The first six episodes are a masterpiece of comedy with a solid story and good characters, easily surpassing the manga. After episode 6 the original plot ends and the remaining episodes devolve into filler and fan-service. Watch only 1-6 for the real storyline; everything beyond is optional. The ...

Akikan deserves praise for its completely original concept of transforming soda cans into magical girls and subverting typical harem anime character tropes with a perverted protagonist and tsundere love interest. However, the show requires viewers to completely shut off their brains to enjoy its ...

The upbeat opening song “Miracle Plan ga Dekichatta!” is the lone redeeming feature of Akikan, whose original premise of cans turning into girls is squandered on a clichéd, poorly executed girl-fighting series. The art is mediocre with unnatural hairstyles and bland colors, the characters are for...

Akikan delivers a wonderfully relaxed, low-pressure experience that leaves you smiling and refreshed—perfect after a draining week. While it's undeniably weird and light on both fanservice and romance, those traits actually help it stay breezy and stress-free. I rank it among my personal favorite...

Akikan earns a nod for its off-beat premise—soda-can-turned-girl—and for giving its cliché harem cast a sliver of growth, plus a handful of drama scenes that actually feel depressing. Yet the story soon loses direction, the comedy barely raises a laugh, the soundtrack is wallpaper, and the whole ...

The art looked pretty good and the premise of drink cans turning into girls was original, but the story didn't make much sense and seemed random throughout. The main character was a complete moron, the fighting between cans felt pointless, and the ending made no sense. This was a very disappointi...

In this fantasy comedy, Daichi Kakeru is the high school student hero. He's sixteen, a virgin, collects limited edition juice and soda cans as a hobby and has a dream of being able to find the woman of his dreams to live with and have sex with on a constant basis. I Hope You Don't watch This Anim...

It's a sweet anime, it doesn't have a difficult plot. It's just empty can's wich turn into girls.. There's sweet romance & humor, but this doesnt get real serious. It reminds me of Chobits a little, without a real serious part in it. If you like sweet, fun anime's, you should definately watch this.

Come here for the fantasies, not for a revolutionizing experience. Akikan is an anime where each soda can is a guardian to the one who drinks it. This anime is very generic but it does serve its own purpose of fulfilling anyone's twisted fantasies(including mine!). It's hard to go wrong with havi...

Akikan, a show about girls popping out of soda cans. Talk about hating it from the very description. The trick is to know how to translate the symbolisms in these shows. They usually cloak their real meaning with silly premises to make the anime accessible to a wider audience. In this case we hav...

A guy drinks a soda and it suddenly turns into a hot girl! Add in the fact that the guy is a perverted high schooler and throw in a bunch of other akikans and you've got a comedic harem. Sadly, despite my strong initial interest in the great potential that the series could have become, the series...

Please note for this review that I began the series under the assumption that this was technically a magical girl series. With the above information, I would like to point out that this will not factor into the show's review; I will be judging it primarily as a romance story. To start with, the p...

The sound effects are surprisingly well-done and keep the show from becoming dull, and the mainstream art is acceptable for an advert tie-in. Unfortunately, the story offers nothing to feel or remember, the characters lack any special spark, and too many details about them are skipped. I personal...

Akikan! offers a weirdly enjoyable experience with its uniquely bizarre premise of "cangirl" warfare and decent animation, though the characters remain fairly developed without needing extensive depth. The story suffers from shallow content, noticeable plot holes, and loose ends that prevent it f...

Akikan surprisingly handles its loneliness theme well, with Melon and Yell's emotional attachments to their owners being genuinely touching, and the Akikan-only episode focusing on household chores stands out as genuinely enjoyable. However, Kakeru is an insufferable main character whose constant...

LOL nobody can say, with a straight face, that they enjoyed this show for the story. I only really like it because the main voice actor (Fukuyama Jun) was one of my ultimate favorites at the time, and also because the opening theme song was kind of a guilty pleasure for me (it's a cute ass song, ...

Part 1 English Part 2 Bahasa Indonesia -------------------------------------- Hello and welcome to another anime review that's about as exciting as watching paint dry. That's right, I'm talking about Akikan, an anime that's about soda cans that turn into girls. Yes, you heard that right. Soda can...
