Maken-Ki! Two

I watched the first season of maken-ki!It was an ordinary ecchi-harem show with a perverted MC,perverted best friend,childhood friend and some random girls...But this season managed to be different from any other ecchi anime,reached a new high...

CHARACTERS:1/10
There is no character/character development in this season,there are just different boob sizes...We didnt even see MC Ooyama Takeru enough to see if he has some development(because he has no boobs) we just know he has his maken now(which he never uses) and he doesn't need glasses anymore...

STORY:0/10
It isn't an exaggeration,there exist no story in Maken-Ki! Two...closest thing i can remember as plot in this season was the ... episode we learned cup sizes of every character in the show using the alphabet(One of the Teachers was a K or Z cup )...One episode was about a girl( i don't even remember her boobs from first season) fantasizing about another girl for 24 minute,another episode was about a teddy bear(!)doing something to some boobs for another 24 minute...

SOUND:4/10
i liked the opening but there was nothing special about other soundtracks.

ART(Boobs):3/10
Well there are boobs,there are small boobs,big boobs,bigger boobs(mostly bigger boobs )...These boobs sometimes wear bras,sometimes they wear swimsuits,sometimes they are naked...The only development seems to be about boobs,they grow bigger after first season and they are so unrealistic that it just hurts to watch them and i can honestly say that as a normal man who loves boobs i didn't enjoy watching these boobs running around for 24 minute every episode,not even a little...(Well,maybe just a little)

OVERALL:1/10
If you want to watch an ecchi anime without any second genres like action,comedy,drama,romance watch it otherwise don't waste your time...even though thats the case i would advise you to go watch hentai instead(at least you wouldn't fall asleep while watching hentai)...

Edit:Some Wizard guy made Fanservice compilations of this after BD releases so you can watch those instead of struggling 10 episodes of boring stuff...

I watched the first Maken-ki and enjoyed it fairly well though I though there was a bit too much fanservice. The end of Maken-ki left me looking forward to season two for more of the storyline about the MC and the immediately surrounding supporting cast. Maken-ki two was a horrible let down.

There was absolutely NO continuation from the original Maken-ki. Previously developed character relations were lost. The excessive fanservice was doubled (in certain episodes). Despite my belief that there was too much fanservice, there was also censoring...horribly inconsistent censoring. If you were hoping to find out more about ANY of the characters from the original, ... I am sorry to say you won't find it here.

Story: 1/10 -- Non-existent

Art: 7/10 -- I do prefer this type of artwork over others, but at times you can see where the artists got lazy and ignored quality. There are also times where extra "chub" is added to characters that wasn't previously there.

Sound: 7/10 -- I don't find myself to be a good judge of openings and endings, but as for dialogue and sound FX, the volume levels were consistent so that constantly adjusting my volume throughout a single episode was not necessary.

Character: 1/10 -- Such disappointment. All character development was lost. Only one episode had mildly interesting character interaction, but it was ruined towards the end and completely forgotten by the next episode.

Enjoyment: 3/10 -- I HAVE seen worse, but I had to push myself to watch all 10 episodes so that I can rightfully claim to have seen all 10. I was not amused (except for that one episode mentioned above--short lived), in fact, I found myself pausing every episode at least once to do something else (very unlike me).

Overall: 3/10 -- While I did enjoy the artwork, this season of Maken-ki was even more of a waste than Full Metal Panic - Fumoffu. I will NOT be watching this again for any reason. (sent to recycle bin and deleted)

Well, this anime is quite a disappointment, so, I just gonna present my ratings pertaining to this anime:

Story: Pathetic 1.

Co'z there isn't any, the whole 10 episodes are pretty much compose of radom plots.


Art: Outstanding 10.

Ok, so I'm guilty of enjoying this anime's fanservice, like the panty shots, semi censored boob flashes and booty calling that this anime has, in fact it's all about the fanservice than anything else.
...
Sound: Mediocre 5.

Because, I just don't have anything to say about the seiyus, opening and closing theme, but I do give credit for the boing boing sound that those big boobed character's make when walking.

Character: Mediocre 5.

The only difference that this season 2 has from the previous season, was that the other character's have some aired time unlike before it was only focus on Takeru, Haruko, Inaho and Kodama, but still that's as good as it gets.

Enjoyment: Very Good 8.

Because it was only the fanservice that I enjoy.

Overall: Pathetic 1.

Tbh, season 1 was better than this sequel, you might say that this is one of those animes that has gone from not bad to really bad. Because unlike this sequel, season 1 has a plot and a climax, the sequel was more on the fanservice, in fact everything for this sequel was all about the fanservice, and that's as good as it gets....BOINK! BOINK!

So what can i say about maken-ki 2? Well let me put it in its simplefest description... Boobs.

