Akiba’s Trip: The animation fanservice review episode 6

 

There is nothing wrong with treating your computer like a daughter.

 

An episode mainly focused on feels but some fanservice does show itself near the end.

 

After getting a BSOD too many times Tamotsu decides to buy a new computer. Also this is why you should turn off automatic updates.

A new store in Akihabara has fortunately started selling new computers cheaply to anyone who lives in the city and so he goes there after hearing about it.

While he is there looking Kage suggests to him to build his own rather than using a store built one so that it is unique and his own(he also should have said how you would avoid spending hours uninstalling all the bullshit store bought computers come with). Since Tamotsu isn’t familiar with the PC master race he has Kage help him build one.

While shopping for parts they see a guy who is famous for finding good parts and then hides them under stuff so he can come back later after comparing prices. After watching him find something and leave they rush to find what he hid so they can take it instead since following him is a good way to find good cheap parts.

The same character from Akiba’s Trip Festa! which has still yet to start. Why they keep using this same character rather than the others I have no idea seeing as how she was ranked last place so many times on the weekly character rankings. Up until the end of last year the twitter account for the dmm game would post a weekly chart showing how each character ranked. I assume it calculated ranks based on all the character’s affection points across everyone’s saved date. This was the last one they did. So far only the number 1 and 5 character has appeared in the show.

After completing their shopping and getting the computer setup Tamotsu realizes he didn’t buy an OS. Latu then shows him hers that she made that he can use instead which uses an AI.

After talking with it he decides to name it Pyuko.

Arisa notices Matome’s tsundereness after she gets mad that Tamotsu is spending so much time with his computer. After denying it she forces him to come with her on patrol.

More Festa! shilling. Its kind of funny that they have this so prevalent in the show because they had intended on having the game launched before the show even aired and yet halfway through and it still has yet to begin.

After coming back Latu shows them that she has created a way for Pyuko to go along with him outside.

You will never have a computer that will give you a hug.

Later when Matome wants to go on patrol again she finds out he left with Pyuko.

Arisa makes her own clothes apparently as well as we see that costume soon.

Did you notice it? Look at the vertical ad on the left of the Toranoana building. Let’s zoom in.

Look familiar? Guess what show.  Its Masou HxH and also Illiya next to it. Its no surprise since they just animated the exact real life building which means when they were sketching Akihabara for the show they must have been doing it around August or September because of that Masou HxH ad. For comparison here is the real life pic.

Tamotsu shows Pyuko around Akihabara including the most important places……

Kati time.

Matome spys on him while patroling while he is at the maid cafe with Pyuko.

The next day all the PCs that were sold by the store having that sale have turned into robots and have started to attack so they head back to the store realizing it probably involves the Bugged Ones.

Pyuko is able to pick the lock so they can get in.

The owner of the store admits to selling the computers cheap so she could take over Akihabara using her robots disguised as computers.

After beating her employees they fight her.

Not only is she fat in reality but right before dying she activates something giving all her robots a command.

Latu tells them all the robots are gathering together at a location and so they head there.

The robot computers all fuse together to create a giant one with a message from the owner programmed into it for when she died.

After Arisa gets her ass kicked Matome tries to fight it.

Matome is beaten leaving only Tamotsu.

He then beats it by unplugging it from the wall.

This causes the machine to start counting down till it explodes.

Pyuko realizing what will happen grabs the robot and flies into space sacrificing herself in the explosion to save the city.

Acquire-chan showing up 3 times in Latu’s story. I couldn’t find her this time but Sanya did. Didn’t expect them to place her in literally the last minute of the episode.

Tamotsu is later depressed over Pyuko’s death till he gets cheered up by Latu(since lolis have the power to cheer people up) by telling him Pyuko wanted to save the city because of all the memories people have there including his since her job was to save data and people’s memories are like data and that would make the city like a database.

After credits scene. At first I thought it would be revealed that Latu had backed Pyuko up and she would just restore her which would have made sense since you know she is a computer so a nightly backup would have made sense. But that doesn’t happen and she just stays dead to end the episode on a sad note. So I guess this is Akiba’s Trip’s equivalent of a Jurassic Bark type episode of the show. It’s always odd when a comedy show ends with a sad episode.

The show is now a little under halfway over since there are 13 episodes. Next week looks to be a maid/butler type episode and looking at the villains in the opening we still have three more after that which appear to be just villain of the day types. So I’m going to assume the main story stuff won’t be happening till episode 11,12, and 13 since by the time we reach them there will only be two people from the opening left. After the remaining 4 are finished the remaining two from the opening are a character that looks like Matome (probably a sister maybe) and the final boss so I could see them having the final 3 episodes based around those two. So until then there are probably still going to be random episodic type episodes.

 

He should have took her into the porn shop so she could learn to be a lewd computer. She would secretly be looking up porn when everyone is asleep to learn about it. Eventually Latu would discover it and would fit her with some attachments so that she can make use of her lewd knowledge and be even more help and truly be the best type of computer there is.
