Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien and Akane Maniax
Darn, I must have been a fool. I didn’t even notice that Akane Maniax was related somewhat to Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien, THE top rated anime series on animenfo.com at the moment (and actually for quite sometime already).
I have only seen two episodes of Akane Maniax so far, but given that it is only a 3-episode OVA in the first place, I think that’s okay. Actually, I should have seen it in the name, Akane Maniax’s alternative name is Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien Gaiden (where Gaiden means “side story” in English). Here’s are the old KGNE characters in Akane Maniax:
But that’s where most of the similarity ends because Akane Maniax introduced a new character, Gouda Jouji, into the mix. He’s the straightforward, out-spoken (very…), and kind-off dumb type of guy that falls in love with Akane at first sight.
So there begins the Gouda’s chase of Akane, which is of course, not welcomed at all (most especially by Akane), at least at first. This is because Gouda’s persistence and willingness to change just for her finally reaches Akane.
What happens after that? No idea since I haven’t watched the 3rd episode of Akane Maniax yet. But so far, Akane Maniax has been nothing spectacular. In any case, I wouldn’t say that it was comparable to KGNE because it wasn’t meant to be.
So, that’s my take on it. Until next time.
