Akikan!
The story revolves around a typical high school boy named Kakeru Daichi and the can of melon juice soda that he bought from a vending machine. The can suddenly transforms into a beautiful but standoffish girl that Kakeru nicknames "Melon," and more "Akikan" ("empty can") girls appear. However, Akikan girls need to be infused with carbon dioxide from kissing to survive.

Re: Akikan!
There's a novel for this? Why, I don't know! :O
The concept of Akikan being a girl disguising as a can, needing "CO2 Kiss" to survive is so weird I had to take my time coming to terms of "Okay, it's like this. Now on to the story!"

Re: Akikan!
Yes, it is a novel, it has like 2 volumes in chinese so far... Watching the anime kinda interests me, but it doesnt seem all that special for me to buy it yet...

Re: Akikan!
Agreed. I find myself thinking that I probably could drop this one like a hot potato. I do not think that they matched the seiyuu quite right for Melon Soda. I know this is a bit too cliche, but I think that Kugimiya Rie would have been a better choice. Frankly, I am getting a little tired of half-baked harem series. This just seems like another one of those. I think that anime, in order to keep fresh and survive as an industry, needs to mix things up a bit more. It is becoming harder and harder to find original series with good plots and non-stereotypical characterization. Now, I am not saying that I want to quit watching anime; I am saying that the anime industry needs to find better source material.

Noted. The animation is definitely on the low-budget side.

Re: Akikan!
It reminds me of Inukami but worse at everything Inukami did.

Re: Akikan!
No kidding. Which studio did this series again? If it keeps on cranking out this crap, I would think that they should be ashamed of themselves. Touhou is being done by a doujin group and looks better for crying out loud!

Umm... Xebec? Coming to think of it they also spoiled the first Negima!.ainsoph9 wrote:No kidding. Which studio did this series again?

.... I might be wrong since I only recalled through memory. There might be a "flux" in my memory though (what am I!? An AI!?).

Re: Akikan!
Baccano came out really good, and I didn't see anything wrong with Kurenai either.

Re: Akikan!
I am actually interested to read Kurenai, reason? I watched the anime and find it quite good. The weird thing? I saw a few forums that said the anime is a failure.... Just how good is the novel i wonder?TheGiftedMonkey wrote:Baccano came out really good, and I didn't see anything wrong with Kurenai either.

Re: Akikan!
I think I remember hearing that there were some significant differences between the novel and the anime. I think that the novel is supposed to be much more messed up in some ways, which is why I believe we never took up the project here. Also, I do not think that we had a translator at the time. But, hey, my memory is always on the fritz anymore.
