Summary: The end of a great series.
Review: The DVD starts off with every lover's dream. In the first episode Fuko saves the woman she loves, Hibiki, from a burning building. In doing so she does give away the fact that she loves Hibiki, right in front of Akira, who loves her, and Fujio, who loves Akira.
In the hospital, Hibiki realizes, that yes, he loves Fuko, but that Fuko loves the FEMALE Hibiki. He just can't keep living a lie, being a fake teacher. As he changes himself back to a man, little does he know that the Vice is in another wing of the hospital, acting like a peeking tom (which is usually played by male characters) with a camera. In the end he is exposed by the Vice-Principal as the male he is.
Now, he could of tricked them one last time but he DECIDED it was time to be honest with his students and leave. Being the character Hibiki is, there was really no other choice.
Ba-chan brings up an interesting point which he ignores: Does being a fake teacher mean that the lessons about life he passed on to the students was also fake?
The whole last episode deals with the events after he is exposed. A WHOLE episode dealing with the end of a series which had only 12 episodes. By the 13th most series are just starting to warm up, but Strawberry Eggs is ending on a high note. A powerful little series.
That is the best part about the ending, is that it feels so powerful and so perfect for the characters. Hibiki has to leave, but promises to return. Fuko still loves him and you get the impression she will wait for him. The other students have developed bonds of trust, friendship and, yes, even love. The school's students, and their parents, have decided to keep the school co-ed, against the wishes of the Principal and Vice-Principal. And we learn something about Ba-chan.
Many people may wish for a stronger ending, some kind of closure, but this is the best they will get. Maybe not a happy, happy, joy, joy ending, but it is a good ending. A solid ending. An ending that suggests the characters will live on, grow, change and find happiness. It even suggests hope (with a little help from Ba-chan) for the Principal!

Summary: Is this REALLY worth your money and time?maybe...maybe not
Review: This is the last volume of Strawberry Eggs!Yes,some may think 'Aw man,its short!' well,thats what you get with a rushed series as Strawberry Eggs....a lot of people are unhappy with the ending and this story is bashed with horrible reviews(with more reasons than that)...which is making me sort of worried on getting this one.But the excitement of wondering what happens might be your doom or your relief!Maybe you will be happy with the ending.Dont blame me when you read this review and say it was good,it matters who you were rooting for to get matched up with that decides if you liked it or not.Me,I've liked Hibiki/Fuko and Fukae/Akira.The last volume(Volume 3) made me so sad....~_~ Anyway I've been hearing '....the cool guy does not get the girl. The main character does not end up with the man of her dreams',urm.I cant say if it will be good.BUT GO OUT AND BUY IT!!!!I know I will ^_~So all and all,Strawberry Eggs' ending is something I want to see,so dont be scared to pick up the next volume!I hope you enjoy the ending as much as I hope I will ^_^

Summary: A Great Ending to a Great Series
Review: Yes, sadly, this is the last DVD of the series. Although it is a very short series (13 Episodes, 4 DVDs), it is an extremely well produced one. Some people have said that the ending is not very good; however, I think the ending is remarkable! Just because it's not a happy, everybody wins and flowers sprout up everywhere type ending, does not make it bad. The last episode is VERY powerful and moving. The entire espisode is wrought with compelling emotion that sucks you into the story dramatically. And, to tell the truth, I think the ending of the series is perfect! A great way to convey loss, sadness, happiness, and hope all in one end. Also, there is a jaw-dropping suprise hinted at in the ending that I don't want to spoil ;)
So if you're a fan of Strawberry Eggs, then grab this session as fast as you can. If you're wondering about the series, I highly recommend it as a wonderful look into the world of anime.
