An anime of pure madness
I watched this anime when it was first released; at the time, I was really interested in Akihabara, the famous Japanese district known as a paradise for fans of anime, manga, games, and otaku culture. So, when I discovered an anime that used that very setting as a key part of its concept, I got curious and decided to watch it.
To get straight to the point: I really liked Akiba's Trip: The Animation back then, but rewatching it now, my opinion has shifted a bit. I can still see the charm and fun I found in it the first time around, but I’m also much more aware of its flaws. The animation is merely average, the story is pretty mediocre, the power system is sloppy, and, to top it off, there’s a fair amount of ecchi. It’s the kind of anime that isn't afraid to embrac…

Akiba's Trip the Animation is far more an experience then it's a show really.
From the under 5 minutes of research i've conducted this is a very loose adaptation of a game with the same name.Further research is irrelevant as this anime doesn't rely on the game as a crutch.
All of the show's story happens in 1 town,that being Akibahara. There's some sort of body snatcher-like invasion ,and the only way to defeat these interlopers is to strip them of their clothes. And when the premise is revealed and the atmosphere sets in,you are supposed to understand one very important thing,something that most people who reviewed this anime probably didn't. This show never takes itself seriously. And neither should you. Of course there are a few serious moments,but nothing that will force you to ponde…

This anime thought me not to judge a book by its cover.
I let myself be swayed away by the negative reviews and the low user score and actually started watching this show with super low expectations of what I was going to see. Little did I know, Akiba's Trip The Animation would rapidly spiral into one of my favorites animes of all time (okay, maybe not, but it's still pretty great, none the less).
For starters, one must know that Akiba's Trip The Animation is, at is name implies, the anime adaptation of a mobile game who came out originally around 2012 or so. Rather to make this show a glorified commercial for the game it originally comes from, like many other animes would have chosen to do, Akiba's Trip The Animation delivers us with a unique (albeit chaotic, at times) story-line of ecc…

I watched Akiba's Trip. Here are my thoughts:
The plot is mostly episodic monster-of-the-week stuff that is consistently boring and idiotic. Basically, there are bad guys in Akibahara, and the only way to fight them is to strip off their clothes (hence the title of the show). It's as moronic as it sounds, and it stops being funny after about 5 minutes, yet entire scenes are devoted to it, usually multiple times per episode. The fight scenes are boring as hell and drag on way too long. This show overall is frankly just completely retarded, and not in an endearing way either, at least not enough for 13 episodes. My average level of enjoyment while watching was quite low, but every so often there'd be some relatable nerd reference that I'd chuckle at, which is why I didn't drop it.
The art…

Akiba's Trip The Animation:
was pretty fun to watch, Despite the fact that
I think the creators were drunk when creating this series
"Akiba's Trip The Animation" Is based on a game called "Akiba's Trip"
Its an Action-Adventure Video game
where the character must strip of their enemies clothes to defeat them
Its playable on PC, PSV, PS3, and PS4
but I just don't think the anime is just for me
other's will have a different opinion
The sounds was great the art style was fine
I didn't really Enjoy the story
But I enjoyed the strip of the clothes of their enemies
The characters was Fine but I think they could've make it better
I Can't really say anymore cause of spoilers so yeah
So for Overall I think its only fair to give it 6.3

I want to be clear: Akiba's Trip is absolutely garbage, and it was also HILARIOUS. The show itself is aware of how ridiculous and silly it is, and it revels in both making fun of and embracing nerd culture. The in-jokes are amazing if you're also super into a lot of the silly supernerd stuff the show focuses on, and the sheer glee and energy it has along with its unceasing devotion to doing something completely stupid as well as it possibly can kept me laughing all the way to the end.
Is it a little embarrassing how much I liked this, given that I'm a classics-and-surrealism stuck up prick? ... no, actually, not at all. I read more Hugo and Nebula winning novels and short stories than anyone else I know, so I don't feel like my taste creds are threatened at all by loving this gorgeous gol…

The Akiba streep animation anime was great, I liked the characters, the fan service, which I really liked, the comedy and I really liked the opening. 2021 the villains were also very good and they were very beautiful the animation was also great hopefully this or the other year we can see a second season and they let us know that things happened in the future and tamotsu and matome have to fix it I hope very much that second one season for the second hopefully miss akohainen has powers and alludes them in the fight and of course continue with the group of dancing idols I have seen it several times

Akiba's Trip is based "loosely" off of the video game series of the same name, as in it shares the same concept, but no characters, story, etc.
It's admittedly a train wreck. The characters are all extremely one note stereotypes, the story is messy and constantly throwing itself around in crazy places.
I don't understand who this was for. For the fans of the games, it was a letdown to have it bear hardly any resemblance at all.
For fresh viewers who hadn't heard of the game franchise prior, they should be disappointed by its shallow fanservice, constant misdirection, and mediocre characterization.
At least some of the visual effects are decent.

The authors have used an interesting artstyle and over-the-top premise to fill a show with as many ridiculous memes and shit references as possible while ending up with a story that is most likely purposefully trying to be as generic as possible.
I don't know, maybe they were trying to make a comment on the state of the industry overall with this but as it is it really is not an anime that is able to stand on its own.
I am not surprised that the reviews here are so split in each direction.
Watch alone and if you appreciate meta-stuff.
I basically only watched it for the staxbro episode I got linked, so I cannot really complain.

