Gigolo's attire was a little strange... why would you dress like that anyways?!
This episode sorta felt like an ending episode for the series, although we all know that there's 6 more ep's. It had a good ending. Too bad there wasn't any Budoko TT_TT. I don't think that she could even compete against Melon-chan or Yell. Yay, Yell's going to school.

Well, now will be "After Story Arc" :D
I was afraid they shortened the series, but thank God they didn't.
In this ep was everything good anime requires, everything but "I love you" said face to face... But it will happen in 12th ep, I hope.

Gigolo's pyjama already had me thinking "what the hell?!" and then suddenly Yurika comes flying along on a broom with a witch outfit o_O.

Still, I enjoy to watch this series :)

awesome episode, suprising amount of emotional depth.

this anime started out just 100% ecchi, comedy but the drama is slowly creeping in.

It makes you appreciate the good ones even more.

I liked the fact that they had the fight in a big stadium, that has to be a first in anime. That being said, I don't understand how this story has a manga, an anime and Mamiko Noto, it's so incredibly generic.

O THE DRAMAZ!1!11!11!!!1

Seriously though, what the fuck? I was strangely amused by this episode largely due to Gigolo's pajamas and the fact Yuriri really is a witch. This would have made a great ending episode too, but sadly we're only half way through. Maybe the second half will pick up.

Well, I learned a few things in this episode. Gigolo is, in fact, twenty different kinds of closet perv, something the writers are sure to capitalize on. And Najimi has an aversion to sticking with decisions.

Kakeru's baldfaced dirty jokes continue to amuse. Although, to be fair, every day is a good day to "fornicate outdoors".

Good episode, it was ENTERTAINING and humorous just as Akikan has been from episode one.

I'm pretty sure the PJ's Gigolo was wearing were his sisters :x yuck.

lol @ her being a witch.


lol @ Kakerus insensitivity in stealing his bike. Reminds me of when he pulled Melon's earrings and shoved her back in the cupboard.

Disagree strongly that it is one of the worst.

As for Shakugan no Shana, It is one of my favorites lol. Don't use that example!! :( lol jk

However, there is no chance in hell that this anime is worse than this and last years animes. Get over yourself.

hmm... unique? Did you know what exactly the director tried to achieve with this show? Shounen? MahouShoujo? Drama? Rozen Maiden? Comedy? Yuri?

As for SnS, I agreed that there is a certain tsundere that was annoying as hell. And there was 3 clones of her in 3 different anime. They all have the same face and midget. If you want their name, I can tell you that. But SnS is not a horrible anime, only 20 out of 24 episodes are close to unwatchable, that's all.

Yeah, I nominate Rosario Vampire for that award, though this certainly comes close. I'll probably end up flipping a coin at the end of the series to determine which I reward that title with.

I thought this episode really lacked what made the previous 5 so entertaining. Here we saw way too much cheese and way too few amusing encounters. However, I'll let it slide for a while as I thought the first 5 episodes were so refreshing.

Why does it mean that... the reason being is there are no other animes that have a can that turns into a girl when they are kissed. There are "cliches" in every genre or anything else for that matter, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. As long as it's entertaining and not a complete rip off of another anime it is a unique take of the genre. Onto your second point you raised, I never said being unique made it popular. I have however said that Shounen Romance/Comedies are a popular genre and are meant to entertain, not be some groundbreaking revolutionary storyline with incredible depth.

AKIKAN IS FUN.

Anyone who wants something more serious shouldn't be watching this.

lol you call that "superpower"? have you ever seen bleach, naruto, one piece or DBZ? THAT is superpower. This is more like above average power...

But i liked this episode all in all, blood and emotions and fighting, and thats all you really need, although i actually thought that kakerus guts was gonna spill, seeing that he got cut pretty damned deep

also good to see that melon has awesome medical skills even though she is a can who has no previous knowledge of the outside world, i mean she mustve have stitched kakeru up aswell otherwise the bleeding wouldnt have stopped and the wound would the still be completely open. But seeing that he could run around and swing a homerun she mustve done a pretty good job :p

I know this anime is bad just by looking at it's animation and the general plot, but it still makes me laugh, and that's a huge redeeming quality (along with Mamiko Noto). I hope the people who come in here to bitch about how bad this anime is just stop watching now since this episode could be perceived as an ending ep based on the ED.

Wow this was hilarious. I have never seen such a bad episode in my life. Atleast Rosario has decent animation, this episode had pretty bad animation throughout(there were some very specific scenes that were mediocre but this was pretty bad). The plot is just LOL at this point. Melon contradicted herself with the she wants the owner to give her directions but she wants him to stay away and Najimi needs to stick with a decision. As someone stated earlier, this is making Rosario and Yozakura look like a masterpiece last season.

Wasn't Akikan tried to be serious itself and left the comedy part?

I think we might call this "kitchen sink" anime. I.e., they throw in everything but the kitchen sink, and hope that they have hit enough hot-button fetishes to pull in viewers.

Quite a few anime really can't find their focus. Kuroshitsuji, for example, spreads itself too thinly between horror, comedy, and erotica. The result entertains me, but it's not something that really impresses me.

Akikan is a notch below Kuroshitsuji, but I doubt that it has as much budget, so daijoubu.

I think Mamiko Noto is tired of doing "hell girl" and she's trying to use her "hell girl" voice in as many animes as possible so that people get tired of it and allow her to develop a new voice.

This episode's ending seemed to be a good chance for people to drop Akikan.

Episode was not really the best one so far, but it had some interesting moments.

This anime is pretty bad in most aspects, I agree, but I had several good laughs from it the last few episodes. Why should I complain when I am entertained?
