Acchi Kocchi

"Over There, Over Here"

Episodes:12

Aired: Apr 6, 2012 - Jun 29, 2012

Acchi Kocchi is a very simple slice of life anime. Don't expect a lot plot because it's almost non existent in this show. It's a show about a group of 5 friends just interacting with each other and living their student lives/ The show however do focus more on the relationship between our two lovers Tsumiki Miniwa and Otonashi Io. Tsumiki the main heroine is a kitten-like-sometimes-tsundere-cute-girl who is shy about showing her true feelings to Io (the silent type, perfect and cool guy who always looks after Tsumiki). Their feelings for each other are kinda obvious early on (Tsumiki's shyness and Io being dense are what holds them back from being real lovers) and it just kinds of develop throughout the series

...out comes the Neko-mimi!!

Side characters are okay, they consistently show up and have substantial amount of screen time each episode (specially the 3 other members of the group). Mayoi Katase the resident mad scientist will give you good laughs by her weird and funny behavior and her equally outrageous inventions, Inui Sakaki the other male in the group is kinda your typical male character, a pervert who loves challenging Io to games and lastly Haruno Hime the nose bleeding loyal supporter who just can't get enough of Io and Tsumiki's cute relationship. Don't expect a lot from this show, it's a slice-of-life romance comedy (with very light plot, almost the same things happen each episode) that'll give you some laughs here and there and if you dig the romance between Io and Tsumiki you'll enjoy this. If you don't like light romance better avoid this because the comedy isn't that plentiful and you might find yourself bored for some stretches of this show.
