Some minor details;
-Rindou, awesome as hell.
-Maria and Shizu both help Kanako up, and Kanako did not get an allergic reaction.
-Don't Mind, Don't Mind as the ED is win.

All in all, damn, I almost feel like giving this a 10/10 because it was so full of win.
I'll have to do with a 9 though.
Even Kanako was full of win at times. And Maria's like, one of the two best traps in world history. And it goes without saying that Matsurika needs a full season of Matsurika†Holic.

Haha, that was awesome, even the monster handbag got the 'surprise'-factor up!


"-Maria and Shizu both help Kanako up, and Kanako did not get an allergic reaction."

Though she did get an allergic reaction after Mariya 'kissed' her... How strange!

Subs are out, watched it on animeseason. Silly, but great ep. Gotta love Mariya. ED was epic by the way, and a lot of 'desu ne's in the omake. No references I got, sadly, this time.

How can someone care so much about there birthday i mean it's just another day in the year.
Of course this might be just my own point of view.

FUCK, they used the rosary on me and nothing came out of it!

I kept smiling throughout the episode though, especially loved the part when Ryuken got the blood message. I will definitely miss the series.

Nice ending, was just as good as season 1, maybe one day if i have enough money I will pick up this series. It would be nice if there was a 3rd season Zan Maria Holic but i don't see it happening.

I rated season 1 a 8/10 and this season will retain its same rating. :D

Well, that episode was all right as well. I guess that solves the mystery of the cross? Er. In a very half-assed, doesn't-make-much-sense way.

Overall the show was pretty average. It had good art and animation, but failed in terms of plot (what plot?), character development (i.e. there was none) and generally catching my attention. The pacing was bad and although there were occasionally funny parts, most of it wasn't. I'm giving it the same as the last season because although I felt that was slightly better, this season gets props for no "I will rape you if you don't stfu" scenes and a general lack of S&M Mariya/Kanako. 5/10.

First season was better. The first 4-or-so episodes of Season 2 were boring. So, if Mariya kissed Kanako in public and she break in hives, wouldn't that reveal his real to the others?




Oh wait, Maria Holic has virtually no plot.

If people read the manga they would know the explanation of rosary isn't real. That's never happened in the manga. It's anime-only. -_-

This is what needs to happen with Maria Holic. Maria Holic needs to have a second anime and w/ twenty-four episodes similar to how Fullmetal Alchemist got one. FMA was the first anime but it didn't focus on the manga and veered into a different story. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was made and stayed close to the manga. A major impovement. Sort of like start over I mean, but with a different studio and better director/writers (keep the same voice actors of course!) and rather than animate filler chapters of the manga in which Kanako's pointless antics are the spotlight of, animate the manga's main story points (i.e., the death anniversary of Mariya's grandmother, Kanako seeing their family album w/ her mother photo and Miki's reason behind disliking their mother and not visiting her grave.)

Sadly, that won't ever happen. :( *sigh* All SHAFT does is focus on comedy and no plot. That's why season two sort of sucked and not to mention it wasn't even chronological order. Miki should've appeared earlier and in a different way, Rindou should have been first introduced on the day of Mariya's grandmother's death anniversary, etc. Glad I read six volumes, but sucks that tokyopop dropped the manga.

Maria Holic Alive ends so soon? :'(
But it was a great season! It makes wish there was a 3rd season, but that probaly won't happen.
I think Maria does care deeply for Kanako, whether it's love, im not sure.

Yay! For Maria and Maria Holic! XD

a rather nice ending
2/5
still bit disappointing but still better than yuruyuri (i very hate that anime).
that pisses me off of this anime is
-that arrogant brat (tota)
-and disappointing imouto (i forgot her name). I think she will be a little protective of kanako, but instead she most upset me in this anime.

It's to bad, like mentioned above, that they never continued with the main story and focused on comedy. Seems I have to go back to the manga to learn the meaning of the rosary and the implied connection between Kanako ('s family) and the Shidou family etc.

You got that right. I was dissapointed the entire season went by and no rape jokes, not even 1. But it wasn't all that bad better than average still.

Episode that ends happily series showing the birthday of Kanako, but giving too much space she has a bit spoiled the TV series.
There was like a step back in the evolution of history, but also in quality levels in general, what a pity.
Who knows if there will be a third season, however, the first is the best.
Final rating of 6/10!

Oh, so that thing in Kanako's bag is Clifford the Big Red Dog. Now it makes sense.

Anyway, this season didn't turn out better than season 1.

2/5 for the episode, 2/10 for the season.

What a fitting ending, having a surprise party for Kanako ^_^
Love how the dog was singing along aswell.

I'd say this season definitely had it's improvements over the first season, despite that though, I enjoyed as much as the first season.

8/10 just like the first season.

The birthday surprise ended up being really a surprise. That kiss on the cheek by Maria to Kanako was awesome, too bad they both freaks they would've made a great couple. Is it me, or did it say There was movie? Where is it though?

I would've liked some follow through, especially between Maria and Kanako's sister.

7/10.

Okay and I think this was the most brilliant episode of this whole series, yet Kanako when she thought everyone forgot about her birthday was put to the test. But even seriously, I didn't put the cross there to see what was happening, 😂😂 However, this Rindou is so strange that he comes there directly with a weapon, or with his birthday idea. 😂😂 However, when will this film Maria † Holic appear? 🤔
