| Personally, Akebi comes across such a likeable girl and she's absolutely adorable. Honestly, of all the Anime shows that I'm following from Attack on Titan, Kimetsu No Yaiba, My Dress Up Darling etc... she's one of the most fascinating characters out there. The beautiful and refreshing animation does add to her character, imo. I can watch Akebi do her thing all day and find it so much fun than a screaming protag fighting a demon or a dragon. Her personality has a bit of a Cardcaptor Sakura feel to her, does she? Consider me a fan of Akebi, who else does? |

xSatya said: We dont like the whole cringe fetish anime in general not just akebi OP's talking about the MC, not the show itself. |
| Idk man, she feels kinda your usual cheerful protagonist. I do like a cheerful protagonist, but it's quite typical in this kind of show. |
| I agree. Akebi is probably my favorite character this season. :) |
 |
Alright then, can't argue with that |
Of course I like!! |

Yeah sometimes it's nice just seeing something chill and intriguing, like a nice SoL main character, while I personally dont find much joy in the show as Attack on Titan (unsimilarly to you), Akebi is a pretty good break from it all. |
 |
| I like Akebi's personality but something about the artstyle though it's very good can be very weird idek how to describe it, something feels like it's too much, but that's just me.. |
| Yeah, she's a nice person. She'd be a great friend. |

| If you are from South East Asia, then I request you, when you will start an anime, you search if it is available on Muse Asia and Ani-one Asia, before looking through piracy websites |
| literally just your everyday cheerful protagonist. if you want more, watch Fruits Basket, Aria, and plenty of CGDCT out there |
| She just annoying to me and kind of too much to handle more than anything. |
| I also enjoy it. getting a little tired of the perverts who are fetishizing her. jus over some damn toes. we see you and we know who the real perverts are. hint. it isn't the people who made the anime at all. |

Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
Inspectah16 said: i had to take a break from the show after Akebi became a sexual predator. This event never happened. |
Inspectah16 said: I guess her pushing the girl to take photos of her upskirt and her pushing her to let her touch her wasn't... totally normal classroom behavior for early middle school. One of the most longstanding and age-old known truisms is that kids like exploring their own and each others' bodies as they're discovering the world. It doesn't make them sexual predators (if you were being serious). You'd be surprised what goes on in middle schools then! I think a lot of people who are older and out of the age bracket either tend to forget what middle school was actually like for them or lived and grew up with a very sheltered upbringing. I went to a middle school/junior high in a suburban, upper middle class, safe and virtually crime-free small town, and you would be surprised at how explicit, far more than anything portrayed in this series, 10 - 13 year-olds are and can be. And it wasn't a bad school or bad town. It's ranked highly in the state in a state that's ranked in the top of the country (in the U.S.). This is how many kids behaved. And it didn't mean they were sexual predators (at least not then!). |

And it didn't mean they were sexual predators (at least not then!). This! You nailed it right here. We almost never give credit to children because they sure can be very crafty at that age. This show doesn't have any "sexual predator" crap. It's just 12 year old girls doing their thing and a lovable oddball who wants to become friendly in her ways to others. We always have that one person who may seem uncomfortable to be with but all they wanna do is be friendly in their special funny way. It's innocence and Akebi just happens to be that type of child. |
|
| yeah, it's hard not to like her |
Akebi is the perfect blend of innocence and curiosity |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
Yes, it's that kind of shows where you watch young, innocent, curious children doing stuff. The genre is slice of life after all. They are doing things I wasn't doing when I was their age. One thing I wasn't a girl living in a rural area and the other is that I was obsessed with video games and cartoons when I was 12 years old. I didn't want do any sport or go fishing. I visited other kids mainly because of video games. So it's refreshing to something else in an anime. I wasn't as excited as her about wearing a uniform or going to school for example. I like to watch this once a week. It's nice. Akebi's probably an exceptional child, but that's good. |
| I don't like her because she's too perfect. It's actually annoying how this far into the anime she's been basically flawless as a character. |

