This is a series of posts on winter 2009 shows I finished. Hit up the previous one about Clannad ~After Story~ and Maria-sama ga Miteru 4th. This post will cover three more.

Maria+Holic

What a disappointment. The show went nowhere after seeming so promising. The two best characters of the show, Mariya and Matsurika, were shafted as side characters as we watched this dumbass girl named Kanako run around the school being a total moron as she is worse at controlling her sexual urges than Brock of Pokemon or Makoto of School Days. Jokes were constantly recycled, and the endless onslaught of references was not very funny. Still, I laughed many times in every episode, often at those recycled jokes >_>

Come on, we needed more Mariya, Matsurika, and Shizu. None of this stupid priest giving Kanako hives crap.

Minami-ke Okaeri

Huge step up from the disasterous (yet enjoyable) Okaeri in terms of writing and humor. On the downside, the art and animation suffered tremendously. Oh, and two more things: needs moar Hosaka and needs moar Mako-chan. Totali can go die.

The writers also needed to balance the minor characters better. Many of the characters introduced were used in only one episode and never seen again, leading me to wonder if they were even necessary at all.

Overall, it was still a fun ride. But no more unless the original staff takes on a fourth season. Please. I don’t want to see more art fail.

Skip Beat!

Absolute love love love UNTIL THE ENDING RUINED EVERYTHING BECAUSE IT’S A DAMN CLIFFHANGER SO UNTIL A SECOND SEASON GETS GREEN LIT I’M GOING TO RAGE RAGE RAGE RAGE.

But Kyoko pretty much is my favorite anime heroine <3

On that note, I hate what my posts turn out to be when I get sick of writing. I could come back to this and write about it later… but I’m lazy. Maybe I’ll rewrite this post later… just for ghostlightning.
