Ugh! I really hate, Melon. I wish Yell was the star of this show instead.
I'm really starting to dislike, Najimi. The whole childhood crush thing was cute at first, but now she's turning into a jealous bitch. Kakeru, needs to loosen the reins on Melon and let her go extract revenge.
The best parts of this episode were the Kizaki moments. She was so cute when she was around the kittens. Hopefully she plays an even bigger part in the future.
Otoya is just plain creepy.
It requires an abnormal girl to have a crush on Kakeru in the first place. Based on his everyday behavior his collection is short of a few cans, you know.Originally Posted by Marik

Episode 6 - CoalGuys
Wow, this was a great episode. It kinda felt like a series ending episode, with the ending and all.
Indeed, it was a jolly good ep. Kakeru isn't a total douche deep down, he just acts like one most of the time.
But that was one inefficient battle between the cans.
Yeah, I didn't care much the battle, mainly because they used the same attacks over and over. Watching Melon, shout Melon over and over, was quite annoying.
lmao @ Gigolo's clothes, I was surprised the other characters didn't comment on them.
This episode could have used more Airin-kun (Kizaki-desu) <3.
enjoyed 5 and 6
the drama was just about right, and there was enough funny stuff to keep me laughing. Kisaki's cats, Gigolo's pajamas, Budoko, the anti-climactic hug at the baseball stadium.
of course, it doesn't seem like this show is really goig anywhere with the Akikan=Elect thing... at least yet...
i also finally figured out why i like Gigolo so much. Like Kakeru said, he really is his foil. And as entertaining as Kakeru can be, I still don't like him.
but my favorite has to be Yell. She's just so goddamned loyal and ruthless, but totally a self-esteem case, easily emotionaly wounded. when Najimi is mean to her, I just get all worked up.
so the super hot lesbo is actually a real witch. this show is so goddamn random sometimes. but i still like it. somehow all of the cast, even Najimi and Kakeru who I don't like that much, fit and are enjoyable to watch

To be honest, some animes that have bad animation can make up in terms of story/drama/comedy. This anime's no exception either, and it's quite enjoyable to see the emotional flail from left to right, and how it's resolved through conflict of the person that they have the most respect towards (in this case, the owners). However, I agree with Kakeru that fighting isn't a good way to resolve issues, and these girls didn't have a valid reason to fight each other to begin with (Aluminum versus Steel can is just stupid).
Both Melon and Yell has had their fair share of "unwanted" feelings, and they both try their best to please their owner so that they don't get thrown away. That, in itself, is deep respect and I applaud to it because the context of their behavior is a conscious one, realizing the true meaning of "being loved" after Kakeru and Najimi rushed in to stop them from fighting any further. I can't quite say that Goro and Yurika won't have a better role in the future, but hopefully that they do, because they do share a number of interesting traits about them.

After an one week hiatus due to a seiyuu special, the battle between Steel and Aluminum continues!

What the hell! The OP is the same as the old one even though there's new music. I wasn't expecting that. I was hoping to see a glimpse of things to come.
This was a pretty crappy first episode back. Pretty much nothing happened plotwise. The whole thing was just lots and lots of fanservice. The only positive thing was that my favorite character, Airin-kun (Kizaki-desu) got a good bit of screen time.

Haha, this episode had so many sexual puns that I couldn't stop laughing at them, especially with Kizaki. Surprisingly, Yell is attractive to both sexes, and shows off a playful, yet feminine side to her. Hopefully, some newer Akikans will be introduced. Oh, and poor Goro! He never gets any good screen time, unlike Yurika.

The scenes with Airin were hilarious, I never would have thought Kakeru would be able to get to an older woman like that. The Kochikaze fanservice was good as well but not as mental unfortunately. Something that may well be nothing that I noticed was that the gay official's cell phone strap is a witch on a broom. After seeing that Kochikaze's claim of being a witch turned out to be true I wouldn't rule out the possibility that he is one as well. If so that could serve as plot point sometime in the future.
Indeed. I was hoping this Akikan elect thing, was going to be some kind of a grand scale event. So far it's been anything but.
I couldn't stop laughing during the wooden horse scene. That was no doubt one of the best scenes of this whole deranged series.

I loved this episode, particularly because it has Najimi x Kakeru stuffed in it. I liked how Yell doesn't want Najimi to go out with Kakeru, and I can respect that. Kakeru literally just passed out at the moment of her confession, and that was just jerky of him to do that. Perhaps somewhere in the future, she can properly say it when Kakeru is actually serious about his relationship with her.

Akikan has been stalled by CoalGuys.
Regarding Akikan: Stalled until further notice because I don’t really have time and the show takes motivation away from me.

Akikans sure do have delicate feelings that seem to be hurt when their Owners do something very stupid, but like Kakeru said, he really doesn't know what or how Melon feels without being notified of. I mean, her cellphone has all those unsent mail, and she could have talked to him anytime, but refused to do so. It was Najimi's fault for going overboard and hurting Yell's feelings when she was doing something for Najimi, but at least those two recouncil yet again. Also, Gigolo needs more confidence! He's gonna get himself misunderstood even more at this rate.

Melon... needs to be nude in a future OAV :P
I miss Kakeru's innuendos that were in the first few episodes. :/
The kid Akikan (Even though she's the comedic relief character) should be killed off. :P

Worst episode of the series so far. Absolutely nothing happens. Yell's cat face was cute though. That was the only part I liked.

Heh, I like the "everyday life of an Akikan" episode, and I really like Budoko's hair down. She looks cuter than usual that way. Yell can be really destructive when she enters that mode, but can be really fast at correcting that error.

can't believe i'm saying this, but i wish Coalguys would continue with this show...
i haven't watched Chihiro since way back in the Naruto days, but what I saw back then put them on my black list. is this PhoAnime group any decent?
