The ending we should have gotten. Damn it all, they never released an English version, or patch, for the game!

Normally I'm all in favor of canon relationships, but "Strawberry Panic" is an exception. This is the girl that Nagisa should've ended up with.

I was just thinking abput rewatching Strawberry Panic, too. Maybe this is a sign to give in to the urge.

^Sounds like numerous commenters here want it. Personally I don't have much of an opinion, I remember not really liking the series and some of the romance dynamics, but my memory is mostly hazy as it's been 15 or so years since I've seen it lol

^ The anime was bogged down with too much atmosphere and with muted personalities and color. The show was entry level yuri content for people who didn't know about the manga. Or whe ppl couldn't follow along after the fan translations stopped when the series got licensed. At the time another yuri was out, My Maria(?), and it was a little more well known. Years later, Sono Hanabira came out and just blasted most yuri content out of the water.
So ya, the anime fell flat and pretty hard. With the exception of the VN and the last scene in the anime, the creator of Strawberry Panic also perfed Nagisa x Tomao. Hell, the voice actors for those same characters sang both the ending theme songs as a duet. Wow, I just geeked out out with that rant!

^^ Never have I disagreed with someone on this forum more. The anime is the best version of the series and is still one of my favourite yuri anime
And personally I can't get into this ship. It feels so Class S-y to me whilst Shizuma x Nagisa feels like they actually accept being lesbians even after graduation

I barely remember the anime since it's been so long, but when Strawberry Panic comes up it feels like I always see "skip the anime and read the source material". I'd internalized that as the consensus viewpoint from those familiar with the series, so it's refreshing to see the opposing view.

According to Wikipedia, the couples in Strawberry Panic were voted in by readers of Dengeki G's.

Well then, the readers were wrong :V
But seriously, I vastly preferred this pairing to the official one (which to ME reads as the archetypical Class S relationship, but hey, what do I know!). Oh well. It is what it is, I guess.
Oh, and the novels are the best version. V:

You're better off watching it and forming your own opinion. I'm firmly in the ShizuNagi camp, but I can see where people are coming from with NagiTamao.

I was thinking of rewatching it recently because the only thing I remember about it is feeling bad for Tamao. She dedicated so much for Nagisa just to lose to someone who basically simply existed. Yet I was more of a ShizuNagi for whatever reason.

I am going to be the weirdo for this, but I personally started shipping Amane x Nagisa simply because of that one scene the horse and Shizuma interrupted lol. I also felt real bad for Hikari, girl could not catch a break, people just couldn't leave her alone.
