As other reviews already stated, Akibas Trip is basically a hit & miss for every single episode (apart from the first and the last 2-3 ones I guess).
Overall -
If you are into otaku / nerd stuff, give it a try.. you might like it. If you are only in for the romance, you can watch the first 1-2 episodes and then skip to episode 10.
I was a bit unsure because of the rather low 6.70 rating, but I actually quite liked it. There definitely are worse ways to spend your time.
Story & Content -
Most of the episodes don't follow a big story / plot, instead they are small stories, known from e.g. Rick & Morty. The whole show itself is pretty lightweight, and focuses big time on paroding different otaku/nerd stuff each time.. which is the hit & miss part about it, might be you find yourself laughing your ass off at one episode and being bored on the next one.
There is an action aspect to it, which isn't badly made, although the protagonists never have any real struggles when fighting the opponents, so it's rather some extra sugar on top.
The final few episodes are the actual plot of the story, nothing spectacular and pretty straight forward, but if you watch this show for a deep story you're in the wrong place anyway.
There is also romance to it, to the point that I don't get why this show doesn't have a romance tag.. after all, there are many shows out there labelled as romance with way less romantic content in it. There are 4 kiss scenes throughout the show (although 2 of them can hardly count because of the circumstances), a date episode and an ending which leaves no doubt.
Art -
The art style itself is okay, nothing fancy but not bad either, pretty much the average modern anime art style. The art style sometimes seems lazy (considering scenes with crowds like a concert), but it doesn't bother much either. And for some characters they obviously wanted to make them look ridiculous, as to push the parody even further.
Character -
Just like for the story, the show doesn't care about having deep characters. They have some backstory you get to see, and their behavior is pretty understandable and consistent, so no issue here.
