Maken-Ki! Battling Venus

Purely useless, and in the case of a program, completely annoying fetish based shots. If you like to stare at panties get a girl friend who likes you staring at, or sniffing hers. Really, totally immature. But if it's how you swing, power to ya, just keep it in your room. K?I love a good anime, but clothing that constantly falls off like its made of paper, and cameras that always seem to find themselves under the skirt line... That convenient wind that always blows up the skirt that's always been to shirt to begin with... The anime would really be, just fine without them. We get that stuff happens, we get that yes sometimes there is a stiff wind and that yes sometimes clothes might very well be lost in a fight. But then, there is also usually a lot of blood, and lost arms. If there's going to torn clothing there should also be ripped flesh and missing limbs.   See 11 other replies

"There is no such thing as too many panty shots!."--Adam Blade, "Needless."
Kadakowa videos has a reputation for fan service overkill. There are even uncensored shots of topless lolis in "Strike Witches."   See 11 other replies

I give the art work a 4/5 because I've seen better and I could draw this better myself if I actually felt like doing so.
the story had to much ecchi aka panty/bra nudity shots it was overkill similar to what they did sadily, to Rosario+Vampire thus ruining the plot in an almost identical fashion
the plot and story deviate to much to actually get the point across
Also the sexist development between the male and female characters was something that digusited me The males where displayed as being nothing but patheticly weak, being brainless, & perverted and the overpowered sexist hate twords the males the females displayed was actually very annoying and demeaning not to mention the completely useless close ups of undergaurments totally took away from character development
and the point that as Ruben mentioned the story takes to long to progress the main male charcter Takeru was nothing but talk and never accomplished anything he said he would. the plot is rushed within the 12 episodes the useless filler episodes take up time that could of been used to actually progress something remotely close to an actual plotline
I give this anime a 2.8/10
only because the artwork was redemable and some the side characters were likeable   See 3 other replies
