Unfortunately, Maria†Holic Alive didn't quite bring back the same thing for the table, they traded out most of the originality of the first season for nothing but nose-bleed's- Complex jokes and that is more or less why I had to give a giant sigh, to what could of been my favorite Anime of the year.
I can only cross my fingers in hopes that will change over time.
Story: Gone, there is no story you could probably watch any episode of this new season and believe it was the first. it left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Art: The art was plain but had the occasional,."Ooo, ahhh." moments.
Sound.: The opening theme was really quite funny for this season but knowing that was all too come after the OP. I was really quite sad. ;[
Character: It brought nothing new to the table the character's never really changed except for the 2 new characters they had brought in for an episode or two.
Overall: Sadly. with all that sad and done. Mara†Holic Alive, you have dashed my high-hopes for you. I can still recommend this even if you haven't seen the first season because you don't really need to know to much about the characters to watch this it will practically remind,re-tell why these chracter's have this issue, or this problem, why this happened. ect. ect. I give it a 6.
