Maria-Holic: Complete Collection

Maria-Holic Complete collection
This is yet another niche anime show that sentai films is releasing with only subtitles with the original Japanese audio. In this series we have a girl by the name Kanoko who transfers to an all girls private school because of here phobia with boys to the point where she actually breaks out in hives. She is also hoping to meet her destined partner in life, just like here parents. Except she is not looking to fall in love with a male teacher, like her mother. Upon her arrival she meets the most popular freshman in the school, and after a few moments of talking with her, she feels that she is the right type of woman for her. There is only one problem, Mariya is a cross-dressing sadistic male.

This show is what I consider to be another masterpiece by Shaft, the visuals are a work of art. the character drawing are compelling, and the story, may not be that original, but it draws you in and makes you keep watching. And at some point you might even feel sorry for Kanoko, but only...

Stylishly fun, unusual and quirky! "Maria Holic - The Complete Collection" is definitely unique and creative!
