Akikan 1
Just watched the early broadcast of Akikan, it turned out to contain less fanservice than what was initially expected. The story goes somewhere along the line of a student named Kakeru Daichi’s akikan (empty can) transforming into a girl. He eventually names it Melon.
The animation was neither amazing nor horrible, but is close to the negative extreme. All the characters except the guy from the ministry looked weird, the faces are likely at fault. Unfortunately, they are now imprinted in my head, I’ll have a hard time trying to get rid of them.
The plot was not clearly established in the first episode, several questions were left unanswered, for example the motive of the Ministry; which more or less explains what the plot of Akikan. Though viewers are unable to understand the main complication in Akikan, the show is humorous to a certain extent with its sexual references and jokes.
Though the show has its fair share of comedy, it is much predictable that it would have equal portions of fanservice, or manservice in the case of the first episode. All these in addition to a light plot simply hold no huge appeal to me, I’ll probably read its manga instead.