Yes boobs, its a whole titty feast, an all you can see boobie galore. Most people watch shows for the story and plot but in this anime the 'plot' never seems to fail, it comes hitting you and all directions. I'm a boob man myself i love them! But even i draw the line in this, can you believe it? Too much boobs? What? Well yes just too much and their appearance never makes sense at all! Like there is no need to jiggle them in all direction ... when you're just standing there doing nothing! Also some of these titties make the girls look completely dispropotional it doesn't make sense at all! How the hell do they find the energy to lift their chest, run, sleep, etc! That's just sheer willpower right there, i swear of one of them girls fall their tatas would come down to earth and make an impact greater than the asteroid that wiped out the dinosuars all those million of years ago.

Oh and for those who love panty shots, don't worry just as season 1 did before there's plenty so don't get dissapointed, just the first episode alone hits you with 7! I repeat 7 panty shots in under 8 minutes of the episode.

This anime define the sub-genre fan service i'm honestly surprise that there isn't full nudity i think that's the biggest surprise there is! Anyways enough of titty talks let get down to business for those who actually care about the story and not the 'plot' but the plot.

Story: 1
The story as like an episode that doesn't feature boobs, was none existence. From capturing a pervet to cliché memory lost (or in this case stole) to student/teacher taboo love. You name it, each episode was a short way of becoming a hentai that's the only story behind this anime, just a bunch of wacked-out antics every episode; no main villians, no true motive or purpose to gain basically this whole season is one major ova special is all. The fact that it even lasted 10 episodes is a feat on in itself, such a waste of money that could've went to a production of a much worthy anime. Also its been 2 seasons now and i'm still confuse about the whole maken and element power, why must you be so greedy have 1 power/weapon not 2 who the hell you think you are maken-ki?

Art: 2
Its the only thing that is good, but its not like its that great anyways! Most animes improve their art style over the years/seasons, this one kept it pretty generic. However the girls just look completely disproportion and its a total eyesore.

Sound: 4
Trust me as far as the ost goes there is none that sticks to your head honestly, I know I won't be getting on youtube searching for the ost. The opening song is just as boring and plain as it get, it puts you to sleep before the show starts, they conteract this by zooming into haruko's boobs multiple times just to keep you awake, and as for the ending just the same just more titties is all.

Character: 3
No developement what-so ever so that's out the window, the characters seem more bland then before! Takeru is not even the main focus yet he and haruko are the face of this series yet what was the point about them even being in this season? Trust me they were as boring as most recurring character that appear out of no where with no explanation yet dissapear into the light leaving no impact.

Enjoyement: 3
Honestly it would've just made sense if they would've just made this into a hentai honestly, nothing about this anime entertained me at all. Honestly i suffered watching the first season readying a gun to my head, how in the world did i think this season would've been different, regardless i gave it a shot and honestly these will be the 2 days i'll never get back.. I'm dissapointed that I even gave this a try and actually thought it would be good oh boy... Trust me on this if you have to choose between watching you grandma's back or watching this for enjoyement! Well i got news there's a window right there so run away as fast as you can. (You have been warned).

Overall: 2.6 out of 10
I honestly don't know what else to say, but still if you guys want to give it a try cause you're drawn in to the 'plot' go right ahead, our experience may differ, as they say one man's trash is another person's treasure or something like that so who knows maybe you might enjoy, however i do recommend not to fap as those "sexy" scenes only last for like 20 seconds, but if you still find it fappable then wank away my little gupies.

Sometimes I think it's impossible for a anime to completely shoot its own foot but this "sequel" proves it's possible AND can self-eviscerate in the process. With the title featuring 'Two' you'd rightly think this to be a sequel, however, any actual continuity is absent from this iteration. Save for names, places, and a few inconsequential references to prior events this series bares no resemblance to it's prior self. It's more like what Pokemon did with the AU movies starting in 2017, where knowing a bit about the anime might help but overall you don't need to actually know every reference. It's still ... a disappointment because it somewhat acts like a follow up but it's more like NISEKOI's S2 and THAT wasn't even the adapters' fault, just forgets everything and goes slice of life.

It's like Xebec, who was responsible for the wreck of To-Love-Ru's first season followed by a more 1:1 MOTTO, just saw the story, thought it was meh and decided to make every episode like it's part of another anime. It's trope bingo here, every episode goes for what normally is an anime's whole concept, a memory loss, teacher x student, cat girls, crossdressing girls where the one doing so looks suspiciously like Tomo-chan, manga convention participation... How the mighty have fallen. One good grace is that the characters are at least more consistent, no more out-of-character moments from people like Uzui turning righteous or Himegami suddenly becoming too passive in any interaction. Though don't celebrate since it doesn't really amount to anything and for whatever reason Takeru lost his glasses between seasons and we never find out how that happened. Remember too how he has no idea about his power? Yeah, that's also missing here. Remember his harem? Well, the season's more an ensemble so it really doesn't get any attention whatsoever. Only 3-4 have it and even then most of it are just moments than the focus.

