Strawberry Eggs - Recommendations

sothis says...

Can't say I liked either series, but both involve copious amounts of perverse ecchiness. Peeping toms, panty shots, and lots of innuendo can be found in each series. If you liked one, you'd surely like the other.

GreenTypeR says...

Both series were a little on the perverted side. The plots have many similarities (female teachers only to female employees/residents only). There seemed to have been many hiatuses in Love Hina's plot, almost qualifying some of them to be labeled filler eps but there are few hiatuses in ecchi content. If you liked this, you'll probably enjoy Love Hina.

Lommi says...

Both I My Me and Love Hina little perverted side of anime world. Similarities are that both animes contain potty humor and embarrassing moments. If you like Perverted, comedic and little embarrassing animes you like this one..

Lothar says...

The similarities between I My Me and Love Hina are numerous. There's lost of ecchi, comedy and some romance. If you enjoy thoose kinds of shows, you'll like these series. Personally I like I My Me better, but with that I don't say that Love Mina is bad. Both series are worth atleast one watch.

freakzilla says...

Romantic series with a comedy touch & peeping toms. There are several simularities between these two animes!

freakzilla says...

Though this comparison only lasts about 6 episodes into Strawberry Eggs, those 6 episodes were so good that i've put it in here. Both are teachers, both are extremely good comedies. After that episode 6 Strawberry Eggs becomes more Shoujo though.

Kietrinia says...

Both "Strawberry Eggs" and Great Teacher Onizuka tell the story of a male teacher who has such a passion and desire to teach that they will go to any lengths to reach their students. Both series dive deeply into the realtionship between teacher and student, and are very touching stories about this kind of love. They both make me wish I had teachers like Hibiki and Onziuka when I was going to high school.

The passion, love, determination, and wisdom these two men show is really inspiring. If you're a fan of high school drama, comedy, and/or stories that really lift your heart, give Strawberry Eggs and GTO a go.

NinjaPirate101 says...

If you liked GTO, or the other way around, you will like the other. Both have teachers, that will do anything for their students. Both teachers get into the lives of their students, learning all the way about everyone. They both have humor/comedy. And they both have an ending that makes you wanting for more.

JohnBeelick says...

They both have a very similar feel and deal with many of the same topics. They revolve around a unique teacher and their students.

SomeoneElse says...

I My Me! Strawberry Eggs and Gokusen share a kinship on many levels, of course the most obvious being that the main protagonist in each is an aspiring teacher who has something to hide. From there the plots diverge quite a bit, but both make great use of the threat of being caught out in the great lie that makes it possible for the protagonist to continue on with their dream. With a similar sense of humor, both of these series are capable of creating a laugh as well as a moment of heartwarming satisfaction.

NinjaPirate101 says...

If you liked Gokusen, or the other way around, you will like the other. Both have teachers, that will do anything for their students. They both get into Sensei/student relationships (not much romantic, as to like getting to know each one.) Both of the teachers have something very important to hide, and if they get caught it will hinder/destroy their teaching career. They both have tons of comedy, and take place in a school setting.

ofall says...

They're both, as mentioned before, about teachers who are hiding thigs (that could very well get them fired), and they both contain teacher-student romance ( more subtle in Gokusen).  Another thing I found similar in both is that they are trying to change things for the better for the sake of their students. Hibiki is trying to make the school less strict about certain things and Kumiko is trying to get her students to learn and maybe straighten them out a bit. They both seem to genuinly care for their students.

Inu230 says...

My teacher has a secret and I must discover what it is!

The vow made by a student (or students) may lead to their own undoing.

Both animes focus on a teacher who has something they don't want their students, fellow teachers, or principal to know. While their individual secrets are dissimilar they are important and potentially illegal. Should the truth come out more than the keeper would be in trouble. Thus both 13 episode animes are filled with classic comedic tension centered around who's gonna find out?

Additionally the teacher protagonist is willing to help their students inside and outside the classroom.

-

The tone for these animes are dissimilar and some may be turned off by the brass adult humor of Gokusen while some may be sickened by the sweet pre-teen humor of  Strawberry Eggs.

Watching both may give you appreciation for a similar idea taken in opposite ways.

abunai says...

A man disguised as a woman, in an all-female school environment, with such skill that he appears to be not only female but also beautiful. Not a common anime plot, but still far from rare.

Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru and I My Me! Strawberry Eggs both have male characters cross dressing in girls' schools, and the focus of all attention. The two stories take a slightly different tack on the consequences of such cross dressing, but the underlying humour and romance are similar.

tetra says...

The main characters in I My Me and Otome wa are in the same predicament: while trying to fake being women they have to avoid detection, deal with admiring girls and they are both take place in a school environment. I think that the similarities end there and they diversify into individual anime that both are very enjoyable.

Both are school-anime with a genderbender twist!

bellatrix4574 says...

Light hearted gender bender. Cross dressing with a healthy dose of forbbiden love. Both are really short and sweet and definatly worth the effort! Neither have overly elaborate plots which may leave the viewer wanting but more than make-up for any short commings in the kawaii factor!  

amateurasu says...

Both tackle gender role issues. Comically, but they do tackle them...

NekoRocket says...

Trying to be a woman isn't easy when you were born a man. Ranma and Hibiki each have to try and conceal their secrets if they wish to overcome their unique set of obstacles. Cute cross-dressing action on both sides, although ranma is prone to actually BECOME a girl. Certainly worth watching for a good laugh.

amateurasu says...

I can't put my finger on the connection here, but I can feel it. Maybe it's the atmosphere, or the "forbidden love" thing... I know that no anime have brought me closer to tears than these two. Well, Haibane Renmei sort of did, but in a different way.

CodeWordChobits says...

If you enjoy high school drama with a twist then these shows are for you. Both of them have very emotionally driven plots, all kinds of zany characters, and something a little more... odd.

Lothar says...

While I My me! Strawberry Eggs and Green green are very alike in some aspects, they are very different in others. Green green is one of the sickest animes ever created and will probably disturb many people,while I my me is a bit calmer (altough not so very much). They both have beutiful, funny and sad (and some very twisted) moments, and romance plays a big part in both.

FoxyTheFoxer says...

Male teacher crossdressing as a woman so he can teach his students, and an all boy's school combining with a school of girls. Honestly looking at it in that sense there is no relation with these two anime's. But these two anime's are so similar its crazy.

Both were made with only 2 years inbetween so you can expect the animation to be similar, but when you watch them both, it looks like they had the exact same artist's. The music was also extremely similar.

The most similar thing between the two anime's is the characters. The students in both anime's act and look so similar it is like they are in the same class.

Though the main storyline's are different, the feeling you get as you watch is the same. If you in anyway enjoyed one of these the next anime series you watch should be the other.

freakzilla says...

While Strawberry isn't as crazy as Azumanga, it does have similar comedy. Though I warn you that Strawberry isn't as comedic as Azumanga, so this recommendation isn't for everyone!

Arielle says...

It all revolves around high school and friendships made there. The humor is very simular in both of them.

And both have some perfert problems :P

Zadillo says...

A similar style in many ways, you should enjoy the mix of comedy and drama and character designs in this show.

XMrNiceguyX says...

This one episode OVA really reminded of one ep in I My Me! Strawberry eggs. While both series are slice of life series, the plot and the characters are a whole lot different. Still both series had a same sort of atmosphere in them and both had some fanservice.
