Review of Akikan!

overall score : 4 Story: Kakeru daichi is a boy who collects rare juice cans, when he bought a brand new one to add to his collection hell be in for quite a surprise. As he tries to drink his new can it turns into a girl. Melon one of the akikan who is destined to fight other akikans Honestly this anime was such a disappointment for me. The premise seems pretty original, cans turn into girls, however they just turned it into a cliché girl fighting series. It was incredibly badly executed completely ignoring most of its premise. Art: The art style is pretty mediocre its not bad butit could be way better. Some of the hairstyles look really unnatural and the designs don’t feel very original. The colours are quite bland and the action scenes don’t have enough motion.

Sound:

The opening of the series Miracle Plan ga Dekichatta! by Charmmy Queenmatches the show well enough but doesn’t particulary stand out, it is however one of the series more redeeming features. Its an upbeat and happy song

I actually didn’t really like the ending song, it felt like it was a bit all over the place, and I personally didn’t really connect to it. It did however match the show well especially with its title Juicy Extacy by Little non

Character:

Honestly the characters to me were very bland , and not very memorable. They didn’t get anywhere enough development and almost all the characters fell into their typical types.

Melon the main heroine I actually found to be quite annoying especially in the beginning later on in the show her personality improved somewhat but not to a redeeming degree.

Enjoyment :

I didn’t really enjoy akikan that much, It took me a long time to finish the show and I actually felt relieved when it was finished

Overall:

Akikan is a bundle of wasted originality and typical personalities. The characters are bland and forgettable and have next to no development. I wouldn’t recommend this show personally
