Maria+Holic, Episode 8- Drill Baby Drill


Ahhh, she sparkles

Back this week with less angsty slice-of-life and more perverted Kanako antics. Plus, a healthy dose of Ayari, and she’s quite sparkly~ Just kind of gloss over the lessons on Christianity.

Ah yes, well Kanako didn’t go to the school for the Catholicism, she went for the squadrons of lesbians that tend to occupy such places in fiction. And we at THAT approve of her choice.

I always found the episodes of school shows with ghost stories or the “7 Mysteries” to be unbelievably stupid. I’m glad that it was just some minor side material so far. It’s just a very cliche plot device and creates such predictable situations that I find it a waste of time in most shows.


I see he had trap tendencies at an early age.

Do they have the uptick rule in Japan? Oh man is this some financial crisis humor going on here? Rather than borrowing some shares of Mariya to short, I’d personally recommend investing in long positions of Mariya at all times. Then again, I could go for some naked short-selling, rawr.


Cat fight over the airhead! Get away from my woman, she says!


She even has her name on balls. And she’s got quite the throw I might add.


CURIOUS MINDS WISH TO KNOW

Mariya, ready to call himself Jesus fucking Christ while utilizing the tax exempt status of religious organization to avoid taxes and build an empire. All accomplished whilst cross dressing. Ambition is a beautiful thing, especially when it’s a delicious blonde.

Crusader’s Adoration of Kanako

quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur, remember that Kanako.

The Yuri has foreseen it.

I approve of this angel cosplay party.

While there are those who doubt that the Yuri is with Kanako such reptiles ignore how that in a mere two months President Kanako has become the Class President of 2-A and is now leader of the second year students those who doubt that the tall, busty, raging lesbian that is Kanako is incapable winning hearts and minds are clearly wrong perhaps this is why Raptors are all but extinct. Kanako was swept into office not because her platform was sound but that there they all elected an onee-sama and Kanako fit the bill perfectly as she seems to dwarf all the others with her Numenorean stature. Along with Prime Minister Ryuuken-sama, leader of the third years the Angel cosplay party is sure to succeed, though sadly there is yet one that might sabotage it all. Nevertheless accusations of Kanako possessing the spirit of some loser harem animu male are baseless and heretical, Kanako is blessed with the spirit of Hosaka and as such is vastly superior to any loser harem animu male, though because of the Mariya dictatorship random stripping is not allowed as much as Kanako wishes that it were otherwise.

Can I get a BRO FIST?

Kanako is ambitious…

Yes indeed Vice President Krir-san and HOW!

I am most pleased that Kanako is a fan of TWIN DRILLS too, turns out Ayarin is not that bad of a person afterall just another one of Mariya’s hurt victims of his early reign of terror. Kanako is very observant though our young Jedi is still easily misled.  Peek at Ayarin’s past clearly reveals that this Mariya has always been and enemy of women, in this regard as one of the many oppressed by Mariyan hegemony Ayarin and Kanako can get along famously… Kanako even gets Natsuru in the alliance. Momoi-chi thinks that Kanako is a philosophical onee-san and swears loyalty to Kanako going as far as confessing sadly though to avoid a very public display of affection Yuzuru was forced ot intervene as Kanako had an appointment with Ayarin. Good to see that Hosaka’s cousin, Kanako is very capable of concocting Kanako Fantasies. I approve of the fixation on angel cosplay, she even got the classifications right. With any luck this will be the FRIENDLIEST angel cosplay party to date. Her attempt at song was great and glorious making Kanako the Cosplay no Yousei.

Kanako has so far seduced…1…2…

3…4…

…5

Matsurika got tired of Kanako frolicking and is plainly jealous that Kanako is going for every girl but her, as such her basket ball ended the Kanako Fantasy. At least we know that there is a bit of Krauser II in Kanako and she does show some self restraint. Since Jesus loves Kanako (this I know, cuz the Bible tells me so) Ayarin came to her rescue and gave Kanako a NICE ANGLE. At the field hospital Kanako questions get a bit rebellious, but Ayarin being Kanako’s comrade takes no offence and seems to like Rebellious Kanako as much as I do. Kanako is actually agnostic which does not preclude the acceptance of God, I approve as I stopped attending Catholic services many moons ago. It turns out that most of this school is not Christain though they pray for all the things that God happily gives, like a grateful fatherland and a glorious struggle. I myself am surprised that Natsuru knows that Christmas is not really Jesus’ birthday, but a tad disappointed that she did not acknowledge that it was a way to compete with pagan holidays on the winter solstice. Mariya on the other hand thinks like a Scientologist…and wants to be Tom Cruise. Truly this Mariya is as vile as she is abhorrent for being an enemy of the Yuri.

