It's not a matter of real world vs. imaginary world.
In this imaginary world, people die when they get hit by gunshots. In this imaginary world, people seem to have more or less standard human morality. In this imaginary world, it's perfectly acceptable to shoot at your fellow classmates (Aria misses blonde twintail girl by about 20cm) because they were teasing you. The last statement doesn't work, given the first two rules of this imaginary world. Now I'm not going to say "No fun allowed, this series is ridiculous and I won't watch it." I'll probably keep watching it, in fact. But you guys have to recognize that there are plot holes here.

I failed to mention this but I got pretty pissed when someone earlier said "Lolis shouldn't be heroines." Why the hell not!? As far as I'm concerned, that's complete discrimination. Looking much younger than you really are is a physical condition. (With being well into adulthood yet looking about 13, I'M LIVING PROOF). It's the same as saying "Really tall girls shouldn't be heroines" or "Girls in wheelchairs shouldn't be heroines". It'd be ideal if such people would keep their close-minded comments to themselves. Because I was quite offended by that statement.

I just have one thing to say to everyone posting above.
This is not a real world. And Haak: Once again, using the real world as a basis. This is a partially-fictional world (parallel universe), so the author can play around with the mindsets of people and the characters as much as he likes as long as he does not make contradictions within his own logic. Since the existence of Butei as a counter to rising crime rates is not contradictory, then everything still makes sense. Quote:
In this imaginary world, it's perfectly acceptable in Butei High to shoot at your fellow classmates as long as you don't kill them. As stated by Butei Law article 9. |

You might be new to this concept, but violence in a comical, light hearted atmosphere and fashion, are just that- It's not suppose to be broken down and discuss in a big public morality committee whether or not the children should be exposed to this material. My advice? Less books, more TV. Video games won't hurt either.

External Consistency as opposed to Internal Consistency is your own opinion. Therefore you still can't say it doesn't make sense, which is the whole point of this argument in the first place. Quote:
They see them as crazy gunslingers...Because they are, (in regards to Assault, at least.) And once again, normal rules do not apply to Butei. |

Secondly, you should take all the logic rules with you (unless it's for comedy or something similar) because otherwise it doesn't make sense.

a) it replaces Infinite Stratos on the same timeslot b) it's an adaptation of another Media Factory light novel (new entry in a 3-part TBS x MF collaboration) c) it's an equally vapid, poorly written, and soulless blend of popular fan elements While point c) may be subjective, it's going to be a common opinion. You know what people think of most light novels, right? Basically, you have an unskilled, unimaginative author (who'd never get published anywhere else and knows it) throwing a bunch of otaku tropes into a blender and then dressing it up with some pretty pictures. The contents may be as appetizing as vomit to most onlookers, but a select group of people will happily eat it anyway. As far as anime goes, these novels are adapted once the smallest of audiences has been established. Indeed, they're now created with anime in mind (purpose of making the source is to ride on the popularity of the successful franchises that hit it big with fandom; the general perception is that they're worse than the forerunners and only exist to exploit), which brings us to the recent crop of shows. In that regard, Hidan no Aria is part of the same wave as Infinite Stratos, hence the comparisons. |

The series, standalone, makes sense. If you don't think it makes sense, that's fine by me. I'm not going to tell you what to think. Quote:
The reason it wouldn't be published anywhere else is not because it's bad, but because Media Factory keeps a tight-fisted hold on shounen harem. Of course, whether these harems have a plot or not is dependent on the author. |

You don't think giving abnormal children guns to reduce crime rates is going to affect he normal populace? The effect on the normal populace is half the reason why it doesn't make sense...

Who pays for the Butei? Who writes these Butei laws (and convinces the public to support their existence? If the public is opposed to their presence and this was a democracy, I'm guessing they wouldn't be publicly funded and there's no way their existence would be legal. So is this world run by some oligarchy of the super-rich who hold very different views compared to the general public? I mean, someone other than the Butei are obviously in favor of their existence.

In fact, the citizens themselves are the ones commissioning the Butei to do jobs for them. Quote:
Of course it will affect the normal populace...By decreasing the rate of crime. These children are abnormal, which is why they keep their own world, even having a whole artificial island to themselves. They hang around with other Butei most of the time, so they aren't affecting the normal populace that way. Quote:
Before someone says "I don't like it because it's not original," then I can safely tell you that there isn't much in the world that hasn't been done before. |

Clearly you have no idea about the LN industry... If anything, it's anime studios looking for something new to turn into shows that go to the LN publishers. Not the other way round. Also, Kamachi Kazuma and the pile of cash he's sitting on now laughs at your baseless assumption that LN authors are wash-outs.

The government establish the butei system because they can't deal with bigger problems so they are the mostly the one who puts the job or bounty. The bounty is put and the butei will work. But for high school butei. More like school credits are the reward.
