (as seen in the image above) transferring to an all-girl Catholic school, called Astrea Academy.  On her first day there, she stunbles into a silver long-haired girl (little does she know that this woman is none other than the Etoile).  The Etoile is the most respected student of Astrea Hill Academy.  There are three schools on the campus throughout the strawberry dorms: Miator (the one that Nagisa is in), Lerim, and Spica.  Nagisa soon finds a hierarchy throughout the school, and, with her newfound feelings towards Shizuma, decides to face her past head on. Now, lemme introduce the characters :D
 This is Shizuma Hanazono, a bold, attractive woman with long silver hair.  She is none other than the Etoile of Astrea Academy.  She develops feelings for Nagisa instantly while overcoming the pain of loss of her first love, Kaori. (but I shall not spoil too much for ya)
 This is Tamao, my favorite Strawberry Panic character :D
She has a great personality- she is kind, loyal, honest, and is always there for Nagisa.  She has secret feelings for Nagisa and is going through the hard time of unrequited love :( 
Love triangle here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 This is Amane.  She is the "prince" of Spica girl's academy.  All of the girls simply adore her, and she is one of the most popular students at the academy. 
 This is Hikari- she falls head-over-heels for the "prince" of Spica, Amane.  She sings in the Saintly choir and is best friends with Yaya.
 This is Yaya.  She is best friends with Hikari, and also sings in the Saintly choir.  She has secret feelings for Hikari and is going through mixed emotions of unrequited love as well.  She always supports ikari no matter what, and is always faithfully by her side.
 The characters of this anime are simply wonderful, and it is very easy to relate to each individual character's problems if you've ever been in love.  This anime is about true love, being yourself, friendship, pain of loss, and unrequited love.  It is a beautiful series, I must say!  There are 26 episodes total, each about 21 minutes each.  I would give this anime an OVER 9000/10!!
and there you have it! oh yeah, and there's also a manga for strawberry panic as well! there are two volumes total and you can find it in your local bookstore/anime store.  The manga is great as well- a little different from the anime, but still good :D
this is Liz, over and out!
