Akiba's Trip is a comedy created for anyone proud of their inheritance of otaku/geek culture.
This anime is about a group of heroes responsible for protecting Akihabara, the cathedral of otaku/geek culture, from the attacks of mysterious aliens that want to destroy it.
In each one of the chapters, you will experience the different passions of the otaku culture, namely: a) Mangas b) Idols c) Magic Cards d) videogames e) Technology f) Japanese Food etc...
If you frequent or have frequented any of the passions mentioned below in some moments of your life events, you will find hundreds of intelligent references and funny moments that make you laugh without control.
Something significant to mention is that Akiba's Trip never makes mock the otaku culture; on the contrary, all the comedy occurs, putting the otaku culture as something to feel proud of, and that is what I acknowledge more for this anime: the ability to create a comedy about otakus but putting the otaku world as something to be proud of.
I have never been a very hard otaku or geek guy, but in my adolescence, I visited manga and technology stores and have a lot of otakus friends. I must admit that I enjoyed all the references.
Additionally, if you had the opportunity to visit Akihabara (I was in Akiharaba some years ago), you will find a lot of references to places that exist.
In a nutshell, if you feel proud of being an otaku, of our otaku heritage (like me), you will enjoy this great comedy.