SpellboundTaoist said: 4. Her general behaviour is like other commenters already pointed out unnatural and cringy in a way that isn't obvious at first, but unmistakeable once you see it. If her behavior comes naturally to her (within the universe of the series), then isn't it natural by definition? It's not like there's one standard universal human mentality and personality type or that people like Akebi can't/don't exist. SpellboundTaoist said: Anyway I don't think the show is bad by any means, it's simply a little to polished and fllawless in a way it sometimes makes me uncomfortable to watch. As of now I'd say it's about a solid to low 6/10. This I can agree with though - Not in the rating or that it makes me uncomfortable, but in that I can easily see and understand the logic behind someone considering it too neat and pretty (not visually), nice, and perfect. But that's why Slice of Life is such a great genre and why it's great that so many different SoL series exist. While some can seem more superficially similar on the basic outline from the surface, it's often that they have little subtle nuances and differences in small things like characters' speech, interests, behavior, mannerisms, etc. that totally changes the vibe and tone of a show. That's true of all series (not solely Slice of Life), but I think the impact of it is felt more in a SoL since it lacks plot or at least doesn't center around plot, so character behavioral and personality nuances dominate the atmosphere of a series more. |
| She's your typical energetic knucklehead. I'm neutral about her. |
 |
That is why anybody can not like Akebi, yours truly included. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
SpellboundTaoist said: For some reason I find myself dislking her more and more with every new episode which is the reason why I'm looking through this thread to understand why I don't seem to like her. I usually like her character archtype and personally have watched many similar type of shows, but something about her is just so insufferable it annoys the hell out of me, yet I just can't put my finger on it. Possible reasons I discovered after looking through the replies and reflecting a little include: 1. She's just too flawless and "holy" it makes her seem artificial and fake, almost cold in a strange way. Like a moe-sage robot perhaps? lol 2. The show always makes her the center of attention even if the episode is about other characters and it's distracting; also because she's a rather flat character herself. 3. For some reason she has an almost magical instant connection with every side character possible and everyone seems to praise and love her to infinity and beyond. It gets tiring after a while. 4. Her general behaviour is like other commenters already pointed out unnatural and cringy in a way that isn't obvious at first, but unmistakeable once you see it. 5. While the show looks superb and I personally am not as put off by the character art as other people, the combination of directing and artstyle makes her seem even more fake and "holy" like a doll come to live with no flaws whatsoever. It's like nothing is allowed to taint her and her characters likeability and nuance suffers for it in my eyes. This might seem harsh, but it's not as bad as it sounds. I just had to pause frequently while watching to recover from the awkwardness and the cringe and was wondering why I felt that way., since this show should be right up my alley. Anyway I don't think the show is bad by any means, it's simply a little to polished and fllawless in a way it sometimes makes me uncomfortable to watch. As of now I'd say it's about a solid to low 6/10. Is it perhaps because she's better than your personal favorite waifu? (just asking!?) 1. She is neither flawless, (over zealous, no concept of personal space, clumsy, ungraceful) nor is she holy ( where did you even cook that idiot idea up from) 2. The show is about her 3. We get shown the connections she makes, it's one of the show's themes 4. Now you're just waffling, she's too flawless but simultaneously cringy!? It's not obvious, yet her class introduction was a deliberate set piece in cringe. 5. The people pointing out the character art have clearly never looked closely at how their personal favorite characters are drawn, have you? And what is this idiot fake and holy concept? Your analysis wasn't harsh, it was just tedious, contradictory and deeply flawed. |

Your analysis wasn't harsh, it was just tedious, contradictory and deeply flawed. Well I dont think I even have a waifu, why are you so obsessed with this concept,.... 1. Yeah thats part of what makes her obnoxious, the problem is the show never aknowledges this and just procedes to twist these flaws you perceived in a way that makes her seem faultless in the eyes of the side characters. She never gets rebuked for her actions in the show and thus she never grows in any meaningful way. In my opinion this portrayel makes her seem almost "holy" within the confines of the show, like a walking saint of sorts. 2. So the show bearing her name makes the show solely about her? She is the shows main character for sure, but she's far from the only one in it. Up until epsidoe 6 every side character simply acts as a foil for her to make her shine even brighter and thats boring. Where is the nuance in this? Have her run into a wall for once and have her subseqeuntly overcome it and grow from the experience. 3. Yeah that's basically the story up until now. I simply don't really like how these connections are established, it feels forced and somewhat unnatural to me. This also ties in with my first point. That's just my opinion you don't have to share it. 4. Maybe I didn't word it right. My point is in the show the side characters never seem to take offense at her behaviour other than some remarks here and there when she crosses the line too far. I perceive how Akebi acts as cringy and unnatural, the characters for the most part don't. 5. Well just watch the show, will you? The way they frame her visually and how the shots are composed, coupled with her almsot saintly appearence compared to other characters makes her seem "holy". Like she can not do any wrong. Thats boring and hard to watch at times. English isn't my first or even second language so there will be times when my points seem contradictory and hard to understand to others. Even reading over what I just wrote i don't think I expressed even 50% of what I actually wanted to say. Lastly don't take offense from others opinions so easily, what's the point in that? No offense taken, why would you even think that? I just think what you're writing is rubbish |
