Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku

Ever since she was young, Komichi Akebi has always adored sailor uniforms, even going so far as to ask her mother to sew one if she succeeds in getting into her mother's alma mater, Roubai Academy. And thus, when she gets accepted into the prestigious school, Komichi is ecstatic. However, much to her surprise, the middle school no longer uses sailor uniforms as its dress code—making Komichi stand out from her schoolmates. Despite this, Komichi is granted permission to continue wearing the traditional attire.

With renewed confidence, Komichi meets fascinating classmates as they experience school life together. Under the colorful shower of blossoming prospects, an exciting tomorrow awaits them!

Let me start by saying this series isn't going to be for everyone. There's no huge dramas, no super-tangled romances, no hidden dark plot. This series is purely a celebration of youth, and the joy there-off. Our protaganist is a young girl full of energy and a go-get-em attitude who enjoys being who she is and is excited for the future and to see new things others are interested in. She has a happy family life with a cute as a button younger sister who is just TOTES adorable and a caring mother. Her father is obviously often absent for work ... but still obviously a loving and loved part of the family.

The story revolves around life at a new all girls school, and the other people who go there. The animation is .. quirky at times, at first I was slightly disconcerted by some of the art, but it works with the energy and grows on you.

The voice acting is on point and whoever does our MC's voice perfectly captures the energy of a happy young lady in joyful circumstances. Part of the joy of the series is seeing how her contagious energy affects those around her, and also brings them slightly out of their shells to enjoy life.

This is simply a feel-good-slice-of-life series. And as such will not be for everyone. But if you want something as a great palate cleanser between the gritty/action/drama stuff. Or just feel like something to bring a little upbeat joy into your life, you can do a lot worse than this series.

Justaguy recommends if this is a style that you think would appeal to you.

As usual, your mileage may vary.

Mixed Feelings

"A lot of quality wasted"

Pack your backpack e be ready for best time of your life, full of joy and fun; is that how people remember their days of school? hard would be one experience that doesn't share their bad days as a student, and that's something "Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku" should've treated too.

The anime is beautiful; really beautiful, extremely gourgeous, artstyle and soundtrack is the two aspects that impresses for the detail excellence, the ambient is perfect craved, and that will make the viewer discomfortable at some point, the excess distracts and make it difficult to connect with the world, the magic is on the ... moments viewers are deserved of beauty, if everything is wonderful at all time, nothing is trully a highlight, but the hobbies kinda benefits from that. Art here is a spectacle of simbolism and meaning, sports are thrilling and what is strength when overcoming limitations and frustations, winning or losing, every hobbie is well described, how hard is to start something new that brings joy and satisfaction in the end, and how time and dedication is the only way of improving your skills, and every girl on the show helps reinforce the ideia of learning at your own pace.

In classroom there's a lot of diversity, every girl have their own unique interests, but they took "diversity" quite literal and took one important dinamic of sharing common interests, there are too many characters and subjects, decreasing everything and everyone would help the entire anime feels more fleshed out, and somehow, they trying to use "Akebi" to compensate it, poor one who's the star of the show but ends up serving as a narrative tool so the cast has a reason develop their own arcs and conflicts, has sacrificed her own development to be a solutions for the girls, in the last episode when she could feel like her own character, "Erika" walks in and takes all the spolight. The cast has a severe consistency problem, there is no time for everyone, so much good characters who basically don't come out of scratches, it would need a least three separately shows to accommodate ideally all this characters.


The anime is quite fun being just a thing on screen, it does have a lot of variety and a lot to offer as a distraction, but it can't be taken serious, if you do, you will get out frustated and unsatisfied.

"Muita qualidade que é um desperdício"

Arrume a sua mochila e se prepare para os melhores momentos da sua vida, cheio de alegria e diversão; será que é assim que as pessoas se lembram dos seus dias de escola? Difícil seria uma experiencia sequer que não tivesse passado por maus bocados no seu tempo de estudante, e "Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku" deveria ter tratado disso também.

O anime é lindo; muito lindo; extremamente lindo, a arte e a trilha sonora são os dois aspectos que impressionam pela excelência nos detalhes, todo o ambiente é prefeitamente esculpido, e quem assiste com certeza vai se sentir desconfortável em algum momento, o exagero distraí e dificulta o sentimento de querer se conectar com esse mundo, a magia está nos momentos ideais em que o telespectador se sente merecedor do belo, se tudo é maravilhoso a todo tempo, nada se destaca de verdade, no entanto os passatempos se beneficiaram com isso. A forma como a arte é expressa é um verdadeiro espetáculo de simbolismo e significado, os esportes são emocionantes e o que é a força de superar as limitações e frustações nas vitórias e derrotas, toda atividade é muito bem descrita, as dificuldades de se começar algo novo e a satisfação e alegria de conseguir conquistar os objetivos, e de como a dedicação e tempo é a única maneira de aperfeiçoar as suas destrezas, e cada garota fortalece esse conceito de cada um aprender no seu próprio passo.

Nessa turma a gente encontra bastante diversidade, cada garota tem seu interesse único, mas a diversidade foi levada tão ao pé da letra que tirou uma dinâmica essecial de se compartilhar os mesmos interesses, existe personagens e assuntos demais, reduzir tudo e todos ajudaria a tornar o show mais interessante, e de alguma forma, acabaram usando a "Akebi" para tentar compensar isso, a coitada que é a estrela do show acaba apenas servindo como uma ferramenta narrativa para que o elenco possa desenvolver seus próprios arcos e conflitos, sacrificando seu desenvolvimento para ser a solução aos problemas das outras garotas, no último episódio em que ela pode se dedicar ao seu próprio personagem, "Erika" entrou e roubou merecidamente todo o holofote pra sí. O elenco tem um grave problema de continuidade, não há tempo suficiente para ninguém, uma pena ver tantos personagens bons não saírem basicamente do rascunho, seria preciso no mínimo três shows separados para acomodar todos esses personagens de forma ideal.

Esse show diverte quando não se tem nada para assistir, tem tantas propostas e variedade que serve muito bem como fundo ou distração, mas não da para se levar à sério, se escolher investir no enredo vai sair daqui frustado e insastisfeito.

Not Recommended

so, i have a VERY strong opinion about something shown multiple times in this anime,

i felt like there was a little bit of sexualization going on, now that im thinking about it, there definitely was.

for example, when her and her LITTLE SISTER, were in the bath, we didn’t see anything, but i felt it was just it there not just to show us them having a good conversation with each other but also to…excite the people watching…

which, sexualizing MINORS IS NOT OKAY, anime or not it’s just fucking weird. as a lady, the sexualization completely ruined the show for me.

i mean, it was in ... every episode almost.

i would check the comments on the episodes and all i would read was creepy men commenting about how akebis little sister was so “fucking adorable”, get off the internet please, that’s a child. you’re weird.

like in the shot in episode 8 minute 12:02, there was a girls ass in the screen, mind you she’s a minor as well and grown men are watching this show.

(from what i’ve read on the comments, most of the men are openly admitting they are in their 20s-30s.)

other than the sexualization along with what could be considered some fetishizes, the show was fine.

the animation was very pretty,

though, the previous thing i listed caused my rating to drop to a 5.
