Cloverworks here decided to bring perhaps the best showcasing of vibrant and poignant aesthetics for the entire year, and it's nice to know that most of the staff that did the OG Idolmaster series is involved in this project. The production value should stay consistent for the most part, I'd hope. However, here's where I stop being positive. I'm not a fan of some of the character designs. Why does her eyes need to look so big? These exaggerated designs are more liable to look off-model during certain parts, which happened a few times during this premiere.

As for the fundamentals of the series itself, it's basic level at best. Extremely uninteresting, as I can't really buy into the main girl's motivation (or rather de-motivation). May I also mention how pissed off I am that her annoying little sister shares the same voice as Frederica from 86? Sure there will be nice SoL vibes to it along with the kino animation quality, but not much more to say about it. A similar case like with the Demon Slayer anime, sadly. Doesn't help that the manga material wasn't interesting, either.

The animation is gorgeous as expected, but I don't like how sometimes the faces go off with some extremely unnatural shapes, and I don't mean the artistic style but the ones beyond that because of the need to keep the anatomy consistent. The story seems simple and sweet, hope that it doesn't become a chore, the awkward moments were really good though

The art style and animation is insanely beautiful. I love the family and how the story gives us reality. We either get 6 below anime this season or something like this which has 8 above score. This is truly one of the most beautiful shows this season. I'll give this a 10/10 for now so I can mark the anime which is great this season. Can't wait to watch this every week!

Visually it's beautiful. Like really really beautiful. Every frame looks like it's own piece of art. Which must have been painful for the animators since this is one of three shows that CloverWorks is doing this season. Story-wise idk if I can watch a full season. It's a little too slow and the fact she's the only one in sailor uniform is triggering my second-hand embarrassment really heavily, even if she's made the decision and is fine with being different. Overall though it's a really good episode of a show I probably won't finish.

That's right, one of the differences between the production team of Akebi-chan no Sailor Fuku which are ex-A-1 Pictures Kōenji Studio's animators and the youth team that Umehara Shōta brought on Sono Bisque Doll was indeed "experiences," and it's only natural that Akebi-chan's animations & graphics can be more detailed than Sono Bisque Doll.

Talking about "a combination of CGI and handdrawing animation," as also expressed here, as also raised by P.A. Works in Shiroi Suna no Aquatope, actually this technique doesn't so foreign to idol/music anime fans, at the same time actually one of the more difficult animation techniques. Maybe, because of demands from planners and producers who want to equalize the quality of manga and anime for Akebi-chan (because Akebi-chan's manga is already known as one of the manga(s) with so-high art quality), So, the animator team working on it is also more senior (especially some of them have experience in the Idolmaster series, idol/music anime(s) that has good quality after Love Live series, something that is still difficult to match the quality for other animation studios).

I haven't gotten any information about VA from Akebi-chan's imouto myself, but I also feel a voice similar to Frederica from Eighty Six 😅

EDITED: That's right, the seiyuu are the same, Akebi-chan's little sister and Eighty Six's Frederica. It's Kuno Misaki-san.

well sheesh this sure looked pretty (though the bodies look a little bit odd it must be trying to invoke the manga's art style ) and at first i was thinking it was done by wit when i saw that still shot it looked as detailed as viviy's stills


but not realizing it was cloverworks has me worried for all the other shows they are working on


as for the show it's self the plot was in the name and i feel like i have no clue what this is gonna be about since she got her uniform

Okay, now the title of the series makes a lot of sense xD.

With that title, synopsis and trailer I didn't know what to expect but having already seen the first episode I have to say that I loved it. The art is gorgeous, the animation stunning and it has such lovable characters that I can't wait to see more!

And it gave me some good laughs too. Starting with Akebi's athletic display that ends up soaking wet, Akebi's sister's slap, and of course, the girl smelling her freshly used nail clippers... and then Akebi smelling her own foot lmao. By the way, I could recognize Sora Amamiya as Erika but she certainly sounds a bit different which is nice.

