This is one of those animes were panty-shots and ecchi content are more prevalent than the actual plot. Story: What little I could gather from the story is that Aika and her sidekicks are treasure hunters in a post-apocolyptic world. in order to save their business, they take on a job to find some sort of energy-thing. As they reach their target, they are attacked by Delmas, weird girls in skimpy outfits with a truly bizarre leader (and his even more bizarre sister). After that, the plot more or less disolves into panty-shot filled fight scenes. (There's also the sub-plot of Aika's fancy corset) Animation: The animation is decent, but I have to wonder how the animators felt after drawing panties for that long. Sound: No comment Characters: With only 7 episodes, there wasn't much they could do to make the characters rounded. The characters were a bit on the insane side, though. From the vindictive, rather mental Nena to the cross-dressing Shuntaro... the cast is just so weird.

Agent Aika Plot: "Earth has been struck by a major catastrophe, causing most of the land to becovered by water. Meet Aika Sumeragi, a scavenger who unearths everything from nostalgic treasures to lost technology from the depths - for a price. During a routine assignment to find the rumored energy source Lagu, she finds herself face to face with a man called Hargan and his harem of scantily clad women named Delma! Now, with danger afoot, Aika finds herself smack dab in the middle of a conspiracy involving secret weapons, a crazed scientist and of course, panty shots galore!" (site synopsis) Story: OMG panties and panty shots all over!, the world is finally coming to an end! LOL this might be the definition of Agent Aika, which in one way or another it manages to take from every possible position, angle and in the most weirdest positions ever seen, every panty shot in a mather of seconds. The thing that defins Agent Aika and also the other sequels of this anime is the over-the-edge Fan Service aspect, extreme ecchi, nudity, panty shots aspects used at their maximum potential only for the sake of attracting fans. Though it does not completely sacrifices the story/plot development, it still has a consistent story but it doesn't mather how good or intriguing or interesting it is because it doesn't maintains a line of seriosity, not even for abit, since we see panty shots in like each scene without exceptions. Though the story of this anime is pretty much acceptable if we just stay and think that a show like Agent Aika which the the Fan Service aspect is extremely predominant, it does not really sacrifices everything and only for this thing, its enough for me to send my praises to the author of this show. It is true that Fan Service and extreme, hardcore ecchi to the point of reaching the borderline hentai tag aspects cant make a masterpiece of an anime alone, but if this exists alongside a suitable story even though its not so well defined or detailed and with some nice, badass, captivating characters then for sure this might be far from concidering it a masterpiece but it really pulls a hell of a show and i concider it at least worth watching. The story of Agent Aika is centered on a mature twenty year old woman named Aika Sumeragi. She works as a scavenger which receives different tasks like finding hidden treasures or lost technology everything is accepted but of course with an appropriate price as well. She lives in a post-apocaliptic background, years ago the earth has been struck by a catastrophe which caused a mass wipe and most of the land was covered by water. During an assignment to find an energy source named Lagu, she finds herself dealing with a mysterious man named Hagen Rudolf his sister Hagen Nina and his huge harem of short skirt, scantily clad woman named Delma. Since Aika was interfearing in his business Hagen took interest in her willing to make Aika a member of his harem, though Aika wanted to defeat him so the possibilty of her joining Hagen became zero. From this point everything becomes predictable, only one thing worths saying is that Aika isn't quite what she claims to be, she possesses awsome martial arts skills and also she is skilled when it comes to using guns and other weapon's though her real power consists of an alien being which appears when she is in trouble and can become a killer machine defeating everyone around her. Other than this, nudity, ecchi scenes, panty shots neverending, girls with big breasts and everything else that enters in this category. For fans of ecchi genre this show, must not be missed, even though its abit extreme it sure worths watching. Animation and Sound: In terms of animation and sound Agent Aika is pretty much average, since this was a 2001 production the animation quality, style, directing is not the same like it is nowadays, though in the other prequels it improved and the differences are obvious. The sound as well is nothing much, nothing that catches your attention, the soundtracks fit the mood, atmosphere and the setting of the anime, the background sounds fits the anime as well, but there was nothing that caught my attention. Characters: Related to characters Agent Aika does not exceed as well, other than Aika Sumeragi which was developed in a pretty shallow way and her work partner and the boss, and also the antagonists aren't developed in a detailed way or aren't developed at all more exactly. The thing that catches your attention when it comes to characters is not the fact that they are not developed in detail is the fact that they expose their pants, boobs (doesnt mather what size though) and in some cases there were even nude scenes if i remember well. What still creeps me out is what sick mind made this anime i mean really i have seen many animes with many PPMs (panties and panty shots per second) but nothing compared to the Aika series, from every possible angle in the most weirdest positions in almost every scene. One thing is for sure, i really don't wana know the person that made/produced this anime, the person that had this briliant idea lol. Oh well at least he managed to entertain me and for this i am grateful. Overall: Agent Aika is a hell of an anime, with hardcore ecchi aspects and over-the-edge panty shots aspect, some cool fighting scenes and a decent story, in my opinion it at least worths watching but i only recommend it to people that truly enjoy ecchi show but even those people i think that they will find it very weird and way too much to bear with. Like most of the ecchi animes it has a nice ending yet another thing that might make people wana watch this. The reason why i rated this anime so high at overall is that i damn liked, even though the normal mark would have been 7, this show really managed to entertain me from top to bottom, such shows deserve a good rate from me. ~Enjoy and Cya Around~

Agent Aika begins with a leisurely boat tour along the flood waters now covering Saitama, Japan. Twenty years after a worldwide disaster submerged 95% of the world's land, salvaging work to recover valuable goods and data from the abandoned cities below has become a booming profession. An attractive fighter and submarine pilot, Aika Sumeragi, and her spunky megane partner, Rion Aida, pursue salvaging work at the K2 Corporation headed by Rion's father, Gozo Aida. Rion is frustrated with her father's overly generous business practices that have lost profits for the company. Aika intervenes and convinces them to agree to a shady business proposition to collect data on a new energy source called Lagu. Unbeknownst to them, Rudolf and Neena Hagen, siblings who were contracted by the military, also have a vested interest in this energy source, and they’re willing to kill to obtain it for themselves. The fanservice, which—let's be honest—is the whole point of this series, is brash by the more socially considerate standards of modern anime. I often see people today complaining about small bits of service that pale in comparison to what Agent Aika defiantly shovels into your face. Excess aside, I couldn't help but appreciate the inventiveness of the choreography and shot compositions. The fight scenes are practically balletic in their staging, and consistently filled with service shots that aren’t confined to comedic or sexual situations. The camera itself turns the viewer into a dirty voyeur, giving you a sleazy first-person view of the "action." The non-service cinematography is noteworthy as well. By episode five, there’s an impressive play on perspective and depth of field akin to a live action crime thriller. For a series that likely started as an excuse to fill the screen with panty shots, the visuals are surprisingly detailed and thought out. With the support of superb artwork and an eccentric array of characters, my interest was sustained outside of the service. Agent Aika was clearly a labor of love, something that the creators believed in, and likely wanted to see for themselves. This kind of passion is rare. Typically, studios play it safe, and paint by the numbers laid forth by focus groups, steering clear of anything that could be considered too weird, offensive, or unprofitable. Agent Aika on the other hand didn't give any fucks. It did what it wanted to do, how it wanted to do it, and it did it with style.
