Despite his incredible bashfulness, Atsuhiro "Akkun" Kagari has landed the girl of his dreams: the sweet and loveable Non Katagiri. However, his embarrassment for affectionate acts—from giving compliments to exchanging a kiss—causes him to act harsh and downright mean to Katagiri in their day-to-day lives. But Akkun is still very much a boy in love; he shows his admiration for Katagiri in his own way. From tailing her in order to take her picture to eavesdropping in on her conversations, he ends up stalking his own girlfriend.
Luckily enough, Katagiri finds Akkun's actions cute and endearing, and knows he doesn't really mean any of his insults. Even if their close friend, Masago Matsuo, finds their dynamic a little odd, Katagiri loves her sweet tyrant just the way he is.

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 themto 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), before going to the other room and acting all deredere and obsessive in secret because in reality, he sees her as an angel that's graced this plagued earth and should be protected at all costs. He just can't physically show any affection towards her while she's around because...reasons. This persists throughout the entire runtime, and thank god it's only 3 minutes per episode because being subjected to this schtick for longer would be slogging the experience.
In fact, I feel like any of the other 'couples' featured in the show: Atsuhiro's sister x his arguably creepy best friend, and the teacher with X face snake girl would be an even better story to tell because even though they stick to the status quo just like any other 4-koma, they actually seem like they could get somewhere, and they do actually make inches of progress. Whereas on the other hand, our main couple doesn't do jack and it's actually more unsettling to watch especially considering our main protagonist records the voice and has an entire room filled with pictures of his girlfriend on the walls and ceiling. Which is NOT cute in the slightest.
Personally I don't think even by anime short standards that this is anything worth watching. It feels like Japan is just trying to make whatever kind of quirky relationship they can cute, when it's visually a very unhealthy and somewhat abusive relationship intended to be played for laughs. Definitely not an hour and a half well spent.

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.

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 takeyou 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 seasons. Characters connections deepen and improve over the course of the story, which highlights that the world is a bit dynamic rather than just a static joke that goes on way too long. Story and character are the two main parts of this short, but the art style isn't bad either. The biggest shame is that I could find nowhere that had a translated and uploaded manga online.
Akkun to Kanojo is a very short, brisk, and fun show that's sure to appease those looking for a good romcom feel without the investment in multiple seasons trying to wade through a harem hoping that "best girl" isn't "first girl". Give this show a go, and I hope it comes around for season 3 so I can see Chiho and Matsuo's relationship develop even further.

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 thequintessential 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 comment about this anime's illustration, since one won't be seeing any panchira or any lewd fanservices around here. The sound, yes I kinda like the opening theme of this anime and the seiyuu who did Akkun's voice Suzuki Tatsuhisa whose voice matches perfectly with the character and the one who voices Non , Ayaka Suwa whose voice was just too sweet to be use on the character. Which puts us to the other category, them characters, ok we have Kagari, Atsuhiro who is one part asshole, one part chauvinist, one part nice guy and one part crazy all put together like a machine with alotta ill-fitted parts , one part of me wants to punch him in his face one part of me like his nice guy attitude, his sister Chiho is also like him except that she isn't crazy and in fact she is the real tsundere here , and I like the way how she treats Matsuo Masago since he is this nuisance who drops by to hang out and play games, but then again I kinda like him for being able to read Chiho's vibe that he likes her and that she only pretends to hate him.......now on to Irie, Konagi and the teacher Takumi Kubomura, well I guess we can say that they were the unique, since we have this young girl who is a stalker and the teacher whom somehow likes to be stalk, the again it was nice that the teacher does like Irie, since it isn't always that a cute younger girl approaches an older guy like the teacher. so I guess that characters of this anime did bring something good on the table so overall this anime maybe 4 mins long (which includes the opening), but it was well enjoyable. So, my ratings:
Story-Mediocre 5: Since it was a knock off of MomoKuri and Aho Girl, I wanna banana.
Art- fair 6: It has the usual quintessentials., nut since there weren't anything lewd here, such score should be enough.
Sound-Good 7: That's for the opening theme and for the voices of Akkun and Non.
Character- Good 7: I did ended with Akkun finally being man enough to express his feeling for non, but I still wanna punch him in the face for all those verbal assault he did for Non.
Enjoyment- Good 7: It was funny, it was romantic, but for the most part I despise Akkun for hiding his feeling towards Non by being an asshole.
Overall-Good 7: Not bad for studio Yumeta Company to come up with this short anime, but I still wanna punch Akkun in his face.
BOOM!!!!!!! ( Mic Drop)

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 futuredesires 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.

