Quality anime Akikan has attracted attention not only for its unique production values, but also for the bizarre treatment it metes out to its seiyuu. Above is the spectacle seiyuu 大久保藍子 / Aiko Okubo was reduced to, cosplaying a monkey whilst reading the ecchi bits from the original novel.
Below you see some of the previous costumes she wore whilst reading similar ecchi passages at each episode’s end:
Maid.
Nurse.
Body tights?
Is this really a positive influence on a seiyuu’s career? Not that the poor lady has much of one to ruin…

Akikan is quality anime? That's news to me.
Agreed. It's pretty stinky.
Looks like the two sir above me need to murk loar.
With the exception of the maid outfit, I think having her dress up while reading kinda ruins the hotness (Though the monkey is big lulz). TBH, this is pretty assholeish of whatever studio hired her.
Chu Chu cosplay = epic fail
Maid & Kunoichi cosplay = meh.
Nurse cosplay = win
nurse? What nurse? I only saw a maid costume... or Alice... which ever one seems better....
She should read the job description first, then decide to take the job or not. She's obviously a victim of fine print.
I need to find me the guy that writes so small that you can get away with having your cute employee dressed up as a maid..
I won't be happy until she does the Salsa dance from Mother 3. :(
Where's teh Video?
MEGANE FTW!!!
yuku yuke monkey dance ?
where is the source?
is this somekind of abuse??
Poor them. lol
Anything to push sells or advertising.
Not that Akikan needs a push.
Nurse was pretty win, I don't see the purpose of them doing this though.
She looks kind of cute as the nurse if you ask me
cute monkey costume. but the others are eh..
Eh? I rather liked her nurse. Her maid wasn't too bad too. I think the monkey and the body suit are fail.
its not that i liked her that much just the monkey costume was lulsy
and why are they doing this to her?
For their own amusement, I guess.
That is why is show is fucking crazy funny too.
Isn't the body suit one the same kind of suit those old diver ladies wear when diving for urchins or something?
First thing that came to my mind is weird purple suites from Welcome to the NHK.
Missing the silly red hat though.
Maybe they're having her cosplay as a monkey to bring out the "wild" side of her so she can do the ecchi bits better.
Lol I second that. Besides I don't see any "abuse" or "cruelty" they have the right to work or not.
They're gonna have to do a lot better than this to get people to watch their mediocre show.
