| This is looking better than I had expected.....looking forward to more. |

| I love the original series and I still love it today. This spin-off is refreshing to me because I really miss the world of Aria the Scarlet Ammo. I'm glad Aria is still the main character because I still love her, Akari is too adorable so she's watchable as the other main character. I love cameo appearances of Kinji, Riko, Reki(1st best girl), and Shirayuki, and it's going to be interesting to see Kinji not as the main character but I'm fine seeing him in a supporting role. A pretty good start for me I don't like translated subs in this episode, so I hope they update the first episode with better translated subs. Edit: Okay the first episode ha finally been updated with better translated subs. |

Artsy said: it would have been more interesting if it did not completely ruin the original story "hey, you know the main character of the main story?" "the one who had 12 episodes of buildup to his romance with aria?" "yeah, that one. we're going to make him never associate with aria at all, and he's going to be conveniently partnered to a brand new character instead, because we don't feel like coming up with a good reason for his absence." dropped after episode 1, i will not be watching more Hey do you realize this spin-off takes place before the main story right? In this spin-off Aria and Kinji never met before. So the main story is not ruin. |

So the main story is not ruin. i was under the impression that it was just a slightly alternate universe if its a prequel, that is even worse, because there's inconsistency in the exact opposite direction Naw it won't. But if that's how you feel than that's fine. |

| The good thing about Kinji not being around is that we don't get to see Aria act like useless garbage to the society which is called a tsundere! :D The episode was alright, nothing special, nothing bad. Hopefully (good) subs taking a long time won't be a thing though. |
| my thoughts about this series dropped |

| Wow, Too many complaints and dropping it on it's very first episode? Just how bad this crab mentality be? It's not a good hobby you know? Well I guess, I can't blame those anime only watchers who posted here just to complain. |

| im enjoying it. i would of preferred a second season but this will have to do. wow so many complainers...and dropping after 1 episode?? |

| Lame, I'd watch but then I'd have to watch the original first. Fuck JC staff. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| Well, Nano doing the OP song is reason enough for me to watch this. Aside from that, I was really hyped when I saw that another Hidan no Aria thing was announced. Kinda sad that it's only a spin-off though. So far, only hating the main character (Akari). So awesome to see Aria being badass in a fight though. |
| Dropping this spin-off is FOREVER! |

| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| Damn... I got soooo disappointed with this.... I know it'd be a spinoff, but I thought that Aria would be the MAIN character. Then what we got is a spin off focusing on a NEW character, being a big fangirl of Aria. I've gotten in this series around last year or so, and when I heard about the spin-off I got excited... then the first episode kind of let me down. Also... if this spin-off were Alternate Universe as some people said, the least they could do is drop Kinji out from this series. If it's really an AU, I know it'd be a what if scenario. But seriously, Kinji and that crazy yandere girl and the sniper girl become a cameo that probably returned for the sake of "hey here we have the characters from the main series." The lack of Kinji is making this series a letdown, so it'd be better if they don't shove a "hey here's a cameo, but he's not gonna play a big role anymore." Kinji's only partner should've been Aria. They should've just removed that scene. God damn spin-off. |
 |
| Just like alot of others i wish this had more Kinji. It was a good episode not gonna say that i didnt enjoy it but i am such a big fan of Aria and Kinji that its sad to see him just getting cameos. I just hope Aria doesnt start falling in love with Akari. Akari and her friends can fall in love but Aria shouldnt. I know its a spin off but she never showed once a moment of liking girls in the original series (If it is a Prequel then she should have the same feelings that way) so if she suddenly likes girls thats stupid. I have nothing against Yuri its just i love Aria an Kinji. Anyway im looking forward to episode 2 next week and i hope we have more cameos of Kinji. |
| I liked it more than I thought I would. looking forward to the next episode ~ |
| it was OK...a bit...but of course the art has been improved since S1 was years ago... cool OP from nano. 3/5. |

