To quote Strongbad in his "Fisheye Lens" video, "That makes me uncomfortable!!!" My thoughts exactly on Ichigo Mashimaro Encore... Well with only two episodes to comment on, it's hard not to talk much about the story. It kinda melds together with the OVA and they came in the same DVD set that my sister bought for us to watch. The first episode had Miu taking a trip to the afterlife, which was in some ways hysterical, and in others pretty discomforting. Miu's one-liners were hilarious ("Taxi!!"), but lifting up Ana's skirt was NOT. It's a common theme with the show, very funny and cute stuff withreally disturbing lolicon crap added too. Just look the other way...these episodes felt more original and unique than the OVA did though.

Art was done differently, just didn't look as sharp or well done as the original or OVA. Ranked it lower because of that.

Voice acting was fine, but the theme songs weren't that great. Lower score because of that too.

Characters were themselves and then some, really kept it true to the original series. On this part, they will not disappoint!!

It was enjoyable, but you have to sit through the lolicon stuff that makes you really uncomfortable. It's a shame too,the entire series would be so cute and still very funny without all of that crap.

Still a decent "2nd season" to the show and worth watching if you liked the first. The jokes are funny, just try and ignore the loli stuff and you'll be fine. Worth a watch for sure!!!