What really stings, however, is that it's like this season KNOWS it's actively stepping away from the story. The opening stinger montage is a shpeal spoken by one of the characters and while it seems aware of the main point, the villains it alludes to have been reduced to nameless NPCs who're just causing havoc for the sake of it rather than the world conquering villains alluded to throughout S1. The opening itself also seems aware of its continuity yet none of it's part of the season. The only episode that seems to be canon is the final one but even that one acts rather oddly about it's validity. One thing that is consistent is the fanservice, so if that's appealing and you find To-Love-Ru's art style amazing, this will satisfy.

It's NOT BAD, but if you were curious about the deeper, darker plot, this won't due. Only episodes really worth mentioning being eps 1, 6-7, 8-10.

Im not gonna write a long as revive allot of people already did I just gonna add my taught´s on it.

This anime plus season 1 will not win any award maybe in being full of fan service.

The story if it had any was meh it was all about tits lots of girls I bet they made this anime when they had raging boners and the brain left.

But I do say it made me laugh and that´s always a plus for me because some times I just wan´t see an anime that is not about death or blood and sadness sure ... I would rather say see Karin or slayers if you wan´t a good laugh but 10 episodes was okey and I could just forget about the real world and laugh a bit so I give it a 3 but that´s also im a sucker for bad movies and animes if they are funny enough.

If you rely hate bad jokes and tits don´t see it, if you like bad jokes and don´t care about tits see it at your own risk.

Overall: 2
You may be surprised ( because I'm a girl ) but I actually enjoyed the story and character development of season 1. I feel like the makers of Maken Ki just got lazy in season 2 and gave us bullshit characters and a bullshit story instead of giving us a better story with the characters who were developed in season 1.
I would've given it a 1 for a score, but I didn't because there were some moments that
( surprisingly )managed to make me laugh.

So here's the last question: ... would I recommend this anime? Surprisingly, yes. I actually watched a video explaining why we should watch bad anime. I think you should watch this anime ( even though it's filled with boobs ) because it could help you decide what kind of anime you like to watch and what kind you dislike.

Here's the link to the video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DwcO7otEMuc


Other scores:
Story: 1
Art: 5
Sound: 4
Character: 1

Like there are better things to watch but I didnt mind wasting my time watching this show, there is no promises of it getting better. The show gives it to you straight away, just turn off your brain type of thing.

Would I rewatch it, hell no. Did I enjoy it myself though? Yes

Just like any ordinary comedy echi anime, season 2 completely forgets to bring in a story and the characters are dumb af, but you find stupid entertainment here.

Honestly if they ever decide to make a Season 3, you find it to be outdated in 2019, tricks that worked back then wouldn't work ... going forward.

If you end up watching, just enjoy for what it is.

I am in ep 4, and although I'm not dropping, I'm gonna say this: this is not a continuation of season 1. It may as well be a bunch of OVA's put together in a list a call them season 2. It is really just fanservice.
Basically, watch it if you want to get "busy", otherwise, Maken-ki ends in season 1. In ep 3... well... catgirls, for you to get the gist.

Again, THIS IS NOT A CONTINUATION AT ALL. PURE FANSERVICE. THERE IS NO STORY WHATSOEVER. REALLY, IT IS BASICALLY FANSERVICE TO WHICH YOU CAN F** TO EVERY 2 OR 3 MINUTES.

So far only ep 4 ... doesn't rely on fanservice. It is the only one that does have a plot and focuses on characters.

Even though the first season of Maken-Ki was your average harem/ecchi show that contained many common tropes, I still enjoyed my time with it and I was at the very least interested in the plot a bit. While not original, I was curious about where the second season was headed. Unfortunately, the second season of Maken-Ki is a disappointment and a downgrade almost across all boards.

If you were curious about where the story was going to go beyond the first season, keep your expectations to the lowest point because there is essentially zero plot/narrative throughout. No arc, no continuation of the overarching story, no further ... character development, none. The entirety of the second season is all self-contained, low-stakes, big-boob-filled episodes that put way more emphasis on ecchi than action. Honestly, you could skip the first season and watch the second one right away with no context. There's also a lot more fanservice in this season compared to the first. The fanservice isn't bad and contains boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, surprisingly boobs, catgirls, and even bigger boobs. While this season's episodes aren't inherently bad and weren't completely unenjoyable (for some episodes), the sudden change in direction for the show was a whole 180 for me and ultimately left me slightly frustrated that they chose this.

If you're looking for an anime show that is just pure fanservice with guaranteed boob showing in every episode and nothing else then this is the show for you.

personally I hate this anime you might as well turn this into a henatai the characters are crap and there's no actual plot the story is going to no were. This anime is plain fan service and its not even trying to hide it. i have seen the first season now the second season has nothing to do with the first absolute useless its like bikini warriors nothing just useless fan service that has nothing to do with the anime.
only fighting but for what at the end off each episode its just erotic scenes off random girls. The titty shots are useless and physics and ... everything else i might as well rewatch prison school at this point