Also. Feet: The Animation... not that I'm complaining lol.

uohhh middle schooler feet, etc. I wonder if sewing as a craft/hobby will continue to play a role, as it's something I'm interested in. Basically, I'm just wondering how having the "topic" of this show being the sailor uniform will play out over 12 episodes.

Random point, I actually prefer blazer uniforms over sailor uniforms.

First of all, the animation was so damn beautiful, I loved it.

Komichi is a pretty wholesome and cute, I like her.


I liked the way their home atmosphere was presented, all happy and wholesome. Komichi's mom is pretty nice and the imouto is just too damn precious <3.

aww look how she's hugging her oneechan


The episode had many funny and cute scenes but this one stood out LMAO. I never thought I would ever see something like this.


All in all our MC seems like a pretty good person, she's hardworker, sympathetic, kind and really cool (quoting her imouto), I'm already liking her a lot to the point where I shed a few tears when I saw Komichi looking so happy after wearing her sailor uniform for the first time.

Haha I just want her to make lots of friends now and be happy xDD

The ED was pretty great too.

Overall, loved this epsiode, enjoyed the fuck outta it, every second was fun and interesting to watch. Gonna rate it 9/10 already coz I loved it. I hope the same quality is maintained throughout all episodes, this definitely has anime of the season potential for me.

Also I would like to add that I'm getting a little bit of Komi can't communicate vibes and I can't believe I'm saying this but I think I like this one better than Komi can't communicate lol.

They put a lot of care into the animation, the anime will be a feast for the eyes. The story was the usual "the genki girl is a little different but wants to fit in a new social milieu" but that is not necessarily a problem, what sells a story somtime is that how it is told not necesserily that what they are trying to tell us. What I didn't like so much was that they made the countyside an idealized version of the european landscape, and by that I don't mean the alpine backgrounds in itself because in Japan too there are alpine like mountain ranges (and that gives a clue where the story could be set) but what I have problem with were the european style houses dotting that landscape looking like they have popped out of fairy-tales and that made it seem that it was set in Switzerland and not in Japan. I am a sucker for the japanese countyside aesthetics, the more wabi sabi it is the better, but aside from the japanese inner garden that Akebi-Chan's house had there were so little that give out the atmosphere I like so much, design-wise it was more like I was watching an european cartoon (sprinkled with cherry blossoms and paddy fields). I get it that that is for a japanese viewer an idealized version of the world but it is not necessarily the same for the european viewer. The exteriror design of the school was authentic in a sense that the elit schools sometime copy the western architecture, and the interiors were those that are typicaly shown in anime, so that was fine with me... but I am rambling here. My point is if the main selling point of the anime is the visuals make it to be more authenticly japanese with less western influence. BTW if they put the same care into the next episodes it will be a fun series to watch.

The animation looked really good, although I wasn't a fan of the way the side profiles looked. The very initial premise was fine in my opinion, but about half-way through the episode it started to get stupider and turned into some kind of fetish pandering showcase.

LMAO is literally the funniest thing about the entire episode, the slap in the butt, that's why it's there, by your logic pratically any scene in the episode didn't need to be included since it doesn't "affect the story", also why you're trying to make the scene looks weird? it's the little sister slapping her older sister out of frustration, it doesn't have any other meaning behind it, what being or not underage has to to do with the scene? lol

But this is literally a series about a gentle teenage girl who is obsessed with a fetish of clothes and constantly gets into erotic positions. What did they expect?


It's not that they're expectations where not met they just don't see any of it as erotic. You can see an example of this in the "Am I the only one?" thread. You'll see tones of people arguing that there was nothing erotic about this episode and there are people on other websites who have seemingly read the manga and talking about how it's not erotic what so ever. It's honestly interesting to watch, I wonder how long the denial is going to last for some.


I have a feeling that some people either consider erotica to be borderline porn, or refuse to consider something lewd if there is no man there

- Girl decided that she wants to enroll in the school just so she can wear a sailor uniform but doesn't even bother to check their actual uniform, like is she blind or something she must have visited the school at least twice if not more and seen their students in blazers.
- During her interview she specifically mentions that she chose the school because she wanted to wear a sailor uniform but no one bothers telling the truth.
- Then they allow her to continue wearing the sailor uniform because she didn't know and seemed excited to wear one

Logic 10/10

I hope she gets bullied, watching her getting bullied will be so satisfying and enjoyable.

