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 lik…

tl;dr: A kind of not really sequel season that is very different from the first season in that it completely drops the overarching plot, but in the end is still about as good.
This is called the sequel to the first season of Maken-Ki, but I really don't think that's the right way to think about it. Rather, it seems to be a completely new work inspired by the same original work. Most of the cast of characters, the setting, and the general atmosphere for most of it is the same. However, it drops the plot threads from the first season completely, instead now focusing on smaller episode long adventures rather than anything that ties into an overarching story or any character or relationship development arcs. The episodes also focus on a different character each episode, with the main characte…

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Honestly if they ever decide to make a Season 3, you find it to be outdated in 2019, tricks that worked back then wouldn't work going forward.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

Story - N/A
Art - Big Boobs and sexy panties everywhere
Sound - Terrible - Boob flops sound like someone smacking their thighs
Characters - Dumb big boobed chicks and 2 fake perverts who get into great situations but are to chicken to do anything (aka average anime per MC)
Enjoyment - If you like Big boobs and sluts this is for you
Overall - Unlike the first season this anime has no story advancement whatsoever. Maken-ki 2 is entirely Fanservice 1 shots with evey episode have big tits on screen for a decent amount of screen time.
(Episode 0 is my favorite because MC turns into a girl and does naughty things)

Maken-Ki has no story to it. People don't like the anime because of the story.But watching each episode you can still be entertained. Imma try to keep this short but I love Maken-Ki,Even though there is no story to it.If your someone who's bored Maken-Ki is a anime you have to watch.
In my opinion I think they should make a new anime with Maken-Ki but with a story.I'm sure it would become very popular.But even if they don't add a story,I still wish for it to continue.
The characters all have different styles, even though they always have problems with people staring at their boobs,It's still entertaining to watch them go out with their lives messing around and fighting one another.
I highly recommend Maken-Ki

For those who like fan service it is enjoyable.
Anime has practically no history or something Exciting. It is
Just a cool fun anime to watch and cool characters
only serves to distract, if you have time.
I do not think it's bad, it's just OK, cool but nothing better.
The first season I found better because the art was made by another studio and was much better, and in the secondseason the quality dropped .
There was character development in the first season but in season 2 nothing.
I do not know why, although the story is simple, they did not continue from the end of season 1, and had just comedy, fun and, oppai, oppai, and more oppai.
For last, is a cool anime to watch with much fanservice nothing else.
Overall > 6 .

Continuing on from the first season, everything is still pretty much the same, as in if you don't enjoy fan service, you shouldn't bother.
There is no story/plot until episode 10, which is just a background origins story so it doesn't really continue anything. Compared to the season before, which was pretty minimal in story, the story in this nonexistent.
The comedy, random action and loads of nudity are still there from before.
Unusual but funny occurrences, like the girls turning into cute, sexy kitties are one of the highlights.
The fan service is the best part of this series, so unless you came for that I don't think you'll enjoy it. And assuming you're reading this, you've watched the first season and enjoyed it, or you didn't like the first season so this one wouldn't be good for yo…

Maken-Ki Two - Watched through English Dubbed
1st Season Produced by AIC , The 2nd Season by Xebec. you will see the difference already the art, color and stuff look different. AIC did a pretty good job of the art, really love the color and the drawing. Some Voice actors changed like for Kodama Himegami and Kengo Usui. Did not notice it until i was halfway in the season.
Expectations for the 2nd season:
Will Maken ki fight Kamigari?
Will Takeru remember his past with Inaho?
Venus ally/Enemy?
Season 2 didnt answer one of my questions . was really looking forward for this but they gave us boobies, history for some characters and more boobies. but still i had fun watching but not the level of my satisfaction. 5/10 for me .
still want next season which will be more centered at the story.

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 li…

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.

Maken-Ki is a strange case for me. I actually liked season two more than the first season. Before you look at me as if you were an Edvard Munch painting, allow me to explain what twisted logic made me see things this way.
Let me ask something first, does anyone really care about the story of Maken-Ki that much? As other reviewers keep stating, the first season had some plot and developments, while this had little to none of it. However, does that mean the plot of season one was any good? Not really. It had a generic and inconsequential plot that amounted to very little at the end, presented alongside intrusive fan-service that distracted from any potential immersion that could be had.
What I appreciate in season two is that it’s honest. Without a story to follow, the fan-service ceases t…

The second season of Maken-Ki. Don't watch this until you've watched the first season, because it otherwise won't make any sense. On the other hand, this is about the most generic "magical combat school" anime there is, so that's pretty much all you need to know ahead of time.
Just be warned that this show is half action-oriented and half ecchi comedy. If you're the type of person to be turned off by gratuitous panty shots, cleavage, and frontal nudity with obscenely large breasts, you should skip this one.
Story: 5
I'm not entirely sold on what they did this season. The characters and setting are already established, so they abandoned any pretense of having a seasonal story arc and went completely episodic this time around. If these episodes were presented in random order and you had t…

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 th…

I have honestly stop watching this anime half way through episode 2 this anime is so annoying that I couldn't bear to continue.The first thing that pissed me off is the MC obsession with Haru (I don't know if that her name but don't care at the same time) its really annoying because their is other character who i liked from season 1 and could have their stories developed more but that just didn't happen and anime that I like I like their to be multiple love interest that could all some how and up with the MC but this was no where to be seen and Haru tsundere character is quite annoying because I though that would have been gone by now.I would recommend this anime for people who like Massive tits, a MC who seem to really are about one person and people who want to learn how not to write a h…

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, b…

First off, This is a 2nd season of sorts, What do i mean, Well I'll explain. As we all remember Maken-Ki Aired on 2011, So i bet you all are expecting the following:
1. How is Takeru related to Kodama Himegami
2. Who is Takerus father and his role in Maken-ki
3. Relationship Inaho and Haruko towards takeru.
4. Kamagari relations to Tenbi
5. What happened to the US Pop star.
Well, As you all know the 1st season was produced by AIC Studios, The 1st OVA as well, The 2nd OVA was AIC partnered with Xebec Studios. Xebec took command of the 2nd season, AIC was left out.
There are many ways to approach this so, I'll do it this way. We all know a basic anime plot, 1 - leads to 2, Then to 3, but these events do not happen in next day correlations, As we know entire weeks or semesters are skipped…

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…

I never watched the first season of Maken-Ki! but for some reason I found myself picking this up and watching it till the end. Probably because Aki Nijou is my waifu.
There is no decent story to be found here and that's ok with me because I didn't watch this show expecting any.
Art was great because it supported this series main selling point of fan service.
Sound was so-so. Opening and ending songs were ok. The sounds of breasts bouncing was most noticeable.
Character. Two words AKI NIJOU. Rest were forgettable.
Overall, I give this series a 7 because it did what it intended to do well: give enjoyable fan service.

I enjoyed the first season of Maken Ki they set down a decent backstory, introduced all the main characters, and set up the second season for a successful continuation of the story. Unfortunately the second season never advances the story at all, in fact nothing that happens in season 2 is in the manga at all. You remember the evil organization Hiragana that is trying to take over the school? Yeah not mentioned at all during the second season. How about VENUS the transfer students who in the manga have a huge battle? Not mentioned at all during Maken Ki 2. The majority of episodes have a lot of fan service yet, have little to no real advancement to the story overall.
Story: 3/10 Poor
As I said the story is exceptionally weak so weak in fact that none of them happen in the manga at all. T…

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 bef…
