Frankly the people who hate hidan no aria hate it because almost none of the main characters are likable.
Aria is an annoyance beyond belief because of her illogical behavior. (Yes once u learn the logic she's forgivable but not by much). Shirayuki is unlikable because of the fact that she's stalkerish and her jealously is borderline idiotic (plus she's kinda a psycho). (She's forgiven for those boobs E.O.D.) Kinji is unlikable because he pretty much has one of the coolest powers in male history and yet not only does he resent the power but that great power is activated by a horrible horrible little witch. Riko is unlikable because of the fact that her grudge with Aria is borderline idiotic understandable but idiotic. (Again forgiven for her boobs) For those who read the full manga its different but for those who have watched the anime thats all there is to it.

The full novel yes but for those who have only watched the anime (myself included i've heard about other stuff) a lot like STnBD (until later on) Hidan no Aria is incredibly easy to hate because the characters are incredibly unlikable. Having read AA also i have to admit it may actually be WORSE then the original.

I don't hate the series,but ain't too interested in it due to the sheer idiocy it shows, specially when it comes to the use of myths and historic figures. There's taking creative liberties, there's being a hack,and then there's HnA. What does anything Aria do have anything to do with any version of Sherlock Holmes ever? And lets not say anything about Kinji, some sensitive people could actually find it offensive. |

Riko's breasts were that big...? Wait, I see now. AA barely has any fanservice of that kind |

I watched the first two episodes for the sheer sake of comparison, then never looked back. That thing's gotten way more chances out of me than it deserves.

2.Yeah, that's something I've noticed, (my favorite character really feels like not-Shirayuki) but since the protagonist isn't Kinji, I don't mind much. That's my bias, I always try to believe in series that ditch the male MC. Also, not much magical stupidity, which makes a big difference to me. |

So your complaint is that they've taken really cool historical figures and mocked them completely

It used to be around the range of 60k in the first month? Don't quote me on that.

I thought kugrie tsunderes were out of meta much like giant cell phones and disco.
Zombie revival time! P.S. I hope they will have more Riko art. Hopefully not like the image in the OP because that ranks pretty high on the derp scale.

It's more like wasted potential. I don't mind twisting the hell out of historical figures, or doing crazy stuff in general, but in this case it seems to be done with zero effort, not even to pander to a certain niche, like, you could have this exact characters with a different explanation to their powers and it would change nothing about them or the story. And they (the historic and mythical figures) are used so sloppily it sounds honestly boring as hell. Going crazy with some effort gives you silly but awesome stuff. Going crazy with no effort gives you random boring crap that just makes you frown in disdain. Mind you, even stuff like this could be forgiven if the characters were likable enough, at least in my opinion, but that doesn't seem to be your case. Mind you, what I just said doesn't come from an in-depth analysis of the whole story, maybe my opinion would be different if I checked more of what happens later, I don't know. But judging from spoilers I've read... I'll stick to Index and other generic fantasy LNs, thank you. Quote:
I doubt there will be entire episodes dedicated to fanservice, so don't worry, it won't fail so hard. Last edited by Requiem-x; 2014-12-17 at 13:36. |
