joy of joys ikuta toma squeeeeee, matsushima hatsune squeeeeee, akiba maids squeeeeee, and lots of manga, anime, and otaku-culture references.
ok, where to start, its a group of useless otaku weirdoes brought together by their cyber saivour yui to protect akihabara from the otakuist enemies of all things anime-nerd. gangs have begun beating up stray otaku and are robbing akiba of its ability to be one of the few places anime obsessed people can be themsleves.
the somewhat unwilling leader page (kazuma shunsuke) nervously stutters from under his mop of barely brushed hair, which makes for the amusing choice of giving him the catchphrase of the show.
box (ikuta toma) taiko (hoshino gen) akira (kosaka yuka) izumi (matsushima hatsune) and daruma (himura yuki) make up the rest of the group each with their own bizzare afflictions and obsessions.
the series sees them pitted off against the evil mastermind (maybe not quite so much of the master or mind for that matter) who seeks to bring akiba to its knees. everyone in this is weird but i guess daruma takes the biscuit with his constant terrible but brilliant cosplay.
it is filmed in deliberate poor quality, there are fast motion editting cuts, lots of maids (^-^) and even an out of place zombie episode.
it gets pretty dark and nasty at times and it ends a little flat but on the whole it is really very funny. i especially like page and izumi in akihabara@deep but they are all completely nuts in their own great ways. the series just gets more and more weird as it goes on and you get to see iukta toma running and shouting alot which is always good. as usual he has me in stitches.
dont expect it to be serious or believable - its akihabara after all.