Jealous Matsurika is Jealous.

Down…

But not out…

Definitely not out.

Cosplay, Cosplay, Cosplay Angel!

The Virgin Mary Festival is a Cosplay party!

A loli angel

A tsundere angel.

Yeah!

You got the Touch!

Loli flag GET!

Just lean into it Kanako.

Are you a Terrorist out of Hell?

:3

Aim high Kanako.

Wow she looks even more gorgeous when dreaming.

Kanako is dreaming you you tonight…

God is Great!

    Kanako’s Tenshi was the highlight of my day. I coul go for a Japanese style Angel anytime, anywhere, anyday! =^^=

    Aren’t you lucky that Kobayashi Yu had Mariya’s role instead of Hirano Aya? Because if it was the opposite, Aya-san would be singing those hymns. I love Hirano Aya, but she should stick with White Album since in real life, Aya-san is orking hard to be an Idol after all.

    Matsurika should have written Yuri Buta on those balls. XD I’m so proud of Kanako not denying her pervertedness! ^^

    Didn’t Mariya look tsuntsun when he said he doesn’t really care about his relatives? Anyways, I enjoyed it and Drills-Megami-san too!

    Just when you think this show can’t top itself, it does with a resounding basketball to the head!

    I had no idea what was going on with the rampant discussions on Christianity, overload of Kanako yuri power and creepy GOD but it sure was awesome!

    p.s. I just noticed that the silver haired angel is Matsurika.. go, slow me….

    That song was hilarious!

    And ” Nice angle” accompanied by a thumbs up, being the first thing she thought when she was approached after being knocked down was classic.

    And wtf? about 15:50 mins into it, when kanako is in the sick bay, why the hell are there 2 bullets behind the student council vice president.

    Random.

    lol @ the finacial crisis tsundere humor. and loli mariya is so… wrong.

    why hasn’t kanako gone for matsurika? yuri kanako should be ALL OVER mats. i think they’re holding her out for the twist ending.

    @soyahoney
    All hail the Cosplay no Yousei!

    @lishan
    The hair and eyes, doth match, Kanako is just biding her time until she can successfully assault Matsurika…

    @Loz
    Clearly Kanako is such a master of the yuri way that she is impervious to bullets, unlike that loser Jihad-kun.

    @RP
    Kanako is not ready to launch ant all out assault to breech the Mariya defense line for the liberation of Matsurika. In good time, in good time.

    I take this post as a declaration of war. We’ll see just how many girls Kanako hooks up with by the end of the series. My bet: zero. So far she’s groped more males than females. I have a feeling that won’t change anytime soon…

    @xyan
    Here, here comrade!

    @Baka-Raptor
    Don’t be a buzz kill, can Kanako be mistress of Ame no Kisaki? YES SHE CAN, but it will require REGIEME CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN. Just like how Hosaka might never grope Haruka for reals, it is still no reason not to encourage his active imagination. The same goes for Kanako. Even if she is doomed to be with Mariya we can at least egg Kanako on for creating Kanako Fantasies. Do you not believe in the AUDACITY OF HOPE or are you one of them neo-cons that kill fun kill fun and rage haet on the Yuri?

    If this Mariya is moved out of the way it will be possible but this Mariya is no fool… So if you wish to help out be useful for once and take care of Mariya, you have the claws…why don’t you use them? :P

    Is the dog really dead? Or was this just a tease?

    I also noticed the bullets… it’s like Matsurika sniped Kanako and then immediately beaned Kanako with a pinpoint pass to cover up the deed.

    Get it straight – Kiri is meganekko, while Honoka is tsundere for Kanako. And yes, that was a rather.. interesting expression on Kanako there.

    … and yes, Soyahoney, that did look more like Mariya being tsundere, which seems to be his modus operandi. I hope Calawain remembers, when asking to see Mariya naked, that there’s a tube under that skirt.

    @Kabitzin
    Perhaps, but Kanako is strong with the Yuri. It was a mere flesh wound and she was lovingly nursed back to health by Ayarin and Natsuru.

