Maria-sama ga Miteru OVA (a.k.a. the third season) is a sequel that doesn't disappoint. The quality of the animation is indisputably superior to its two predecessors, while the flavour of these five (fifty-minute) episodes is largely similar. This time, however, we get to see the characters in casual wear a lot more and in various settings outside of school, which is quite refreshing.
The seiyuu offer a good, consistent performance, so no complaints on that front. The ending theme songs, however, are rather at odds with the general tone of the series. The first ED passably complemented the series, but the second one was too upbeat. Don't skip out when the credits roll in the later episodes like I did at first, though, as it comprises absolutely gorgeous artwork.
Maria-sama ga Miteru OVA also explores different relationships that weren't previously addressed, in addition to delving into existing ones at greater length. A few characters that we haven't seen in a while are brought back (some only momentarily) and there's at least one character introduced that we haven't met properly yet.
For some reason, in the OVAs they've stopped the tradition of using tongue-in-cheek humour for the episode previews, and it's vaguely disappointing in that regard. (The DVD specials are as funny as ever though, but that's another kettle of fish.)
There were some cheesy-- but heartwarming-- moments, and it's getting increasingly to the point where the f/f subtext can't be called subtext anymore. To be sure, little is of the "in your face" sort. Some appreciate such things expressed forthright, but it is not in line with Maria-sama ga Miteru OVA's style.
So in that sense this series might not be such a good choice for these people, but I think after watching the first and second seasons, we should all know what to expect. If you haven't started liking Maria-sama ga Miteru as a whole after two seasons, it's unlikely to change in the third. With that in mind, I can only say that Maria-sama ga Miteru OVA was above and beyond what I expected. read more

i have watched this anime for 9 times now and still watching it : )
i liked the relationship between yumi and sachiko became deeper and deeper, at first two series they cant say what they really think with each other but with this anime, everything yumi wants to do with sachiko is taking place in reality, and she became free to express her feelings to sachiko even in letter. whats was good in this world is to express to the one you love that you love them.
this is not a typical lesbian story, because there is no lesbian thing in it. the fact that you became close to someone and learned to love them doesnt mean that you have sexual feeling towards that person. this anime expresses deep love between friends and even experience hardships, triumph and fulfillment to get through the day being happy with the person that matches the feelings you have for them as they have for you. read more
