But lol you have zero no tsukaima as a favorite and you dare to say that?


Well the episode was really funny, the face when she got stomp over, ''it's for fanservice'' and the neko slapping the dog face was win.
God Maria is too funny. Between is Maria his real name? It's a girl name...

This was my least favourite episode yet. It didn't deliver like the other ones. Though, I have hope for the next one! We need more Maria!

This show is boring without him ! Not funny, no nosebleeding (much...) and now hives. And no awesome voice !
The end of this episode was nice (after ending). Maid costume *_______*

btw, it's MARIYA, not MARIA.

Zero no Tsukaima doesn't only consist of the (bad) 3rd season. The first two were really good and much smarter than Maria Holic is to this point.

It doesn't matter too much if you have this "y" in there or not, does it?
I prefer to say Maria because 1. the spelling looks more natural to me and 2. it's backed up by the hiragana of the title and even the western transcription in the anime opening!
And yet, I still don't yell at anyone spelling it "Mariya"... ^^

This series is funny, but I hate the way they present it, where basically nothing happens in real time. It's like 80% either in her head or with chibi characters (or both). Gets old, other than that it's great.

@ Enchant - I think she called her a slut? Not entirely sure as I only watched once.

I'm enjoying this much more than I thought I would, actually. I picked it up because I had nothing else so do, not expecting to be in it for the long haul. To be honest I think it's the Shinbou/SHAFT influence that makes it what it is - the animation is great, and as people have said previously, the facial expressions are priceless.

As for the story, if you ignore the constant threat of rape, it's quite sweet. I think we've all had some kind of unrequited love in our past, and this hits close to home in parts.

Mariya is the only thing preventing this show from totally sucking. I want fan service of Matsurika and Dorm Leader's threats are full of awesome. Ok episode but again needs more Mariya, enough with the crappy friends nobody cares about.

lol All three seasons of Zero no Tsukaima were levels above this anime in entertainment. I didn't even give ZNT a 10, I know it has it's down falls... but it is one of my favorite anime because I enjoyed watching it and the romance was far deeper and the comedy far better than what I have witnessed thus far with Maria-Holic. Hell, even the characters were better developed, and whilst the story lacked progress at times, at least there was one...

The marine products joke is not funny, period. I hate seeing it mentioned and it makes me want to neck myself. Too much unfunny slapstick.

Whilst I think this series has potential, I also think that it has yet to show it other than brief glimmers of hope shown in the first episodes. I may change my tone further down the track , but honestly I was compelled to switch this episode off halfway through..

Eh I really wish they would develop Kanako and Mariya's relationship more. I figured this show would mostly revolve around them and them eventually falling in love. With this only being a 12 or 13 episode series I just wish it would move on a little faster; at least give them more screen time together.

Is it possible that the authors are going to make "Maria Holic - 2" series after this?

I have to agree with those that said this episode was really dissapointing. I'm not ready to give up on it quite yet, or to score it low, but usually by the 4th episode I'm hooked. I liked this anime up till the 2nd epidsode, but so far the 3rd and 4th have turned me off. And I'm also going to defend Zero no Tsukaima. While not the worlds greatest anime, it was funny, enjoyable and cute. It was never meant to be the worlds greatest anime, it was just entertaining. And honestly, you shouldnt make fun of peoples choice of favorites, everyone likes a different sort of anime.

QFT x 1000. This is the main irritating factor of this anime.

Also QFT, I'm very similar to everything you have just said there lol. Though I didn't get upset about her not liking ZNT, I was actually probably even flattered that they took the time to look at my profile lawls. I was not particularly fond of the last OVA from ZNT though... it was just fan servicey and had no redeeming storyline. The seasons have all been enjoyable but and I love the series :P

5/5

Although politically incorrect, disillusioned and realistic plot, is ironic in his treatment and enjoyable. Kanako is abused in the most abject, verbally and physically, but I can not deny it ultimately fails to make me smile the narrative. Designed well enough, it is also well animated. Choosing colors apt even now.
Unique characters, complete the picture.
I hope you manage to give space to the rest of the cast.
This time 5/5 is more than deserved

This anime brother has a really bad problem. 😂😂 This Kanako is trampled by Ryuuken's fans and still only gets to the office, and then heals like that. 😂😂 Okay, it's not like I'm surprised by this thing, but you don't understand either XDD. And why does his nose always bleed when he sees Mariya knowing he is a boy?

Another banger, as always. The comedy here is somehow 100% my flavor of comedy, and I really wish I had seen this anime sooner.
