| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh some of these girls can be so silly. The plot felt pretty dense for this episode and we got some random shenanigans like a bath. There's some action with characters like Riko though so I guess that was fun. And oh yeah, even Aria needs a bit of help sometimes...  |

| So Akari is much better then she is letting on and Aria realised it. But she could not make the kill, which is human nature most people have trouble with their first kill. |
Aversa said: So Akari is much better then she is letting on and Aria realised it. But she could not make the kill, which is human nature most people have trouble with their first kill. Its not because Akari can't do her first kill, its because she can surely kill a person ruthlessly. |
| Fuuma is added to the op. Main plot finally here, next episode will be serious. A dark history showed by Nonoka's dream? |
| Yeah about that girl in Nonoka's dream show up too in this episode and want to kill Mamiya Akari. Show up some of they dark history, was a bit strange thought when Nonoka said we can finally live a normal life, seem like both of them in past didn't live any good life, seem like got trained as assassin. I guess Aria realize how dangerous Akari are, that's why she went on confirmed Akari it would be best to choose another path. RIP Aria but she won't die of course. |

| Just a little thing that you might have noticed, but i decided to share it anyway :P |
| I'm from Poland, so i'm sorry if i make some mistakes in english sentences (including this one) |
| Well, wasn't really expecting Akira's secret to be something like that, though I'm not sure what I was expecting in the first place. Looks like shits hitting the fan next episode, looking forward to that. |
^ That scene is pretty cool. Next episode will be interesting i guess. I wonder what happened to Akari in the past... |
 |
| After ep1 I kinda hoped this series would be more like this episode. Would've been better if they went into Akari's backstory a bit more before giving us the messin about. Had a mix of good moments, liked it overall. Poor Shino lol |

| Glad that we got some intensity in this episode, otherwise i would have dropped this anime :) |
| Wow, the mood of this anime is giving me whiplash, lol. Beach episode and loli affections to a pretty dark dream and background story. I knew Akari had to have something special, but I actually didn't suspect that she was hiding her proficiencies. This is getting interesting, I actually want to see what happens next for once after this cliffhanger type ending. |
| Finally a episode that no center in yuri or stalking. I was waintig for a good plot for the begining. Akari's past... will be interesing |
| I am Argentine, so is not very good my English, sorry for the many typing errors. |
| So after all the disappointing episodes now it finally becomes interesting huh... Took way too long to get to that point. Akari has been a bad and annoying MC so far, hopefully it will change with her past and a darker atmosphere. Still not feeling the show, though. There was no build up and all we got was SoL and Fanservice which didn't add anything and everything just happens at once now. I hoped this will be more like the original Hidan no Aria but sadly I was wrong. I sincerely hope that the last episodes will at least be entertaining enough so it will at least even out the terrible start. |
| I'm feeling thank you |
| Better than most of the previous episodes. Things are getting interesting now it seems, pretty late. That preview of the next episode though.... |
  |
| Damn. Then Akari really is talented after all. Really liking the development right now. And Aria fatally wounded in the preview. >.< Can't wait for next week. |

 |
| Looks like the main plot is finally moving forward. It's about damn time. |

It's closer to the atmosphere of the first one. The past 4 episodes were basically just disappointment for me. I can handle the first one, sure. Second one is still bearable, but after that is just a let down. I mean, I get that there is build up, albeit little in each of them. But it just sucks. Each one probably allows Aria to say one thing that Akari writes down and such, but an episodic 2-minute talk with Aria isn't what I can call buildup. I hope the rest is similar to this episode. It just doesn't feel like Hidan no Aria without any proper schemes. |
 |
| Eh, it was okay. Definitely the best action episode so far, but is that enough to save this anime? We'll see. |
 |
| Akari is a sharpshooter |
 |
| Finally the main plot is here! I'm not saying the 8 episode before this were bad but come on I have been waiting for some of this main story for so long but all we got was pretty much yuri fanserivce which isnt bad but it is when you throw away ur main plot to the side till way past the half way point for the season. As for the main plot its pretty interesting to see Nonoka having dreams showing a little of their past and also finally they showed Akari does have skill she just doesnt want to kill anyone. I cant wait to see what the antagonist will try do do against Akari and learn more about Akari's past. Here is my full review on the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0J72-mox_M&feature=youtu.be |
| was about to drop the score after all the "aria you're perfect!" rubbish at the end. nothing i can't stand more than soft, whiny MCs (madoka was enough for a lifetime). but then akari turns out to be an assassin and now my interest is piqued again. fuck me. the scenes and pacing is all over the place now and her sister's dizziness feels so random at this point. have a feeling that even if the story goes in an interesting direction, it wont feel earned because so much time was wasted on pointless filler. like we needed a bunch of episodes just to justify expanding the roster around the cast. |
| Dat shot at the end was amazing. I really want to see how Akari development's going on. |
 |
| This is getting interesting :) |
| Wow, did not expect that lol Plot is finally moving. |
| That was insane shot by Akari. She didn't even look, but her shots are freaking accurate and deadly. I would love to see Akari go on full force. |
| Holy shit Dem 4 shots Aari made without even looking while shouting were friggin BA O_o |
 |
| I had a feeling she had more skill than she was letting on since earlier in the series, Fuuma commented on the fact that the technique Akari used to take the gun from Aria was likely a killer technique used by assassins. Made sense to think she could probably kill if she meant to. But anyways, I'm liking where this is going now, I want to see more of Akari's tricks (especially the lightning). |
 "If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick."- Oreki Houtarou |
| So, Akari does have skills, she just don't use it... And of course that the girl with colorful nails would appear, looking forward to know more! |
 |
| ARIA NOOO |
| there are many things Mamiya Akari is hiding one of them is the previous electric discharge and now the new one an absolute killer skills! How did learned that considering her demeaning attitude and current objective of being her Amica? wut? in the next episode Aria hot 2 headshots and didn't even die from that?!? 4/5. |
 |
| Feels like the story didn't know what to do with Akari. The premise of the show was that she wasn't the most skilled Butei so they could show a different side of the Aria world, while showing how ridiculously amazing Aria was in the first place. It took that premise at heart for a while but didn't know what to do with it now suddenly Akari's a super cool assassin who's been hiding her assassin skills. It makes the old Akari fake and invalidate's any sympathy I ever had for her as a character. You don't make the underdog character just randomly have skills for no reason. It'd be like if Kuwabara was secretly the strongest spiritualist and was hiding it because he was afraid of killing people. At least the other characters are consistent. This episode was not enough to save this show. |
| Something is finally happening after 500 episodes with only fan service. But slightly meh? Uguu~ |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Episode in which the story turns well and the comic gags and do not create embarrassment. Plot that does its duty, advancing and show some essential elements to the story. Drawings and animations good, fanservice for everyone. |
 |
| WTF Akari? What did that doll ever do to you? |
| 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). |
| Is it too late to regret watching this show? |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |
| An okay episode, decent development but still way too slow paced! |
 |
| wtf so Akari has a aimbot xD I didn't expect it at all |
