Akane Maniax OVA
While this series has not yet been licensed it is produced by MFI, therefore we won't be listing fansubs here on AnimeSuki. See Removal of Media Factory Inc. Works for details.
Since it is "restricted", the following posts are no longer allowed in this thread.
You still are allowed to discuss the anime, that has not changed but please remember to limit the discussion to the story. End of edit by Mod (xris) --- Considering it's not a fansub, nor is it really a part of KGNE, I figured it was ok to make a new thread for this. It's basically just a 30 second TV spot for Akane Maniax, gives people who hadn't heard the voices before a good idea how it'll sound, plus a general tone of the story. http://homepage.mac.com/gwchang/akamani_30s_cm.mov

If you search the title in animenewsnetwork, it is described as a spinoff of KGNE characters, described as
comedy, mecha, romance Yeah, this looks interesting, they're really going to pull the fanboys in on this one. I'ma downloading the raw right now. Any groups express interest in subbing this? |

Here we go!
2 groups have the first Akane Maniax OVA already out. I watched it, and... Brings back memories! Some background music are similar to Kiminozo, and Akane... remains angsty as usual! Still can't get over Bakayuki, eh? So from one weird guy to the next, in the person of Gouda! She really has no luck with men... Spoiler:
The new (Muvluv) characters are quite nice, and Chizuru... CHIZURU!! (meganekko syndrome) cute~~~! Gouda daydreams too much, and heck he doesn't deserve Akane. How would this end? I can't play the game so I wouldn't know, I hope they don't get together or something...

I think the highlight of the episode for me was the 17 seconds of that wonderful Rumbling Hearts piano rendition. That's what the piano version should sound like! The "pf" version and "pianoarrange" versions that I know exist are alright, but I must have the full version of this one, anyone know a cd which would have it? I want to transcribe it!

Well, as a fan of the original in a HUGE way i was eagerly awaiting this. And what a let down. It was so lame it defies belief. Cann't believe i wasted bandwidth downloading this, i want my bandwidth back!!! hehehe
It couldnt be as far from KGNE if it tried, oh well back to KotOR 2 for a while then |

It wasn't that bad. I liked how they referenced KgNE throughout the episode, especially the beginning with the cellphone. Only problem I have with it is the way Gouda is drawn, he looks out of place in there with the way everyone else is displayed. I'm like, he reminds me of Goku from DragonBall Z with that hair. I hope he doesn't end up with her at the end.
I hope in the second OVA, more guys try for Akane's affections...be more interesting than just Gouda going on or dreaming for 20 mins. Also, how he reacts to jealousy, and maybe losing her to someone else; he can't stand to lose, so losing someone so important to him would be great. |

Is it just me? or anyone else notice the *slight* similarity in name and appearance to akane in Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien? I wonder if the ova is somehow related...
Edit: Its definately akane from kimi, just saw the scene with narumi on her cell |

Gouda is definitely a parody of a hot-blooded anime hero... The way he and those guys he fights in the beginning of the episode is drawn is very similar to how they draw characters in super robot anime, and all those mecha references adds to it. I guess he's supposed to be contrasted with Takayuki who's quite the opposite of him as he's the typical angsty wimpy anime hero.

Just to be fair Gouda IS deeply in love with Akane and is TRYING his very best, but he's just naturally stupid and keep messing things up.....hey, being dim-witted is not a crime Last edited by Marine-RX179; 2004-11-29 at 15:39. |

Maybe I too was jaded from being a big fan of KGNE. Maybe it's because I've never played the Akane Maniax game. However, this show was just dissapointing. It felt more like "Gouda Maniax w/ a special guest appearance from Akane". I also noticed the voice actress for Akane was different from KGNE. Personally, I liked the original voice better. That's just my personal preference though. Last edited by Mr. Shabaz; 2004-11-29 at 17:17. |
