AIKa R-16: Virgin Mission

Aika R-16: Virgin Mission: A short review. As guilty a pleasure as one could get, Aika surely caters to those of us who enjoy fanservice. The story in and of itself is obviously far from impressive, but let's be honest, that's not what you're here for. You're here to see some cute, half-naked girls, which the show delivers; as promised. Oh, and more pantyshots than even the most perverted of us could ask for. Story: 2/10. There's very little to be said here, like the original Aika, this is not the area in which the series excels. It's basically just "make up some excuse to get theshow going." Art: 6/10. The art is an obvious improvement from its predecessor (that's a given, I suppose) and it does look pretty decent, a huge plus since the series if indeed very focused on aesthetics. (Yes, I'm talking about the girls.) Sound: 6/10. Aika has a good seiyuu, she does a fine job delivering her lines, which really does push the quality of the show up quite a bit. The music and sound effects aren't something you'd remember, though, and some of the minor characters do sound a bit uninspired. Character: 5/10. Aika is likable. I much prefer the young version to the older, which I really didn't care much for. Her enthusiasm and somewhat silly nature, combined with an ability to kick some ass here and there makes an all-around decent character. Her sidekicks are very generic, though, an Asuka-like loudmouth and a typical silent-girl type. Enjoyment: 4/10. This is purely subjective. As all enjoyment of art is, of course, but it really comes down to whether or not you like to see sexy schoolgirls fall over again and again, revealing their underwear. There is a bit of comedy thrown in as well, and it might hit home, though I found it a bit bland. On the whole, it's just a few laughs and some ecchiness, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, just nothing to write home about. Overall: 4/10. I've seen much worse attempts at mindless fanservice. Aika: R-16 Virign Mission does have a bit of charm to it. I can't really justify giving it anything more than 4/10, though, as it's just a random 3-episode-pile of fanservice. I enjoyed it enough to not regret having watched it, if that counts for anything. I do feel a bit silly, as this is my first review, but I wanted to pick a series which didn't already have 10 reviews written for it. Hopefully it'll help some poor soul make up his mind as whether or not to indulge his ecchi-cravings.

Hey, I found the retarded child of Ikkitousen and Elfenlied! Wanna know about it? No? Well too bad I'm gonna tell you anyway. Story-1: Some girls are doing something....and school.....pantyshots everywhere......uhhh......teh maincharacter looks like a trap.....and....uuhh.....Honestly, I have no clue what this show is about. So I'm gonna tell you how i found this gem (Probably more interesting than the storyline anyway): I haven't had a girlfriend in about a year, sooo, I'm kinda desperate.....Anyways, I was checking for some updates on my favorite pornsite - yeah, I'm actually doing that regularly - when I saw three recently added episodes there. I thought "Hey, three episodes,that's gonna be great material" (I think you know what I mean). So I watched the first episode, thinking it was kinda weird that there are still no sex scenes approaching the fifteen minute mark, but maybe they'd show up in the end. I was wrong. There were none. So I watched the other two episodes, kinda losing my interest when a giant naked girl on the screen was catching my attention again. I laughed my ass off, got bored again and then decided to write a half assed "review" about this "hentai". It's actually more like an OVA with mildly sexual content. Yeah, you can see a lot of pantyshots and boobs but not much else. And by "a lot of" I mean "pantyshots everywhere at every time". Seriously, this thing tops Ikkitousen in the cathegories of stupidity and pantyshots/scene. Boring! Art-6: To be fair, it looks decent. But that's all. There's absolutely nothing special about the artstyle. Why did I give it 6/10 then you ask? Well because tehre's at least no supergiant triple Z-cup boobs to be found here. I don't like those. Gj AIKa R-blablabla. Sound-5: Decent aswell. Nothing particularly bad but nothing pacrticularly good either. Voiceactors are doing their jobs and the music is nothing special. Character-3: I absolutely hate the Maincharacters. They are boring, forgettable and not even worth writing about. Seriously. Go watch something else instead. Enjoyment-2: Well, I it at least made me chuckle from time to time and I kinda enjoy writing reviews about utter shit sooo, yeah. More than one point. Overall-3: Now, before anyone flames me, let me explain myself: I watched this because I thought it was hentai. That's why I did not give it any chance at all since it failed to deliver it's sole purpose of me wanting to do it. If you looked at it in a diferent light, I'm sure the score would go up at least a little. That's all. PS: Don't judge ne it's just my kind of thing okay?!

I hadn't seen an anime as loaded with fanservice and ecchiness like this one in a long time! Basically, all female characters (95% of the complete series) end up nude at some point, revealing their breasts and butts, in awkward positions. If you like these types of things, you'll be very grateful towards this 3-episodes OVA. The story is very silly, light, and pointless. Art style is good, better than many other similar animes, and they focused a lot in the depiction of the female body. Sound is fine; the voice acting seemed to be alright for the most part, and I can't recall at allthe opening and ending songs (that's how good they were). Character development is very vague for most of them. The main 3 characters, however, are explained enough as for the viewer to understand them. Overall, I enjoyed the anime. It delivered a lot of fanservice, which I must admit I like, and it got me entertained.

The AiKa saga never ceases to amaze me now that I'm taking the time to watch it. I'm impressed by the amount of stupid analysis you can read online from people who are paralyzed by the fan service and can't make a good story. AiKa R -16 is a prequel that tells us about the first big adventure of our famous protagonist. Without wasting time, we are introduced to an intelligent, adventurous, but above all, brave AiKa. Three important concepts can be highlighted during the development of the plot. The first is the formation of a trio of tough friends, AiKa, Eri and Karen. The author understood that heonly had three chapters and thanks to that he does not waste time developing the characters. In a short time you will get to feel their personality and that will hook you with the story. Second, an engaging and challenging plot. Once again, there are only three chapters. But that is enough for the author to generate interest in the plot, create a plot knot and leave a well-made outcome, which at the same time leaves the promise for a sequel. Third, a large dose of fs, which fans of the genre will enjoy at every moment. Please, let's not give space to people who say "fan service is not necessary" For your information, fan service is a genre! Saying that fan service is not necessary is like saying that love is not necessary in the development of a romantic story. The reality is that the AiKa saga is an example of a great story, great characters with a dose of fan serivce and all in perfect balance. It is a MUST see for lovers of the genre. THE GOOD. Perfect balance between fan service, Plot and characters. THE BAD. Only three chapters? Why? THE SAD. The paladins of good customs who are willing to destroy everything they don't agree with instead of being objective.
