Maria Holic (2009–2011)
6/10
I'm a dung beetle and this was the ball I obsessed over

Warning: Spoilers
I made an IMDB account just to rant into the void.

I think the first season was better than the second, it actually had me laughing out loud at points. That's all I really have to say about the first season itself, aside from pacing and mean-spirited jokes that made me sad.

BUT ALIVE IS THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE.

The thing about Alive was that its pacing was WORSE than the original, HOW did it fumble so bad. It started introducing new characters during the 7th episode?? There's only 12 episodes in Alive and we meet Kanoko's younger sister, ON EPISODE 11???? WHAT. They're cramming this story in like a test they forgot to study for.

OVERALL, a good majority of the characters are just the worst people ever. They took the ID Channel and molded the main cast of the Maria Holic anime into their favorite Dateline criminals.

Maybe that's a little dramatic but that's how the anime version of the characters feels.

(Not that the manga is much better but at least they have depth there.)

anyways, nice series ;b.
