Yandere with katana.. Pure win.


Wtf?


Yanderes are best with a bladed or sharp weapon wither it be a knife, axe, sword, saw, or spear. Go watch School Days last ep.

If it weren't for the fact that the guy actually fights back then i'd have a problem with this show. A tsundere act every 5 mins is annoying.

Confirmed yandere.


Awww, I like her, but, ya know, Aria's weapon of choice kinda makes her awkwardly ridiculous, well, she has a pair of Cal .45 pistol that has a nasty kick for a someone with a toddler's body and how the hell does she fits 2 regular size katanas on her back which is 3/4 the size of her body and how does she maneuver without tripping from her very long pigtails which were longer than her body?

Your taste in females is tragically skewed. You're irreparably damaged by tsundere anime girls.

Who cares? I just love Aria.
You're not alone.

SLEEPING
WITH
CLAYMORES.
"Tonight, I sit in the eye of the storm. As fire boils around me, I press forward, winds and lightning lashing my wings. I am no match for what I face. Yet I will not back down, and though fear may place it's stranglehold on my heart, courage will see me through. With tears in my eyes, I hit full throttle. My engines become an inferno, and my weapons light up, awaiting my command.

If I die tonight, I will do so fighting for everything I believe in."

When Aria left the shower she was almost like a exact copy of Shana from Shakugan no Shana.
Especially with that angry look.

The manga contained more background info around the characters and it also gave me a different impression of Aria.
Sh appears more childish in the Anime.
Riko is a great character and i really like her random fantasizing about Kinji's relationship to Aria.

If you watch other animes with tsun charas you'll find it like this. If you hate tsuns then you hate it. I love tsuns. Let's just respect each other's opinions about it. Okay?

The yandere moment was the only good moment in this episode. Aria is getting a little bit old... I feel like each Kugimiya Rie tsundere just seems to get more stereotypical. Ah well.

then you wonder why I prefer yanderes more, or danderes, or kuuderes LMAO
theyre less bratty xD
anyways, this was an ok episode,
Aria deserves a slap, Shirayuki is a nice yandere~
anywho, I like Riko(blonde girl.. if her name is wrong..) frills~ ruffles~ <3

This isn't an action show. Everything in had me expecting this to be an action show. No, this is a comedy that happens to have some action in it. It doesn't even feel like a romcom yet. Hell, it's not even a good comedy. I'm mildly curious about Hysteria Mode and what's up with that, but that's nowhere near enough to keep me going. Dropped.

Honestly, there are many great tsun characters out there but some people just want to fix their description of tsundere to a certain type of character.

I actually thought that Aria could become a cool character but what exactly went wrong? Yes, DAT VOICE.

Loved the episode, hope that Shirayuki will get less screen time now though, she is really getting on my nerves. Also, that teacher isn't even trying to convince us he is not the villain. Another bonus point for Kinji, he is handling the tsundere pretty well overall. 5/5, can't wait for the next episode.

Im so glad Junji Majima is the VA of the male lead in Hidan no Aria, Ive been looking for a show this season that will fill the void in my heart left by Kore wa Zombie Desuka and I believe this is it!!!
Also am I the only one who was immediately reminded of the killer Santa Claus scene of Kore wa Zombie Desuka during the following part of the episode?

Yandere Shirayuki is nice and Reki next episode hopefully.

It's the second day Kinji has known Aria so it's not like he's had to put up with her abuse for weeks. Anyway getting rid of someone like that obviously wouldn't be easy even if you get them out of the house especially if you have something they want.

Why does everyone hate Aria so much? I love her already. Especially loved her saying 'Urusai!' Reminded me of Shana.

Guess I have no choice but to watch next week.. I don't want her to 'put a hole in me' XD

Because of what she might have done with them when she saw him in the house while she was taking a bath.

its pathetic that i predicted everything that would happen next for a full 6 minutes of the episode, the only highlight of this episode is the two minutes of screen time shirayuki had.

my hopes are falling for the male lead, he got bitched around the whole episode this time.

I consider myself to be possessed of a pretty high tolerance for this kind of stuff, but the first seventeen minutes of this episode were very trying for me. I can feel the gears turning in my head as I one by one abandon and redefine values appropriate for reality all in an effort to reinterpret this behavior as Cute. Objections to abuse recontextualized. Value of maturity and independence, gone, let's get psyched about the bond that comes from working together for a while. Gonna have to view stubbornness as positive for a while and ignorance as forgivable, no way around that. The mental walls that bind her actions with negative connotations must be broken down in an effort to accomplish the mentality expected by the creators. Haven't felt like this since Zero no Tsukaima.

Seriously, did not expect them to lay it on this thick. I'm probably gonna love Aria, but it's gonna take a few episodes to get there. I'm sure by episode five or six I'll have the perfect rephrasing of her character's traits that will paint her as the the noble figure the creators think I'm seeing.

After seventeen minutes though it got better. It was good to see Kinji gathering intel on Aria. They dropped in Kinji's title "Kinji the Dark", can't wait to see what that means. I'm liking Kinji's character. It's not that he's letting himself be pushed around, he's just the sleuth end of the pair. He's playing it cautious, getting a feel for the situation before he acts. For example, now that he knows she comes from nobility he'll have to figure out exactly how much authority/power Aria herself has access to and how willing she is to exercise it. He's already learned that she's not likely to actually pull out the guns during a verbal conflict, despite that she'll frequently threaten to. I can actually respect that far more than a man who would actually just kick her out of the house right off the bat with no idea who she was or how this would escalate. Kinji's definitely a fun character. A nice breath of fresh air with all the hotblooded male leads that seem to permeate so much of the anime industry. Even Touma, designed as a similar unlucky everyman with a power that was more curse than blessing would for some reason turn into this paradigm of machismo and lack of thought the moment a villain appeared. There are too few male leads like this guy.

Sounds like we're in for some action next week. Can't remember how it went in the manga, but I remember being excited by the events of the next mission. Looking forward to it.

I'm starting to suspect that this'll be fun however it turns out. Either because it's good or enjoyable, or because train-wrecks are inherently mesmerizing. I'm game. My teeth are gritted and I'm set to see where this goes.

Edit: forgot to mention, breakfast girl is still awesome, and in fact is even better after being confirmed Yandere. Truly the most hilarious character in this series so far.

As for her treatment of Kinji and her personality, those were pretty generic as expected from a tsundere.
Reading the manga is a good indication of what the anime will be and so far its pretty much exactly the same.
Overall pretty good :D
