At least, that's the impression I got from watching this OVA.īased off of a seven volume manga series by Ecchi artist Takehito Mizuki, who is also known for drawing the series "Otomari Honey", Indian Summer is supposed to be a comedy of errors. It really did, honest! It just tried it's very best to become a hentai. It's a three episode OVA, with each episode running close to 25 minutes in length. As of, both releases are slightly under $20 on Amazon. ADV released the original DVD seen left of this text back in 2009, but Sentai Filmworks is releasing a new HD print February 2016. Anime Network requires it's own subscription if you are watching via Roku, but if you are watching via PC, MAC or Laptop, you will need a Hulu+ login, as the website siphons the stream from Hulu. Hulu requires a Hulu+ subscription for viewing. Indian Summer currently airs on Hulu and The Anime Network. This is one beverage you'll want to pass on. Don t even get me started on the relationship between Budoko and Misaki, which in the OVA becomes (I'm gonna puke typing this) Loli rape in one of the bath segments.Īkikan starts off as an interesting concept, but quickly turns into a fiasco. Even the OVA is slopping over with an unreasonable amount of grotesque imagery. NONE!! But also no direction and a plot that just falls flat with a cliche ending. Not one legal age, consensual segment in the whole damn show. I can't understand HOW this got a TV-14 rating, when most of the content is rape. Mixed in with the fowl taste of these teen angst antics are unbelievable amounts of nudity and molestation. Her owner is a house cat for some reason. This is the one that is later named after Miku Hatsune. The show comes to a head with Mixed Juice, who tries to absorb all of the Akikans inside of her own body, to become an evil yet dull drink. And your human girlfriend-but-not-but-kind-of-but-not joins your Akikan in hating you and beating the pulp out of you, but also wants your affections. In which case, you have an Akikan that hates you, but can't live without you. The Akikans call their owners "master" and then the underage owner decides whether or not that relationship will grow beyond the boundaries of slave to master. The show is basically about sex-slavery in a can. All of them are known as "juice drinks" (Juice in Japan doesn't have to mean fruit juice, it can be soda or any other alcohol-free drink in a can) and each one creates a romantic, but often violent bond with their "owners". High School and Junior High School kids find these mysterious "Akikans" non-alcoholic, soft drink beverages that when opened, kiss you and turn into human girls with super powers. Wait, what the fuck am I watching?Īnd that's pretty much how the rest of the series goes. He breaks into Kakeru's house looking for the soda-girl, only to find Kakeru and decide to rape him. She replies by hitting him with an energy blast, which she will do every few minutes for the rest of the series.īut before we can even figure out how a soda can just became a pretty girl, in walks Hidehiko, a government agent and complete and total stranger in his 40's or 50's. How does he approach the new girl in his apartment? By trying to rape her of course! Wait, what the fuck? One day, the self-proclaimed virgin (who bears a striking resemblance to Digimon's Taichi) buys a can of melon soda from a vending machine.īut after taking a sip after a hot shower, the can turns into a beautiful girl, who appears in Kakeru's first kiss. (Voiced by Jun Akiyama, who is Koro Sensei in Assassination Classroom!!) kakeru lives alone, raises himself, and is severely unhappy with his life. Unfortunately, in order to get a quick listen to my favorite Vocaloid, I had to sit through one of the most uncomfortable shows possible.Īkikan follows the strange life of a 16 year old boy named Kakeru. That's pretty cool, since this show came out in 2009, only two years after Miku debuted and right at the start of her underground popularity. Miku "sings" the ending theme song in episode twelve, and even has a character re-named "Miku" in her honor. So when i heard there was an anime on two of my Roku apps that features her voice in the ending credits for an episode or two, I just had to check it out for myself. My favorite is Vocaloid 2's Miku Hatsune. There are 12 episodes and one OVA special.Īs everyone knows, I am a HUGE Vocaloid fan. The 2009 anime was first released in the United States in 2012. Akikan is currently available on The Anime Network LEGALLY for FREE and on Hulu Plus with a paid subscription.
