Maria†Holic Alive #01 — “Looking Over Your Shoulder”: The Show
April 7th, 2011
I’m tired of that pose now. Can we stop using it?
Impressions:
Obligatory post about how I lost interest early on the first series and this shows absolutely nothing new or different. I mostly wanted to see the OP, but in true Shaft fashion, it’s apparently not done yet. If anything, I think that Shaft is starting to get even same-ier with all their shows. You’d think they’d at least try to mix this one up since it did not exactly perform financially well, but… hey! More of the same for all! Try counting the number of shots of girls leaning back and looking backwards over their shoulder. I think they went over half a dozen in this episode alone. It seems so very very familiar. And to make matters worse, they’ve put up about 20 seconds of animation for their other show and it’s already there too. Twice. There comes a point where this stops being a style and becomes an obsessive compulsive disorder and I think Shaft passed that a few years ago.
Anyway, no OP. Just a joke one with a montage. Nothing to see here. These are not the droids you’re looking for. Move along. Maybe there’ll be some maid guitar next week and I can wash my hands of this.
Just Merry left for today! I can taste the end!

I like this but what the hell caused Kanako to turn to the yuri side? I don’t remember.
Can she even talk face to face to her father?
