THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Calling this the best new members intro episode of the series. From here on things will be amazing! There is far more people now around and finally may I cry out like a girl? KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA VENUS ARC! The best arc of fights! For one just the following,

was amazing for a fight between Demitra and Haruko. They will end the anime with this arc or an episode after the aftermath.

Finally Takeru gets his Maken-Ki. Finally!

I hope this will not spoil anything but just in case
More later.

BTW Image Stitches are done in the spoiler
good shots of Demitra and Yin.

I got some GIFs done in the BLOG:

mainly the stupid ass intros of the Venus team because my other program did not want to stitch them.

Celia is a genderbending trap don't let her girly-girl childishness fool you. I nearly fell for Celia too, she/he has nice tits and the personality of Inaho. It's about time he got his Maken-Ki.

Reel and Airiru are very cute, I want both of them.

Celia? I don't remind myself but I do know we both got moon Moed by the Finian sisters. Those 2, they better make a bath part if they want to put more loli fan service in this series. Well this will be much more authentic considering Himegami appears mature more than loli.

They also changed the pool to volleyball, which is bad for girls considering they could have seen Kodai in speedo moreover we could see some wet action with possibly more censoring but then again it's way more appealing the wet shirt fan service. Manyuu demonstrated that rather well TBH.

There's still room for a lot of ecchi, btw those intermissions are racy as hell, pussy censors are reoccurring, not good, it will be censored in BDs as well.

I don't think so and the censors are there due to risky content but if it does not show totally then it looks to be alright and I saw panties around that part. So it's just more than usual. You can see in the spoiler
they are not totally down.

By Celia you mean? Here are the list of members:
Mercenary Venus Unit Commander: Akaya Kodai
Mercenary Venus Unit Special Investigators: Aililu Finian (Blonde girl) Lilu Finian (Black Haired girl)
Mercenary Venus Unit Vice-Commander: Demitra Mideiya
Mercenary Venus Unit Defense member: Shiria Ootsuka (Idol/Pink hair)
Mercenary Venus Unit Special Attack member: Yan Min
You must mean Shiria right?

The saiya shoulder design is a bit too lame for me.It look like breast pad Shoulder pad lol.

The volley ball match remind me of kungfu soccer T.T...

I thought this episode will show MC's true power, but it seems it doesn't.

Definitely been a minute since we've had such a strong episode of Maken Ki like this week's episode. Everything moved very well, and perfectly put comedy, drama and action in the right places.

Loved how these girls were like the threat and enemies, but Takeru "saving" that girl instantly put him on their A-list.....that was hilarious....I need to try that lol

I like how the match started with hard nipples.
I also liked when Haruko's bloomers tightened around her virtues. <3

They ruined yet another event which could have been a yummy episode. Instead we got a lame volleyball match. Also have to curse the damn plot armor on their bra's and panties...


BTW, how about using spoiler tags for those above spoiling certain elements of the manga that aren't known in the anime yet...?

I really like those two loli twins introduced this episode, and Syria aint half bad either. Yeah, im a sucker for loli's and cute looking pink haired girls...

Reviving Yamato No Orochi and an evil orginasation? Sounds interesting to me...

So Venus joins Maken-ki and even more characters are introduced. Things are going to get even more interesting and ecchi here. Akaya is awesome with his poses haha. Shiria is cool.

These girls just changed the meaning of volleyball for me.

Himegami in her cheer leading outfit? Pure win.

Now this is was an interesting episode. Could have done without the recap of what happened to takeru at the beginning and had more match, but it was fairly good. And the harem competition has thickened. Yae.

But I loled. did Takeru really mean to save Syria? When he screamed it sounded like it was Haruko


(Note subs on the version I watched Call Celia Syria? Which is correct I wonder.)

OK, since nobody noticed I'll say it
The match should've ended in Maken-ki's win.. why ?
when the score was 14-14, Venus team served the ball to the roof, which is a fault
that makes the score 15-14 in Maken-ki's favor
and then they got another point so the match should've ended 16-14

THIS!
As far as i know too, if you hit the roof the other team wins the point.

Too many characters, but both the plot and the narrative, have nothing of inviting and even new characters, they can raise the havoc far shown.
Too trivial and similar.
The drawings and animations in this TV version are decidedly mediocre in quality.

An alright episode, we got a bunch of new characters introduced. Too many stills in that volleyball game though, lazy animation :P

That was one strange episode. "Transfer students" (that strongly smell of villain) join the academy. Of course they're immediately at odds with Maken-Ki. They choose to duel. Winner essentially gets control over the other until the transfer students have to leave. They decide to settle things via a volleyball match. As with any sports game featuring people with supernatural powers, it didn't stay normal for long. And by the end, the "volleyball" part of "volleyball match" had been completely forgotten. The only things that really survived the match was everyone's underclothes. So... new, fishy-smelling classmates and an out of control volleyball match. That's pretty much all of episode seven.
