It seems like a very common thing for mangaka to start out doing hentai and then eventually start making more mainstream works, usually starting slow and tentative with material that's still close to hentai. The fact that he's gotten a TV show suggests this guy might have the necessary success to fully leave the 18+ realm. I'd still like him better if he didn't have such a thing for absurdly massive breasts though...

I'd forgotten about Takeru's connection. If, as I said, Himegami is what remains of the great Orochi, or a part of it, then what does that say of Takeru? She connected him with her elder brother, so I see three real possibilities:
1) Orochi was split into multiple bodies, and thus Takeru and Himegami are parts of a whole.
2) There wasn't just one Orochi, and thus both are incarnations of sibling snakes.
3) The series draws a few alterations to ancient myths, and Takeru is a reincarnation of Susa-no-Ou, the heroic man-god who slew Orochi (and if so, within this series, Orochi's brother(bit of creative license with the myth)).

Finally things are moving.

How many episodes for this anime ?

Tenchi Ryu · 2011-12-09, 13:21

So now I'm confused.....I could have sworn that Himegami liked Takeru...but its as if she doesn't in this episode. And yea, this season was ok, but it didn't really GRAB me like other shows, its like nothing has really happened all season.

Pretty sure this will be done after the Venus arc.

ookamigirl · 2011-12-10, 06:59

Summer break.
Lots of fan service this time..
The fight part was nice.
At lest Takeru is improving his skills.

Tempest35 · 2011-12-11, 00:42

Well, Himegami is far different from the other Maken users in that, if my memory serves me, she really doesn't have a Maken that we've seen, but she uses vast amounts of Element for her power(s) and...other 'things'.

And Himegami isn't really interested in Takeru romantically, at least she acts/claims as such. She and Takeru have a connection that will never go away due to their 'relative' power, but she remains aloof because of the other girls. That kiss, however, begs to have her current thoughts about Takeru's true worth to her re-evaluated.

Edit:

"Kami-o! Why art thou such a jerk!?"

"WHAT WAS THAT!?"

"Ka-Kami-sama...?"

Made my day

Midonin · 2011-12-15, 12:31

Maken-ki 11 - Very Yes

The setup for the finale came pretty abruptly, but this episode certainly didn't let up on the fanservice. And Takeru finally got a Maken he can understand and control. That's a good step forward. So many scenes during the maid cafe antics stand out, with my favorites being Kodama's odd spelling on the rice, and the "milk" scene. Looking forward to what the finale brings, to see if it can tie everything together well enough.

ookamigirl · 2011-12-16, 02:21

So Takeru finally knows his maken now, about time too.
The maid cafe was interesting...
Their clumsiness was epic.
The ending was pretty good.

-Sho- · 2011-12-16, 10:33

Not surprising , the show is rushed. Happy ending for Haru next.

Master_Yoma · 2011-12-16, 22:12

All those maids all that fanservice and now that is a line I havent seen Haruko breasts in a while

So the training camp is going to be the OVA then

serenade_beta · 2011-12-20, 20:27

Spoiler for final thoughts:

Midonin · 2011-12-22, 12:35

Maken-ki 12 - Colored Pink

That finale felt like it came a bit out of left field, but if last week embodied the fanservice, this week embodied the fighting. Overall, the series was entertaining, and I'm okay with that. The character designs did stand out in the season, and the fanservice, while constant, was mostly pretty tasteful. Not a bad watch.

EroKing · 2011-12-22, 13:15

lol the last few minutes, it was like a damn commercial for the academy

Tenchi Ryu · 2011-12-22, 15:13

Final Episode and series review

Definitely the best episode, love it when the harem MC gets some kind of huge powr up to make him less weak, love it even better when they get a uncontrollable berserk type power...makes the dynamic of trying to save him pretty interesting. The final episodes were good, it just took to long to finally get the show moving. Would look forward to a season 2 if it appears.

7/10

Johnny · 2011-12-22, 17:43

Just caught up with all the episodes. Great show for fan service, but it butchered the source way too much to make the show anything more enjoyable then just, "Wow, look at all those big titties..."

Patriot's Blade · 2011-12-23, 06:45

is it just me? that the hole on the back of Takeru's shirt caused by the maken impact just disappears in one frame?

-Sho- · 2011-12-23, 10:06

Well the show was good for some eyes-candy. See it again maybe.

Master_Yoma · 2011-12-23, 22:08

Sigh the ending sucks it just didnt fit at all

6/10 if it wasnt for the fanservice this would of sucked

Anime-fan10 · 2011-12-23, 23:16

I just watched the last episode I must say, I was disappointed. The anime felt rushed and I didn't like the way they ended it. I can see how the creators left room for a second season, but regardless, that ending didn't motivate me to watch an upcoming season. The anime didn't have a strong plot and in terms of character development, almost all of them were the same as they were from the first episode. Sure, the fanservice was great, but w/o a strong plot, the anime fell short. I'm not sure if I'll watch another season if there is one...

ookamigirl · 2011-12-24, 11:40

Final episode was better than the rest of the episodes.
Guess they could have made a better job with this anime.
Takeru's character was more a pervert than a fighter.
It could have been better..

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for final thoughts: I don't know... How should I word it... That it sucked? Or That it did good being the sucky fanservice anime of the season? Anyways, it was pretty bad. It wasn't even "stupid" good like Rio, because this anime's story and everything was just... badly done. Himegami was fine though. So, uh, 5/10? It might be a bit high, but it had a few fun moments. Maybe. __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.