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 centreson three different couples and their clashing personalities, which generates the supposed humor of the show. The first couple consists of the eponymous Akkun and his girlfriend Non. Akkun behaves like a "tsundere" in front of Non and shuns her in person, though internally he is completely obsessed with her. This shunning takes the form of verbal abuse, wherein Akkun will tell Non to shut up, call her ugly or trash, or say things like he never wants to see her again. Great guy. Non on the other hand is totally fine with this as she claims to know of his affection deep down. Akkun’s obsession is somehow a bit worse than his shunning as it is often downright creepy; his room, pillow, and sheets are plastered with her photos, he often stalks her after telling her to piss off, and he apparently not only records her but even wiretaps her so he can hear her voice. Big time yikes. Once in a while, Akkun breaks free and is able to show his affection to Non, which I suppose is how their relationship is sustained, but it is always followed by some silly counter effect (he kisses her, then has to distance himself from her for some days). The main gimmick of their relationship is that despite how much he appears to turn Non away, he always has some crazy way to show his true affection in return. Unfortunately, the show seems to think that all of Akkun’s silly antics are funny when they’re really just stale, creepy, and abusive. That and Akkun is just a straight-up unredeeming psychopathic asshole.
The second pairing consists of their friend Matsuo and Akkun’s sister Chiho. Matsuo likes to come over to the siblings' house uninvited, stay for as long as he wants, and play dating sims on their TV. The only person who seems to care (i.e. have some actual sense) is Chiho who always has a retort for him. However, she’s easily flustered and he easily turns whatever she says back on her and continues on. Though Matsuo is also somewhat of a weird creep, this is the more acceptable pair as there is some sort of development between them, adding something more than just stale comedy (this is all relative of course; outside of this series, their shtick is just perfunctory, auto-pilot humour).
Lastly is the morally questionable pairing of Irie and Kubomura. Irie is some random friend of the others who is openly thirsty for her laid-back teacher Kubomura. She often proclaims she loves him and schemes to get close to him, such as wilfully flunking her subjects so he can teach her make-up classes (which she doesn’t even listen to). While I would normally be okay with the teacher (as he mostly acts like a normal person), he doesn’t really try hard to reject Irie and treats her with mild apathy, which is also problematic as it just enables her behaviour. Moreover, I’m not really sure what is supposed to be comedic about them. What’s wrong with this pairing is not really the ethics but more that they feel completely tacked on to the show in general. The first two pairs are more close-knit and interact with each other, while these two tend to be more separate from the rest and their scenes tend to occur outside the sphere of the others. They don’t really add anything to the series and don’t have a point for being in the series, aside from adding what the show deems as “humorous”.
In general, these pairings are all basically gimmicks: Akkun always does something over-the-top for his infatuation, Chiho is always bickering with Matsuo, and Irie tries to woos Kubomura. These gimmicks aren’t really that funny in the first place however: Akkun is an abusive prick, Matsuo is a weirdo, and Irie is trying to get her teacher arrested. Beyond that, none of the actual jokes have a good comedic foundation, nor are they that varied or distinct, so it feels like the same joke is repeated again and again. The show circulates between these couples, repeating the same “gags” continuously until the end, which miraculously makes this short anime a total drag to watch.
I continued watching Akkun to Kanojo to see if there was anything worth taking away. How did Akkun and Non get together? Why do they have a relationship like this? Is there anything redeemable about them? While these questions are partially answered, its rather weak and done in the exaggerated nature of the show. Akkun is a dick and is never given a reason for his behaviour towards Non. He doesn’t seem to feel regret over his words either, which would have made his ridiculous character somewhat more believable and human. The most resistance he receives from others is “Should you really be saying that to her?” but irritatingly enough the show tends to dodge any real answer from him aside from “You don’t understand bro, I actually love her.” His obsession on the other hand is always exaggerated and played on for comedy, which makes it hard to see why he actually likes Non as a person, if at all. Non on the other hand is a total sponge who just takes everything that Akkun says because she knows he actually likes her. Her reason for liking him is the typical anime reason (“He’s a nice guy”). Comically enough, her explanation for how she started liking him is unintentionally laughable as she lists mundane reasons such as "He waited for someone" or "He moved a rock off a wide empty path so people wouldn’t trip" Seriously? What a freakin’ hero! I still don’t get why she actually likes him and since she doesn’t seem to have a deep connection with him, she could easily find someone that would treat her better (sis!). Honestly, she just reminds me of an abuse victim, which she basically is. None of their behavior is really convincing and I suppose it wouldn’t have to be if the show was actually amusing.
Somehow, this aimless series manages to pull off some sort of conflict for its finale but it's just really dumb. Of all the bile that comes out of Akkun’s mouth, this time he says "hate", and NOW this time Non gets offended because THAT’S THE ONE WORD HE CAN’T SAY. Blahblahblah resolution and all, but seriously how incredibly stupid is that?
There was at least one moment in the show where Akkun actually showed some consideration for Non and her feelings, but this one example really highlights what’s wrong with the show: it too often focuses on its unfunny gimmicks, which are made worse by their problematic implications. I would imagine defenders of the show would say that the point is that Akkun and Non are a match for each other, but the show never gives a reason to buy this conceit. Essentially, Akkun to Kanojo just romanticises abusive and toxic relationships.

