Later we have underlings from the previous villain who have probably the stupidest motivation ever. Of course he has a creepy sister who is obviously involved in an incestuous relationship with him. The first involves a creepy purple haired lipstick wearing bishounen who at least has an evil plan that makes a bit of sense. Namely the idiotic girly man they introduce halfway through the show whose sole purpose seemed to be getting beat up by Rion or cross dressing or saying other creepy lines while talking through a puppet. All the other supporting characters are ridiculously shallow and boring. Almost all of the "intentional" comedy flows through her. Rion plays the sidekick and she is probably the only genuinely interesting character in the show. Aika as the hero is completely uninteresting besides her physical measurements. The characters have zero personality, we learn nothing of their pasts, and they just conform to whatever stereotype they were put in. Aika gives us perhaps the most uninteresting cast in the history of anime. Maybe the only thing worse than the story though is the characters. We also were treated to panty shots from people who were not even wearing panties 30 seconds previously! In the one scene I saw a main put on something other than plain old white when she exposed herself 5 minutes later guess what? Yep standard white! Come on if you’re going to do something at least do it right! Characters would be wearing one outfit and the next episode in a scene that is supposed to be taking place immediately following events from the previous episode they would be wearing different clothes. Note to the director: mix in a little color, some blacks, pinks, reds, or blues. You can tell that a man was in charge of all of this too because any woman knows you don’t wear white panties under a black miniskirt. If you’re going to show me 200 pairs of panties per episode then at least show me some different kinds! Apparently in the world of Agent Aika everyone shops at the same store and buys the same style and color panty. The biggest problem is it even fails and this. Well that’s because that’s what this anime is about. I know I have spent a lot of this review talking about underwear. There are lots of gun fights, classic military vehicles battles, and martial arts action but these are just tools to de-cloth the heroes and villains or show their underwear. We are given a name for this power but honestly I forgot what it was 5 minutes after they told me. Aika has strange mysterious super powers which involve her becoming naked and wielding tentacles. The director didn’t have time for more than that, must show more panties! Nothing the main characters do is adequately explained. In 3 hours of show I think they spent less than 60 seconds actually "salvaging". Supposedly this show is about the main characters being salvagers. It’s so pathetic that it actually becomes a bit humorous after awhile. Everyone falls in the same way face down ass up exposing themselves. All of the action revolves around panties or ripping off clothes. Panties and how many we can show in one episode. And it’s not like this is something that offends me, but all of these things from the pantsu to the nudity are done in such a tacky and exploitative manner that really that’s the plot of this series. I would imagine if you strung all these shots together they would take up at least 80% of each episode. Yes it’s true I challenge anyone to find ONE shot in any episode that contains a female character that does not show a panty shot. ![]() Namely panty shots, boobs, tentacle inspired Except in Agent Aika, the director decided to skip such trivial matters and focus on what is really important. This is where I usually write about the story. But even that can’t save this from being a completely uninspired waste of time. ![]() As has been stated in some of the other reviews I have seen for this show, you can find plenty of unintentional comedy gold in this show. I have to say in all the shows I have watched up to this point Agent Aika succeeds in being probably the most dreadful one to date.