    @Haesslich
    Tell that to Kanako, I only stayed faithful to her song, did you not LISTEN TO HER SONG? Let’s not forget what happened to Ranka when she betrayed her song…

    Honoka is still trying to evade capture, she will be the tsundere upon her capture…

    Kanako seems to have confused ‘weird, cold girl’ with ‘tsundere’ – especially since it originally meant a girl who was cold and mean to the object of their affections, but who softened up after some time… whereas Kiri was always a bit soft, albeit just cold towards everyone until Sachi broke through the wall. Besides, it even says in the manga that Honoka’s tsundere for Kanako… which is one thing missing here, sorta like the way Touma and Fujioka met in Minami-ke, which explains why Fujioka seems to have failed to determine Touma’s gender.

    Although the idea of Mariya being a tad tsundere for Kanako would be… interesting.

  13. Posted March 1, 2009 at 3:19 am | Permalink

    Kanako wasn’t thinking terribly much of proper Linnean classification for moe modes. I think that Kanako was far too focused on the impeding cosplay party, I cannot say I blame her.

    As much as it is a tragedy that not all manga material is brought into animated form we can still hope that it does not diminish the comedy. Honoka will return much changed I hope.

    Lst’s see Mariya is tsundere to his whole family which he professes to love either he is a liar or his interest in Kanako had many facets. Considering the qualities of the Yuri Knight Kanako I would also not blame him for going for her. Then again she is considerably taller, though Maryia seems to prefer skirts and girly clothes any way.

    I was initially disappointed with the disappearance of the Kanako party trick, but Kanako’s “cosplay-angel” song and her (failed) assassination at Matsurika’s hands made up for it.

    @Haesslich: Mariya tsundere for Kanako would be nice. Very nice.
    But I’d like to hear all of it from Mariya’s thoughts because then we can hear about what he REALLY wants to do with her. -^^-

    Well I wonder if this anime can be any more crazy but it’s still enormous fun.Anyway President Kanako rulez but poor girl is constantly bleeding or ending in sick bay. Also I missed that party performance … really wanted to see that ><

    “The different kinds of angels” part was so beautiful I might never dream again. There should be a short musical on it, “tsundere angeeeel, loliiii angel”, with Kanako tangoing around ; also, I guess a whole spin off series, “Kanako’s Angels”, should be made today.

    catface: he’s already threatened to ‘stick it in to her’, so he doesn’t appear to be gay…

    Crusader: with regards to tsundere Mariya, I want to point out a few coincidences which may or may not apply to the series as a whole:

    1) Kanako’s parents are from Ame no Kisaki; her father was a teacher who knocked up her mother (a student) when the latter was 16-17. Her current teacher (Kumata-sensei) was Kanako’s mother’s kouhai and actually babysat for Kanako’s elder sister.

    2) Kanako has previously been to Ame no Kiseki, but has forgotten all about it, as evidenced by her comments to Kumatan in Episode 2 (and in the manga). Kanako was in the school and Kumatan played with her.

    3) Kanako has an aversion towards boys, and apparently this phobia developed from traumatic experiences at a young age… since she’s said nothing about having averse reactions to her own daddy, although he seemed to be into younger women (including his students).

    4) Mariya was also present in the area from a young age, due to the fact the school grounds intermingle with the family’s lands. Mariya has done some trauma to all of the female members of his family we’ve met so far, with the exception of his grandmother.

    5) Matsurika notes in Episode 3 that Kanako’s cross is styled very much like Mariya’s heirloom, which was inherited from the previous chairwoman of the schools. And Kanako’s got family ties to the school much like Mariya… and unlike everyone else, perhaps excepting Ayari Shiki.

    @TJ
    Well it would not surprise me if Kanako’s talent was in song. Coplay Angel is quite catchy.

    @Emperor
    Kanako has the same disease as Mein Kaiser Reinhard it seems truely she will be a great leader amongst women.

    @Nemo
    They need to take a page from Kawamori and have one episode dedicated exclusively to Kanako’s dreams.

    @Haesslich
    Perhaps it was all a coincidence, for coincidences happen every day…but I don’t trust coincidences.

    I wonder if Mariya and Kanako are fated to fight in a never ending duel, an Endless Waltz if you will. ;)

    Posted March 1, 2009 at 9:49 pm | Permalink

    Crusader: I’m leaning more towards Max and Millia (or should that be Mariya?) for this one.

  22. Posted March 2, 2009 at 12:41 am | Permalink

    That works wonderfully… say can we have a knife fight and an arcade duel. Also how awesome will the cake be?

    Also it’s done check your e-mail whenever you can. Lastly thanks.
