Lol, what's with the fairy tale dream...

Oh right, the episode featured Raika:


I smell some jealousy this episode as well. I guess every episode will feature Kinji in cameo parts with Aria? Akari's stalking is too silly. Raika looked cute this episode but that match was ridiculous.

Seems Raika didn't see that kiss coming and Riko seems to have made her first move.
I wonder what she is up to this time.

Also Kinji making an appearance together with his Amika who seems to be a very funny girl.
And Akira has to work on her gun knowledge, calling a G11 a funny weapon how dare she that gun was nearly adapted as the German service rifle.
It fires caseless ammunition which makes it a very advanced weapon.

Riko's so cute though she totally feels suspicious.
Each episodes been going by in some generic fashion which isn't really bad but hopefully it'll spice up a bit soon. Pretty nice episode overall though

They made Kirin look like a stalker in the anime when in the manga they gave a reason for her love to Raika Would have loved to see that part, but at least they didn't remove all the yuri.

So when exactly does this take place?
And since the time in-between those 2 events seem pretty short, I'm confused.

Of course, my only knowledge of this series are the animated ones, so if something happens afterwards and this AA also takes place after the animated series, then never mind I guess?

Very sweet episode and I liked the appearance of Kinji , much Yuri if I have to complain about something , but it is obvious that this series will point to it rather than the action of the original series.

I don't think it's a "This time." We could assume this is all running in tandem to the original story.


I'm totally digging Raika. Her character design almost seems like it was ripped off of Yukikaze from Dog Days though. At least, that was who I first thought of when I saw her.
Edit: Of course, I look up the dates afterwards and it turns out that Aria AA's manga predates the original DD manga by half a year, so I guess it could be the other way around.

I felt the Shino > Akari was forced but Kirin > Raika seems more natural.


About the whole behind-the-back investigation on Akari, it's rather unfounded. At this point all we've seen is a pure dummy who's not really done anything to warrant suspicion. But we'll see where that goes.

I wish Kinji and her Amica Hina would have been just a bit longer. >.<

Somehow, Kirin X Raika seems more natural compared to AA. Can't wait to see next ep, looks like it will be a battle between two groups of Butei, and Hina is on the opposing side too.

Mod Edit: Do not discuss the manga beyond this episode.

So far I honestly don't know what the main story is anymore, it seems like the main story is Aria trying to figure out something with Akari's past but they always just push that into the background for like a couple mins and the rest of the episode is always just pushing more and more yuri, which I have nothing against yuri but I just feel they are pushing too hard on that and less on the main story.

Here is my review on the full episode:

Lmao Shino just wants skinship. Raika is cool, I guess, but a bit boring... until she turns cute.

Kirin is meh, and she turned Raika meh as well. Like what's with that sudden development, doesn't even make sense.

Pretty much my main feeling towards the end of the episode. Honestly, my favourite thing about this episode was Kinji throwing himself into the river to avoid Hysteria mode, that made me laugh.

Other than that, the yuri was just... meh. I don't care for it at all.

This was cute episode and it looks like another supporting character has been added to the cast. Shino was very funny holding down Akari and the Raika x Kirin feels more like admiration instead of romantic, but it's also feels natural that can go into romantic stage but I have to wait and see. The Akari x Shino is alright to me because episode 2 show me how much Shino loves/obsessed over Akari. And the Akari x Aria is never gonna happen because Kinji x Aria is already a done deal, so there's no need to worry about that. Kinji making a cameo appearance was the best because he almost went Hysteria Mode when he saw Akari's panties. And that Riko cameo appearance was nice as well. Enjoy this series so far.

..... So when are we going to rename this anime as Hidan no Akari, featuring Aria playing in the background?

The best part of this episode was Kinji nearly going to Hysteria Mode.

This anime is not what I'm expecting. Because as an ARIA spin-off, I thought it would be more of learning Aria's past, and NOT the shitty character called Akari and her friends who will NOT be relevant in the future, because they're spin-off characters.

So of course as an Aria fan who have been waiting this anime for 1 year (I can't imagine people who waited a lot longer time than me with this suffering), would be disappointed.

This...

I waited since the end of Hidan No Aria for a 2 season or some kind of Aria show. I was under the impression that this series was going to cover Aria in her London years before arriving in Japan nonetheless as a Hidan no Aria fan I'm going to stay until the studio finish the airing of this anime to show my support and maybe I can have more Hidan no Aria in the near future I want to see again in a prominent role Kinji, Shirayuki, Reki, Jeanne, Tokyo Butei High students (friends of the main cast) and more of the teachers plus some characters from this spin off, that would be sweet...

When Aria was fighting Akari for the gun (Akari trail to become Aria amica) she noticed a move Akari made to take the gun from Aria she deduce that technique is not common and a very dangerous one, backed up by Kinji amica (Ninja girl) research + Akira strong resistance to psychical damage thus starting to investigate her since the end of ep. 1...

Now onto the episode itself the two fighting scenes were to short for my taste the one with Raika and Kirin and especially the first one with Aria training the cadets. I wanted to see more of the girls skill sets against Aria a rank S Butei officer. I hope next episode address that...

The only problem I have with this series is that it's not as interesting as the original. It had action and a captivating opening and this did not have it. There is also that this is focusing too much on Akari (a character I personally do not care for) and forcing yuri on you. I would rather it focus more on Aria and her past. The only highlight of this was Kinji's appearance which made me chuckle and that was pretty much it. I'm going to continue to watch this so it hopefully convinces me but I'm not getting my hopes up.
