Remember in my previous post where I speculated on how Maria+Holic will turn me gay?
Well, like with all irresistable traps, I’m gay for Maria. Oh, there’s also a lesbian, neko loli “dorm mistress”, big dawg, and an absolutely obedient maid. I have yet to stumble upon a series that combines such a varied array of my desires in such a light-hearted way. (Even I don’t know how big dawg fits into the equation.) This is why I’m tentatively naming Maria+Holic the winner of my Winter 08-09 First Impression Pick of the Litter award. (I’d shoop up some lame ass trophy but I can’t be arsed.)
Now, it might just be the RAW, but the animation left a weird taste in my mouth. inb4 Maria “miruku” For some reason, it’s got that Junjou Romantica style to it, but I might just be creating my own stereotype for series dealing with homolust. This all contrasts with some of the spiritually-inspired stills, which does stop my eyes from bleeding after every few minutes. One thing I would like to criticize lightly on is how the lesbian (yeah, I’ll just call her that from now on until I remember her name for whatever reason) always goes off on her own inner monologue tangents. It’s like some bastard child of Family Guy and the pink-haired girl from Naruto. (Yeah, I’ve been exposed to fragments of that series by certain people.) Well, live and let live.
Moving on, we’ve got introductions to who I hope are going to be a few key (side) characters that will provide the meat of the plot as our leading lesbian struggles to not be Maria’s bitch and find true love. But the series is called Maria+Holic for a reason. (Other than the fact everyone is gay for Maria.) I expect a lot more interaction between the two as well as some more maid brassiere action and “dorm mistress” thrown into the mix. I would be devasted if this series were somehow to disappoint.
P.S. – As I was a virgin to the series with no more information other than “this show’s gonna make you gay” and “the trap is one sadistic motherfucker”, I looked forwarding to finding the trap before it was revealed to me. Too bad the series killed that game by making it blatantly obvious before the other girls were introduced.
