Both are panty-fighter shows, that is, with the heroines dueling each other until their clothes are shredded. Even when the heroines are clothed, the anime directors still insist on showing low-angle panty shots and exposed chests, along with the girls dressed in provocative clothing for their commercial breaks. Both series insist on giving the girls a nickname, a relative ranking (for Freezing), body measurements, weapon names, and special abilities, as if they were selectable characters for a video game. The male protagonist joins a school full of fighting girls, lacking abilities of his own at first, but developing some based on his lineage (from family members  read more

Similarites: Both were set in an all girls school turned coed. Both muchachos (male lead) have lecherous tendencies as well as being losers. Both involves usage of magic and superpowers. Both chiquitas (main female lead) are a year older than the muchchos. Both have the same amount of intense ecchi. Both also has the same harem genre. And, both muchachos (male lead) have special abilities. Dissimilaiities: The lead chiquita in Maken-ki is the muchacho's childhood friend, while in Highschool DxD there is no childhood friend to link the muchacho with. In Highschool DxD the lead chiquita has no problems being naked in front of the muchacho because they maintain a master and slave relationship, while  read more

A single lucky seemingly useless (at the very least; boring, normal and/or plain) guy, gets into a school mainly comprised of beautiful girls that battle one another as part of their school days with super powers. Except IS is more sci-fi, and Maken-Ki is martial arts. Both male protagonists have a harem of girls after his affection without them having to lift a finger; you're typical harem anime.

Lots of girls. One guy. Powers. Action. Fighting. Love. It is almost the same thing except they aren't in school.

The same fighting girls who can kick ass, and the same kind of harem where guy is involve and quite frankly both anime are not for the conservative ones, and it's only for those who are after the entertainment side of it.

Both muchachos (male lead) have chiquitas (female leads) living with them. Both muchachos are nice guys and may look vulnerable, but they can can fight. Both muchachos always have their butts kicked when their chiquitas are pissed. Both have panty shots. One is limited to a three-way harem, while the other one has a two-group harem—one group in the dorm and another in the student council. One muchacho relies on the other chiquita to be his weapon when fighting, while the other has a special ability to fight when push comes to shove. In one anime, it is the harems who come into the muchacho's  read more

report Recommended by mohomerlin
Both have the same shoujo, martial arts, super powers, school, comedy, action and ecchi genre. The difference: Maken-ki: Has an extra romance and harem genre. The guy have special ability in which it has to be put in control otherwise he'll go berserk. It has intense fanservice. Senran Kagura: It has ninja and yuri as it's extra genre. It has one character who seems to be burdensome. Fanservice is only limited to bikini, lingerie and panty shots.

The story is about a guy who enrolls into a previously all girls school that has recently gone co-ed. The students in the school all have some sort of special ability, that they use through Makens. Similarities as far as I can tell between the two are: -Harem (Guy surrounded by girls) -Martial arts -Big breasted main female lead Some dissimilarities and other things are: In one, the male lead is quite strong (OP) while in the other one, the male lead still needs to unlock or learn to use his power/full potential. Maken-ki has more ecchi content than Yoichi

in both the main character is at first weak and then gain a "sacred" or rare power in accel world its his wings and in maken ki its his uncontrollable power. next their patrons both are girls who are widely known and are very powerful, in both animes the girls are in love with the main character.

Romance - Check Jealous Childhood friend - Check Good soundtrack - Check Dissimilarities: Maken-ki has Action and Ecchi as extra genre, Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate is more into the romance and drama genre while Maken-ki is more into Ecchi and Action genre. Though both are quite good ^_^

Panty shots.... oppai.... Awesome Soundtracks ^_^ All girls gather around one guy... Both anime are mostly directed towards male audience (my opinion) but girls can also watch it if they're after the Romance genre thing,

Both have the same ecchi and harem genre, however one was more of martial arts while the other was moire onto scifi, so make your decision if both were worthy of watching since the mods wants such recommendations as presuasive.
