Back when 8-bit added nipples to the blu-rays of Infinite Stratos, many considered it to be a pleasant surprise. After all, Infinite Stratos had a strong brand, great animation, appealing character designs, and while the action was average at best, the humor usually hit the mark, at least for those who can stomach harem series.
Maken-Ki Two! is back and this time they didn’t skimp on the senseless fanservice. Yes, this might have been yet another filler type episode, but in this go around the fanservice made this episode feel like time well spent.
It’s a nice video at least, and given the current trends in anime I’m not sure how many more high budget Ikkitousen styled series we’re going to get in the near future, so I’m trying to enjoy shows like these while I still can.
ARMS delivers martial arts combat with nude fanservice yet again complete with high production values.
As far as Nyatto! goes, it’s one of those super-ecchi manga where every third page has nudity, similar to series like Kagaku na Yatsura. It also has plenty of cat-girl action. Good stuff.
I actually don’t know anything about this manga. It has plenty of boobs though.
Another ho-hum episode of ImoCho without any nudity potential.
Another sports drama manga with plenty of pointless fanservice from Kouji Seo. Though his art style is not far removed from average, I really like his relatively chiseled character design style and how he draws for nudity. The girls may look mostly the same, but they are usually pretty hot.
The other day I was doing random research for a blog writeup when I stumbled across an interesting factoid: the guy who directed the original Maken-Ki! series also directed the second, third, and fourth seasons of Ikkitousen. That was pretty surprising, given the huge difference in art styles.
Yet another fully self-contained episode which (as far as I know) deviates from the manga, called “filler” for short. This time a mysterious force from Inaho’s cat turns all the girls at school into catgirls.