Mami-Sexual said: That makes senses. Thanks for explaining it in a way without spoilers. If this show will go into the events of the original story I expect we might be seeing more of Kinji if even a little bit and see his interactions with Akari.TwilightMystery said: Personally, I think it might be a prequel spinoff because I can't imagine Kinji and Aria splitting up.

| I would perfer season 2 but this will have to do Kinji isn't going to do much right ? |

| Hmm, interesting and decent episode. Nice music. That preview though, makes me a bit curious of what will happen next episode. |
  |
| Kinji will appeared again and when Akari hear about that Aria found a partner, then she later will know about it later in series and there is already on that part when here friend go yandere mode. It's sound really strange to hear Kokoa from Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka thought lmao |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Decent start. Nice action and direction. Nothing to dislike at this point. Think I'll steer clear of the main series though with it being a harem. MC looks lame anyway. |

| I wished we could have gotten a second season instead... oh well we will see old characters again. Except for Aria and Reki, the lack of Kinji, Shirayuki and even Riko in the opening disturbs me. Although a plus because its sung by Nano. I really hope we get to see more of the other characters having a little bit of spotlight, just like Touma in Railgun. |

| She will not be friends with anyone for long nor any of them qualifies to be her partner! Why? Why no watch the SEQUEL! ARIA HAS NO FRIENDS BEFORE MEETING KINJI. THIS AKARI IS SHIT, |
#CHEXIT |
| Can already tell I wont like this. Watched the first season so I'll stick with it, but it'll be painful. Who's idea was it to even adapt this side story? "oh yea, let's go from Kinji, a MC who turns into a badass shooter with the comedic gag of cheesy lines, paired with Aria and Shirayuki...to worthless girl obsessed with Aria who brings nothing noteworthy or enjoyable to the table. Oh and just to cockslap fans we'll cameo Kinji, Shirayuki, and Rico". Kind of feel bad that Nano's insanely badass OP song has to be attached to this show. If we could just get a regular season 2 that would be great...but if Index taught me anything about JC Staff, that's not going to happen. |

Well I guess, I can't blame those anime only watchers who posted here just to complain. Why the hell are you bolding and accenting random words? It's not making it look like you're emphasizing your rant. It's making you look like you don't know how to use a keyboard. |
| No kinji? Ain't watching. |
 |
| well that was boring |
 |
| Oh please dont tell me that AA is going to mean something like Anti Aria -.- judging from that foreshadowing of Aria having an uneasy feeling and Akari's dream in the start. Also from the opening of both Aria and Akari being chained up and layered over one another switching. I really did not need this spin off of some girl fangirling over Aria that will be useless for 90% of the anime, I mean she cant even fire a gun properly.... Also Aria could only really open up to Kinji because of their relationship so are they just going to ignore this? Also if this runs along side the main series should Aria not be going through numerous emotional situations not making it that great a time to hang out with some dribbling fangirl? The first season was not great by far but I sure would of liked another season of that far more than this. This just does not seem to work nearly as well as a spin off compared to something like Railgun running alongside Index which is an excellent spin off when it is sticking to the source material and not doing anime original shit. I mean the Railgun sisters arc is for me still the best thing in the Index/Railgun anime series. This spin off though just seems to be a terrible idea for an adaptation. |

D3pthCharge said: Lol Y'all thought Kinji was a good character... really? He is just some generic male lead who happens to become OP af when he gets turned on. He was the usual nice guy with a side of sarcasm, which was decent at best, but then the whole Hysteria Syndrome BS. Not that his role in this side story would make up for the useless MC anyway. Except for the fact, that he doesn't want anything to do with Aria for a good half the show, doesn't like how his condition makes him behave, has an inferiority complex with the rest of his family, and he treats everyone with respect. If he was a girl, I bet you'd like him sorry her* though. There's nothing wrong with his personality or behavior and he actually develops unlike some other protagonists. |
| Kinji looks different in this adaptation. As expected of Doga Kobo. Rest of them look pretty similar. Well, this was silly but kinda enjoyable at times. 6/10. Why am I watching so many shows like these, sigh. |
 |
| should i watch the 1st season before watching this anime? thanks |
