I didn't realize until now how much I've missed this show.
And the OP, I lawled.
The randomness. Is as good as always. And this is like, one of the few shows that, despite being random, is enjoyable because of the randomness.
And it's good to see Kobayashii Yuu in this role that suits her oh so well, once again.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

LoL. Epic OP theme performed by Tomokazu Sugita. XD
It also does a good job of summarizing the first season of Maria Holic for the first-time viewers. :)

Anyway, while it looks like one of those SHAFT's low-budget show, it is nevertheless pretty fun to watch thanks to hilarious jokes from the manga.

I was wondering about the singer, so it was Sugita-san?? No wonder it sounded familiar.

Awesome OP, and more random Maria†Holic hilarity.

I know SHAFT does a lot of these low budget shows but damn... some of the models used were absolutely terrible(e.x. around 22:30 we get a top down view of Kanako who looks like shes been drawn by a 10 year old), hope they fix these for the BD. Otherwise i loved it and cant wait for more!

True watched it even tho I'm still learning Japanese, was GREAT but there are still a few things that I couldn't understand, but that didn't make the show any the less awesome.

Lol'ed through the whole episode TBH, funny how it didn't even take 2mins before Maria started harassing her just as in the first series :P

Hope a good fansub group picks this up so I wont miss out on anything due to not being able to understand 100% of what they say...

Only Shaft can get away with using like 90% of the animation of the OP from the first season and make it sound and look awesome.

Yes, because it's Shaft's fault that the TV channels decided to temporarily stop airing Madoka. Idiot.

ahh I'm glad my favorite lesbian and Dorm Leader are back! along with nosebleeds out the wazoo

As soon as they talked about the dorm being in good condition, I already guessed who would be in there ;]

and if you looked at the coin as it was being flipping, you could see Yonakuni-san on it :P

Ahhhhhh~ How I've missed my God.
I think it was a great episode to start things off, especially when Matsurika played a humorous role.

I'm hoping that the op is not the real op and that the ending will be awesome since the first season's were both great.

Umm...just an average first ep. Now I'm wondering why I gave the first season an 8 because I honestly think it was just ok, nothing more.

5/10 for this first episode. The only thing that I really liked is the OP.

Nice source there, buddy.
http://yarareyaku.com/archives/51768319.html

The reason is the earthquake.
The two episodes had disasters similar to the damage done by the earthquake, or something like that.

They have already finished the episodes.


Enough of Madoka.




That opening was beautiful, Sugita's singing was great.

QFT.

Ah, the infinite crazy randomness SHAFT made me used to is back~ The OP was so full of lulz. The animation has its low-budget shots here and there, but it’s awesome all the same. It amazes me that I’ve never found it excessively funny yet I enjoy it nonetheless.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

I am a pure innocent lesbian schoolgirl is certainly something i want to say but shamefully it's impossible for me.
I am really happy that this Anime is back and it was nice to watch ones again tho the nose bleeds are a bit out of control at times.

Also lets keep things friendly most of us aren't happy that Madoka got delayed because of the Earthquake and Tsunami.
But those episodes will come out ones the DVD's arrive on the market.
Shaft can't help it that Japanese TV decided to delay airing it.

The OP was by far the best thing in this eppy. Somehow my memory keeps telling me the 1st season was much better and had some kind of a plot connecting the randomness throughout the episodes. So I hope it was just for this "let's remember what Maria+Holic is" episode.
And I can't agree less with most of you - so nice to see all the characters and jokes back! Vivat SHAFT!

I think this episode would a good introductory episode, and to be honest, nothing much really happened in the first season except some nose-bleeding and Kanako's creative imaginations... So the answer is you could probably enjoy it without watching the first season.

If they got him to sing the OP, then maybe we will see his chara again...I really liked him!

I was expecting that it would continue from last episode of first season (you know, Mariya's sister asking Kanako about her pendant and it ended that way).


I was also expecting that. I hope it will show up later in the anime

...Not enough Maria. Seriously.

Maria actually is the main reason I watch this series, but I must admit, the opening was pretty awesome and there was a fair amount of pretty funny stuff. Overall, a decent start to the new season, I look forward to more.

Wasn't exactly the greatest way to start it off, though it wasn't really smart of shaft to end the the first anime with a cliffhanger (With season two not starting off where it left off, but if it did then it wouldn't be very accessible to new viewers), I like the series but I suspect this season may be a bit ruff down the road, a 3 out of 5 for the first episode.
