Anime distributor Section23 Films and Sentai Filmworks have announced and detailed the Blu-ray release of
Maria-Holic Alive, studio Shaft and director Akiyuki Shinbo's 12-episode followup to
Maria-Holic, which streets early next year.
Alive is set to arrive two months later, on March 25, 2014.
Synopsis: Some things never change: Ame no Kisaki, that famous and exclusive boarding school, still doesn't accept boys, and Kanako, Kisaki's most romantically unfortunate student, still doesn't accept them either. (They give her the hives. Literally.) Sadly, that means that Kanako's still trying to connect with anyone of the same sex, and having the usual horrid luck.
Kanako's still in imminent peril of dying from the constant nosebleeds she gets from being over-stimulated by the presence of her fellow classmates. She's still forced to endure the tragedy of sharing a room with the school's most beautiful girl who is, of course, still a guy in drag. Poor Kanako! She came hoping to find love and happiness, and all she's found is misery, frustration and a level of desperation so great that she'll even take a chance on a sleepover in a dorm filled with deathtraps.

Maria-Holic Alive features series episodes 1-12, 1080p video, lossless English and Japanese audio, and English subtitles. Extras include:
