Maken-ki! #07 — Balls in the Face

November 15th, 2011

 

Bah. GA perfected combat volleyball years ago.

Impressions:

You know, I’m still waiting for characters introduced in the first bloody episode to do anything noteworthy and I have trouble remembering the names of the main cast, but apparently they need more as this episode introduced another half dozen. And yes, I am indeed aware that the one with the pink hair and double Gs secretly has a penis. Now we all are. Hell, the one potentially interesting thing that could have moved this forward was Takeru finally getting his maken, and the first thing they do after giving it to him is totally forget that it exists. Maybe it’s what let him unleash the true scope of his clothing destroying power at the end, although as usual, the damage to the clothing itself was a tad confusing. How exactly did that explosion tear up the back of his pants and shirt but only barely touch the front? 

I guess Maken-ki gets the edge this week in the 2011 Autumn Tuesdays Contest of Stupidity for Inaho’s desperate need for a sports bra. Why should the animators let things like the female anatomy or gravity compromise their artistic vision of a cheerleader jumping and having her breasts smack herself in the chin? But really, neither brought enough lack-of-brain to qualify this week. Let’s just call it a draw and forget today existed.

    This is the Freezing of Autumn 2011.
    God save our minds.

  • shadow says:

    Freezing has the best combats f/f with weapons
    It fights are a joke.

  • shadow says:

    But freezing is best, here the girls only playing to fight

  • jingoi says:

    Good thing I didn’t start imagining things about the pink haired girl, helps I’m thinking about Hikencho and not watching this until BD release.

  • Albedo says:

    The never really go back to giving a crap about his Maken in the manga either from what I read. It’s not really about the Maken either… It’s just T&A with some random explosions off in the distances and every once and a while some character decides to pick up a house.

  • MR.KLAC says:

    don’t compare to freezing give that was bit more action, blood, arm ripped, & mamiko noto.

    as for maken-ki well it got seiyu of himeko (kannazuki no miko), kuu (shattered angels), & nymph with sohara as the principal.
