Akkun to Kanojo is quite an uncomfortable show and not in the way you'd want a comedy to be. This short-length series is intended to be a silly comedy with a simple, high-concept premise (like, for instance, Fudanshi Koukou Seikatsu's "what if a straight guy liked yaoi xD"). However, I’d argue that Akkun to Kanojo’s absolutely goofy premise ("what if a guy treated his girlfriend like shit but actually loves her LOL!") misfires this time. This premise makes what would otherwise be a bland comedy much worse, though it is certainly also brought down by its other creepy and problematic characters.
Essentially, Akkun to Kanojo centres on three different couples and their clashing personalities, which generates the supposed humor of the show. The first couple consists of the eponymous Akkun and…

Well, that's the first shorts anime I've ever seen and in the first episode I didn't see the duration of each episode and I was really surprised that all of the episodes of this anime has the curious duration of 3min and 30sec (in fact, each episode has 2min and 50sec because the opening fills like 30%, I'm not so sure about this but by the way...) and I admit this fact made me feel even more curious about what kind of stuff I would see in this anime and... Now I feel disappointed.
Just to start, this anime is basically some short ""funny"" stories about three couples living ""funny"" moments in their ""funny"" relationships to make you feel ""funnied""? And well... At least, I think a comedy anime is supposed to make you laugh and if it fails, this anime failed in his main purpose. And i…

Short anime, it is a romantic comedy, this well is not the great entertaining thing. The whole series lasts 50 minutes so if you are bored give it a try. they have very curious personalities. I recommend it if you are bored.It does not bring anything new I am writing this because it tells me that the publication is very short.
En español:
Anime corto, es una comedia romántica, esta bien no es la gran cosa entretenida. Toda la serie dura 50 minutos así que si estas aburrido dale una oportunidad. tienen personalidades muy curiosas. La recomiendo si estas aburrido. No trae nada nuevo estoy escribiendo esto porque me dice que la publicacion es muy corta.

The story itself seems kind of bland and played off. Similar to Love is Like a Cocktail both series take a couple with some sort of quirk, in this case having Akkun be a tsundere, and base the entire episode in a 3 minute short.
It's fun and cute and honestly its nothing special but if you're looking to pass some 3 minutes or so you have while idling around it's not a bad shout.
The only problem is if you try to binge the show, I absolutely despised the fact that the OP was a 1/3rd of the episodes and played every damn time when I binged it. I personally would've preferred if they were 20 minute or 12 minute episodes with 12 episodes or less than the 25 episodes each 3 minutes long.
Anyways, its nothing special, but its cute and fun.

Here's the thing. Why do we watch any anime at any given time? Is it because we measure each with a totally equal critical eye, hoping to catch a glimpse of the next great masterpiece? No, it is to find that show that can just *scratch that itch* you've got at that particular time. And no anime does it better than Akkun to Kanojo.
Honestly, I see most of these reviews talking about this show as if it's trying to be something that it's not. The show is similar to One Punch Man in that it plays on some tropes, and adds comedy on top. It's a great show to sit back, relax, and binge while having a few good laughs. NONE of the characters are believable - news flash, that's the point. They are all so over the top so as to be ridiculous, and are written into funny scenario's that the author/dire…

The short episodes are quite a good idea for this type of anime, but still the characters aren’t interesting, you have the impression to look at the same episode again and again.
The storyline... well it’s pretty pointless to mention it if you have watched it you know that there is none. No evolution at all in 25 episodes, I know that it isn’t the purpose of this anime but at the end you get to the same point than when you’ve started it.
No real background of the characters, even if they are endearing, that’s not enough.
It is not a catastrophic anime but it is the simple way, I do like simple anime but it have to contein a certain content.
Overall I passed a neutral moment in front of this anime, yeah neutral is the right word. I see this anime like a after-dinner liqueur, it washes yo…

It's not the type of story that you would make in 'shorts'. A tsundere guy needs a further development for it to be appreciated, plus the relationship they have is actually unhealthy and insensitive. It tries hard to be funny and make a comedy out of their skits, but if you think of it, the guy is actually irresponsible with what he has, given that her girlfriend is so, so much understanding on behalf of him.
The art is very good though. It follows the art style of good anime shows that I've watched. Too bad, the story didn't match it.

