Maria Holic 5-6 -- Overall, not quite as good as the first four episodes.
Specifically, ep. 6 was better than ep. 5; 5 is the weakest episode so far, I thought. That whole segment through the first half of the show was overdone and never very funny, and while the second half was better, it didn't make up for the weak first part.
As for ep. 6, I do think that the show is overusing the "nosebleed" jokes... I've never been a fan of nosebleed stuff to begin with, but seriously, it's a bit overdone. Sure, the fact that here there are actually consequences -- she ends up in the clinic after major nosebleeds -- is kind of amusing, but still, I just think it's a kind of stupid thing. The episode was mostly funny anyway though.
