Akiba's Trip The Animation

Akiba's Trip: The Animation is what it looks like when a bunch of young, crazy, over-the-top otaku gets the chance to make an anime series for other over-the-top, crazy otaku. At least, that is how it seems to me because this is insane, occasionally amusing, and full of people getting undressed. Since making up reasons for clothes falling off accidentally, and undesirable boobie/hand collisions is boring and corny, they simply declare that the only way to save Akihabara is to merely make people strip down to at least their underwear; when they are attacked by "something". There is actually not much to fault about this show. Like last season's releases such as Hip Whip Girl: Keijo!!!!!! this show just does not mess around and incorporates the ecchi element as a perfectly natural part of the plot. There is simply "If you want them naked, then just go and take it!" Whether that is right or something you are comfortable with, you are going to have to figure it out for yourself. As far as the action goes, it is quite charged, as there is almost always something going on. Sometimes the comedy element comes to the fore; sure, the jokes/humor are wacky; however, there is at least some comedy. For the avid otaku, there are plenty of costumes (you are going to love the blonde character), different ways of speaking using endearing interjections, and of course, the setting itself. So, in my opinion, Akiba's Trip: The Animation, just like last season's already mentioned Hip Whip Girl: Keijo!!!!!!, is once again an anime series where its target audience is obvious, and I am once again kind of out of it. Dropped after the second episode, and it is not that bad (if I rated it, it would be around two-three stars), even though it is nothing for me. (11/01/2017)
