"What.The.Fuck." ,actually none animes between those I've already seen deserve this expression more then this one.Those three little words will pop in your mind again and again and again during each episode of Akikan.I won't teach you anything ,everyone know that japanese are kind of crazy ,everyone on Internet know that.And if you had some doubt about that fact...Well Akikan is the proof you needed !
Nah really...Cans?...Like...Seriously? Cans transforming into girls? Cans-girls fighting each other in a war for selecting which between aluminium and steel is the best?...As the Dalai-Lama said : "Oh my dayum.".
You know ,I've already watched some really crazy animes and in
...
most of them you need to switch your brain to "OFF" or you'll lose some sanity points like in some Cthulhu rpg.Excell Saga for example...Don't watch it with your brain activated or it's gonna melt and turn into marshmallow.Akikan is one of them ,and it's a good thing that I've already lost all my sanity points because this one can inflict a -50 points immediately !
Let's examine it a little :
Story (7) : Yea ,I give it a 7 even as I say that the story is a big mind fuck.Why? Because it's original ! I have to admit that ,it's stupid ,it's totally "what the fuck" ,but it's original in it's own way.After all ,nobody already had the idea to create Cans-girls.Nobody already had the idea to turn them into fruity magical-girls.Nobody already had the stupid idea to make them fight each other in a kind of battle royal.So that's what I said ,it's original...in it's own way.So yea the story was certainly made when the author was drunk like hell and had more alcohol inside him than a bottle of whisky ,but some masterpieces where made under the effect of absinthe so don't judge the power of alcohol too hardly !...What the fuck am I saying?...Anyway ! 7 because it's totally crazy but original ! It's a good story ,perfect when you want to disconnect your brain ,have a few laugh and watch some cute girls.
Art (6) : The artwork aren't excellent but they aren't ugly.But I'll be honest I've seen better ,really better.And I've seen worst too.This one is in the middle.The characters are kind of normally made ,the girls have some charm ,the colors are not too flashy nor dull.
Sound (5) : Like for the art part ,the sound part is neutral as hell.Not bad ,not good ,nothing exceptional ,nothing awful.
Characters (6) : This time I'll surprise you but nah ,the casting is not classic ! Actually I was surprised by how different some characters were from what I expected from.Like Melon for example.Telling the truth ,I've started watching Akikan imagining it like a clone of Chobbits/DearS/Ah my Goddess ,where a guy normal as hell (and stupid as hell too) get a cute girl out of nowhere and the girl is immediately or so in love for him.And here it's totally...Not that.The guy is stupid ,but he's really perverted (and maybe a little crazy ,this guy spend his time seducing a distributor...) ,and Melon is a little shy ,violent ,kind of tsundere and at the beginning she totally hate him.So yea ,a 6 for the surprise and because the casting is different from usual.
I give a special mention for the character of Amaji Gorou (aka Gigolo) because he's one of the most funny useless character I've seen in an anime.The idea to make him literally invisible in some episodes because everyone don't give a fuck about him ,this is genius :D
Conclusion : You know what? I think that if you really want to enjoy Akikan you need to choose between two options : Disconnecting your brain and watch it zombilishly (Like "Duuuuuuuh....Haha baka...Duuuuuh....Oppai...Duuuuh") ,or watch it drunk like the author was when he imagined it ! And now you'll really appreciate it at full potential I'm sure of that !...Nor you can watch it sober ,but it's less funny...But remember just one thing : Think twice before crushing you cans... :3

I don't really understand what was in the author mind when he did that anime.It's like he started with a story ,a strong story with a big plot and all...And then finally choose to rush over it and turn the anime into a school-life/harem/fanservice one.Not that I'm complaining about that ,I love school-life ,harem and fanservice :3 .But damn...Don't do that like that ! It's like you plan to watch Lord of the Ring for the first time and when you do it it is :
*first hour* "Frodon ,you have to destroy the ring.Go to the Mount Doom and throw it into that damn
...
lava so we can screw Soron !"
