About this show

Takeru enrolls in Tenbi Academy—an all-girl school that just went co-ed—with dreams of being smothered by chicks. To his surprise, it's actually a school where teens beef up their combat skills using a magic power called a Maken. Distracted by all the bouncy brawlers, Takeru gets himself in a sticky situation—the hornball can't figure out how to use his Maken!

Overall not the greatest, but I've seen worse too. I would still watch season 2 if available here. It always seems to get really good when it hits that point when seeing boobs or panty shots is appreciated, but doesn't make the protagonist entirely lose their mind. Don't get me wrong, the fan service is nice, but not as entertaining when it becomes the focal point of each scene again and again. Season 1 seems to end right at that point.

It's an awesome anime if you're looking for a before-bed harem. I wouldn't say it's an anime for everyone, but it's worth giving it a shot if you're not sure.

FUNimation is my favorite anime network! My favorite shows are High school DXD, The Dragon Ball Series, One Piece, and Samurai Champloo! Looks like I can find a spot for MAKEN-KI!
