similar style and humor. and both main characters are in "despair".
report Recommended by yarvenclog
Both series are comedies done by SHAFT in similar styles. While Maria Holic has a more structured plot, it can be just as wacky as SZS. Maria Holic also parodies Nozomu's despair sequence from time to time, which SZS fans will love. I suspect that Dorm Mistress and Kafuka are related. They are eerily similar.

- Made by SHAFT, and also share some voice actors; - Comedies with parody elements and a dark sense of humour; - School setting with a quite interesting and unique cast of characters; - Main characters are in despair; - Shoujo-ai hints/fanservice. SZS is funnier, longer and wackier.

Both are Studio SHAFT productions under the helm of Akiyuki Shinbo, which rely on fast paced gags, puns, and innuendos. The style of comedy is similar, and some of the jokes cross over from Zetsubou-Sensei

Both series have the same producers so there are elements which are similar between the two. The comedy and the art style are basically similar.

It's been said and exhausted before, but both are fun, crack, series to watch when you're in the mood for a great comedy. Both Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Maria Holic do not have much continuity (Maria Holic has a slight bit more, but that's not saying much), great opening themes, and a great sense of humour.

Beyond the obviousness of their both being Shaft productions, each has a single theme that gets beaten senseless. These one-trick ponies get lost in the wilderness and well before they actually finish, each runs out of things to say. Many episodes would have benefitted from losing 5-10 minutes since much of the repetition would have been cut. Losing a few episodes would have helped the series as there were a few too many in which nothing happened -- the season finales offending most egregiously. Typical for Shaft shows, the music is mostly interesting. The artwork is good and the characters are visually attractive. To sum the experience   read more

The artwork and the animation is pretty much the same. Maria Holic might be a little lighter than Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, but there's numerous characters and lots of high school girls absurdities in both of them.

Exact same director. Exact same visual style and jokes.

Both are animated by shaft. Both are made with Akiyuki Shinbo's uniuqe directorical aproach. The humor in both anime is similar. Both MCs are despairing over something. Both premises are uniuqe and refreshing.
