Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

datemaru The thing that brought me to Agent Aika was a clip showing Rion yelling at another character.I have never in my life seen a worst dubbing job. We talk about how the person sounds like they grabbed an intern and just had them read a script, but we're usually exaggerating to make a point. But Rion seriously sounds like she is voiced by someone who has never done this before.Basically there is a scene where Rion looks like she's freaking out, but the voice actress doesn't sound like she is in an advance state of panic like the animation suggests.The story is basically is that climate change has flooded the world and man lives on the remaining land masses. Our heroes Aika, Rion, and male lead whose name I forget are hired to do some industrial espionage.Then they fight sexy ninjas... actually I don't know if they're supposed to be ninjas but enemies who appear out of nowhere in impractically short skirts. I don't think there is a scene where you don't get at least one pantie shot.The series only get's more insane from there. I won't spoil the bad guy's evil plan... but it is so stupid and environmentally pretentious that I wonder if this was meant to be a parody. This was the same guy who made Projet A-ko, but Project A-ko was originally meant to be a hentai and he did make many others. I'm saying this is either a work of genius or unintentional gold.I would only recommend for long time otaku because for new comers this series will likely only confirm your suspicions that anime is for perverts.

michael-1020 This is a satire of all the sexist nonsense from female-hero anime and carries over to a lot of female-hero films you see today.Sexist camera angles are taken to extremes in this series, actually to the point of being funny rather than annoying like they are in so many productions. The transformation into a magical form that so often includes a hint that the person might be naked midway through now not only leaves no doubt but the machine causing the transformation actually grows hands and starts pulling clothes off her.Not that women are the only objects of ridicule in this. The evil mastermind come creepy voyeur is so camp he should be teaching a masterclass in the subject.

IkuharaKunihiko Sometime in the future. In Japan two friends, Aika and Rion, are digging for lost treasures in the sea with a help of their submarine. The job is not doing too well. But one day their paths cross with an evil madman called Hagen who wants to destroy the earth with a help of strange substance called Lagu. His goal is to save himself ( and a lot of women ) in a spaceship before the catastrophe and to rebuild the world later...with his children. Of course, Aika and Rion will stop him.Now, what to say about "Aika"? It's nonsense, but it's an amusing kind of nonsense. The people who claim this is "the worst anime in history" are exaggerating it a lot. The sci-fi action story is one huge fun ride in which you just have to relax and enjoy because it has many highlights: gadgets, spaceships, a bad guy who has a love relationship with his sister, a charming girl with glasses...--------- Yes, the story has too much "fan service"( camera angles are always placed on the ground so they can catch the slips of women )but at the same time the characters are just so sweet you are willing to forgive every flaw. Just look at Rion. In one scene she is captured by the evil Hagen in a spaceship. Every crew member is a woman. Suddenly Hagen offers Rion a valuable role in the new post apocalyptic earth if she agrees to have his children( just like every crew member agreed ). But Rion gets furious beyond words and, among others, says: "You men are all the same! You just want one thing only!" I found that to be hilarious. I'm still not too fond of Aika's diadem that creates some kind of a super-woman out of her( although Rion likes it claiming she looks like a super hero )and leaves the story too sci-fi driven."Aika" is a weird comedy but it works.Grade: 6/10

nemesis1981 Well, all I have to say in regard to this film is that it isn't worth watching. Its a manga cartoon that verges on hentai but fails to be either. This film is a disgrace to the genre, so of which I am a big fan, but attempted cartoon porn is simply neither here nor there. it is not worth wasting your time to watch this movie.
