ARIA, Bodacious Space Pirates, Card Captor Sakura, Maria-Sama ga Miteru, Story of Saiunkoku

I’m supposed to be watching Planetes episode 18 Debris Section, The Last Day right now but I’ve had a brain draining week [1] and simply can’t face the effort required [2].

I recently ordered, and rewatched, Maria-sama ga Miteru (having only previously seen the fansubs).  As with the previous viewing I enjoyed it a lot.

That said… I do not know why I like this show.  There are so many reasons for why I should not like this show.  Thankfully, and as noted on the TV Tropes page, the “generally averted” fanservice isn’t one of them.

Despite staring at a mostly empty Semagic screen for half an hour or so I can’t think of anything else to say.

Why do I like this show?
