LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I love this series so much it's unreal. I'm insanely biased because Muv-Luv is like my favorite thing ever, but honestly what is the point of making a review if I have to be unbiased and "objective?"
But yeah, it's hilarious and great. It gives some great development to Akane and all the Muv-Luv cameos make me so happy. It's plot is a parody of like 5 things at once and I love it so much. Gohda is the ideal protagonist in my opinion, and I wish he was real so I could date him.
Even though it's mostly comedy, it has some really deep parts in it as well.
This is a series I always come back to. It's one of my favorites ever.

AKANE MANIAX is a short OVA from the main series [Kimi ga Nozomu Eien ].
To be honest, it's been years since I've seen this OVA, and the drama still hovers in my head. This show is just in that category that is rarely touched upon.
If you've found this OVA, you should be here because you've seen Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.
That being said, this OVA deals during the hospitalization days, if I remember.
The main character this time is Akane, the sister. A minor character, from school notices her and immediately falls in love. This drama is truly sincere in showing the struggle between a real crisis, and emotions of a first love.
You really cant help but end up admiring the guys commitment, and being empathetic for the sister. That said, this OVA is a diamond in a bunch in how well it touches up…

This OVA is about Akane and how she deals with her memories of Takayuki after the end of the KGNE story. Obviously this won't make sense unless you've watched Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien. Akane is apparently still distressed and does not trust boys. Enter Goda, a completely stubborn and egocentric transfer student who immediately falls in love with Akane. This story tells their developing so called relationship.
There is a lot of parody between Goda and Takayuki from KGNE. The anime also seems to randomly throw in mechs, with Goda (and Takayuki) as pilots. Goda's clothing and the fact that he pilots a mech parodies G Gundam's Domon Kasshu.
Overall this is a fun watch, but I probably won't watch it again. However, do not expect the same drama as that in KGNE.
Animation:
The animation quality is…

I really disliked this ova. Maybe it's because I did not watch the original series, who knows? But, this ova was dreadful. I dropped it on the first episode because it kept jumping around all over the place. (If you watch it, you'll know what I mean). The only decent thing about the show was Akane. The main character annoyed me, and he was drawn badly, in my opinion. Avoid watching if you can.

OK this will be my first review so please spare me.
First of all I'll have to say that this review is extremely biased in a way. This anime makes countless references to Muv-Luv, a Visual Novel by Àge. Having played that game, this anime brings back memories, so like I said biased...
Story: 6
The story-line was not the best out there. Overused scenarios everywhere. The story about a guy who gets transferred and meets the girl of his dreams, and so on. Overused, but well brought and expanded, for a short three episode OVA show. It was good enough to prevent loss of interest, which is good enough for a 6/10.
ART: 8
ART was pretty good. Everything was relatively well drawn. I wont be much of a critic here, having watched it streamed, so I don't know if there were any errors in the art. All…

Probably in an attempt to cash in on the success of KGNE ("Kimi ga Nozomu Eien"), this spin off was made. Not only was it sub par, but it was bad enough to pollute my fond memories of KGNE. It's an OVA that focuses on Akane's side story that runs in parallel to part of the KGNE main storyline. Cast your mind back to the first couple of episodes of KGNE: until the big twist of events at the end of episode 2, KGNE was pretty poor right? Well, even those two episodes pales in comparison to the pile of sh*te that is "Akane Maniax". The first two episodes of KGNE can be best described as trashy romance laced with trashy comedy, Akane Maniax is probably best described as trashy comedy laced with trashy romance. Sounds similar, right? But what makes "Akane Maniax" so much harder to tolerate is th…

Spoilers for Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, beware.
I found this to be an interesting and likable OVA to one of my favorite anime drama series. There is a huge shift in the tone of the series, which explains the polarizing views of this mini-series. While the original Kimi ga Nozomu Eien was a very tragic affair, Akane Maniax turns into a parody of old big robot series from the past few decades, complete with a slapstick new character serving as the primary focus.
I can't say much for this OVA in terms of its technical aspects. It was fairly hard for me to track down a decent quality version of it, and one with dvd quality was nigh impossible. If I were to compare, the animation about as good as the original KGNE series but not as good as the ~Next Season~ ova. There are some differences, but this…

I watched this OVA only because of Akane. Gouda (or whatever his name is) is really stupid idiot. I hate him. Usually I don't hate comic characters, but this one... He annoys me to no end! I ended up skipping most of the mecha scenes. >.> I hate both teachers as well. the only good thing about this OVA is Akane. Her feelings were shown very well. It was hinted in KGNE that she loves Takayuki and OVA confirmed that. Also, I like both opening and ending songs. Opening video is alright, but without beach ecchi and mecha would great.
I'm glad that at the end Akane didn't stay with Gouda. But ending was confusing for people who never heard about game Muv-Luv which is sequel to Akane Maniax.
In short, this is very stupid OVA and I didn't like it.

Akane Maniax, almost to be considered a "sort of " sequel to the Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien (Rumbling Hearts) anime. Of course, this is only for recognition and this OVA is to be treated as an OVA and nothing else - it is only a spinoff.
I'd be happy to consider if I'm being biased towards my opinion on this show, since I have afterall watched Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien earlier and grown accustomed to the characters; coincidentally, in particular Akane Suzumiya. With that said, it should not come in the way of judging this anime objectively, since it is rather hard not to treat it as a stand-alone anime. Why do I say this? Afterall, it does include references to Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien, and some of these references cannot even be fully understood without watching said anime, particularly references about p…

OK, what was that? It’s either a big “so what?” or a big mistake. Either is just fine.
What an absurd storyline. It was worlds away from what Rumbling Hearts was. It went from drama to stupid in a snap. I mean, what’s with the mecha? I’m pretty sure this is the OVA for Rumbling Hearts, so where the heck did the mecha come from? I did say that I like Akane, in fact she was probably the only thing that was OK about this OVA, but even her presence wasn’t enough to catch my attention.
There were new characters (that teacher named Kouzuki, wasn’t that the name of the doctor in Rumbling Hearts?) and all of them were just irritating and forgettable. Plus, they all lacked charisma. Even for Akane. She was different this time around, and that kissing scen…

Story:
The overall story is pretty good. I really liked all the obstacles the main character had to overcome just to get accepted. However, the ending was a little disappointing but at the same time reasonable as well as weird and funny. Also, this OVA is really funny at times especially all of the mecha parodies introduced into the story line.
Animation:
Not much to say here, but clean, crisp animation expected out of an OVA. Especially, the comedic scenes.
Sound:
There's not much of a soundtrack to this OVA, just your typical instrumental background music. You don't really notice it at all. It really doesn't make much of an impact during the more serious scenes.
Character:
By far the main character Jouji Gouda is one of my favourite anime characters. You can't help but admire his…
