Get a boner... become Superman.
That's prettymuch the MC in a nutshell. He may not be all that strong, or smart, or durable, but the second you make him horny, suddenly he turns into some kind of Lupin II ripoff who's just so smart and strong and skilled and just... no. Just, no.
Our heroine Aria is a Short Girl, which means she has to exhibit more than normal self-loathing over her height and the fact her boobs are so much smaller than other girls her age at the school. Add in other classmates, including other hot women who are absolutely based off common anime tropes and you've got a lackluster anime to where the solution to the problem of the week is figuring out how the girls can make the MC horny to launch him into Superman mode and keep him there.
The VAs, though I imagine want ot…

Hidan no Aria es una serie que brilla por su energía, carisma y ritmo constante desde el primer episodio. Su primera temporada logra combinar muy bien la acción, la comedia romántica y el misterio escolar, creando una experiencia entretenida que nunca pierde dinamismo. La química entre los personajes principales, especialmente entre Kinji y Aria, es uno de los mayores atractivos del anime, ya que aporta tanto tensión como humor en cada interacción.
Uno de los puntos más destacables de la temporada es su protagonista, Aria, quien sobresale por su personalidad fuerte, encantadora y explosiva. A su lado, Kinji funciona como un excelente contrapeso, dando lugar a momentos muy divertidos y a escenas que mantienen al espectador enganchado. La serie sabe cuándo tomarse en serio y cuándo apostar…

Hidan no Aria failed to live up to its potential. The series struggled to find the right balance between its ecchi/fanservice elements and the more serious aspects of its story.
On the positive side, the action sequences were generally well-animated and enjoyable to watch. The varied array of weaponry and fighting styles employed by the characters added some variety to the combat scenes. However, these exciting moments were often undercut by the show's overreliance on gratuitous fanservice and sexual humor that felt tonally jarring and out of place.
The characterization was also hit-or-miss. While some characters like Kinji had interesting backstories and arcs, many of the supporting cast felt one-note and existed primarily as vehicles for fanservice. The relationships between characters…

I don't know why many people are complaining about the AA version. I see people crying a lot about this only because it's not a sequel of the first anime.
Why would you want a sequel of the first version of this? I see people saying this is kinda 'cringe' because they're lesbians (i don't see anything wrong with it, but idk, just otakus averages being that) and ironically the first version was even more 'cringe'.
An Aria who gets shy about childish things, having a virgin protagonist and a basic trama that is even less interesting and more predectible than AA.... that's what is the first version of the anime.
AA not just has better characters, it improved the personality of Aria, she is much better, mature and individual in this ainme, and it's the same for the ex protagonist even if he…

Overview:
"Aria the Scarlet Ammo" is what happens when you ram a typical action movie flick into the harem anime genre, and throw in a bunch of random supernatural elements for good measure. There's plenty of guns, fist fights and explosions to get your attention, but mechanically the series is average in just about every way, whether it be the story, art, voice acting or characters. Nevertheless, it's not particularly lacking in anything either, and for all of its problems, it still has just enough fun and thrills to make it enjoyable.
Story (6/10):
"Aria the Scarlet Ammo" is set in Butei High, a boarding school where students are trained in combat as an effort to counter the worsening crime rate around the world. As Butei, students are permitted to arrest any criminals they come across…

I was very excited for Hidan no Aria since I really liked Shakugan no Shana. The characters aren't given much depth and the story just...ends. There's something very wrong with the pacing and literally nothing get truly resolved. In the beginning I enjoyed it, but once I got to the end it left much to be desired. I was hopeful because there was a "second season" according to funimation, but it's not even the same thing. The characters are completely different- except Aria, but she's not even the main character. The story isn't about her. There was no need to even put her name in the title. Hidan no Aria isn't a a great series because there's a lack of depth. A second season could have added to the story, but since one does not exist. I'm thinking that manga will probably tell the story a l…

I first found this anime playing an osu! map about 3 weeks ago, which featured the OP for Hidan no Aria AA, the "sequel" to the original Hidan no Aria, which is this. As of writing this review, I am yet to watch Hidan no Aria AA, and I am debating whether I should due to it being made by a different studio.
After reading through the concept for the series when searching this up, I was sceptical whether to watch it or not as it seemed very action-based, which usually isn't my thing. But after watching the first episode, I was glad I decided to start it as I found it very enjoyable and fun to watch. I recommend you stop here and go and watch it, as my opinions might affect how you watch this anime, but for those who either don't care or have already watched it, here is my review:

I really like this type of anime, an action romance anime with an op loli MC accompanied by a pro male MC. Unfortunately, there are only a few anime like this such as Black bullet, Shakugan no Shana and Machine-Doll wa Kizutsukanai (that is all I can think of) yea there are not that many so Hidan no Aria is probably the last one of this genre for me.
Although it may be the last but it is also one of the best, it was a very thrilling ride from the beginning towards the end not the actions though, the loli. Aria is such a kawaii tsundere loli but most of all, she is the sexiest loli I have ever seen, I get to see her "reveal" a couple of times and I was like "I lost" and I turned to hysteria mode then I imagine stuff with 30 times more brain cells than average person.

"Listen up, I have decided you should become my slave"
---- Aria
Yeah if that isn't all the warning you need not to watch this show I don't know what more I can say to help you make the decision.
Aria Kanzaki maybe the most ridiculous and ulikable character to ever grace broadcast television, and I include Eichman and Hitler in the running. She is incredibly poorly written horribly inconsistent and downright annoying. Quite literally whenever she opens her mouth she kills the show and seeing as she is the name character and one of the two primary main characters that's a real problem.
Kinchi Toyhama is nearly as bad. I can't begin to say how sick I am of anime leading men, who not only can't act in their own interests but in his case he doesn't even have any interests. Just how the hel…

I really liked this show. With the generally negative reviews, I thought I'd tell you why.
It seems like the show has an average score of around 7, but the reviews seem to run a bit more negative. It does seem like the sort of show a critic would pan, considering that it has ecchi and harem elements, and doesn't really attempt anything new.
However, I don't really hold those things against a show, per se, although a show attempting something new and pulling it off can score pretty major points by pulling it off well. This show executes on what it does pretty well, *given* that it knows that it didn't really attempt to break any new, innovative ground. It has cute, appealing characters, and I've never seen anything anywhere reference the pretty awesome sound of the show, although the OP s…

Hidan no Aria (2011)
The show itself doesn't do anything wrong in its overall premise. Although there are some issues with it in terms of what doesn't make sense.
My biggest gripe with the show is Kinji because it is just not possible for me to like him as a character. He is rude, impolite and just not nice but for such silly reasons. He can recognise a girl's feelings and one that he likes back yet acts all high and mighty. She may be scared to admit it but that's her character. At times I do think ah he isn't too bad he then ruins it very quickly.
Other things in terms of what didn't really make sense were in Episode 7 Aria is the true hero she did what no one thought of, she turned on the lights and then the enemy lost the advantage. Kinji and Shirayuki stumbling round in the dark w…

If you can accept that high schoolers can legally run around with guns and katanas and do police work, you will find that the rest of the universe becomes rather plausible. However the mechanics sadly lack consistency. The show tends to treat Hysteria mode as a deus ex machina kind of feature. Most problems faced by the protagonist are solved through the power of his boner, which comes across as a hindrace for the character developement. This is especially true in his interactions with female characters. More often than not, conflicts and disagreements are solved by him going into HSS and the women melting away like wax in his hands. One can consider this as a integral part of the story but I did not come around feeling, that this often does not give the female characters the credit they d…

Hi!
This is my first rewiew, yata!!
I watched the show Aria the Scarlet ammo, mostly because I highly enjoyed another show; Black bullet. I was looking for a serie similar to that one. One thing they had in common; namely that there is a younger girl and an older boy (at least in my opinion..), but that is that.
I enjoyed the show, mostly because of the relation between the two main characters.
The relation also develops and deepens over time, which I find probabel. They get their assignments but a lot of other, unexpected things happens. Those things make the pair go to a higher level and that is also nice to see, in my opinion.

