Funny ending episode. The endcome of the showdown was quite predictable, but Miku's owner being a cat. Haha, I laughed out loud ^_^

Yay, the crappy graphics are back. My, this was ridiculously bad. Even the cat-joke was imo wasted.

I gave it 5/10, but 4 would have been more suiting.

It was predictable that the owner of that girl (Miku) was a cat.

This must be like the most ridiculous anime I've ever seen, but at the same time it was really fun and entertaining to watch so based on purely the enjoyment factor I'll give this a 6/10 :P

As for the episode, it was pretty hilarious and it had me either laughing because of some joke or the "drama" accompanied by the "dramatic" classical music score XD.

Not half bad, episode 11 was obviously better but a decent conclusion to the series. Season two pls LOL?

Anyway, 9/10 series overall. I stand by this. It was that good.

A shame this and the other ones from this season are over because the Romance/Comedies for next season don't look promising.

Errr, I think I'm suffering from a little bit of Post-Akikan depression :P

It was an OK anime, tho i suppose it would fit the japanese taste maybe a lot more then us. Ending was funny and I expected it wasn't gonna be a epic fight and more a long the lines of using love or feelings or whatever. I'd rate it a low 7, mainly because of graphics and all that.

That was fun and it was a fun ending too. Awesome that Miku Hatsune sang the ED, wished it was just her though. Gave it 8/10, the animation could have been better. On to the OVA.

Cat joke was pretty funny, but what about that one guy in the alleyway?

Decent ending. Exceeded my expectations, given episode 11, by a little bit. I think it's a solid 8, not going up or down either way. Now for the OVA.

Well, the ending was less formulaic than I expected, and therefore, better. Didn't like the cat joke, and I wish there had been more Gigolo in the end.

should have kept the show just plain ridiculous and stupid rather than bringing in these emotions called love IMO.

i could have done without the last 3 episodes (ESPECIALLY #10). Was pretty hilarious up until then =/

otoya was really funny in this episode, like whne he got back yell's and budoko's cans.
funniest part was kakaeru trying to get miku to join him, and melon and najimi both start beating the crap out of him, rofl!

I gave it a 6. There quite a few enjoyable momments. The art and ani was cheap, but there was some talent to the writting. Looking back, I didn't get to vote "I loved it" in any epi. but I did Vote "I like it" in most part.

If it had been any less entertaining, It would have hit the dropped list. I finished it cause I wanted to see it, Not just to be a completist.

The show was relatively crap. It was a good ride and a bit of enjoyments. A bit of LOL moments and more. 5? maybe a bit too harsh. I am bias cuz i never expected anything much ever since watching the first 5 minutes of the first ep, but I would give it a 6 for making me laugh and even finishing the series lol. Teh manga maybe better not sure, but it an ova comes out..... I may watch it XD

It was a mediocre ending to a mediocre anime. This whole anime was okay, there was nothing special about it. The concept was cool, but in the end, the didn't even took the akikan elect seriously. They barely even battle...lol

I ended up giving it 6/10...just for the lol factor.

I'd like to say people unjustifiably ripping it and being sheep is funny, but it truly isn't.

Within the realms of it's genre, it deserves nothing less than an eight and would have got closer to it if people who don't enjoy romance/comedies of this nature didn't vote on it. Anything below a seven is laughable imo for fans of this genre. Below a six is just plain ungrateful.

There was nothing that wrong with Akikan, it was entertaining.

Some of the bullshit reasons for hating on it that are given are beyond saving.

For example:

"It was a mediocre ending to a mediocre anime. This whole anime was okay, there was nothing special about it."

Would anyone like to point out how contradictory that is? lol.

Some of you guys are just all rubbishing on this series for the fun of it yet you say you enjoyed watching it? It is sad.

Anyway I enjoyed it and that's what matters. Definitely in my top 20 if there was such a thing. I think people here who enjoyed it need to not listen to anyone else and take from this series what you will. It had it's entertaining and strong points.

Can't wait for the OVA.

I liked this series actually, i like they went back to a comedic flare instead of complete seriousness like episode 11.
it gets a 8/10 for me, and i see people rating this low, but saying whoever gives it a decent rating is "dumb?" everyone has their own opinion. one man's junk is another's treasure..
terrible reference but whatever.
TBH Budoko's voice annoyed the hell out of me.

This series really gave a face to "so bad it's good" IMO. The first half of it was by far the better one, the second part would have benefited from more of Kakeru's pervertedness and stupidness, eg. the wooden horse and the chair stuff.

At best this was a 9, but in the end it went downwards, so a weak 8/10 from me.

This was ok for the comical weirdness, but the show never went anywhere and as a result never got anywhere.

I can't picture it on dvd so enjoy the subs I don't see anything else happening.
While not technically anime, currently I am a big fan of Hatsune Miku.
At least I can go see her in concert.

I would give it a 6/10.
Random comedy moments here and there, despite the bad animation quality.
But there could have been better plot development; the idea was creative, but sadly it wasn't developed on. Will give the manga a look.

[Saitei] has. You can find the torrent on this page:

http://www.tokyotosho.com/search.php?terms=akikan&type=0

Did anybody else notice how they show Budoku at before she is even supposed to be released from her can?! LOL.

Eh, overall I'll say 6/10. It was enjoyable at times, but really inconsistant. I think they should have gone all out on the comedy and cut the drama.

I really want to read the Manga though, the art looks so pretty for that ^_^

Best parts of this episode were Kakeru trying to get Miku to join him, the Man's Love comment and comment in the car from Najimi saying Kakeru is always hard and strong.

The series as a whole, the thing that kept me hooked was the perverted jokes, mostly by Kakeru, and Gigolo. And partly Mamiko Noto. This series isn't winning any awards for animation, music or groundbreaking storyling, but it amused me. 6/10, it was fine.

Lol, joke series is a joke. Ending's a joke as well. Cat = owner is "wtf, lol" moment. Misaki + Budoko = Waaaay too underdeveloped (and annoying) for me to care about. Overall premises of the series was what made me stick with it to the end, being as ridiculous as it is.

But still, 6/10, wasn't that bad (bumped it up a point after reflecting on how ridiculous it actually was). I'll probably end up watching the OVA as well. :-\

Pretty good romance comedy. I gave it a 7/10 since I found it as enjoyable as past romance comedy's (7 = good for the people that are retards and don't read the words next to the score numbers).

Yeah, rating this series a 7 or a 6 is justifiable, but any less and you really have to wonder how you rate your anime... I am a fairly big fan of this genre, so I gave it a 9 because I was intrigued by the whole can materializing into girl thing. Also because Kakeru never failed to deliver the laughs. They did it pretty well in my opinion.
