Essentially they're the same type of anime. A loser guy with secret hidden powers is suddenly the love target for a bunch of hormone crazed teenage witches - with lots of magical shenanigans and ecchi hijinks thrown into the mix.
I have to say though that of the two, Magikano was funnier.
Because they both deal with some sort of magical powers. Also there is one boy special boy(main character) who is liked by a number of girls that fight over him.
Oh c'mon. Harem anime, girls with magical power, boy with strong magical power. C'mon, it's completely obvious!
These two shows are alot alike, there both about boys who all of a sudden get surronded by lovly young girls.
They have chararters with very simlier trait
Yuna- Maika
Kuriko- Ayami
Yuri-Rin
there both funny amd fun to watch, if you like Maburaho you should try Magikano ^^
out of the teo Magikano is funnier and crazier but there both good...

Think of Magikano as SnH, only watered down with a lot of echi. Or the other way around: SnH is a distiled Magikano with ten times the laughter and a much better ending.
Hilarious and insane. Magikano is also as funny with some of the 'worst' facial expressions i ever watch on anime!

Oct 3, 200813 of 13 episodes seen 8 of 10 people found this review helpful Magikano is the purest example of how cookie-cutter genre anime can go horribly wrong. You have pretty much every clichéd plot device and character you can think of stuffed into 12 episodes, revolving around a story that ranges from mediocre to just plain bad. The original storyline goes away after 2 episodes to carry on with oppressively obvious filler until they finally get to the point near the end.
The funniest thing about Magikano is that the things that come up in the... anime often only help to destroy itself. For instance, the main character, Haruo, is a clichéd dummy who’s a total wuss, but somehow every hot girl surrounding him, even his own sisters, want him – the typical harem environment right? However, he doesn’t know that he has “strong magical powers” and his sisters don’t want him to get freaked out by their magic, so whenever he sees them actually use magic, they hit him upside the head with a “magical hammer” so he forgets everything he saw. Here’s the problem though: if the sisters keep knocking him out and resetting his brain, then his character never grows and advances. It’s like watching episode 1 all over again! Another example is the female lead, Ayumi. She has to help Haruo discover his power before a curse on her ends up destroying her. However, throughout the anime, she treats him like a weak clown (which he is), so while we’re supposed to be buying into the idea that they can get closer, all it does is make the viewer think they look more like brother and sister, so no matter what, the ending will never work!
The characters are fine – but there’s nothing unique about any of them, so they’re forgettable at best. The voice acting leaves something to be desired and the story drags and drags, trying to be funny, but hardly even close. There is some charm to it, which is what allowed me to watch all 12 episodes without giving it up, but that’s all there is to be said about it.
Try something better. That’s the simplest recommendation I can give. It’s not as bad as Kimi ga Nozomu Eien or Final Approach, but it’s not even in the same hemisphere as good harem anime like Love Hina or Ah! My Goddess.
