It's horryfyingly addictive after you hear it several times.

I love it. Totally my favorite song of its season, after the AnoHana ED.
AnoHana's OP and ED were both great.

That's how it is. I'm extremely bias in favor of cute characters though so Erio was all I needed to like Denpa.

This is a shame but at least we have the light novels and manga.

As for Denpa Onna, I can't even get past the opening song. I've never heard anything so goddamn awful in my life!

.......as theme songs go, anyway.


Speaking of the light novels, are the translations any good?

I read an excerpt and yes, the translation's extremely well-worded. :)

I enjoyed watching HnA, even though the plot was a load of stupid.

And here, I wonder what J.C is doing about my Toradora Bluray and OVA...

I had a lot of faith and J.C. is one of the most recognizable animators to me, but now i feel as if they just create run of the mill eye-candy shows.

As far as twin angels i have already dropped it. It is very blatantly a kid's show, although there was a few times i thought otherwise. Nothing wrong with making that, but it is going to be average because it sort of has to be.

The pacing in Kami memo feels a little weird to me - when did he become a worker? Did i miss something? I usually don't mind that so it will depend on the next arc. I seriously felt like i missed an episode.

I wouldn't mind a second season if it was more faithful to the manga/light novels. Aria isn't as bad as the first season made it out to be

It's not really surprising, in all honesty. Hidan no Aria was generic and played up to the tropes that were long dead.

So everyone is complaining on how the boths shows are crap or than aria was better then denpa or vice versa... People they both were average shows and atleast 1 of them is getting a second season so enjoy that and stop your whining OK?

Anyways both the shows were good (averagely good) and i liked denpa since they added more of a real touch in it and Hidan No Aria well its more like fiction and i am not surprised that it dropped sales cause till the last ep the series still went wtf wtf wtf why is this happening so...

I can't really imagine a 2nd season for Denpa... In my opinion it would sort of be like the 1st season if they did. As for Hidan no Aria, there is so much more they can do. Overall both Animes were average to me so it doesn't really matter which series gets a 2nd season because I am sure I will enjoy it either way.

Ahh, Hidan no Aria was pretty good for the first half and then second half I started disliking it.

I would much love a second season of Denpa. I really loved that series. :)

Guess I was in the minority that liked Hidan no Aria. I didn't watch Denpa so I don't know about that. Sure Hidan no Aria was nothing special but I would've liked to see it get a second season. There is an OVA for it coming in December but judging from the tralier, it's just your usual fanserivice OVA.

How does that even... it doesn't work like that. You can't just pick up "sales" and plop them down in some other show of your choice. Consumers buy a show because they want that show, not some other show someone else subjectively thinks is "better".


I'm just angry at shows that get 6k copies in sales when more deserving anime series like Ikoku Meiro no Croisee get only 1k. Way to show your taste for anime, Japan.

I'm not really getting all this hate on Hidan no Aria. Sure, it wasn't great or ground-breaking but it was still at least somewhat entertaining. I had a good laugh here and there, had a favorite character or two and thought the opening and ending songs were good. Just a normal romance/action anime to me. Anime doesn't always have to be extraordinary or absolutely wonderful, it's always good to have an anime that's just average every now and then, right?

Aria receives so much hate from anime fans and I don't enjoy it. If you don't like it, that's fine but please don't continuously flame the series because you dislike it. If the show ever gets a second season (which I hope it does) don't complain or whine about it and say things like "This show should have never seen the light of day!", just ignore it and go back to your own anime shows that you like. Some people actually like this show and it's not polite to say things like "This show sucks!" to them directly or indirectly. Please show some respect to other anime fans and the creators who worked on this series in the first place. Thank you.

No you arent. I had expectations that it will turn out to be like ZnT, and I wasnt disapointed. Just some censoring which wasnt needed (not the Fanservice, i really wanted to see the planewreck szene which JC Staff cut t_t), and Vlad ... meh...
The only real bad thing for me is that it was too short and just needs a second Season to clear more things up.

i really have to agree, the show wasn't all that bad, otherwise i wouldn't be rated 7.07, i guess it could have been adapted better though, sa to why i like it, just like the genre adn some of the characters, end of story but no kinji or aria , screw them

Maybe the anime can be improved. But the light novel is SUPER GOOD. I have re-read it many times and it's still good. But the translations is super slow though

It's really a shame. The story was intriguing (mother being framed for nearly a 1000 years), action was sub-par, romance element was medium (good material for character interaction and development - the real reason for the show), and the ecchi focus was light, but overall there is something worth pursuing here.
Regardless of the negative comments here, Hidan no Aria was a good show (7/10). There have been a handful of shows that got sequels that were undeserving. For those who liked this show, their only option is to read the novel/manga as the anime will not continue. If they didn't plan on finishing what they started, they shouldn't of made the anime in the first place. I believe in finishing what you start and realistically, the idea of "not making enough money" is BS as well. They could have made it all up with a better second season (like many other shows have done). To think that the story merely ends there is quite revolting really. There is so much more to explore in this universe and it all comes to an end on the count of a few unhappy fans/sub-par sales figures? What a waste of a perfectly good show......

The last thing I heard about this from few months ago was that "it is still a secret".

Why don't they announce a second season already? They sold enough DVD/BD to make another season and the light novels had proven to be popular based on the number of copies each volume sold.

Sometimes I think low sales may only slow down the production of an additional season but not competently halt it. One example is Zero no Tsukaima I had heard that sales were bad for the third season but the anime eventually got its forth season after four years.