Omg I just cant belive my eye right now.Like this is pure happiness.First when i heard one of my most favourite manga will be adapt to anime.First i was overflow with joy but then i started to get worry beacause Akebi is one of the most beautiful manga ,have one of the most unique character that i love and adore so much.I worry the studio cant not handle this especially i was affraid that they will use 3D animation forr Akebi movement but when i watch the first episode.I feel like the firrst time i read the manga again.I fell in love with akebi with roubai with the countryside and the senery once again.And i wass so freaking happy almost tear up when i see how passion cloverwork when they animate akebi movement instead of using 3D which will destroy everything.I never felt so happy in my life like for real i actully tear up.I know i jusst sensitive but cmon looking you favourite series be adapt withh such passion and love who wouldnt be emotional.Execllent job cloverwork.I should have never doubted you.

I can see were you’re coming from in this point, and I completely get it. I can imagine people laughing at the scene, and I totally understand why. It just that when I first saw it, I went “Oh man they actually did that..”. What I’m trying to say is that I can see why people would find it funny, I just personally didn’t really find it that funny.

Another one I'm diving into without knowing anything about it, and... am pleasantly surprised once again by cloverworks. Sure there are issues surrounding the studio but at the end of the day, they have some real dang pretty animation.

I like the idea of her having her school uniform home made by her mother, and a sailor outfit no less, which is like the best kind of uniform. I'm ready for more good feels. Wonder egg fell on its face, but I feel cloverworks truly are going to deliver with their three projects airing in the same season.

Oh and I guess these guys really like feet

Was always interested in the manga, but I haven't started it yet. All I know is, the art is fantastic and I think the anime is doing a great job replicating the manga's artstyle. Really looking forward to the next episode.

This is almost kind of boring IMO. The animation is great! But I want the girls too flirt much more. The little lesbians should be all over each other,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

Then to be fair it's only one episode in and the girls have just met. So hopefully, the Yuri will increase in upcoming episodes

I think they are so fucking adorable together, there were even some cute blushing. I think they are in love,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

I like the woman with glasses when she interviews Akebi and when Akebi wears "wrong?" uniform with her mom. I am weak against what you call "Megane girl". Even she's "NPC?", shes cute.

Anyway, is this idol genre? or just admiring how cool they are? The first minute is just a teasing then... okay.

Akebi wears the wrong uniform for the Opening Ceremony. Her mom didn't check the schedule and The school forgot to inform them. Miscommunication is too high, ending with Akebi embarrassing herself. it's for the plot I see. I mean, a blazer uniform is the first thing the school sends to new students for a formal dress code. You definitely will not miss it, even if you didn't check or were not informed.

Nail cut sound is a fetish? I didn't know that. nailcutgasm? lol.

Overall, its a cute anime? some people might be grossed about the last scene. But its still cute. lol.
Yay!

What is this cinema quality Animation? Cloverworks is killing it so far this season and honestly, I personally really loved how gorgeous looking the landscaping was done in Non Non Biyori, but this.... THIS is on a whole new level. Absolutely breathtaking!

I love Komichi's and her family already. Her imouto is really cute and you can easily tell they really get along well. Her mum is, well... what can I say, Hanazawa bringing another mother character to live, like she does best!!!

Interesting setting though. Komichi will be the only student in a sailor uniform. Komichi already made a friend and not in the most usual ways of doing so. Erika on first glance is a bit of weirdo and the amount of detail that went into her clipping her nails and sniffing at the nail clipper was a little over the top.

Another fantastic premiere and I am curious to see where the show wants to go from here. Looking forward to this one a lot.

Great episode! Very warming/cute(?) show and the character designs look very nice also! Akebi's sister is very cute xD. I can only imagine the embarrassment she felt when she realised she wasn't supposed to wear a sailor uniform to school but in the end, she decided to keep wearing it as her mother made her it. It looks really nice!

Looking forward to the next episode!
