History YMMV / MariaHolic

* ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs: It's pretty much ''LightNovel/MariaWatchesOverUs'' on crack and acid, except for the small detail of being intentionally alienating to the YuriGenre audience.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Even people who like this admit the premise sounds ''deeply'' uncomfortable. Mentioning it in YuriGenre circles is considered outright trolling.

* ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs: It's pretty much ''[[LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru Marimite]]'' on crack and acid, except for the small detail of being intentionally alienating to the YuriGenre audience.

** Mariya is either a hilarious troll who manages to fool everyone in an all-girls school or a sadistic jerkass who should be castrated and murdered.

* CoveredUp: The cover of "Kimi Ni Mune Kyun" that serves as the anime's ending theme is far better known than [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYN-6R_YQ_I the original 1986 version]] by Music/YellowMagicOrchestra.

* AmericansHateTingle: While the manga was never a smash hit in Japan, it was ''deeply'' unpopular in North America, to the point where the translated version was unceremoniously dropped after only a few volumes, presumably due to dismal sales.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Both Mariya and Kanako. The first one is either a hilarious troll who [[CrossesTheLineTwice lives at the other side of the line]] or a horrible monster who should be castrated and murdered. The second is either a poor little woobie who is hit with lots of underserved misfortune, or a complete moron who never learns how to not bring said misfortune on herself.

* TheScrappy: Both Kanako AND Mariya have some hatedom from both sides (the former for being a bit of pervert, and the latter being a sadistic crossdresser who manages to fool everyone in an all-girls Catholic high school).
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong -- One of "The Final Countdown" plays during some shocking moments.
* ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs -- It's pretty much ''[[LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru Marimite]]'' on crack and acid, except for the small detail of being intentionally alienating to the YuriGenre audience.
* TheWoobie: Kanako. Especially when the abuse and misfortune she suffers goes too far.

* LoveItOrHateIt: Because of the [[AudienceAlienatingPremise premise]], people either love the show for its comedic writing and for satirizing the YuriGenre, or hate it for its sexist, mean spirited premise and its [[ChivalrousPervert main]] [[{{Jerkass}} characters.]]
** SoOkayItsAverage: [[TakeAThirdOption To the people in between.]] Those people saw the show as an average, if boring, anime.

** While it's somewhat still true, not only did both seasons of the anime ended up getting re-released with an English dub ,but another company began translating the series again...even including an ominous format!

* AnimeCatholicism: Constantly parodied as the entire series is essentially a parody of Catholic-centered Yuri.

* DudeNotFunny: Anything that Mariya does to Kanako, which comes off as incredibly sexist and needlessly cruel.
