THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
For some reason, I couldn't take this episode very seriously. Mostly it's because of the mecha and chaos going down but it just seems like the plot feels awkward.

Fight felt faster than I had expected, barely half the episode.
The brief fighting between Aria and Akari kinda showed how much she improved herself. Wasn't expecting much though.

So in the end they still remained a pair but it appears there is still some work left to be done.
In any case the bad girl where beaten and it was a happy end as usual.

I think the story has changed in many parts, a bit disappointing.

All well ends well i guess, another anime ended. Of course i still continuing on the AA manga version which already near 100 chapters, so abit far away from anime version. The most exciting part is when the antagonist is Kinji's little sister Kaname.

Time to move on to other anime =)

This show had ended. But somehow just one of the average shows this season.
Well at the least I got entertained somehow with the fights and battles.
Anyway, I'll rate this show a 5 (or 6) score overall.
Heck this is somehow a disappointment, I just picked this up because Ayane Sakura was on the lead which also one of my favorite Voice Actresses!
Haters always gonna hate.

tbh, this just look like a girl fighting with guns. that's all. and shoujo ai too. it was very different from the original story. i expected that there gonna be the same action from the original story but i disappointed to the action. the arc was meh....nothing bad and nothing good. this episode was meh too, but i actually enjoy it.

overall, i enjoy this series but at the same time i disappointed to the action. so i will give it 7/10. the comedy was pretty funny tbh XD.

Thanks for the show, i guess.

Close combat is dangerous. Tell that before she does it! Dammit, you guys have gun and you are running at your enemies like blind ducks.

5/10, glad it is over. I watched it only because doga kobo animated it. Its such a meh spin-off.

Meh. Most of the episodes were episodic yuri fan service, When we finally got some development in the last 3 episodes it wasn't anything great.
The battles weren't interesting at all and some of them were downright bad.

Couldn't take most of the episodes seriously at all.

The last scene with Kinji was nice though :P

I would have preferred a sequel to the original than AA.

Disappointing..
In the end, I can say she doesn't have that kind of powerful ability(or she is bad at using it) after all mentioned exaggeration through the series. I was hoping for a better character development and she lost her match with Aria after seconds.

I was expecting them announcing a second season of the real Hidan No Aria in the end. >.<

At least, I like that they included Kinji and Shirayuki, albeit they didn't have that much of screen time.

Overall, I don't think this spin-off is bad by any means but it just turned out to be so...meh. Akari was such a letdown. Not interested at all in the main series but I'd stay for a 2nd season of AA.

This was an entertaining end. I'd have liked a bit more of action, but I guess developing the characters the way they did in that small timeframe is fine.

The funsies were quite the funsies, so all in all I liked it.

My thoughts exactly. And I figured the final boss would be taken out in no time, it was really predictable.

Ok series overall, got pretty bored of it after awhile though.

Was disappointing since it was barely close to the feel from the original.
Where you'd normally get a decent conflict for the episode(Aria flying out of the country, Kinji comes to stop her and meets Riko) you'd get Yuri fan service(Shino invites Akari to her home and attempts to keep her for herself).
Where you'd have gotten an action-packed fight(Aria versus Riko), you'd have gotten a one-sided 'fight' (Akari hiding behind bikes and shooting the ground).
If they made the episodes more like the last 3 episodes, I probably would have given it a 7 at least.
Not enough Kinji cameos. There's only been like 3 or 4 total.
6/10.

Had potential but used up lots of air time on yuri fan service instead of good character development.
Neither of the two girls attracted to Akari were developed enough to make a running gag work.

Anyway for this episode itself, I liked how they had the Aria versus Akari duel, even though it didn't last long. There wasn't really anything to cringe at. *cough* one-sided *cough* clothes-shredder *cough*
It was about as enjoyable(a bit better) as the first time Aria gave Akari the test.

