Review of Agent Aika

Agent Aika (1997–1999)
5/10
I can't decide if this is satire or not

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.
