| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp so we get a little background story about Akari this episode. Cute although not pleasant with also Momoka involved. But I gotta say, it was a bad idea to mess with Aria or her friends because that evoked Akari's rage to fight :o  |

| So things have started. I have to say the start of this episode was a bit rushed. But it seems the enemy's objective is clear and she is not going to be taken out easily. Which should make next week interesting. |
| Didn't expect that Akari's past would be this intense. She is a real prodigy of the Mamiya... and with the context, looks like the poison Kyochikutou is talking about is the killing technique. Not a real poison. It's getting really good. >.< I wish we could have seen more of Aria and Kinji's operation before Aria got hospitalized. |

| can they just continue the goddamn origanstory!!! after watching this episode, now i really want them to contiue the original story. The operation in this episode, operation AA was so stupid. Akari threw a flashbang but she didn't wear a anti flashbang glasses or something like that.... and she told her that she was surrounded by her friends, did she really need to say that? And in the end, how can that woman with black hair was floating in the air? |
 |
| Finally, After 9 episodes the plot is beginning. Things are starting to go down and we finally learnt about Akari's past. Really liked how Aria asked the girls to recite the Butei code, It was cool. So it has begun, Operation AA, Though the name was very predictable :P. |
 |
| Aria at this point in the timeline should be depressed about the scar on her forehead and just of had a big argument with Kinji becoming disillusioned at Kinji being her partner and working with others. She should not be in a decent mental state right now and her frame of mind should not be one speaking about working as a team. Her whole mood in this episode is just so disjointed from the main series and does not match up and she should be swarmed with thoughts of the Butei killer and her own mothers sentence along with how pressed for time she is. |

Wait, so this is the point when Aria gets the forehead scar? Then why the hell was her hairstyle the post-scar covering her forehead style the whole time? I don't get it... I'm just gonna pretend that the original and AA are alternate universe and save myself some headache... |
 |
| This entire season has been pretty mediocre, but honestly it's actually getting really good just towards the end here |
  |
| For more information that the anime wont tell or only happens in the future season 2 IF there is one, Mamiya clan is actually not small. They also consist of other branch families too, with Akari's family as the main head. Akari's father also has 2 wives if i remember correctly, her mom as main and the other wife settle as a branch. Just like the old tradition clan in Japan, Step-siblings cant talk normally with Akari's because of position difference... which sprout antagonism later after Kyouchikutou incident =( After Mamiya clan is destroyed 2 years ago by MANY I-U members like Vlad,Patra and ... (anime only showed Kyochikutou sadly), the families separated all over Japan. |

| Having not finished the original series (and maybe it's for the better at this point in time), I can say that this has finally taken a delightfully serious route. However... with only two episodes left, just how good can it get? Literally everyone wants a piece of Akari in this show, even her enemies, lmao. I really want to see Akari show her true power in the next episode though, since Kyouchikutou seems like no pushover. |
| An alright episode, and of course, the power of friendship is strong... |

You manage to get this far into this series but not finish the original series seriously? I am not saying Hidan no Aria was amazing but it is much better than this and a fun watch. It is even re-watchable and I enjoyed it more when I marathoned it recently when this series first started, though the problems I had with it as an adaptation still remain. This is not a good series it took till the end of the anime for any real plot to kick in and has been littered with Yuri fillers for most of the anime. It is not even a well created spin off with bad and empty cameos spread out through the series and inconsistencies in the timeline and characters and they are poorly sticking to the Butei world that was created in the main series. If you need an example of a well created spin off then Railgun is a good example with the manga being a very good spin off of the Index light novel. |

| Quite the contrary, this show is a lot better then Hidan no Aria. |

| what? there is some plot in this series after all!? :O |
| This episode is the best one yet. Finally this episode shows more of Akari and Nonoka's past and it dives deeper into Akari's personality and her secret abilities. Kyochikutou finally reveal herself to Akari and reveal her motives. And yeah she's also a lesbian and wanting Akari as her main prize. Next episode looks like is going to be more serious so I can't wait! |
Fipse said: I agree the orginal can not touch AAQuite the contrary, this show is a lot better then Hidan no Aria. |

| So now the story starts moving. About time. Background story was decent. That preview though. |
  |
| Little Akari pulling the heart out of the straw doll is just too friggin cute lol XD The last scene in the preview seems pretty intense but I doubt we'll get to see her actually use the technique. |
| My old Japan blog which I'm never going to finish: https://ramenshojo.wordpress.com/2016/08/07/day-6-nakano-broadway-harmonica-street-zauo-restaurant/ |
| We finally learn of Akari's backstory which was to be honest pretty interesting and would love to have learned more about it but it seems that since they waited so long to put this out, this episode and the last 2 will probably be rushed. I felt like they rushed the 1st half with Aria getting hurt and instantly being good after and left Akari with no time to think about everthing and literally just had Aria tell her what she should do so no consequences really. We of course do get the start of what looks to be the final battle and let's see if they do good with this one beacuse the last one I really was dissapointed after getting excited for a battle. Here is my full review on the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3Y3lhXuJGE&feature=youtu.be |
| Good back story. Next episode better show off her real skills. |
| so there's a plot to this series afterall |
 |
| Why? Why this serie start to get interesent in the final chapters? why 8 chapts of stalk-yuri? |
| I am Argentine, so is not very good my English, sorry for the many typing errors. |
| So we finally know the whole true about Akari... |
 |
| Akari is getting serious now |
| This actually got good. Well, almost. |
 |
| I teared-up a bit on the part where Aria lectures Akari... next episode is Showdown, Kyouchikutou forces Akari to snap & kill her as opposed to what the values of Butei onto not killing as per Aria. 4/5. |
 |
| Finally the plot from a move and begins to advance showing something interesting narrative was much more "noir" atmosphere that is breathed, not bad results. Drawings and animations average, good soundtrack. |

I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Mom definitely got some secret killing techniques with that rack. AA. Roll credits. Disappointed in folks who did not figure that out from the start. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Some average melodrama and service, I'm glad this show will be over in two episodes! |
 |
| This is so weird how the story totally changed, now it's a confrontation between clans because they poisoned her sister WTF |
