Strawberry Marshmallow OVA · review
Can't say much that I haven't already said in my Ichigo Mashimaro review to be honest, so this one will be pretty short. Stories in this one were along the same lines, but had even less drive to them than the other series. Not a real big deal, it's SoL so it really doesn't need a knockout storyline. Still, some of the previous series' ones like Nobue getting a job were pretty funny and fresh, with only 3 episodes to make you'd think they could do more of that. Art's the same as before, pretty good and consistent. Girls are animated well and the environmentslook pretty good too.
Voice acting was the same as before, pretty good from what I can tell. However, the OP and ED are pretty crappy. Wish they would have kept the original one or done something better. The "Sour, Round...Hazy Girls" made me go "What series am I watching again??" lol
Same characters, delivering the same style dialogue. Not much to say here, it's the same as the regular series. Feels like going from Lord of the Rings to The Hobbit, not really a big disconnect here.
It was fun to watch! Obviously if you liked the other series you'll like this one since they are super similar. I was HOPING that some of the uncomfortable stuff involving the little girls would be nixed, but it wasn't. Too many close cutoff shots of the girls wearing too little clothing or whatever, and of course Nobue being her creepy self with Ana and Matsuri *eye roll*. Overlooking all that, it was fun and cute.
If you liked Ichigo Mashimaro, definitely watch this one. However, just skip the OP as it's really not worth sitting through LOL
