SynopsisThe spring term is beginning for the students at Lillian Girls' Academy. Friends are reunited, but for the Yamayuri Council, it's a bittersweet time. Yoko, Eriko, and Sei are busy preparing to depart Lillian while Sachiko, Rei, and Shimako are doing their best to ensure that their dear sisters receive a memorable commencement.
Sei's departure will leave a sizable hole in the White Roses, and filling it won't be easy. But is there anyone who could appeal to Shimako enough to become the next Rosa Gigantea en bouton?

All in all, I think this one exceeded my expectations. I was hoping that this season would be just as good as the first one, but it ended up to be much better.
The storylines are much more interesting - for the first season I thought that the topics still had room for improvement, although I was already impressed. I liked the fact that more screen time was devoted to the third years. Back in the first season, they weren't given their share of the lime light, except maybe for Sei. Eriko even got an episode that was devoted to her life. Sadly though, we have to say goodbye to the grande soeurs. There were new characters that were added, like Noriko and Touko. I'm not so sure if I'm happy with Touko being there.
Shimako was also given a lot of chances to grace the scenes. There were many episodes about her. Thank goodness for that as well - I think she deserved a lot of screen time.I was also glad to see Sachiko in a different light. We see her family and how she is at home, we get to see her laugh for the first time (I think) and she is also able to reaffirm the relationship she has with Yumi. I was also able to get more laughs from this one compared to the first season. This was all due to Yoshino, who is both adorable and funny.
The music was better this time around too. They finally added words to the opening theme, which made it more worthwhile, but I still find myself skipping it even with the words. It was still a bit boring. Same goes for the ending theme.
I hadn't mentioned this in my review of the first season, but although the anime is considerably well drawn, the characters illustrations did have some problems sometimes. The characters, specially the really tall Rei, tend to look really long and stringy, almost like a stick drawing. There are also occassions when their faces change.
Other than those, this anime is still very good. I was almost sad that I finished it too soon. I really didn't want it to end, and I hope there will be a third season. read more

After watching the first season of Maria-sama ga miteru I wanted to know more about the characters of the series. Thus I was relieved after having finished the second series and found that it met my expectations. The series continued at the same time to have the same easy-going pace and subtle feeling to it which I enjoyed from the first season, thou in one way it went a little more on the serious side storywise. This might not be enjoyed by all viewers who has seen the first season but I don't think it ruined the experience for me. Great continuation and great viewing value! read more

First: They're both under the genre shoujo-ai/yuri though the main in Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru is a male.
Second: Both anime has the soeur-system, or the sister-system.
Third: Both series is catholic, though you'll see some buddhism in Marimite.
So if you liked the Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru-serie, you will propably like Marimite.