*Later* "Hey Frodon ! Wanna go to the pool?" "F-Frodon-chan...I..I lo..Lov" "Waaah ! Frodon-san ,it's so nice that we're all at the beach for the summer break !"
Disturbing right?...Well ,that's more or less the same thing with Kuro Usagi.
During the first episodes it is plot after plot after plot after plot ! Everything go ultra supra fast ! Like "This guy is an enemy ! But finally he's good ! Now he'll help us against this guy ! And now this guy is not really the worst one ! But we have to take care of that one !...Well finally we've deal with that one so let's take care of...Oh already deal with it ,okay...But Aaaah ! Take care of the PROPHECY !!!" And after that..."Oooh pool party ,yay ! Loli-chan ,wait for meeee ! Aaaah the beach is so nice ,let's go swim all together !"...Wait what?!
Okay okay I'll stop it here and I'll try to make it more clear.What I try to say is that this anime is made on the wrong side.Normally on those kind of animes things go that way :
1 - The hero is an idiot ,he's useless ,but he want to grow stronger for protecting his nakama.Childhood friend love him.The new girl love him too.He want to protect both of them and prepare for a hard training.
2 - Plot incoming ! As our hero start to train for becoming stronger ,we have the plot who slowly start to appear.Mysterious enemies slowly show their face and are conspire against the hero because they want something from one of the girl ,but you don't know what or why.
3 - Fanservice time ! Of course ,the plot is in preparation and our hero is in training ,what do we need for making everyone wait and more or less enjoy this waiting? Fan service ! Boobs ,bikini or nude scene where every characters get together at the same place at the same time with no fucking good reason just so we can have a lot of funny ,ecchi scene.
4 - The hero became stronger ,but it's not enough and as he try to protect the so wanted girl ,he fail miserably and the girl is finally taken by the bad guys.So the hero ask X mysterious person for a special training so he can be even more stronger ,but that training contain risk but our hero don't give a fuck about risk so he do it because he want to save the girl !
5 - The hero became even more stronger ,beat the bad guys ,save the girl ,which is about to confess or really confess her love to him.The other girl is jealous and do the same.The hero can't choose between both ,both get angry ,everyone laugh ,the end.
That's how everythings go normally is those kind of anime.But in this one it's the opposite.We start directly with a plot ,and a new one ,and a new one ,and a new one again.First you ear about a dangerous "demon" or so who was linked to Himea.So you think that this one is the bad guy.But at the same time Himea is hunted by a bad guy ,Hinata ,getting out of nowhere like a wild Garen get out of the bushes and start raping everyone wih some creepy god-like magics ,so you think that this one is the main bad guy and that the "demon" you heard about earlier will be the main menace later.And...No.Hinata is the bad guy for one episode ,after he disappear and sometimes make some cameo here and there (Seriously I though it was Stan Lee sometimes.).
Two episodes later ,the "demon" appear.Yea ,so soon.But you learn that it's not a demon but something different linked to Himea.But don't care too much about it because it disappear one episode later and a new plot come in !...Which is over one episode later again.And now you ear about something called Tenma which clearly when the ass of Himea ,lie he really REALLY want it that badly !..But after a little conversation he doesn't care anymore about Himea ,he just care about a Prophecy (Oh god how many time did I heard that word in that anime which never gave any information about it !).And finally ,as you begin to heard about the prophecy more often ,Hinata make a new cameo for saying "Hi ,I know much more about the prophecy than you lol !" than disappear.And now ,they tell you that the prophecy is coming...Everything is ready for that...Everyone is here just as keikaku...And now?...Fanservice time ! O.O No really ,it's totally that.Half of the anime it's "plotting time" and the other half it's "fan service #WeDon'tCareAboutTheStory #Yolo time".So ,my examination :
Story (5) : A lot of mysteries ,a lot of plots ,a lot of questions and...Nothing.The story started greatly and is rushed like hell ,at a point that it's hard to clearly understand everything because it goes just too fast for that.And finally nothing is answered ,the prophecy is coming but apparently nobody care ,the hero go for some training at the end but we don't know why.Everyone wanted Himea but now nobody care about her and we don't know why.So yea ,the story is rushed and confused and it's sad because it had a big potential ,but wasted.
