Hidan no Aria 12 - Huh, why did 11 and 12 both release on the same day? Whatever. So, it's over. After skipping episode 11, for ep. 12 gg provided us with a final trollsub extravaganza, this time dubbing the whole episode with computer voices reading the script. Good work, gg, you gave this show the attention and care it deserves. :)
As for the episode, it was entertaining. Too bad it's over now and there might not be a second season, because the show's definitely gotten more entertaining as it's gone along and even though it's extremely generic and unbelievably stupid, Aria is stupidly funny enough to be funny enough of the time to keep me watching. It's really, really stupid, and is quite bad by any measure, but it's funny bad and this episode was as amusing as any of them.
So the episode starts with Aria and Kinji's fight with Riko. It ends quickly though, as the final boss of this season (and the show if it doesn't get a continuation) appears, that teacher from ep. 11, except now revealed as a vampire himself. He may actually be Dracula, I'm not entirely sure. Apparently in this show, vampires can turn into werewolves. Um, I thought vampires and werewolves hated eachother... apparently not here. Huh. So, they fight the super strong and tough werewolf Dracula. He insults and beats up on Riko (insulting her, stepping on her face, etc.), while the other two just watch until Riko finally asks for their help. That's cruel, but she was cruel to them sometimes too and they did help eventually.
As for the fight, it was a tough one, but of course in the end they manage to win. Riko spends almost half of the episode just in her underwear because at one point she uses her clothing parachute in order to save Kinji and Aria. Then they con Were-Drac and kill him... clever. And then, to finish things off, Aria and Riko both prove their tsundere credentials by using some classic tsun lines. Oh anime...
