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 who died prior to the series). Takeru in Maken-ki does not have a primary romantic interest but he attracts the same types of harem characters including a cold-hearted beauty with extraordinary powers (Himegami) and a childhood friend who latches onto him and who makes the others jealous (Inaho). The girls mainly fight each other but later they ally to support each other as they get involved with rival organizations with characters from around the world (Team Venus) and the over-arching conglomerate called the Kamigari who act as an antagonist. Maken-ki does have guys that also fight and have special powers. Freezing is also centered about a bunch of school girls fighting, but there are more guys in the background as support characters, but outside of Kazuya and Arthur, they stay in the background. The main guy Kazuya is fairly useless at the start of the series, but stays loyal to the tsundere heroine Satellizer, while attracting the affections of a second girl Rana, who coincidentally uses hand-to-hand combat and hardened gauntlets like Minaho. He later develops some inherent abilities that surprise the staff, while Satellizer also shows an extraordinary ability to learn and develop her abilities. The other girls initially serve as rivals; like Maken-ki, they come from all over the world, and would later become allies for the common cause. Some of the authority figures from both the student body as well as alumni teachers are heavily involved in the series (Yumi and Elise in comparison to Minori and Aki). The faculty even get their own prequel series (Freezing: Zero) although Maken-ki’s prequel is much shorter, barely lasting a few chapters. The graduates join an organization called the Chevalier to defend the world from oncoming invaders, but the organization itself is suspect. Freezing is more violent as girls lose their limbs and get stabbed a lot, with explanations that they can regenerate them later. Both series came out around the same time in both manga and anime form, and have been dubbed by Funimation, although it is interesting that some of the voice actors have disguised themselves under aliases for one of the series and not both. They both come in censored and uncensored formats. read more

Both series contain plenty of action, ecchi, drama, comedy, and later some emotional moments. Both series' protagonists' lives are thrown into a world that they've never known before and meets other characters of various personalities. Both series involves action with supernatural elements beyond the capacities of our world.

The girls takes a strange interest to the male protagonist. Ecchi fanservice and panty shots Both background stories took place in a specialised school of certain technology/magic abilities. Male protagonist falls down a lot. And while falling down they will grab important. One of them will be sticky to the protagonist, one is a tsundere, and one will be shy. Girls tear each other’s clothes while fighting.

lots of fanservice and pretty girls fightning each other, although maken-ki is not a good anime that is actually worth watching, unless you're searching for an anime with lots of pantyshots and oppai

Similarities: - Ecchis, the girls have an exaggerated breast size and there are a lot of excessive fan service influenced scenes. - Both academy's specialise in fighting with weapons (Maken and Volt Weapon) - The male protagonist just wants to protect those around him. - The male protagonist is also the centre of attention by girls. - Both contain comedy, ecchi and action. - Both contain supernatural advancements of technology. Dissimilarities: - The protagonist in Freezing is stronger and also has a more dramatic life. - Freezing's plot is more plot orientated but it is still held back by the fan service. - The students in Freezing work as a collective read more