Art (8) : Artwork is great I have to admit it ,the characters are high quality and a special attention was made for the hairs because all girls have multicolor hairs.Special mention for Himea hair who apparently are full of fireflies...That's the only explanation I have about all those white moving spot she have everywhere in her hair !
Sound (6) : Not bad ,not awesome ,it's fair.
Characters (7) : A Useless MC ,a childhood friend ,an immortal vampire witch with fireflies in her hair ,a dark-emo "I-Hate-Everyone" black haired guy ,a loli with a kind of catgirl style (*-*).That's the casting.But I have to say that when I say "Useless MC" I really mean it for this one.On most shonen the MC is useless at the beginning and at the end he's Chuck Norris.But nah ,here he start useless and finish useless ,even as he train he continue to be useless and to be saved by Himea or Emo-boy and his loli.But anyway ,useless MC put aside ,the group is a funny one and go well together so I can't really say that the casting is bad.
Conclusion :...Well...Dear author...The next time...Avoid the plot.Just do a Harem-style anime full of fanservice if it's what you wanted to do.And if not then start and FINISH your story.But don't do both when you plan to only do 12 episodes ,because you can't do both in 12 episodes !...Aaaah.Well...I think that this anime is not really bad ,but it's clearly not an awesome one.Watch it and make your own opinion ,I'm sure some peoples will hate it ,some will love it ,and some like me will be neutral.
PS : Damn ,I sure have talked a lot ,sorry for that and...Waw...You really have read me to this point?...Really?...You sure have time to loose :3

I rarely say that easily but that anime is epic and full of quality ! I've watched the 24 episodes one shot ,eating in front of it ,skipping sleeping hours because each episode end made me have the urge to watch the next one.I've rarely been so much into an anime ,this one is definitely one of my favorite one ! Let's examine it :
Story (8) : The story can sound classical for some peoples ,but for my own I find it original and really interesting.It's about a guy ,the MC ,which inherits the power of an ancient vampire ,a really powerful one.At the beginning
...
the MC was just a normal guy with a normal life ,but that incident totally changed his life.Now he's a vampire with incredible latent powers...and a strong tendency for nose bleeding every time he's a little aroused :3 .Than came a girl who'll change his already not-so-normal life and turn it into an even-more-not-so-normal life...So nice of her...And so it's with that nice duo that the story begin.I'm not gonna tell you everything about the plot of course ,but for me it was a really interesting one.The world itself is interesting with all of those not-human peoples ,that city full of "monsters" living more or less together ,the story is interesting ,the MC progression is nice to follow.Nah really ,that story is excellent.
Art (9) : Perfect.I can't say anything else.The characters are awesomely made ,it's really colored ,actions are really well made and fast paced ,the ecchi scene are...*nosebleed*...Emmm sorry for that.The only little thing which is ,for me ,the little black spot on this pure white canvas (And there is nothing racist in that !) is that the main girl and the MC's little sister really look like the sames.I've spent so much time asking myself "Is she he sister or the other one?" and had so much hard time for differencing them.That's the only thing I can reprove about the chara design.
Sound (8) : Two fucking awesome opening ! If you like rock-like japanese songs than you'll love those opening.The OST of the anime is really great too and feat perfectly with each kind of situation in it.
Characters (8) : A MC that I'm so jealous about because he's a vampire and is surrounded by so cute girls.But he have a lot of style so I half pardon him.The girl MC which look totally like the MC's sister but stay really cute...Even if she often ruin the epicness of some battle with her punchline "No senpai..It's OUR fight !".Oh god ,how many time have I said to myself "Shut up please and let him fight alone this time !".Of course with that duo you will find ,the kind-of childhood friend (which remind me a lot Lucy from fairy tail sometimes) secretly in love for the MC (Aaaah classical ,why are you classical) ,the tsundere (*-*) who often help the MC even if she doesn't do that for him ,it's just a coincidence ,it's clearly not because she like him or something like that ! (How much I love tsun-tsun when they say that with a red blushing face *-*).You'll find a goth-loli sensei too (so cute *-*) who look really close to the MC for some obscur reasons.so yea the characters are many and a lot of them are interesting or touching.
