Basically, this show is a classic Shaft/Akiyuki Shinbo production. Aka, AWESOME.
I had always thought that the OP was okay, but nothing special, but the more I listen to the more I love it. It’s got a cool, jazzy feel that I don’t get to hear much, what with all the J-Pop OPs and other shit. At least Higashi no Eden threw some Oasis in there to make me happy. Oasis rules kicks major ass.
Exhibit One:
Exhibit Two:
There’s nothing better than incorporating non-anime material into an anime. It’s just awesome. Awesome awesome awesome. Awesome.
Honestly, this anime is making me realize what a failure Maria + Holic was. Natsu no Arashi triumphs over Maria + Holic. (err……well, a lot of anime triumphs over Maria + Holic). I can’t wait until summer when we get twoShaft/Akiyuki Shinbo shows in the third season of Sayorara Zetsubo Sensei, which, despite somehow not being in my top ten is actually the best show ever, and Bakemonogatari, both of which I will be watching (I won’t be watching much this summer………..I say that now anyway……).
natsu no arashi pwns maria holic
i fucking HATED maria holic
pwns?
(shakes head sadly)
maria holic failed because there wasn’t enough of Mariya and too much of Kanako. the maid guitar OP rocked though.
Oof….that OP was killer. I liked the ED too for some reason. Shaft always produces when it comes to the music.
i actually means to say “owns” but whatever… and the OP of maria holic was the only reason why i finished that show
Same here. Although I already prefer the opening to Natsu no Arashi
