Maria-sama 4 ep 11
I’ve hesitated blogging about episode 11 of Maria-sama ga Miteru largely because I’ve neglected blogging about episodes 7 through 10. Of the ones I mentioned, episode 7 with the Christmas Party was particularly dramatic and worthy of a blog post all on it’s own. Episode 8 was surprisingly a bit of a let down with the current Yamiyurikai visiting Sachiko’s house for a New Year’s celebration. Episode 9 picks up again with the Yamiyurikai elections, of which Touko is a surprise candidate. Finally, episode 10 focuses on the aftermath of the election, Suguru’s visit to Sachiko concerning Touko, and the planning of a new Valentine’s event featuring the upcoming Roses.
I decided to start blogging about Maria-sama again largely because I have been following the series and because the anime is quickly coming to its dramatic conclusion. I felt that the tensions about Touko had been steadily building since episode 6, culminating with this episode. While I do feel a little bad that I didn’t give the other episodes their just do, I do feel that as a blogger, you have to focus on what interests you and not slavishly write something just because you feel obligated. The writing that comes out of such obligation tends not to be the best.
Maria sama 4th, episode 6
Episode 6 of the 4th season of Maria-sama ga Miteru was in a word, awesome. There was just so much win in this episode that I’m breaking my rule of doing one episode recaps. Generally, since I want to focus my site equally among a different topics, I avoid doing one episode recaps and just talk about trends I see in an anime series. Sometimes a lot doesn’t happen in an episode (see my thoughts on episode 5), but so much happened in episode 6 that it feels like three or four episodes crammed into one. Read more
