Aria the Scarlet Ammo

[Demon_Skeith]

Finished another anime and this time it was on the Aria the Scarlet Ammo series anime. It's your typical school anime which gears towards gun like action. But what seems to be a anime with ordinary character quickly changes as you find out that everyone has some really special skill or comes from a long generation of important people like Sherlock Homes.

This anime is based of a series of light novels and as such I hear the anime doesn't do a good job of following those which I find clear which the anime is interesting to watch it's nothing to go out of your way to watch and or buy. Currently there is season 1 which is both been sub and dubbed and I find both pretty good but given the age of the anime I don't think there will be a second season.

The series did have some good OST music and the artwork and animation was average with good dub voice acting though there was one character who didn't have a matching voice. Just to warn you, there is a good amount of fan service in this anime and some of it has a interesting twist.

Over all I recommend watching this if you like schoolgirls with fan service and got time to kill.


Description:

Kinji Tōyama is a student at Tokyo Butei High, a universal educational facility. At this school, students undertake special training in order to learn the path of the Butei, which is a national qualification permitting its holders to arm themselves and capture criminals. The Butei were established to counter the worsening crime conditions, with training in various specialized fields. One day, Kinji decides to quit the Academy, until he is mysteriously attacked by the Butei Killer, a notorious criminal hunting down Butei with passion. The elite Assault prodigy Aria H. Kanzaki comes to his rescue. From this point on, Kinji's future as a Butei changes drastically.

I've watched this and would probably give it a 6/10. They focussed too much on the fan-service and less on what got me interested in the anime in the firt place, gun fights. there were a few of those, but not nearly enough, and all too short. What I expected after reading the sypnosis was something like Jormungand or Black Lagoon.