A set of 25 shorts with 3 minutes per episode which includes the 50 seconds or so introduction for most episodes.
The story does progress quite nicely throughout. Although I do like it, it does, however, show a bit of a toxic side of a Tsundere into quite a bad relationship really with a pushover girl. If you take it as just a set of shorts in the format it is, however, it is enjoyable.
The art style used is good, nothing special but easy to watch.
I would actually in a sequel like to see the development of Kagari, Chiho and Matsuo, Masago as the primary pairing since they actually have quite a nice relationship going on with a lot of innocence.
It is a good series which is worth a watch.

Short-form anime versus long-form anime: a feud as old as time. However, once you look at it with cool, level-headed mind and free of fanatic thoughts, it becomes downright simple: that 3 minutes of utmost quality always trumps 24 minutes of been-there-done-that entertainment. Therefore, I recommend not to dismiss Akkun to Kanojo ever-- because it truly is an anime of utmost quality.
Ever curious what would it look like if Bakugo Katsuki/Squall Leonhart/Sakuraba Neku/Vegeta had gone head over heels thanks to the crazy, obsessive thing called tween love? Well, meet Kagari "Akkun" Atsuhiro-- on the surface he equivocates his girlfriend with a piece of worthless trash but once the facade is gone, he is just that hopeless romantic who worships his girlfriend more than Starbucks frappe. Obviou…

[spoiler Free Review]
Its short sweet and satisfying!
(Like most penises ಸ‿ಸ)
Akkun to Kanojo Follows the story of a sweet high school pair and their sweet events of life. This anime is best explained as a "75 episode anime with the best 25 parts cut out"
The main character is a male tsundere which was a entertaining sight as its not a trope that's commonly used in anime regularly.
It has little to no story and is only made for the viewer to enjoy the sweet wholesome moments between two cute people.
The art is mediocre and not anything special in any way.
The same goes for the sounds.
The Characters are very good and the only purpose to watch this show lol.
Overall its a sweet show that does not take longer then 75 mins too watch so go ahead and watch it in your free time.

This anime was pretty adorable, though at times pretty creepy, and definitely a quick binge watch. With the episodes being three minutes long, including the intro, I breezed through all 25 episodes in no time. I gave this anime an overall score of 7/10, and here's why.
Story: 6/10
Okay, so main story isn't that interesting, I'll be honest. It's just about the male character verbally abusing his girlfriend because he is apparently shy, and can't function properly when around her, but in secrecy he calls her an angel, etc. What really hooked me on the series is the other characters interactions with each other, specifically that of the main male characters sister and his best friend. I really loved how they interacted with each other, and how their friendship developed overtime.
Art: 7/10…

The eps are only slightly over 3 min long so I thing you should just watch a few and see if you like it. The tone of the anime is pretty much the same through all 25 episodes so I really think it depends on your personal taste. It is mainly about a tsundere male and his girlfriend and about how his inner personality doesn't match his outer personality and he has difficulties expressing his love for her..The girl understands this and thinks it is super cute. There are other characters in it too that have some level of love/friendship to add some diversity to it. So if you think you are into that type of comedic romance you should give it a try. I personally thought it was super cute and funny.

This is one of those anime where you really wish it was more than 3 minutes long and that it had more depth into the story. The story of Akkun (Atsuhiro Kagari) and Non tan (Non Katagiri) and how their relationship develops over the years is, in my personal opinion, really enjoyable. It's one of those anime where you can just lay back and enjoy the romance without being worried about the plot turning into something you're not in the mood for, like in some cases of good anime in the top 50, where they agonize you until you reach the happy ending you're hoping for and then catapulting you into oblivion because of the depressing ending that's waiting to crush all your hopes.
Just my opinion here as this is my first review, If you want a break from agony and just want to fall into some clich…

