Is it a requirement
for every season to have at least one 4-koma comedy anime? Well at the very
least I'm glad that this season's 4-koma has actually caught my attention. When
it's romance + comedy + Okamoto Nobuhiko,
I guess there's no doubt I'm sticking to this show.

Anyway, this 4-koma
centralizes on Io and Tsumiki, Tsumiki's interest on Io and their 3 fancy
friends who always picks on them and goes nosebleed all over the episodes. Of
course, unlike the other 4-koma anime that's going on my mind right now, this
one has romance which came in a good plus for me. Definitely this won't get
anywhere near the top of my list this season but I'm pretty positive to the
idea that I'll be sticking to this show until it finishes. Though honestly
speaking, the first episode didn't really caught my attention. It was funny but
that's it. The comedies right there were a little weak that the first time I
watched this, I stopped half-way through. Now, I watched these two episodes
straight and was really happy with the 2nd episode which was cut into 2-parts.
The café-part and the Valentines-part. AND both were equally funny.

As for the
characters, I'd say that as a regular comedy anime, they don't have any depth
or anything at all. They're mainly there for comedic purposes (that's what I
believe). They're pretty typical to me. A couple of anime popped in to my head
when I was looking at the characters particularly the female characters.
Anyway, I won't play favorites for this one since I really like all of them BUT
this'll turn into a really long post if I get on with all of them. So I'll
focus on the two main characters, Otonashi Io (Okamoto Nobuhiko) and Miniwa
Tsumiki (Ookubo Rumi).
There's one thing I'd like to start with here, I personally think Io knows that
Tsumiki likes him. HAHA. Other than being voiced by Okamoto, I personally like
Io because I actually have the fetish for silent characters :D That is why I
also like Tsumiki. I really like it whenever they tease her to Io and he small
voice actually reminds me of Tooru which is
voiced by Aoi
Yuuki.
Art and
animation-wise, I don't really have any complains. I love the moe drawings of
each character AND their nosebleeds! xD I like it how Io's melow Okamoto voice
fits well with how he looks. The background art (and background characters)
reminds me of Baka to Test and it's really fitting for
this style of anime.

Overall, I had fun
watching the first two episodes of Acchi Koicchi.
It's not really something recommended to watch for this season but it's
definitely a good breather anime when you're tensed up and all. It's got some
pretty expected comedy and cute romance :3
