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 is a comedy created for anyone proud of their inheritance of otaku/geek culture.
This anime is about a group of heroes responsible for protecting Akihabara, the cathedral of otaku/geek culture, from the attacks of mysterious aliens that want to destroy it.
In each one of the chapters, you will experience the different passions of the otaku culture, namely:
a) Mangas

Something significant to mention is that Akiba's Trip never makes mock the otaku culture; on the contrary, all the comedy occurs, put…

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.

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…

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…

It's pretty bad, but good at the same time. It's good to be bad, but he does not take himself seriously from the start and it's clear.
The anime for many times has no meaning at all, animation is very inconsistent to bad, but it's very funny, fun, full of references to other anime and games (some really cheeky) and has some (few) great battles.
The characters have no depth, but this was purposeful, Akiba is very well represented here, which is one of the highlights of the anime and the soundtrack is good.
I found it ok, the anime fulfilled its role of being unpretentious.
Ps: Sorry for my english. T^T

First, do not look at my rating/s. It is strictly based on enjoyment. I refuse to be a person who looks for flaws and assumptions only to ruin his enjoyment and memories of shows. And not to mention ruin the chances for others to pick a show just because someone trusted a stranger instead of them self.
This review's purpose is to write how I experienced the show, what I remember specifically and what I liked and to spread positivity.
If your overall experience is great, then changing something will only change the overall feeling. Which is not necessarily guaranteed to be a good thing as some people might think. Something is what it is and that's why your overall experience was great. You are lying to yourself if you think you really want something changed.

The beautiful thing about comedy is that it's subjective. It's an extremely wide topic where there're a multitude of ways to go about it, with the main goal being getting those watching or listening to laugh at the end. So, how does one go about making the ridiculous plot of stripping off peoples' clothes entertaining? Well, by shoving in references of course.
Story: Akihabara, the place of hopes and dreams is threatened by an unseen threat. Bugged ones, creatures who lurk in the dark, seek to take over the otaku capital and rule over it by their own laws and values. In order to beat them, one must expose the people they inhabit to light. Which means, strip the person to their undergarments. But never fear, the team consisting of three teenagers and a middle schooler known as Electric May…

Another game turned anime adaptation, this better not have the video game adaptation curse because LA already had enough of shitty video game anime adaptations from 2016!!!...
It's different in it's own quirky way...
For it's introductory episode, Akiba's Trip does bring us the setting as well as how Electric Mayonnaise gets formed as well as the threat of the Bugged Ones and how to defeat them. After that?, it has an episodic format where a new Bugged One threat appears, Electric Mayonnaise stumbles or is directly influenced by the new fad of Akihabara or Tamotsu Denkigai voiced by Haruki Ishiya's latest craze to defeat the Bugged Ones. Akiba's Trip using it's episodic format looks into the otaku subcultures through this setting, from fighting games, computer parts, card games, anime…

If you know the game that this anime is based on you'd expect it to be fanservice city.Well let me warn you, it's not. There is some fanservice here and there and it can be quite nice but this show does not live and die off of fanservice. It actually lives and breathes off of comedy. And it is really good at it.
The comedy of Akiba's Trip is specialized and really out there. They don't settle with just making a job plain they really go all the way out there and really proclaim it. The fiendish plans range from silly but plausible to WTF HOW DO YOU THINK THIS WOULD WORK!? And it works because each plan is more stupid than the last until it gets to the point of just HOWWW. Everything is exaggerated in this show. The farther into each episode the more exaggerated it gets. It's great to see a…

Ah, Akihabara. Otaku center of the world. Filled to the brim with anime, manga, video games, computer goods, maid cafés, and vampires.
Akiba's Trip The Animation feels like a love letter to Akiba and every nerdy interest you can think of. Is it a masterful work of writing? No. Is it thought provoking? No. Is it enjoyable? I'd like to think so. Isn't that why we watch anime? To enjoy ourselves?
The premise is quite simple. Akiba has been overrun by vampires known as "Bugged Ones" and the only way to defeat them is to strip them of their clothes and expose them to sunlight. Depending on your tolerance for fan service there's your indication as to whether or not you should bother starting the show. However, for those coming in because they're thinking the show will have the same amount of…

Do you remember that feeling of watching a cartoon as a child? Would you ever want to feel like that again? If the answer is yes, then here you go, this is it but with boobs, asses and even DICKS!
*Disclaimer: Don't expect to see any of that though, it's all censored of course.
The concept like that has been seen before of course, this is not anything new, but mix that with the intent of showcasing any type of phase that exists in the world and you may just find a winner for some of us in the anime community. With that being said, I present you with Akiba's Trip The Animation, based on the somewhat popular series of games, this is probably the most explosive and bombastic anime of Winter 2017.
The whole idea of Akiba's Trip is not one that I would call simple. Tamotsu and his sister Niwa…
