Question from a non-watcher
Just wondering, since this series got its own forum, and that means it's pretty popular... what is it that you guys like about the series? What parts of it make you keep watching?
Thanks! I would simply like to know because I might want to try and DL it for myself |

The characters mostly. I really love all of the characters in this show and the ways that they interact together.
That is particularly important with MariMite because there are so MANY characters. You might want to take a look at the thread Help on Mariasama ga Miteru and leave it open when you watch the first episode in order to help sort out who is who. It is amazing and very rare, that with so many characters I really love them all.

I also really like all the characters. They're great, as others have said. The biggest complaint I have about this show is the animation--some episodes are better than others. :/ |

Anyway, it's subtitled in english. You don't have to understand those two words. Repeat after me : Soeur = Sister = One-sama ah, yeah, "En bouton". Just translate it by "Rosa x 's little sister". Rosa is latin, so you can say they use 4 languages. |

In the end, I did some mental association: "Rosa X" is the Original (so to speak), "Rosa X en bouton" is the understudy, and "petite soeur" is "little sister" no matter what. So "Rosa X en bouton petite soeur" turns into "little sister of the understudy of Rosa X". I still get confused. |

Petite soeur means little sister en bouton means in bud (plants therm). That's pretty easy to remember I think. The confusing thing is the Rosa stuff. rosa canina, Rosa Foetida etc.. hard to remember every thing I admit. This series is the only one that requires a sheet of paper with the names written on it. (I speak for myself here) |

I like this series for its many characters and their relations. It's a new series which doesn't look like the others ! the chara design is original. (but in two or three episodes, this chara design is not regular ! i'm disappointed). it doesn't matter but I think it's annoying.
on the other hand, the story is really interesting and the environment of these girls is drawn in a perfect way. all the characters are different. I think we must like the shojo style to like this series. but if you want to see a new shojo with a new design, new story, new love between characters, you must see it ! ;-) you should see the first episode and then you will have an idea ;-) Quote:
in the (only french maybe) catholic religion, we recite a "chapelet" but for people who to pray more, they recite 3 "chapelets". and these 3 "chapelets" are called a rosary! but of English into French (as for Japanese), a rosary is a chapelet. the french word "rosaire" is not translated by "rosary" in english. sorry but I cannot translated "chapelet" : Sachiko gave a rosary to Yumi. this rosary is a "chapelet" in french. Imagine 3 "chapelets" around the neck! lollll it is not possible! it would touch the ground lollll really really sorry for my english, but i'm out of time to write it... |

I bought several of them, and to understand the story more, I rushed over to the nearest Animate, K-Books, and Gamers store to get my hands on the entire 16 volumes of the novels the same day. Some of my favorite novels are in no order of preference: 1. "Ibara no Mori" 2. "Rainy Blue" 3. "Parasol o Sashite" I guess what pulled me in was the idea of the "sœur system" and the beautiful female relationship between the sœurs was something that was pure and clear; something that male readers [stereotypically] see as real-life high-school girls to be lacking nowadays.

Personally I watched the first episode and i personally don't like the "God" this and french that...I was wondering if I should even take up more harddrive space if all it's going to talk about is god...I get enough of that in real life. (Being a non-Christian based religion in a Morman/catholic dominated town). I mean i love the characters and stuff...but the Virgin mary thing is bugging me, My ideal anime always has this Savvy guy That keeps his cool and acts like he knows exactly what's going to happen next...or even just some sort of guy.

trust me, OkitaSoushiX, you will probably hate this anime because it features on interesting, pure, clear (and yet not clear) relationships between girls, no guys at all. Pity if you're the kind of guy who cares only about masculine "coolness"...

Yumi!
When A-Keep announced Maria-Sama as a project, I thought it sounded boring, austere and didn't really like the artwork on Sachiko, because I thought her nose was too pointed! But then I watched the preview and saw just how cute Yumi-chan is, and just had to watch the series. It took less than ten minutes to get me hooked!
