Mixed Feelings
The main sell of Acchi Kocchi is its cuteness.
I won’t deny that there are cute scenes but unfortunately I am allergic to cats.
Thus cute cat scenes are not affective for me. I don’t dislike cats but I’ve been conditioned to be cold to cats due to my biological factor.
So the question is what else does this show have for someone who is allergic to the main concept?

Acchi Kocchi format is of a gag show.
I have had many conversations in the past about the lack of progression in gag shows.
My opponents comeback with the argument that if their was more plot than it would ruin the show.
I have not been convinced on that. I don’t see why gag shows still can’t have progression. Even if only a little bit per episode.
There is nothing different in the relationship between Tsumiki and Io from episode 1 to episode 12. It is a shame because they are a nice couple.

Gag shows are also very side character oriented
If the main characters are lacking in progression than it is the side characters that need to step up to keep you entertained.
You don’t get that with Acchi. Besides Mayoi, whom could be argued as the best character in the show, everyone else is rather insignificant.
One is only there to nosebleed, one is just there to be the insignificant second male, and the other three….well there isn’t really anything to say about them.
There isn’t that really annoying character though like the bird in Tamako Market. Acchi Kocchi has that going for it.

My conclusion is that beyond the cute cat moments there isn’t much else here on why it would be advantageous for someone to watch this show.
The characters are average, the story is pretty nonexistent, and the art style does provide some entertainment.
I do like little touches like at the end of the episode it shows off the movement to the next episode like were moving from level to level. That is basically the biggest progression of the show.
My final score would be a 6 out of 10. I’m unsatisfied with the other elements but I can’t find any annoyances or faults to knock the show down to a 5.
If your man motive was a romance anime going into the show, I could see a drop to a 5 though.
