So what’s the best way to end a show starring a nosebleeding, perverted yuri who enters an all-girl school to find the yuri love of her life (and ogle a school full of delicious Betties while you’re at it), and ends up rooming with the most beautiful girl on campus - except that she’s actually a he - and her equally beautiful and irresistible maid, with masochistic tendencies? With a swim meet full of bathing suit fan service and a wardrobe malfunction to boot? Brilliant!
Oh, how convenient!
Maria+Holic – Final Impressions
Maria+Holic had a lot going for it. A zany premise, excellent character designs, a maid to kill for, a ridiculously attractive trap, an ecchi yuri lead to tie it together, and SHAFT/Shinbo to give it that touch of zaniness that only they can do. All the pieces were in place for an all-time epic comedy.
Did they deliver?
Sort of. I definitely enjoyed the show through and through, but I thought they missed some opportunities by making this more Kanako’s show versus Mariya’s show.
Like too many other Matsurika/Mariya moments, this flashed by all too quickly