First up, in order to defeat the bugged ones/vampires, you had to strip them naked. YOU HAD TO TAKE OFF THEIR CLOTHES. What a weird as hell anime, but I really enjoyed it. It was like a parody of itself including a lot of other tv shows/anime references. The story became all over the place at most episodes and the ending felt rushed, but it was still pretty cool. Two episodes that will have you in tears laughing, would be the Yu-Gi-Oh episode and the WWE parody episode. You cannot watch those two with a straight face. It was just a whole wtf type mess of a thing. The romance was pretty much minimal in this one up until the last episode. Fun and weird show overall.

TL;DR: hit & miss, you might like one episode and hate another one. Otaku parody, paired with a bit of action and romance. Lightweight, no deep thinking required, with an "awwwh" moment every now and then.
________________
As other reviews already stated, Akibas Trip is basically a hit & miss for every single episode (apart from the first and the last 2-3 ones I guess).
Overall -
If you are into otaku / nerd stuff, give it a try.. you might like it. If you are only in for the romance, you can watch the first 1-2 episodes and then skip to episode 10.
I was a bit unsure because of the rather low 6.70 rating, but I actually quite liked it. There definitely are worse ways to spend your time.
Story & Content -
Most of the episodes don't follow a big story / plot, instead they are small stori…

All I can say " To many plots and joke is bad". The anime with 3d. It's like watching an otaku person doing an anime series. That is offensive for some person at the same time funny. One of worst anime ever seen and bring my emotion bad standard, some seen on the episode shown by this anime is badly to watch. If you are bored on good anime I can highly recommend to watch this on your standard, laughing at the okatu culture mean enjoying the fun and trash us the same time.
I can say "It was enjoyable to watch". A bad anime with good side.
Conclusion: Anime is Trash, So Am I. I Love the Anime Recommend watch low taste of anime like me :) cheers

Akiba's Trip was a really fun show. After reading the synopsis it may sound like it's all about fan service but I think it's more about the humor. Even the fan service is more humorous then provocative. I'd say its main focus is on the otaku culture and using that as a source of humor. It does it in a way that pokes fun while also paying homage to it. If you're new to anime then I don't think I'd recommend this one. Also if you're going to watch it for the fan service then you might be disappointed. There's no real nudity and all of it is more for laughs than anything else. I was good with this because comedy was what I was looking for and that's about all you can expect from this show. As long as people go into it with that mind set I think they'll really enjoy the show.

Great. I like myself a good Ecchi anime.
I find it pretty cool and interesting how the anime is set in a modern, colourful society. I also like how the plot has superhuman powers but I feel like the technology used is a bit too unrealistic for the setting. The art is stunningly amazing and the video/animation quality is great, as well as having eye popping colours (and characters, which I'll explain later).
I really like how the show starts and has fast paced and peppy songs. I'm kind of into that, but it would be a little better if they had subtitles for the songs. The character designs are pretty cool, with interesting personalities and colourful hair, as well as a couple of cool and...busty people *Cough, Arisa cough*. The fight scenes are awesome and some are just downright spectacu…

So I was originally gonna pass up this anime, I figured it was just another cookie cutter anime and really didn't think I would enjoy it. Optimistically I thought I might get a small amount of enjoyment out of it, but I never expected that I would have an absolute blast!
Akiba's Trip is an anime that knows exactly what it is, what it wants to be, and is completely unapologetic about all of it. It knows that its a fan service-y anime and that means it will lose a lot on depth, but because of that it never allows itself to take itself too seriously.
Despite this the anime manages to pull off some damn fine comedy, constructs stories that are interesting for a 'villain-of-the-week scenario', and really absorb you into the world of Akiba. Combined with a good cast of characters whom all comp…

Warning possible Spoilers
To me this was definitely a hidden and underrated gem of the 2017 winter season because this was one fun and hilarious ride.
The story focuses on Tamotsu and his sister Niwaka who go to Akiba to enjoy all it's Otaku brilliance, but they get attacked by creatures called Bugged ones, they run into Matome who is defending Akiba from this threat and also with the help of Arisa they create a team to defend this Otaku paradise from this new monstrous threat.
You gotta love a story when it doesn't take itself seriously which is what this show does even though it's about a group of teens defending a section of town from weird monsters I was surprised to see how well this show worked because I can definitely say it was one funny ride because no matter how dangerous the t…

TL;DR – a 5-6 series that might have been 7-8 if it did a few things differently, Akiba's Trip will appeal to fans of ecchi, otaku oriented comedy, but probably not make many favourites lists.
Adapting (I presume somewhat loosely) the video game that seems to sit somewhere between cult & meme, Akiba's Trip is a rough, trashy & unexpectedly enjoyable series that celebrates both the place & the image of Akihabara, perhaps to a fault. It avoids the trap of coming off as insufferably smug about “being” otaku in a way that has echoes of some of Gainax's more self-indulgent titles in the 2000s, or recent series like Twintails, but a limited ambition means it never matches them.
After getting killed in the crossfire between the neon red headed Matome Magonaka & the body-snatching Bugged One's,…

I’m amazed that there is an anime out there in which characters eat Döner.
Story:
Evil monsters attack Akihabara by taking over the nerd culture and can only be stopped by stripping them naked. What can I possibly say to justify this? It’s exactly as stupid as it sounds. Now, obviously you can see this as a bad thing (and most of you possibly will). The question is, does Akiba Strip use this to its advantage or does it rely on its “hilariousness”? Well, sadly it is the latter, most of the time. Akiba Strip is self-aware and that may be its biggest weakness. If I compare it to Kill La Kill for example, which had a similarly ridiculous premise, that show played it straight, which made it work so much better. Akiba is not doing much to flesh itself out and therefore often falls flat. Due to…