Scrolling through reviews, I was almost turned away from this anime. But one thing I find interesting about a lot of these reviews is now petty some of them can be at time. Such as if an anime doesn't conform to their view of the perfect anime is, it's trash. I however like viewing anime with an open mind and I love to turn people onto decent anime. Not perfect anime, but anime you can sit down and watch and enjoy, laugh, smile, feels something . Anything at all. So I'm going to review this anime and I hope my review inspires you to watch and decide for yourself.
The story of this anime Is not too complex. It's actually very funny, but also very quirky as well. Basically a school exists for people who are interested in certain fields of combat/investigation. Our characters are decendants…

- Hello guys, I finally bring you my review of Hidan on Aria, starting with the story, which does not stand out much, is not very different from other anime stories of this style; the story can even deliver some very interesting moments, but still has some very exaggerated moments of action and unfortunately this bothers, but otherwise is a good story.
- On the technical side, unfortunately this is the weakest point of Hidan in Aria, the technical part is very weak as a whole, both the animation and mainly the visual are very weak, however what really bother is the CG used in some scenes of action, the GC is simply horrible and unfortunately it bothers a lot; already the direction is very good, mainly in the moments of comedy, it manages to deliver very amusing scenes, already in the scen…

Hidan no Aria is the cousin of Shakugan no Shana. It's made by the same studio and has a lot of the same elements as Shakugan no Shana. The difference is that it takes place in a more realistic world, and instead of swords, characters battle with guns. With all of that said, I enjoyed Hidan no Aria very much. I enjoyed it as much as Shakugan no Shana, although for different reasons. Shakugan no Shana had great storytelling and characters evolving over time. Hidan no Aria is more about dumb fun. It's stupid, yet, entertaining.
The story takes place in a time where an elite group of detectives, known as "Butei", are the watchdogs assigned to take down crime. One of the detectives is Kinji Tooyama. There's nothing too special about Kinji, which is why he gets the surprise of his life when h…

Hidan no Aria is a bit of a conundrum for me, I can sense what kind of niche audience it was trying to reach, and I can bet it failed. Even though the genre mixture of Action, Comedy, Romance, and School can work fine together, you still have to be careful with it.
You can have a anime that has lots of action and serious moments, and plenty of comedy, you just need to know when to place where.
I'll be straightforward, stuff I didn't like:
-Out of place/Too much added and bland comedy.
-Characters
I probably would've enjoyed this anime more if it was just a episode-by-episode anime (I liked how the OVA was) about Main-Boy and Tsun-girl go with highschool pals and complete missions together as Butei. But unfortunately no.
With anime like this you it's hard to have both cliche anime come…

For me this wasn't that bad. When i see other peoples complaints about this i can see why some don't like this. But i did actually get some enjoyment out of this. Even with some problems.
There are a couple things that are wrong with this but i'll just list a couple.
1. The MC for most of the season is kind of annoying and an idiot. He also tends to be really rude to his childhood friend who has a crush on him and is nothing but nice.
2. There are a good amount of stories that are brought up that are never resolved or are given any actual effort put into some. Even near the end we are introduced to a character that we've never seen before and is hinted has a history with the MC yet we are only given two scenes with her that don't provide anything.
3. There is a love triangle happeni…

The Story:
There has been a recent notification that a murderer is killing Boutei, a term for students of the Boutei Academy, who solve crimes or are trained in weaponry to solve problems. The story unfolds more in action sequences then anything, basically, this character is introduced, then another is, wow, they have a beef with their individual families, etc. The story is pretty exciting! Without spoiling, I will say you will enjoy it as certain weapons are introduced etc.
The Art - is very different from what you would call "generic" anime, the characters are drawn differently, in a more seasonal way, and the action scenes just fit well with it. While the shadowed drawn parts may TRY to make the character seem sinister, it just comes off as cute to me with how its drawn. Its definitely…

Story - The story is casual. Male protagonist Kenji goes to a high school for renegades, where he meets a tsundere character, Aria, who partners up with him for missions. Yeah.
Art - I really don't know what to say about the art. It's alright.
Sound - The sound is good, especially the opening theme. That's gotta be one of the best I've seen. The ending theme is okay too.
Characters - Kenji is your typical main protagonist, Aria is your typical tsundere, and Shirayuki is you typcial yandere.
Enjoyment - I liked it. Definitely wasn't the best series of all time or anything, but it was good.
In short: Aria the Scarlet Ammo is your average anime. To me, it doesn't really stand out from anything. It's not like it has a unique story or characters. I enjoyed it, but it's average.
Overal…
