Lets just start with this: Aika is something that is either actually bad, or its just a really really damn good ecchi joke.
Story: 4
its really horrible. plot holes everywhere. things don't flow naturally or chronologically. its astronomically bad. And i guess in this section too i want to say that this was also shot with the question of "how many pantsu can we fit into each episode" in mind. and the answer is: a whole f*cking lot. But back to the story. Its really trash and recycled. Theres two distinct arcs in this 7 episode series, and the first sets up the blueprint for the second. and the second arc isn't even really an arc its just three small stories that follow the same model as the first arc. So... yea. story is bad. butt.... if you're watching this anime, its probably not for the anime. Also cliches. they are rampant in this anime.
Art: 3
Part of me wants to give it higher because it is an old anime (this anime is legit older than i am), but i gotta say... the art is also not that great. so by todays standards... go in expecting nothing. theres no 720p nor HD options here. The art is very very old style, like think misty from the original pokémon series.
Also, this anime has a mild nudity rating, which means nipples. now back in 1997, nipples were just little cones apparently. so unfortunately, the fanservice, the nipples, are kinda wack. but... also not bad either. its definitely not on par with anything you might see nowadays, but there is something... endearing about them. something that does make you wanna see more.
Now on to the character designs. they're not bad. most of the costumes are recycled, and the colors are kinda pastel-y, but design wise its not bad.
Animation-wise, its also quite bad. i mean there are scenes where it looks literally like a paper cut-out stop motion film. but at a worse resolution.
Aika is really hot though in both forms so eh... silver lining.
Sound: 4
didn't bother listening to the op/ed, they're like super stereotypical 90s music. in anime sound is also old. its like the had a sound board with only 5 sounds and they used those sounds repeatedly for sFx. BUT i gave it one extra point because aika sumeragi's (the MCs) VA sounds super hot. like super super hot.
On to VA choice, besides the nominal character, its mediocre at best. nothing stands out as super good, but nothing is super bad either. good voice acting.
Character: 3
Absolutely no character development at all. ALL the characters are static, though you cant really expect all that much in 7 episodes. Most are made for comedy purposes or for showing off pantsu so yea cant really fault them for not having much character.
Enjoyment: 8
Now u may be wondering (or maybe not if you've read my other reviews) 'how can u enjoy this to an 8 even if u think the rest of it is trash'. Well. it is somewhat comedic. its stupidly bad that its actually quite hilarious how bad it is. Also nips and pantsu. A lot of pantsu and a decent amount of nips. lesbian action and incest as well. i enjoyed it quite a bit, especially the first few episodes before the story got recycled. But its enjoyable if you can overlook everything else
Overall: 7
This is a classic case of "its so bad, its good". The whole thing is basically one big joke. but in that theres also some enjoyment in that. Its definitely a bad anime, but its not the worst anime i've seen. Overall, everything is trash except for the enjoyment factor. If you like ecchi, nips, pantsu, and laughing without trying to criticize everything else, you'll like it. If you don't, then yea... dont bother watching it. Mathematically that 7 breaks down into 2 for enjoyment + 3 for Nips + 2 for aika sumeragi's all around hotness = 7.
peace
p.s. i was tempted while watching this to say, "this is too much fanservice" but too much fanservice is impossible.
