Oppai anime Maken-Ki has been rescued from its generic character designs and is being resurrected with a new production staff, being directed by XEBEC’s Hiraku Kaneko (Qwaser, Manyuu, and the designer of Cattleya) and with the famously voluptuous character designs of Akio Takami (Kanokon, Ladies vs Butlers! and Upotte!).
The new designs:





The newly staffed anime is so far only confirmed as being a OAD released with volume 11 of the manga in September:

Akio Takami may not be universally familiar by name, but oppai anime fans are almost certainly familiar with his distinctive character designs:





























For comparison, the original 2011 Maken-Ki! anime, now sunk without trace, and the original designs:
















ich bitte darum das die fate linien mir bezüglich geändert werden.
absofort möche ich von jeden gstört werden ausser von " probleme?" und "jegliche art von sexueller orientierunger", also keine gays, lesben, etc.
soollte dies all die jahre fälschlicherweise falsch ausgeführt worden sein, dann entschuldige ich dies natürlich.
Oh thank god. Will the main character still be so painfully useless, retarded, and utterly stupid looking though?
Have you watched the whole series? I don't know about the manga, because I have not read it, but in the anime he does quite a bit and protects the girls. I liked him and the series overall.
He's like Emiya Shirou but utterly useless.
i miss old Maken, but OPPA KANOKAN STYLE!!! :-D
oppa(i)*
Ooh sexy lady!
I hope it doesn't get censored.
trololo
oh you
well I hope it doesn't get censored, but It will I just jope they don't over do it with the censors like they did with a certain anime.
Time for another fap session.
I know what I'll be fapping to for a while.
i allways wonder how people analyse "sexual tendencies" in real life. unless they are shown .....
isnt it just prejudice and first impressions?
opionated facts gathered from your magazines ?
giggity giggity goo
Are you fucking kidding me?!
i dont know about you guys....but i watch it for the PLOT ....
i swear!
i watched for the girls' personalities
Not gonna lie, i watch it for the tits and ass
I commend you for your honesty.
Plot:- a term in recent nomenclature, referring to the backside of ponies, frequently used by brony subhuman-culture.
So, you like horsebutts.
Yes, we like you.
but that's wrong
I swear I've read that comment before...

Oppai quality at it's finest
Cattleya <3
Hiraku Kaneko is the GOD of ecchi!
This could be good. I liked the first Maken ki anime. I liked Kanokon and Ladies Vs. Butlers too, but I didn't care too much for the faces.
From generic harem art style in to generic moe/fanservice art style, old art style was better.
+1 I don't like this style in Maken Ki.
hooray, now they have been bereft of noses.
lol
Noses are a small price to pay for the deliciousness we get in return...
LWB oh yes xd
...I had to go back and look to realize this. My attention was preoccupied at the time.
>hating on Takeda Hiromitsu designs
for shame, admin
for shame
Oh, for the love of!.. Another mindless fanservice instead of more 12 episodes for Maoyuu Maou Yuusha... Does this stiptease gives such good sales?
You say that as if the same person had the power to EITHER release this anime or Maoyuu Maou Yuusha...
"Who does this Anime fellow think he is, giving us more Maken-Ki instead of more of my beloved Maoyuu Mao Yuusha which basically just ended it's first season?"
You are not exactly correct. What I was trying to say is that the amount work and time invested into creating this anime, which, as people jokingly say, shall be watched for "the plot", could have been used to create another 12 episodes of Maoyuu Maou Yuusha, which, in turn, has a very good plot without quotations. I also afraid there won't be a second season of Maoyuu any time because, since, as it seems, it wasn't that popular (and by popularity I mean good sales). And yet we receive a second season of a wimpy-wishy-washy-hero-harem-fanservice anime, the first season of which, as far as I remember, was not very popular either. Another thing, I personally get the feeling that there has been way too much fanservice in the anime industry. And if fanservice animes are in demand by the majority of Japanese viewers, then it's a very sad and negative tendency. Or maybe the studio is having financial and/or management troubles. Remeber what happened to Gonzo, which made two seasons of Rosario+Vampire, stuffed it with mountains of fanservice and went bankrupt afterwards.

lol
I hate anime like this.
Giant tits do nothing for me. I like them pert and perky.
That is very interesting.
As long as it still has the detailed crotch shots, I am fine with this. I have my doubts though...
wasnt the anime done in the same art style as the manga though?
its kinda insulting to the guy who wrote and illustrated it by calling his art style generic
what is the the admin's standard for generic because a lot of anime that dont have out there styles like Aku no Hana with is hideous rotoscope or sayonara zetsubo sensei with more of a geometric shapes influencing how the characters are drawn can be considered "generic".
Not really, the ecchi quality did not live up to the standards of the manga at all. Especially when it came to nipples. Thankfully, and as you can see, Hiraku Kaneko does not cut back when it comes to nipple work!
NOPE! I'll go to the Aquarium if I want to see Manatees
I would do such terrible things to the women he creates if given the chance.
Unfortunately, the series is still gonna suck.
“Kanokon” is mistyped in the news’s title…
I didn't see too much a problem with the old design to be honest, but I guess the no-nose design works.
It weird, the one that turned out to be a dude, I actually felt something off about even before I learned was really a guy.
