If there was one thing this anime did fantastically well, it was building up hype among ecchi fans. Maken-Ki! Two was the “Dream Team” scenario of ecchi anime. Takami had previous made a name for himself by handling the same role in Kanokon and Ladies versus Butlers, which had arguably the most fapable fanservice extras of all time (he also did the character design for Upotte!! and oddly, Shaman King ). *I actually thought the first season was awesome, but that’s just like, my opinion, man.Īpparently this wasn’t enough, because Xebec even brought in Akio Takami to handle the character designs and fanservice extras. Very few ecchi manga would elicit more excitement with a follow up effort than Maken-Ki! would. A sequel was seen as a way to redeem a somewhat botched first season for one of the best ecchi manga currently running*. ĭespite the first season (produced by AIC) being disappointing to some, the manga and characters remained highly popular and most of the grumbling for the first season came from AIC’s character design and art style (the first season had the same character designer as Escaflowne. It combined Xebec’s growing legend in the ecchi genre with the infamous Hiraku Kaneko, a director who took ecchi anime to new heights with Seikon no Qwaser and Manyuu Hikenchou. It was arguably the most anticipated ecchi anime ever. Maken-ki! Two arrived with massive expectations. You might want to grab a cup of coffee for this one.