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 thatof 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 art in this anime was absolutely adorable. It was a mix between the traditional anime style and a few chibis here and there. Overall, I feel this art style worked well with the anime.
Sound: 5/10
I would rate this higher, but seeing as there are only two songs throughout the whole 25 episode anime, both being openings, I don't feel that I can judge it very high. I did enjoy both of the openings to this though, the second opening being better than the first, in my opinion. Like I said, there wasn't an ending to this anime, all there was at the end was a short few musical notes, or something like that, not too sure how to explain it. I do see myself listening to both of the openings in my spare time though.
Character: 6/10
Some of the characters in this anime did have some growth throughout the short anime, more towards the end of the show than anything. A couple characters didn't change all that much at all though. I do like the diversity between the different characters, though in some ways, a couple characters acted similar, you were still able to distinguish who was who.
Enjoyment: 8/10
I surprisingly did enjoy this anime. I didn't expect myself to, seeing how verbally abusive the main male is, I honestly thought I would hate it. I went in expecting to, honestly. I know, if I thought I would hate it, why did I even give it a chance? Well, to be honest, I figured that since the episodes were so short, I would watch a couple episodes and if I truly didn't like it, then I would only have wasted 9-12 minutes of my life rather than the couple hours I would have wasted starting a regular anime that I don't like. I thought that this anime was pretty cute overall, once I got past the main character's issues.
Overall: 7
As you can tell, I did enjoy this anime overall. I do wish it were longer overall, I wish I could have seen more into the other characters stories than what we got. If that would have happened, I would have rated it higher, probably an 8 or 9. I am thinking about reading the manga in hopes that it will go further into the above mentioned things, since the anime tends to leave certain things out.

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 hopingfor 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 cliche Japanese romance filled anime and enjoy the ride, I recommend Akkun to Kanojo.
I just really wish it was longer and i'm looking forward to a new season with a new approach to turn this anime into a 12 or 24 twenty minute episodes.
I hope you found this helpful !
masaroide
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 aboutthree 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 in that case, I will let to the reader of this review judge if an anime with 25 episodes which made me laugh in only 1 episode of the entire series is a good comedy anime =D
And let's just begin:
Story: 2/10
This is anime just don't have a story (at least, not a linear succession of facts). Is quite impossible to just make a story in this kind of anime and I understand this so, I will analyze the idea.
However much I dislike tsunderes and all of this kind of stuff, I think that it was an interesting idea a "reverse tsundere" with Akkun (the guy in the main couple of the series) and that's the unique praise I do to the idea of the series.
The couples are three (in order of relevance): Akkun x Nontan, Matsuo x Chiho and Irie x Sensei.
Akkun and Nontan has a bizarre relationship. While Nontan is a really gentle and attentive girlfriend, Akkun is just an unnecessary sick guy that acts like a freaking stalker when he's far away of his girl and when he's close to her, he just treat her like shit and this is simply not comic.
Matsuo and Chiho are the most "normal" couple in this series. It's basically the tsundere sister of Akkun (that is more sane than her brother) and an Akkun's friend. She acts like a tsundere and he acts like a cool guy, simple. Unfortunately, their romance are not well grown, I think it could be better if this couple at least have a little "unwanted" kiss just to cheer up the whole thing.
Irie and Sensei (I don't remember if this man has a name) are the most improbable "couple". I don't think it's a good idea to flirt with your teacher and this is just unhealthy and really wrong. You might think "yeah, but no one would do that" and that's a point. But, if there are people that stills believe that the Earth is flat, I think nothing more would surprise me.
Characters: 3/10
Akkun is an unhealthy stalker and an idiot with her gf. Chiho is a bit less tsundere than Akkun and I confess she's tolerable. I have nothing to say about Irie. Sensei and Matsuo are the most sensitive characters. Nontan is cute, but she's a wind head. I don't like the way she insists in her boyfriend even if he treats her like shit and call her with some disgusting nicknames, obviously Akkun rarely treats her well.
Music, Opening and Ending: 6/10
The musics and sounds are ok, I liked the first opening of the anime but the second I think the music didn't match with the opening. The endings are just a single picture of the characters that starred in the story of the short
Animation: 5/10
The animation is nice but there's nothing new or something really impressive. The design of the characaters are too normal and it's a little generic
Enjoyment: 3/10
That's the kind of anime that someone watches when there's nothing more to watch and nothing more to do. It remember me that little comics stories that exists on some newspapers
Overall: 4/10
The animation and the music, opening and ending are really good points. But it fails hard in all of the remain aspects. I think it is a good deal only if you have nothing more better to do.

