Yeah I have a pretty love hate relationship with Maria Holic myself. When it came right down to it though I did laugh more during that show than I did during others (even though it wasn’t always funny).

Seitokai is good in a way I didn’t expect. It might also be that it’s the newest and freshest in my mind.

As for a series I’ve watched which did bring much smile and laughter to me, I’ll go with Taishou Yakyuu Musume. Despite a seemingly “uninteresting” premise of having girls in the Taishou era playing baseball just to shove a statement down boys’ throat, I found it surprisingly good in an endearing way. It’s one of those shows which succeeded in making me giggle, laugh and accidentally spurt drool at my monitor in almost every episode. The best part of it was the characters weren’t even deliberately trying to be funny but they ended up doing stuffs which are stupid and hilarious one way or another. After finishing the series, I had to say it was one of the most underrated shows of Summer 2009 (depending on your Anime preferences).

As for Maria Holic, I have a love-hate relationship with it. I hated the way Mariya abused Kanako but at the same time, I found their interactions amusing (what a hypocritical statement on my part). Matsurika is my fave though. Talk about an amazing maid who even dares to insult her master with a deadpan face.
