Akikan! (Anime) add (All reviews)
Jan 18, 2009
Preliminary (1/12 eps)
So... I hate fanservice and ecchi...
But this was kinda weird.

I mean, aside from the fact that Jun Fukuyama is staring, and aside from the fact that the perverted old guy is Okiayu Ryoutarou (who played Shigure in Fruits Basket)... it's not half bad.

Actually, the concept of a girl in a can is hilarious... and I really like the idea of someone who doesn't want to just be used and thrown away. It's a very human conception... packed in a can!

Now, I will admit, it gave me some "Saber Marionette J" vibes (what with brightly colored girls and a perverted guy in love with the main male character)... but who knows. I liked SMJ alright, so this is worth a watch to me.

It has terrific seiyuu (which is always my first reason to watch something) and a far more interesting plot-line than alien girls or random chicks falling in love with the same guy. I mean... they come from a can! And they need carbon dioxide! It's so random and yet... perfect for this type of comedy.

If the first episode doesn't leave you thinking, "This is one of the most random animes I've ever seen..." then it may not be for you... but I sure said that about five times before the ending credits rolled.

As a plus... it's got a great OP and ED song...

So yeah, I recommend this... even to people who don't go for the genre. I know I don't.
