And unlike the first, this one delivers. While I still don’t care for the character designs, we finally get a glimpse of what will make or break this new Aika incarnation: the panchira. I’m pleased to report that it’s every bit as hilariously blatant as the first installment was ten years ago (was it that long?), and if nothing else should provide great fodder for a drinking game. I’m looking forward to the OVA’s April 25th release with guilty (or not so guilty…) pleasure. (no more)
The last time I watched the original Aika OVA was when I was 13, and I watched it in the English dub (VHS, you see.) I’m sure I could get the original series for quite cheap now…
Or you could pay some ridiculous price for the R2 remasters… :V Hmm. 16,800 yen isn’t all that bad, but given the subject matter I’d probably stick with the R1 DVDs regardless.
