DVD Reviews of Strawberry Panic 2: Second Star (Sub)
DVD Review: For what it is...
Summary: 5 Stars
Strawberry Panic! volume 2 involves the continuing adventures of the girls on Astrea Hill, divided into three schools: Saint Miator, developing tomorrow's housewives with strict rules and tradition; St. Spica, focused on athletics and leadership; and St. Lu Lim (or Lilim or Lulim, depending on what translation you're looking at), the least intensive of the three with many clubs and fun activities to fill free time.
Each episode is a cute, stand-alone story involving things like trying to find a lost umbrella, studying for an exam, or going to the beach. Underneath these stories, however, is a constant romantic tension: all of the girls are interested in other girls (in fact, not a single male appears at any point in the show!).
The main focus this DVD (and in the series) is St. Miator, which follows Nagisa Aoi, a cheerful 15-year-old and her romantic entanglements with her roomate Tamao and the beautiful Shizuma, an older and very amorous school star. However, one episode moves us over to St. Spica, where our main character Hikaru Konohana and her "prince" Amane Otori (pictured on the box cover) are trying to overcome their shyness enough to start a relationship. Not all the girls at St. Spica are very nice, however, and Hikaru quickly finds herself the target of a very nasty predator.
Strawberry Panic! is unusual: it's a show aimed at adult men written by a woman focusing on adolescent lesbianism. The sexuality, therefore, though written to appeal to men, still has a definite female point of view in parts. Still, a lot of the more blatant sex in the manga and novels was cut out. If you're looking for racy material, you'd do better to check out Strawberry Panic! books.
Strawberry Panic! is cute, fun and full of likeable characters and constant soap-opera entanglements. If that's not your thing, I definitely advise you to stay away. But if you enjoy shoujo ai ("girl's love"--that is, lesbian elements), cute adolescent love stories and/or simple, funny plotlines, this is definitely one to check out.

Description of Strawberry Panic 2: Second Star (Sub)
Settling into the second chapter of her life, Nagisa Aoi experiences both normal and abnormal things as a student in an all-girl high school. Various issues creep up as the school year progresses, including the election process for the next Étoile, mysteries regarding the dorms, and the midyear exams en français. Luckily, with summer break after those tests, Nagisa and many of her friends are able to enjoy a trip to the beach to bond and explore their relationships with one another.Bestsellers in DVD
