Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku

Ever since she was young, Komichi Akebi has always adored sailor uniforms, even going so far as to ask her mother to sew one if she succeeds in getting into her mother's alma mater, Roubai Academy. And thus, when she gets accepted into the prestigious school, Komichi is ecstatic. However, much to her surprise, the middle school no longer uses sailor uniforms as its dress code—making Komichi stand out from her schoolmates. Despite this, Komichi is granted permission to continue wearing the traditional attire.

With renewed confidence, Komichi meets fascinating classmates as they experience school life together. Under the colorful shower of blossoming prospects, an exciting tomorrow awaits them!

Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku it's just a story from a countryside girl that dreams about using a sailor uniform. Is it good though? My answer is... Yes.

Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku animation it's just beautiful. Even though they develop the characters little by little the main focus is Akebi in her uniform. But for having such effort to develop them, it add something for the story. The effort it's not in vain.

The consistency it's a great point in the anime, they really did a great job. There a few things you need to know before trying it.

It's a slow paced anime centered around a little girly brat and ... her daily life with a sailor uniform. The show it's enjoyable but the narrative can be boring to some people. Keep that in mind if you wanna watch it.

I've enjoyed, so I recommend it.

Mixed Feelings

This "cute girls doing cute things" anime was absolutely amazing, from start to finish. The animations were top notch and among the top quality I've seen, anywhere. The world this anime draws you into is beautiful, and leaves you wishing you could live in that world when you run out of episodes. After this anime ended, I just kind of sat there, not wanting to start anything else for the time being because it would ruin the mood.

This anime is also flawed. Well, "flawed" isn't maybe the best word for it. It's ambiguously fanservicey in a way that's ambiguously inappropriate.

Akebi ... is a middle school girl who wants to wear her sailor uniform to school and make lots of friends. She's an outgoing, friendly, lovely, and beautiful young girl who spends all her time at school making friends with her classmates, learning more about them, and helping them to overcome issues. She doesn't do that by heavy-handedly trying to psychoanalyze them, she just... is their friend, and it's her friendship that's healing to them. Her world is bright and beautiful, the music is amazing, everything about this anime is beautiful and lovely and cheerful, and if it weren't for one thing, it would be absolutely perfect.

It's an anime about friendship, and the healing power of friendship.

It's also got an amazing amount of highly specific fanservice.

The thing about this anime is that the fanservice is ambiguous. There's nothing about it that pops out at you, and you'll say "that was awful, I'm not watching this!". No, it's far more subtle than that. Two people can look at the same fanservice and take two completely different interpretations from it, one a lot more wholesome than the other. This wouldn't be a problem except this appears to be absolutely deliberate. It pulls right up to the line, and only just *barely* crosses it, if at all. In fact, it's almost masterful how well they sidle right up to that line. Even after watching all twelve episodes and enjoying the *heck* out of it, I wasn't exactly sure how to feel about it. Did I just watch a wholesome anime that celebrates friendship, adolescence and femininity, or did I watch a fetishistic, fanservicey mess that focuses on thirteen or fourteen year old middle school girls? The truth is, I *still* am not quite sure which of those I watched. Because it's so ambiguous, I decided to choose the more wholesome interpretation, but I don't blame anyone for, well, not.

It's actually rather a shame, because without these elements it would be a far better anime. It also wouldn't have the same beautiful atmosphere as it currently does because some of these quasi-innocent elements are core to the personality of this anime.

This was an amazing anime. It really was. It's beautiful, it's well made, the world it creates and pulls you into is bright, happy, and cheerful. And it left me feeling this really weird combination of "iyashikeied" and a bit unsettled.

To this day, I still don't know if it's Yuri. And that, right there, encapsulates the ambiguity that pretty much defines this anime.

So, for that reason, even though I personally rated it highly, I'm rating this "mixed feelings", because it's polarizing. Either you see it as containing implied quasi-innocent adolescent exploration, or as fetishizing early teenage girls. I can't predict which you'll take away from it. So... watch at your own risk, but if you can set all that aside, this is an absolutely beautiful anime that you won't regret watching.

Not Recommended

so, i have a VERY strong opinion about something shown multiple times in this anime,

i felt like there was a little bit of sexualization going on, now that im thinking about it, there definitely was.

for example, when her and her LITTLE SISTER, were in the bath, we didn’t see anything, but i felt it was just it there not just to show us them having a good conversation with each other but also to…excite the people watching…

which, sexualizing MINORS IS NOT OKAY, anime or not it’s just fucking weird. as a lady, the sexualization completely ruined the show for me.

i mean, it was in ... every episode almost.

i would check the comments on the episodes and all i would read was creepy men commenting about how akebis little sister was so “fucking adorable”, get off the internet please, that’s a child. you’re weird.

like in the shot in episode 8 minute 12:02, there was a girls ass in the screen, mind you she’s a minor as well and grown men are watching this show.

(from what i’ve read on the comments, most of the men are openly admitting they are in their 20s-30s.)

other than the sexualization along with what could be considered some fetishizes, the show was fine.

the animation was very pretty,

though, the previous thing i listed caused my rating to drop to a 5.
