Pantsu, pantsu, pantsu and pantsu. I never seen an anime with such a lot of pantsu. Every scene has pantsu. I was pleasantly surprised.
At the same time, the story/action is serious, but not the overall plot.
It was interesting. Definitely worth a short as its quite a short series anyway, just like all the skirts.

Aika is a classic, and it still stands up today, at least the first four episodes. When it was originally released it was a 4-part OVA. It was such a hit that the studio released three more episodes and it's clear they only planned enough story for the first four.
That being said, despite its obvious age, when this was made it was quite a high budget affair. The drawings are attractive, the action scenes are very well animated, and even its over-the-top, goofy story is engaging enough for four episodes (it's like an internally serious Austin Powers plotline).
But let's be clear, you're here for the pretty ladies dressed in totally inappropriate combat attire, and the copious amounts of pantsu, pantsu, pantsu. If those aren't your things, you'll want to steer clear. If they are then this is worth a watch to see how the fighting pantsu genre really became popular.

The plot is thin, but not as thin as the lovely white panties all the women in this series wear. Veteran seiyuu at the mic, excellent animation, and smoking hot women. Oh, and panstu, pantsu, and more pantsu.

Hardcore pantsu ecchi. Story is quite weak, but has some nice action. Might even be the mother of all pantsu anime.

High production standards, great animation and
character designs. a show where ecchi is art rather than simple commercial strategy.

18, female, bloodtype: O, , bootsBoots are heavy-duty work shoes that are often made of leather and have thick rubber soles. They are usually found stomping on things: floors, people, etc. Generally, typical boots can be as short as angle height (ankle boots), and as long as the mid point of the lower leg (crew length boots). Boots at least longer than crew length would be half boots or higher., brown eyesThe character has brown eyes., high heelsHigh heels are a type of shoe in which the heel, compared to the toe, is significantly higher off of the ground. These shoes make the wearer taller, accentuating the calf muscle and the length of the leg overall.

They have significant cultural and fashionable meanings attached to them, which have been largely shaped by historical contexts over the past thousand years., martial artsVarious sports or skills, mainly of Japanese origin, that originated as forms of self-defense or attack, such as judo, karate, and kendo., miniskirtA miniskirt, sometimes hyphenated as mini-skirt, is a skirt with a hemline well above the knees, shorter than the wearer`s arm., ribbon tieA ribbon tie is a ribbon used to tie the collar of a shirt, blouse, or other clothing top. This means that the ribbon, with or without a bow loop, is tying a collar that is cut close to the neck (i.e. not a low-cut collar); otherwise, the ribbon is just a common case of ribbons on clothes. Please see the full description for more detailed instructions on when to apply or not apply this tag., salvorA salvor, also salvager, scavenger, debris collector, or junk collector, is a person engaged in the task of recovering and selling materials and valuables from junk, especially from vessels sunken underwater or from space debris, so that they can be used again., short hairShort hair is hair from (but not including) bald, up to (but not including) shoulder-length hair. This hair length is what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length.

Please add the appropriate tag and remove this one from the corresponding anime/character afterwards., lipstickLipstick is a cosmetic product containing pigments, oils, waxes, and emollients that applies color, texture, and protection to the lips. Many varieties of lipstick are known. As with most other types of makeup, lipstick is typically, but not exclusively, worn by women.

Most kinds of swimsuit reveal a large portion of the body surface area. In anime, it is common for at least one episode to feature the characters in swimsuits, usually as an excuse for gratuitous fanservice; swimsuits, particularly one-piece swimsuits, are a very common fetish in Japan. One-off appearances of characters in swimsuits should not be tagged.

female, , blue eyesThis character has blue-colored eyes., cleavageA cleavage is the partial, or sometimes full, exposure of the separation between a woman`s breasts., grenade launcherA grenade launcher is a weapon that launches a grenade with more accuracy, higher velocity, and to greater distances than a soldier could throw it by hand.

Skirts are often seen as garments for women, but exceptions exist. In anime, they`re almost always worn by women, generally as school uniform or workplace garments, and a man with one will likely be cross-dressing. Skirts that go below the knee are usually associated with strict rules and at times with winter, though even in winter anime schoolgirls in miniskirts can be found.

21, male, , brown hairThe character has brown hair., butt monkeyThe character who is always the butt of the demeaning joke or the "put him through hell" plotline. For whatever reason, the Butt Monkey seems to walk through life with a permanent "Kick Me" sign attached to their backs, invisible to them, but all too visible to the rest of the world. Nothing ever goes right for this character, and if something bad is going to happen to someone, chances are it`s going to happen to them. Long story short, it sucks to be the Butt Monkey.
--tvtropes, cross-dressingThis character sometimes wears clothes traditionally worn by and associated with the opposite sex.
Cross-dressers often hide their cross-dressing identity for a long period of time and thus tend to become adept in accurately portraying the opposite sex in terms of voice, movement, behaviour, temperament, etc., ditzScatter-brained, incapable of holding even half a thought at a time, salvorA salvor, also salvager, scavenger, debris collector, or junk collector, is a person engaged in the task of recovering and selling materials and valuables from junk, especially from vessels sunken underwater or from space debris, so that they can be used again., young adultSomeone is generally considered a young adult if they are between 20 to 40 years old.

28, female, , cleavageA cleavage is the partial, or sometimes full, exposure of the separation between a woman`s breasts., drill hairAn easy way to tell if a female character in Japanese media is of high social standing is to not look for a crown or an Ermine Cape, but to look at the front of her head. Specifically, look for two long, curled locks of hair, framing the face. If she has them, she either is high class or acts like it.
Needless to say, this is pretty much mandatory for the Ojou. Some Elegant Gothic Lolitas also sport this hairstyle., elbow glovesElbow gloves are formal female gloves that reach until but not past the elbow. Formal gloves are typically worn with formal attire for fashion purposes; they generally serve no functional purpose. Elbow gloves are not to be confused with evening gloves, formal female gloves that reach beyond the elbow, or with formal wrist gloves, formal gloves that reach until the wrist or slightly onto the forearm, but not much beyond., exposed midriffIn fashion, midriff is a term for the human abdomen. The midriff is exposed when wearing a crop top or some forms of swimwear., high heelsHigh heels are a type of shoe in which the heel, compared to the toe, is significantly higher off of the ground.

In addition to the area itself, the term can describe the clothing combination. Please note that zettai ryouiki requires all three components: over-the-knee or thigh-high hosiery, thigh skin, and one of skirt, shorts, or minidress.