[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.
The best food that would go with this anime is 100% strawberries an maybe cherries.
Overall (7)
[Story:4 // Art:5 // Sound:6 // Characters:8 // Enjoyment:9]

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 wasdecent 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 screen time they have to make them even cuter to be loved.
The enjoyment 10/10 :
It was fun and cute to watch, as I said earlier it isn’t about the story it’s about just watching it and having fun, relaxing watching those characters doing their things, messing up, and doing every day things while watching Non and Akkun. (We won’t talk about Akkun’s room).
moonekon
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 momentsbut 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 abusive and creepy.
AliveOrb
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'sa 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/director cooked up.
This anime is best enjoyed any time you want something light-hearted and funny. It doesn't have any ridiculous ecchi moments that take you out of it, and overall I think it's masterfully relaxed and silly. You can't help but smile when watching this great show.

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 trashbut once the facade is gone, he is just that hopeless romantic who worships his girlfriend more than Starbucks frappe. Obviously, the hilarity ensues as both sides of Akkun keep on clashing with one another only for the amusement of the girlfriend herself, the adorable-yet-clever Katagiri "Nontan" Non.
The great thing about Akkun to Kanojo is that as a short-form anime, the layers are never shallow. It is a satire mocking the overused tsundere trope, it is a Shoujo anime with a niche perspective, it is a rom-com with a twist, and it is a comedy that both churns our stomach and melts our hearts. The main draw is definitely the offbeat chemistry of our odd couple Akkun and Nontan and while not all supporting characters feel cohesive, at least the narrative never diverges or pulls a belly flop. The bad news, though, is that the overall art is so-so --which is typical for short-forms-- and there is nothing brag-able in terms of music and sound. Moreover, Akkun to Kanojo is admittedly never a groundbreaking fixture to begin with and one couldn't help but wonder how it would look if it had been drawn as a long-form anime instead. When an anime is both irresistible AND insatiable, it has transformed into that Medieval-age double-edged sword. One cannot really ga-ga over it but one cannot truly hate-watch it.
Ultimately, Akkun to Kanojo is just like that very short break one would give to oneself around 3 PM. It is almost insignificant but my God, it is necessary. Perhaps the score I gave was a bit too high, but I guess I do always have the soft spot for the underdogs.

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 animebut 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 your mouth before watching another good anime.

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 asthe 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.
nerdmeetslife
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 toit. 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.

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 fita 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, and events alike, meeting expectations.
Art: The art is charming and simple, and the intros have personality due to the sheer randomness that they show. Other than that, I don't have much else to say.
Sound: Voice acting is as always, great. The tsun parts of both Akkun and sensei Takumi really work. I also do like the 2 intros.
Character: With the short episodes that they have, I felt that they did a nice job developing characters, with backstories that feature characters for one whole episode. Although, some characters could have been given more in terms of personality. Due to short episodes, I can't really write more.
Enjoyment: I enjoyed this show, mainly due to the blend of elements that they put into the show.
Overall: With the short episodes, there were many points that could have been better worked or added. However, if you can get past this, I recommend this show. Due to the short episodes, you don't have much to lose even if you end up not liking it.

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 whenI 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.