I love my anime shorts when aren’t too boring and nice to watch every week as a pause or relaxation.
This is the correct formula for me.
The story 5/10 :
This wasn’t really all about the story but if I have to give it a not I would gladly give it a 5, not too good or too bad. Was there even a story? It’s not about that so who cares.
The art 7/10 :
The art was nice, it matched well with the aura of the anime. It was cute and simple with some chibi in some parts which made it even cuter.
The sound 6/10 :
The audio was decent and does it’s thing, you know it’s there but you don’t really notice it since you’re too focused on what happens on screen.
The characters 8/10 :
They were cute, oh they were so cute. This is mainly why I watch those anime shorts, since they don’t have a lot of scree…

the story revolves akkun, a guy who's a dick to his girlfriend, nontan, just because he doesn't know how to act around her.
as a comedy this anime was pretty funny and i saw it as kinda a satire work, seeing how all the characters were so exaggerated. it was short and sweet, each episode having a new story (usually) and focused on not just nontan and akkun's relationship but two other couples (?). i really wished though, that we got to see some character development. akkun remained emotionally unstable and nontan was too forgiving.
it was a good anime, funny and short, with sweet moments but it could have more development. BTW! in case anyone watched this anime and thought that the relationship was something normal IT IS NOT!!! RUN FOR THE HILLS IF SOMEONE IS TREATING U THIS WAY!! it is…

It's one of the anime you wish it had longer episodes.
Most of the times you watch tsundere girls, but what about a tsundere boy?
The mangaka and the animation company made every scene unique and beautiful, unraveling the emotions of a couple with a deep and not superficial relationship.
For those who are not fond of relationships, there are other character ships that are quite funny, but romantic.
The characters develop with a modes pace, and the story has a relatively static progress.
It's interesting how people dream about future desires with other people, and that makes them happy and motivates them to evolve and get better. So, I'd say it was more than a shallow romantic comedy, but a glimpse of a warm and sweet long-term relationship.

Sorry if this review is a bit raw. I'm out of practice.
Short, but charming. Akkun to Kanojo is a show that brings some warmth and humor into its episodes, no matter if they're only 3 to 4 minutes long.
Story: The anime mainly follows the everyday life of extreme tsundere Akkun Katagiri and his girlfriend, Nontan. They don't usually act like they're in a relationship due to tsundere tendencies, but I find that to be a nice gimmick. Story-wise, the show doesn't really follow much of a story as the show feels more like yearly activity sort of show. However, other animes are able to fit a story with this kind of show type, but due to shorter episodes, this show wasn't able to execute it although that is fine. For the amount of story given, there was enough to give a backstory, development,…

So I don't really have an affinity for shorts (I didn't really like Love is Like a Cocktail), but I don't outright hate them either. I think telling a comprehensive story in such a short frame of time is really difficult. Which is why I was blown away by how well these shorts tied in and developed over the course of the season. While only about 3 minutes long, the story centers around 3 different couples in a similar circle of friends.
Since it's a short, I don't want to go into too much detail about the roles and development, as it honestly would only take you about an hour to binge them all. The romance was pretty well established, and the comedy was competent enough that I consistently chuckled at each situation. Honestly this small show was the highlight of my Spring and Summer season…

When it comes to Japan's obsession with trying to make things 'cute', nothing is out of bounds in the realm of possibility. In an effort to make even the simple story of an idealized high school romance quirky and comedic, I think it's clear that sometimes things get taken too far even if it's for laughs.
Akkun to Kanojo or 'Akkun and his girlfriend' grants us a 2 cours of 3 minute episodes, each episode functioning like a 4-koma series where we're treated to Atsuhiro, or Akkun, playing a male tsundere to his girlfriend whenever she comes to spend time together or suggest something for them to do.
The main draw of this series comes primarily from his reactions where he shoots down his girlfriend Non's suggestions a la verbal abuse (literally calling her trash, ugly, what have you), befo…

No, No,No,Non,No,Non, Dang!!!!!! I can't believe that there were only two who made a review of this short anime,welp can't blame the others if they don't feel like making a review of a creepy guy Akkun who pretends to be an asshole towards a sweet dere dere girl like No, no,no,non,no,non Non Katagari who can be considered as wifu material for Akkun if only he's nice, but then again such romance was good though the story was a knock off from Momokuri and Aho Girl so basically the story plot was mediocre. On the art category, well Konagi is what can we call as the quintessential Zettai Ryoki , with the boobs , while Non was the quintessential panty hose and Kagari Chio well she the quintessential loli around here given that she is in middle school, but seriously, I just don't have much to co…
