Hidan no Aria


 Hidan no Aria or Aria the Scarlet Ammo in English title. one of well-known titles from light novel series. Hidan no Aria anime adapts the first 3 volumes of the light novel series, mostly an introduction of the characters and some hidden talents and famous names around to be seen alive in the story and blend of character history at present time. Opening song “Scarlet Ballet” performed by May’n. Ending song “Camellia no Hitomi” performed by Aiko Nakano. Hidan no Aria has 12 episodes and runs around 24 minutes per episode and directed by Takahashi Watanabe.

Tokyo Butei High School, a special school for a student who holds an arms and detective also known as “butei”. Kinji Tooyama sophomore student of Butei High who has a secret in his body is like a super mode that he wants to keep inside and to live a peaceful life. Kinji transferred from Assault Division to Logistic Division after he became a sophomore student and started his peaceful life. One of his biggest reasons for transfer and his secret is his super mode also known as “hysteria mode”, a stimulus to awaken it is the embarrassing mark from himself. 

Kinji's peaceful life starts to end so easily when he encounters the Butei Killer who wants to kill a butei student. All of a sudden Kinji meets Aria Holmes Kanzaki, a fellow butei student who hunts the butei killer. In a pinch of time the two of them Kinji and Aria both stuck at one place because they were chased far by the butei killer, even though Kinji hates the idea his inner mode wakes up by a stimulus and they got away easily from the butei killer. Aria is a top butei student from the Assault Division of London who hunts high profile criminals around the world. 

Hidan no Aria story is something different that I enjoyed reading the light novel series of the title. There’s a lot of division and characters to count on the light novel. The animation adaptation is 3 light novel series, it’s just the introduction part of some character and back story of Aria H. Kanzaki is the main character of the story and a much more hidden secret that to be revealed in the following volumes of the light novel. So far decent animation delivered by the production company behind. For the music the opening is a good choice not because it’s May’n who sang it but also a good music to remember the series and the ending music is like a reflection of Aria itself who tries to free herself. 

The animation part of Hidan no Aria it feels a bit lacking in action, some good battle scenes but a bit hard to remember or I just expect a bit more or just my imagination runs that far. In terms of action scenes, I think it’s a bit simple, not that extravagant to look forward to, but the battle tricks on scenes a bit short but it gave a good explanation after the fight. So far, they almost adapt how the light novel series story goes on and that’s the strong point for it and the weak part is the battle scenes for me because I am looking for some battle effects. 


Hidan no Aria deserves a good recommendation for the story itself is a good one an action comedy and a bit of romance this is for you. If you are a fan of Rie Kugimiya seiyuu or voice actress well you deserve it to watch her work. Is the anime series a bit bland for me? Nope not at all it’s just I enjoyed reading it more and I feel more action in the light novel. Is this another underrated anime series? Maybe, but I don’t feel the action part that’s what the series lacks in this anime to deliver the action scenes or the battle scene that most fans are looking forward to in the anime action genre. Does your review reveal some bit of spoiler? As much as possible I try to limit it but in this case of Hidan no Aria I tried but can’t escape from it but if it’s your first time to watch no problem at all the anime can explain it. From the reader's view the story is good because I enjoy a different setting they had and a great explanation from time to time.
