Best anime ... most gayest!

[fembuck]

Okay, so I just got through watching the first episode of Strawberry Panic! and it the most magical, gayest anime ever. I kid you not, it is even gayer than the first couple episodes of Revoluntionary Girl Utena. *dreamy sigh* Shizuma, please be mine ... *girlish twirl*





Description: Nagisa Aoi is a first year high school student who has been sent to the Astraea Dormitory after her parents are transferred abroad. The dormitory houses girls from three different girls' schools: St. Spica's Academy, St. Le Rim Girls School and St. Miatre Girls Academy. There she meets the representative of the three girls' schools, Shizuma Hanazano, also know as the Etoile, who is beloved by all students at all schools. The two of them have an interesting first encounter and Hanazano seems to take an instant liking for Aoi.
Genre: Drama/Romance/Yuri
Episodes: 26 (series complete)

And while I'm on the subject on anime I'll take the time to pimp Death Note as well. I watched the first episode of this series and loved it so much that I went out and bought the manga last week, and I'm already on vol. 7 of it, because it is manga crack and I can't stop reading it. This one's not so much with the gay, but it is cool as hell, and full of Prof. Moriarty/Sherlock Holmes type battles of the wit between the main characters L and Light and I totally dig it.


Description: Shinigami own notebooks called “Death Notes” which are used as killing devices. Whoever’s name they write down in a death note will die within 40 seconds. Shinigami Ryuk dropped his Death Note in the human world where it’s found by honor high school student Light. With the death note actually having directions in it for its use, Light discovers he now has the power to discreetly kill people, and with this new power he plans to change the world in his ideal world by killing off criminals. Eventually the governments of the countries around the world notice the unusual amounts of deaths of their criminals, and figure out someone is behind them, but they have no way of discovering it themselves. That’s when they hire L, a master detective, to find out who is behind the murders.

If anyone's interested in checking out the first couple episodes of the anime, let me know and I can upload them

rest of SP can be downloaded via torrents here:

Thanks so much for the link, I've started downloading the rest of the series *happy dance*

couples-wise, it's not just nagisa & shizuma. all of the characters pretty much dabble in "teh gay". one of the most cracktastic things i've ever seen. shizuma's my fav, though :)

lol, Shizuma/Nigsa is my fav so far, cause Shizuma's my girl. Shizuma is the shiznit, love that chick. Hikari and Amanae are cute too. But yeah, I love how all of them have crushes on each other, it's so bizarre but wonderful. Bring on the crack!

well, you'll love the fact that a few eps on, we see that she sleeps naked.

i really do love shizuma -- her gay & cracktastic self is everything sachiko (from maria-sama ga miteru) should have been if she were more in touch with her wild gay side :) instead of being such a lovable stick-in-the-mud that she is.

I just watched the first episode of Maria-Sama Ga Miteru thanks to one of those very helpful links you just posted for SP downloads and I'm loving it, and at least in this first ep. can totally see the connection between Sachiko/Yumi and Shizuma/Nagisa. They (S/Y) seem to be embracing the gay much more so far (Yumi's crush is already well developed, and Sachiko is all 'stay over at my place baby, and we'll sleep on ajoining mats), but I'm guessing they just keep on teasing whereas Shizuma actually put the moves on Nagisa.

Still, after one episode Sachiko is totally my homegirl (rich, beautiful, refined girls who serve as mentor figures just *le sigh*).

Totally looking forward to the rest of the series, even if everyone doesn't end up having sex like in SP (except for poor Tamao-chan, lol. Awwww).

i rec'd marimite awhile back er... ::checks LJ for links:: and you can direct download the first season here:

http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/www.muffindomain.com/Maria-sama%2520ga%2520Miteru/

and yeah, sachiko's a giant tease, but yumi's a lucky gal anyway -- sachiko's constantly touching her, btw. yumi must be a very frustrated girl too ;-)

*bows down*

*seems to doing this quite a bit, considers buying a comfy kneeling pillow*

Thanks for the link! And that site allows multiple downloads Woo Hoo! I don't know how I missed the rec before, but I'm certainly going to rectify that situation. I've been so trained on subtext that it doesn't matter to be really as long as they continue to tease, sometimes the teasing is hotter (e.g. South of Nowhere Season 1).

sachiko's constantly touching her

LOL. Oh Sachiko, doesn't know the power she has over the fairer sex. The touching thing much run in the family, I remember in the first episode her brother had his arm around Yumi's younger brother. Just a sexy mentor family that I guess, lol.

*goes off to download more schoolgirls in love*

"haru" is second season, btw.

and that's not sachiko's brother -- it's her gay fiance. and he does have a thing for yumi's brother.

that other site (where the SP downloads are) offers the second season of marimite. the direct download link i gave ya has first season eps.

"haru" is second season, btw.

Thanks for the heads up, I was so confused! I had no idea what was going on, I didn't even notice that some of the episodes had 'haru' attached to them until you mentioned it. I've got it all straightened out now though :D

and that's not sachiko's brother -- it's her gay fiance. and he does have a thing for yumi's brother.

lol. Seriously, everyone's having a gay (slightly incestuous, oh kissing cousins) old time on this show.

I had a marathon today and just finished the season 1 finale and now declare Sachiko/Yumi the cutest ever. Sachiko learning how to order food (and then forgetting to pick it up), buying blue jeans together, and then the nervous post-date phone call = love. Bring on season 2!

::chuckle:: actually, sachiko's gay fiance is... wait for it... her cousin. yup. lol. sachiko's mother's brother's son. lol.

btw, i'm posting the marimite manga (i thinking of just posting the yumi-sachiko arc thus far) on my LJ, so heck, drop by if you've got time to read up. as far as the manga, the scan group is up to the "white petals" -- sae (i.e. rosa gigantea) arc, so you've already seen that if you've polished off season 1.

lol. scahiko's adorable like that -- and gosh, so rich that she's never had fast food! and the phone convo was cute to the extreme :)
