The thing about Ichigo Mashimaro is, yeah, it's a pedo anime, but it's actually funny. Not the kind of humour that'll appeal to everybody, but it's also not the kind of humour you find in most anime/manga. I think some people get suprised by it, because they expect generic loli show x, with girls running around being moe and coming across exactly the same as every other pedo anime, and then they get this sloooow moving, strangely deadpan, slice-of-life show.
I think it's more like Azumanga or Cromartie than a standard loli series, in the sense that it's one of those weird offbeat comedys that Japan seems to throw out from time to time.
