This is a list of episodes for the anime Strawberry Marshmallow. The anime episodes are based on a Japanese manga series by manga creator Barasui about the cute adventures and the lives of Nobue Itoh, her younger sister Chika, and Chika's three friends. The list of episodes spans 12 TV episodes, 3 episodes from the Ichigo Mashimaro Original Video Animation series, followed by 2 episodes from the Ichigo Mashimaro encore OVA series. The episodes were all directed by Takuya Sato, who was also responsible for the series composition.

The ending for the anime television series is "Classmate", sung by Miu's voice actress Fumiko Orikasa. The opening for the OVA series is "Akkan berry berry", also sung by Chiba, Orikasa, Kawasumi, Noto, and Nabatame. The ending for the OVA series is {{nihongo|"Yūmachi no Kaze"|夕待ちの風}} sung by Orikasa.

The ending for the Encore OVA is also sung by Orikasa and is titled {{nihongo|"Zutto, Zutto"|ずっと, ずっと}}.

Episodes

The animated series was first televised in Japan, then sold as DVDs in Japan and overseas.

A brief (4-minute) episode was also produced to introduce the series and main characters. In this special, Nobue, her sister Chika, and her three friends are in a spaceship (which looks exactly like Chika's room at home) traveling toward Earth when the ship's oxygen supply begins to leak. Nobue, sensing there is enough oxygen for four people but not five, sends Miu out to float in space, left to find her own way home. In retaliation for this act, Miu takes all the food, candy, and cigarettes with her when she's unceremoniously "booted out".