Conclusion : That anime have everything I like.It have action ,it have ecchi ,it have love triangle/harem style love ,it have a strong and interesting plot ,some mysteries ,it have a lot of great combats with flashy powerful attack ,it have vampire and others creatures of all kind.You like those kind of thing? You really like all of those things?...Then why are you still reading me?! Go watch that anime right know and enjoy ,you baka ! >:3

Well ,I'll be totally honest about this anime ,it's one of the biggest deception I had in my otaku life.Why? Is it the story? The characters? The art? No, no and no.Actually all of those point are good ,really.
I know it's bad to spoil in review ,so if you really want to see that anime don't read me.But if you're hesitant please read me because I have to warn you about one thing.
Story : Okay ,I'll admit it ,the story is a cliche.The plot sound different but you'll find all the elements for making a classical shonen.Magic war ,a stupid MC which a big heart
...
,a strong will ,a desire to grow stronger for his friends ,and of course girls ! Girls with big boobs (or kind of) and big crush for this stupid MC (which ,like all the time ,will never understand anything about that and stay dumb like all MC of this type.).But in the big line ,the story is really interesting ,looks like there is a lot of mysteries,factions fighting for power, a love triangle ,a new magic war is coming ,,the big bad boy is finally back with his badass magic of the doom ,a strong rivalry between two brothers lead them to fight and...CLIFFHANGER !! Yeah ! That's exactly how this anime end ,with a fucking cliffhanger.The last episode end with a lot of unanswered questions ,even more questions asked and nothing.It end.Like that.That's all.What? Want to know what the fuck happened? Who's really that big bad guy? Why all those plots around the two brothers?You really want to know that?...Me too.
Art : The chara design is ,for me ,really nice and pleasant.It's colored ,warm ,well animated ,the characters are nicely done ,the fighting scene are fast paced and dynamic.Yeah ,I think that the art is the best part of this anime.
Sound : The opening is not really my cup of tea but it's a nice song.The anime ost is ,for it's own ,pretty good I think ,some great songs are put in the backgrounds sometimes ,turning some classical scene into something a little more epic/dramatic.
Characters : Classic ,cliche ,seen again and again...But for my own I never turn tired of this kind of characters.The MC is ,as usual ,stupid but have a strong will like I said ,it's the perfect Shonen hero type.You have the childhood friend secretly in love for this idiot ,the new girl without which all the anime can't start and which will fall in love for this idiot too (turning it into the classical love triangle) and the MC useless ,but funny ,best friend.Add in the middle of that a black haired dark-emo big brother with dark ice power, a loli who actually...Well I don't know what she's doing here really but I don't care ,I love loli ! ..Emmm ,a badass with badass power of the doom of the death (I'm sure this one made some 13yo little boys erect for his power).Anyway ! Cliche ,but nicely done ,so it's not a bad character choice.
Enjoyment : Well...How can I explain the pain?...This anime have 12 episodes.Yeah...12...Just 12.And as I watched the 11 first episodes I was totally in the story ,I was like "Oh god !" "Awesome !" "Wait what?..." "So it was...Oh god it is !" and all.The story was awesome ,the plot catch me episode after episode ,questions started to form in my head.I wanted to know about that and that and that.I have watched the full series in one shot.Spend a full night for that but I watched it.And finally I came to the episode 12.And at the end of this episode I was like "What.The.Fuck.".Why? Because it's not an ending episode ,it's just a normal episode ending with a cliffhanger ! I've searched for an episode 13 or a season 2 ,or an OAV.But no ,it's over at 12 ,and 12 end with no answers ,new questions ,a big mind fuck and ,for my own ,a strong feeling of disappointment and...a sensation that I've lost a night doing nothing.
Conclusion : Take care watching it ,it's interesting but it's a totally unfinished anime with a not-ended plot.
