you can skip this one to be honest I tried to keep this as spoiler free as possible overall score: 4 Story: Hobbies are often a great way of meeting new people but how could Kakeru Diachi who collects rare juice cans have ever suspected that hed meet a fascinating new girl when he attempted to DRINK her? Naming her Melon because shes got great melon... soda Kakeru quickly learns that shes an Akikana beautiful girl whos also a special can created to fight other Akikans in a strange experiment to determine what kind of container is better: steel or aluminum Will becoming involved in this ridiculously twisted research project gone amuck complicate Kakerus life incredibly? Of course it will but because Melons steel body needs carbon dioxide to breathe hes now stuck with her since shes too CO2 dependent And when his wealthy attractive best childhood friend Najimi gets HER own aluminum Akikan the trouble really begins taken from anilist Honestly this anime was such a disappointment for me. The premise seems pretty original cans turn into girls its definitely something i had not seen before however they just turned it into a clich girl fighting series. It was incredibly badly executed completely ignoring most of its premise. Art: The art style is pretty mediocre its not bad but it could be way better. Some of the hairstyles look really unnatural and the designs dont feel very original. The colors are quite bland and the action scenes dont have enough motion. Sound: The opening of the series Miracle Plan ga Dekichatta by Charmmy Queenmatches the show well enough but doesnt particularly stand out it is however one of the series more redeeming features. Its an upbeat and happy song I actually didnt really like the ending song it felt like it was a bit all over the place and I personally didnt 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 didnt get anywhere enough development and almost all the characters fell into their typical arche 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 didnt really enjoy akikan that much It took me a long time to finish the show and I actually felt relieved when it was finished i found myself becoming bored so frequently and in my opinion the only bad show is a boring one. It had a few sweet romance moment but i felt like that was the only thing keeping this entire series afloat Overall: Akikan is a bundle of wasted originality and typical personalities. The characters are bland and forgettable and have next to no development. I wouldnt recommend this show personally but i wish everyone who gives it a chance regardless a better viewing experience than the one that i had.