Anime was mostly boring and disappointing. All the time I was hoping that in the end it will get good but unfortunately it didn't. A few of the SoL scenes were okay, but most of them were just terrible. The last two episodes were mostly cringeworthy and couldn't be taken seriously at all. I facepalm'd hard when the chick with the mech arrived.

Most of the characters were just there, they did barely do anything to progress the "story". Basicaly just for the purpose of fanservice. Aria is probably the only character I was able to like unfortunately.

The Anime has good soundtrack and animation though. A crucial point which saves it from being declared as an abomination. I think almost everyone who watched and liked the original show had a hard time with this one. 4/10
I'm feeling thank you

I still like the series and I was glad to go back into Aria the Scarlet Ammo universe. This episode was good and at least the fight was better last episode especially seeing the all characters working together. Short but still pretty good. And that hand to hand combat between Aria and Akari was okay but damn how about less talk and more action? Anyway I like this series for what it was but the original series is still better because the original had more serious tone, the fight scenes in the original were not the best but they were more engaging than this anime, and the story didn't get derailed. 8 out 10.

A satisfactory adaptation indeed. The anime conveyed yuriness of the manga very well, namely Shino & Urara 's relentless love and lust for Akari, the God-sent yuri couple Kirin x Raika, plus the lovely CVR kids who have more roles than in the manga.
The action scenes are admittedly bad (They are decent in the manga). However, the cute yuri can compensate for that.

This now ends and I still feel like this could have been better if they focused more on the story from before but it didnt really matter when it comes to it everything about this was really average, the fights, the story, and just overall Akari was a character that even when she got better at the end I still didnt care for her and in the end all they left me with was just an anime that could have been better but main story was thrown on the side for a overdose of yuri. The ending fight was okay, I did like how the fight between Akari and Aria looked with the effects but other than that it was just ehh... Hopefully now though maybe instead of a side story like this we can get a real sequel to the first season because that is really what I wanted in the first place to be honest.

Here is my full review on the episode and overall season:

I haven't finish yet, just sneaked a peek. What the hell was the girl in the mecha?
Seriously, what were they smoking?

The anime itself was a let down, but this was simply sad.

I'll try to bring the manga faster so people could forget this "adaptation"

There seem to be alot of high rating for this series. 7/10 or more.
but for me, its 5/10 and that just for the mediocre fight scenes. This series was an disappointment from the get go. Since it wasn't a continuation of the first original story, I watched it just to see what it was all about and like I though, it wasn't much.

As final I was not expecting much, the parts that were not about funny situations, the anime has given the emotions that an anime shonen quality can be reserved, better to see it if you look for a nice atmosphere and full of funny situations. Drawings and animations in the media enough, catchy soundtrack, to watch only if you watched the first season.
My rating is 6.5 / 10.

It shouldn't have had anything to do with the original series, in my opinion. Overall, the anime was fairly uninteresting and its worst point was its plot. It was watchable due to the setting and production, but definitely not my cup of tea.

In the end Mamiya Akari still can't win against Aria but at least she got the gun from Aria but at the same time she lost consciousness which results not being counted. (the gun that was taken away from Aria)

Even though I know Aria is not serious this was still a massive disappointment.
It's pretending to be what it's not and it isn't working.
Moderately enjoyable, but a load of crap as well.
Prefer the "original".

Tons of incoherent plot points/characterization that I couldn't see it connecting to the main series, so I'll just take this as a spin-off, which in turn makes it even more pointless of a series since it doesn't connect with the main series.

A disappointing series overall, despite at one point it looked pretty promising.

This show was enjoyable.

Those who hate this anime is because:

(1) Had their expectations broken by wait for something directly related to the first Hidan no Aria - like a sequel or side-story for example; or/and
(2) Dislikes (fanservice) yuri.

Best thing about this spinoff was Shino.

They destroyed the Metal Gear.

Saw that inconsistency again.

Took me this long to finish it. lol
