Akebi-čan no sailor fuku

I am pretty pissed! Akebi's Sailor Uniform could have been the best new anime series of the winter’s releases and gotten a five-star rating if it had maintained the depth and strength of the last two episodes. The animation and soundtrack were very enjoyable; some shots were stunning! Even the narrative has an undeniable charm. The subject matter of finding friends is presented in a pleasant atmosphere and in a fun way, plus, it is also quite moving. Unfortunately, I only really enjoyed the last two episodes, which I thought were almost perfect. The rest of the season was quite weak in comparison; some situations seemed a bit strange and out of place within the overall anime series. It turned out differently from what I would have liked. My initial idea was that Akebi's Sailor Uniform could have at least gotten a strong four stars, like 8/10. It could have even been a top series for me from the very first episode if only one of the anime's creators (and it is probably Mr. Hiro himself) had not decided to bring in all his weird fetishes! We are obviously dealing with a person who has an unhealthy fascination with women's legs. I think he is the type of gentleman who solicits pictures of naked feet from female streamers on OnlyFans. Or at least that is how obsessive I found it, as I got shots of women's feet at least twice every episode, and they were even part of the opening. OK, I understand that fan service for horny people is in every other anime series nowadays, and I guess I should be glad that it finally got to those who like women better from their waist down. However, I think it should somewhere where it makes some sense and not in this show! This show was trying for a nice atmosphere, putting a beautiful and colorful scene in every other shot that looks lovely and heartfelt while interspersing it with a woman's feet here and there, or some other weird detail of a woman's body like lips, etc., because it seems like a perfect union. However, it is distracting for those who do not share that particular obsession, just as cramming in any other fan service would be. It is disturbing because such random shots without context do not fit in such a pleasantly paced anime series. What about the nail clipper scene in the first episode? Perhaps most people have tried that in private at some point; however, I am not sure it is good to put that in the show and the first episode. Someone's weird tastes ruined a great anime series, and I was wondering WTF I was watching and what it was all about. Only the last two episodes convinced me that Akebi's Sailor Uniform deserves at least a 7/10, and at the same time annoyed me even more by showing me how great the whole thing could have easily been.
