Hello again everyone,
This time we'll talk again (I just managed to watch the second episode) about the series I'm most enjoying (together with Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko) of this season of anime that is Hidan no Aria - Aria The Scarlet Ammo.
First of all, my prediction of some deep involvement of some new character was completely off, instead the series focused on giving more time to the viewer to know better the two main characters and mostly our cute Kanzaki H. Aria.
Yes, to put it bluntly we had the first filler episode of this series and while the story from the preview seems to be starting for real I seriously doubt this will be the last filler we'll see!
One particular note from this episode is likely the new image around Shirayuki that looks like a greatly protective and jealous around our protagonist and this personality will likely clash in some comedic effect with Aria presence in the protagonist's home.
To be honest it was a quite decent ride with great comedy and some Kugimiya goodness with that trademark voice that everybody knows and that I love (it seems like listening to Nagi and Shana merged together when you hear Aria)
There seems to be anyway some layer of darkness around the motives of each character at this moment, both in our protagonist such as "what is the origin of his condition?" and Aria that is "Why is so persistent with our protagonist? This episode was trying to say something, but stopped herself after a couple of words...what was she trying to refer to?".
Many questions that I seriously hope will have an answer by the end of the series with some kind of good closure to the series.
I'm ok with an harem/undecided ending (that is likely the way it will end up), but want to get some closure from the main plot standpoint.
I'm still scared of an Infinite Stratos type ending that while enjoyable (the fanservice of this series at this moment is very enjoyable) would make this series less than what I'm expecting that is one of the series to put in the first three places of my reccomandations (that by the way will get updated in one week time)
Well, from the next episode it seems we'll finally see the new sniper character appear and from the look of it some more comedy scene between Aria and the protagonist.
Let's hope for the better!
See you soon,

P.S. Ah, forgot to tell you, but my package from Japan was shipped today and will likely be here the 2nd of May so I can get a little review up of the volumes I bought even thought very few this time, only 10 volumes. (Hoping for a bigger next shipment as soon as I catch up with the backlog)
