So when I heard of Akebi's Sailor Uniform (Akebi-Chan no Sailor-fuku), I have little interest in watching it as it did not sound that interesting to me. So I end up adding this to my never-ending Plan to Watch list.
I got attracted after viewing the PV. This show has the best animation for an SoL since Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Season 2 (Kobayashi-San Chi no Maid Dragon S) from Summer 2021. I have a very high expectation since it is by CloverWorks, but this just blows it right out of the water. Everything looks so good. The color used, the details of the surrounding. The silkily smooth animation. I was not expecting such a higher production level for just an SoL anime.
======SPOILER AHEAD======
Now for the story. As expected, there isn't much of a storyline or plot. It follows Akebi of her dream of wearing a sailor's uniform. Akebi and her mom were so tunnel-visioned that they were not aware that the dress code for the school had changed. The school granted her permission to continue wearing the sailor's uniform.
After that, the show follows Akebi and her daily school days. Slowly and steadily, she becomes closer to her classmate and friends.
======SPOILER ENDS======
The show does give a similar atmosphere as Non-Non Biyori. Where a group of students attends school in a rural town. . There isn't much drama in this anime, which helps the show to build its atmosphere.
I will give this anime an 8. The animation for this anime is beautiful. It has a slow plot with a chill and relaxing atmosphere, similar to Non-Non Biyori. I will recommend you to watch if you love SoL.
TLDR:
Akebi's sailor uniform is the most beautiful SoL anime I have seen since Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Season 2 (Kobayashi-San Chi no Maid Dragon S). It has a slow plot with a chill and relaxing atmosphere like Non-Non Biyori. I will give this anime an 8 and I will recommend you to watch it if you love SoL
