That was a fun laid back episode, I liked it. And pertaining to the whole slice of life-ness, I wonder if Akikans need to take shits.

Haha, I gotta say, I really enjoyed this episode for some reason, Maybe because there was few human interaction to screw it up xD Either that or because there was pretty much no Kakeru in this episode. Gosh he is so annoying xD But anyways, this episode had it's cute moments. It was very natural, but in a comical way :)

Hot summer day : ) Melon is taking cold bath, Budoko is sleeping (and cat is trying to tease her !) And she was so pretty when she had straight hair and not twintails ! And her playing was funny to watch. And Yell cleaning the house ~~

Naah, nothing special happened here but... watchable :/


what! watchable. mb if you fastforward the entire thing. the only thing i was able to semi deal with was melon. budoko sleeping was soooooooo fun. and yell chasing a dragonfly....AWESOME....

Filler. Yell part was the most interesting, but the episode was average. Some funny moments and lots of cats ^_^

This episode was slice-of-life filler to the extreme! Can't really say anything good about it. I mean I got the message they were trying to get across: women are supposed to do laundry. j/k. There was some butt and cleavage shots... Yeah, I got nothing.

Akikan for caffeinated beverages probably do. I know after I drink a high caffeine beverage I have mad squirts like whoa.

I really enjoyed this episode. Dare I say, the best episode. I almost forget the dumb concept for this series: aluminum vs. stell cans. It was a very laid back episode and sometimes the chilled way is the best way and I'm gonna have to say that Akikan is on of those series. I thought the Budoko part was cute though. She's such a little kid.

An easy going episode, but quite a fun one actually with the focus on the cans rather than the other characters!

A predictably mix bag of reactions to this episode, but I certainly fell on the side of enjoying it, especially as I was just thinking to myself how ironic it is that Yell is named Yell, yet is the single least Tsun character in the whole show apart from Misaki.

I have to say that a slice-of-life episode was the last thing I expected, but once I settled into it, there was a lot to enjoy, with the little echoes of across the 'hidden life of akikans', like the counting aspect.

Most of all though, I think this cemented my opinion that Akikan is a good show, with some very solid characterisation behind it. In many ways a SoL episode can be quite risky for a show that has previously relied on over the top over-reaction comedy and a quick pace. It always begs the questions - is there actually anything to the characters, or do they just service the plot? Turns out the answer is, yes, there actually is a proper conceptualisation of who each akikan is, because everything that happens in that SoL episode feels simultaneously like it fits perfectly, yet slightly extends our understanding of who each of them is.
