I My Me! Strawberry Eggs! godgundam10
Never really understood what the title meant, but it was a pretty good anime. Had the perfect combonation of comedy, drama, romance and fanservice all in one. What kind of sucks is that there aren't many good quality /e/ pics of Strawbeey Eggs out there. So I thought I'd post some and hope that maybe that some pics I haven't seen will posted. Just not of the teacher...

I wish I could find these two doujinshi on rapidshit or bittorment because I'm flat broke.

This is the last pic for now. I know this is from a doujinshi, but I don't know where to get it...

That's what I've been trying to figure out! Maybe there a new candy sold only during Easter?

I DO know there is another half to this pic, but I don't know where to look for it.

I always thought it referred to testicles.

I, my, and me are the three possible meanings of "atashi", a word which women use more often then men...and if strawberry eggs are testicles, the title is "My Balls!" said in a ironically feminine manner....I guess.
>> godgundam10
Pretty much. The idea of the show is that the main character, Hibiki Amawa tries to get a job at a private school, but because the of the principals feminist beliefs, the school only hires female teachers. So he dresses like a woman so he can teach there, and try to change the schools ways, while at the same time trying to retain his male ways. The main student character, Fuko Kuzuha(the one with the pink bow in her hair)soon falls in love with Hibiki, not knowing that she's a he. It's a really good, if underrated anime. And I was looking for /e/ of Fuko and the other girls, anyway.

Well, obviously there has to be more pics. This from an issue of Megami from 2001, when the show first aired in Japan. So if anyone can find more, post them...

This might actually be a cover for an artbook.

If you never studied the japanese language, don't try to come up with theories.

While recently, in-roads are being made into elementary schools to teach more English, essentially, middle school is where formal English education begins for every Japanese child in the public education system. Amongst the very first things they learn, after basic greetings, is the patterns "I, my, me"; "you, you, your"; "he, him, his"; "she, her, her"; "it, it, its".

It's been a while, but I do not remember Hibiki teaching any English in the school, at least, he/she was not shown to be teaching it, but the first part of the title definitely has educational implications.

The second part of the title; "Strawberry Eggs" is a little bit harder to interpret, but I have a feeling that it is refering to the female students. In Japanese, "tamago" is often used to describe a "person in training"/"a student" - a student teacher might jokingly call themselves as a "Teacher Egg (Tamago Sensei)" - the idea being that when they hatch, they will become a fully fledged teacher (I just noticed that we use similar bird analogy in English - "fully fledged" means "raised to sufficient matureity to take flight/leave the nest").

Strawberry's are a symbol of virginity and femininity here in Japan - much as the cherry does in the West (Cherries have a different symbolism here in Japan).

Thus, the "female students" interpretation.

Choice of "I, my, me" could also have not only an education connotation, but also a connotation of individuality - becoming free of opressive descriminating insitutions:

"Female students maturing into self-aware and un-restrained individuals"

Well, that's my take on the title.

Also, the whole show is obviously a microcosmic parody of real life - by turning the very patriarchal society of into a outragiously matriarchal institution set in a school, the anime helps show how absolutely absurd the sexism in Japan really is.

But it was fun.

Don't be surprised someone on the internet is full of shit. At least I let you in on why.

Really? You live in Japan? I would love to travel there someday, but it's really expensive. Yeah, Japan is extremely sexist. Which is why most Japanese women are going after American men lately. But this may only be a myth.

Second.
There is one thing I think they have over America: close community. But I still fear discrimination. Maybe not as much the Chinese or Koreans, (who, if you haven't studied world culture are Japan's Black and Spanish equivalents) but still.

Found this pic for a poster for sale on Ebay. Don't have the money, though. Otherwise I'd buy it.
