Introduction
Aika is a smart and athletic high school girl. She is so competent that she successfully passes the salvagers license test, obtaining a C-class license. Yet, she is young and hotheaded, so much so that Gota still treats her as a child. Due to this personality, no one is willing to hire her for salvaging jobs.
Since she had taken the trouble to get her license, she decides to post an ad in her school to attract clients. She manages to get the attention of Erika, a daughter of a rich family and the leader of the treasure hunting club. She asks Aika to salvage something from the sea and Aika delightfully accepts the request.
However, upon seeing the state-of-the-art submarine loaded onto Erika's private cruiser and discovering their destination, Aika realizes the terrible nature of her assignment. This results in a clash with a group of high school girls in the southern islands.
Who is the mysterious girl named Karen? So begins Aika's newest challenge!

Not gonna lie, for the most part AIKa R-16 was stupid fun. You know, when things are stupid. And fun.
The most enjoyable part is characters dynamic. A developing friendship is shown, and the chemistry between the main heroines is, needless to say, entertaining. The humour may be a bit hit-or-miss, yet you barely have time to become bored because ‘Virgin Mission’ is fast-paced and energetic. It throws jokes, action, fanservice, and even becomes serious when necessary.
The plot is by no means perfect. I'm sure one can easily spot some holes. Does that really matter though? ‘Virgin Mission’ is not too predictable and the storyline is interesting and well-thought for an anime which is not a dark-toned mystery. In fact, this anime has neither bloody violence nor gore. M…

The AiKa saga never ceases to amaze me now that I'm taking the time to watch it.
I'm impressed by the amount of stupid analysis you can read online from people who are paralyzed by the fan service and can't make a good story.
AiKa R -16 is a prequel that tells us about the first big adventure of our famous protagonist. Without wasting time, we are introduced to an intelligent, adventurous, but above all, brave AiKa.
Three important concepts can be highlighted during the development of the plot.
The first is the formation of a trio of tough friends, AiKa, Eri and Karen. The author understood that he only had three chapters and thanks to that he does not waste time developing the characters. In a short time you will get to feel their personality and that will hook you with the story.

Hey, I found the retarded child of Ikkitousen and Elfenlied! Wanna know about it? No? Well too bad I'm gonna tell you anyway.
Story-1:
Some girls are doing something....and school.....pantyshots everywhere......uhhh......teh maincharacter looks like a trap.....and....uuhh.....Honestly, I have no clue what this show is about. So I'm gonna tell you how i found this gem (Probably more interesting than the storyline anyway): I haven't had a girlfriend in about a year, sooo, I'm kinda desperate.....Anyways, I was checking for some updates on my favorite pornsite - yeah, I'm actually doing that regularly - when I saw three recently added episodes there.
I thought "Hey, three episodes, that's gonna be great material" (I think you know what I mean). So I watched the first episode, thinking it w…

Aika R-16: Virgin Mission really has so little to do with its predecessor that why they even bothered to name it such and put it into the Aika franchise is a mystery. About all it shares with the original are a few of the character names and a lot of exposed panties. We get to see younger versions of characters that we really didn’t care about to begin with. Overall though it manages to be better than its original pretty much across the board.
Story wise, Aika tries at least tries to have a basic plot silly as it is. What it does have is not terribly original. What we end up with is the young Aika going to a private high school and learning how to be a submarine pilot so she can be a salvager. This is important back story because salvaging was oh-so importing in the original. (Yes, I am b…

I hadn't seen an anime as loaded with fanservice and ecchiness like this one in a long time! Basically, all female characters (95% of the complete series) end up nude at some point, revealing their breasts and butts, in awkward positions. If you like these types of things, you'll be very grateful towards this 3-episodes OVA.
The story is very silly, light, and pointless. Art style is good, better than many other similar animes, and they focused a lot in the depiction of the female body. Sound is fine; the voice acting seemed to be alright for the most part, and I can't recall at all the opening and ending songs (that's how good they were). Character development is very vague for most of them. The main 3 characters, however, are explained enough as for the viewer to understand them.

Aika R-16: Virgin Mission: A short review.
As guilty a pleasure as one could get, Aika surely caters to those of us who enjoy fanservice. The story in and of itself is obviously far from impressive, but let's be honest, that's not what you're here for. You're here to see some cute, half-naked girls, which the show delivers; as promised. Oh, and more pantyshots than even the most perverted of us could ask for.
Story: 2/10. There's very little to be said here, like the original Aika, this is not the area in which the series excels. It's basically just "make up some excuse to get the show going."
Art: 6/10. The art is an obvious improvement from its predecessor (that's a given, I suppose) and it does look pretty decent, a huge plus since the series if indeed very focused on aesthetics. (Ye…
