Strawberry Marshmallow OVA

Ichigo Mashimaro OVA is indeed a continuation of "cute girls do cute things in cute ways". The only differences from the original 12 episode series is, this one only has 3 episodes and it has a new OP and ED theme added to it. As you may know from the original series, their fun and adventures of their daily lives continues on by 4 adorable 3rd graders and 1 big carefree sister. As a group, they continue to entertainment themselves from the activities they do and the things they say on a day to day basis and for us, its joyful entertainment whilewe are being amused by their vivid imagination and events in which they occur. No doubt, this series could easily turn out into another 12 episode series where more fun and games can be introduced into their daily lives. As long as they keep the activities different, I don't see how it will fail. In conclusion, a good way to finish up the whole series in general. While there no real ending, you just can't help but imagine what new adventures they are up to next.

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

Informative review. This can really just be looked at as an extension of the main series. There is really nothing here that is special in its own way—it's really just the typical plots—enough so that it differentiates from the main series. What you find in the original is also present here, just new stories are to be found. The only main difference that really exists is the new character designs; the eyes changed. The character change doesn't harm experience and although it is noticeable enough to get your attention more times than not, it is nothing drastic or experience-ruining; it is something to take note of asyou go on in the series. The OST lies in a similar situation as the original in terms of quality and variety. It just has a different OP and ED. I would go ahead and watch this if you liked the main series, there is really nothing to lose here truthfully. It's not like this is for mega fans of the series too, this can be looked at as an extension.
