* AmericansHateTingle: Not to an extreme degree, but still notable. The franchise was relatively popular in Japan at its day, even with strong competence, and its light novel and manga series keep selling surprisingly well there after an entire decade, but in the West it never caught so much with either viewers or readers. Part of the fault goes not only to the divisive reception that ShanaClone series have always had on the Anglosphere, but also to the fact that the ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'' fad itself was already in its twilight when the ''Aria'' anime aired, which caused his subsequent fanbase to be much smaller than it might have been years before.

* ClicheStorm: A common complaint among reviewers, even those who liked the concept of a Literature/SherlockHolmes descendant, is that the series plays painfully straight almost every trope related to the HaremSeries and ShanaClone genres. The latter case is certainly intentional, given that the anime even shares its company, director ''and'' lead voice with the original ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'' - but this doesn't help exactly, especially because ''Aria'' was one of the last SC series to receive an anime adaptation and thus didn't have its predecessors' novelty value. (To be fair, the originality improves considerably through the light novel series, but as the anime adaptation stopped just after Volume 3, people who don't follow the novels never got to witness it.)

to:

* BizarroEpisode: The OVA. While initially a regular HotSpringsEpisode, it soon turns into a weird ghost story where time and space start unraveling while the group chases a spirit that seems to be wanting to tell them ''something''. However, nothing of this is clarified, as it turns out to have been AllJustADream... only that the entire gang dreamed it together, and things that they learned in the dream happen to be real things they couldn't know before. And ''then'' it turns out the ghost is real after all and is observing them. Maybe the episode's point is that there are things that not even Sherlock Holmes could understand?

* {{Sequelitis}}: Spin-off example, though not completely unrelated. ''Aria the Scarlet Ammo AA'' was much less successful than the main series due to a myriad of reasons: its characters were substantially less colourful, its plot was more a SliceOfLife compared to the main ''Aria'', it came a significant four years after the latter, and ultimately, to put it simple, it was not what the fandom wanted - when a new ''Aria'' anime project was announced in 2015, people were excited that they were finally continuing the series, only to find out it was actually an adaptation of a less known spin-off without weight in the central storyline.

* SpiritualAdaptation: A series about an ordinary guy with a hyper-competent counter-terrorist SplitPersonality, gained thanks to his family line, who gets involved (in more of then one way) with a twintailed, pinkish-haired Japanese prodigy agent around his own age, who keeps a persistent BettyAndVeronica situation with another female friend of the main character? With all those premises, ''Aria'' could be perfectly considered ''ComicBook/SpyBoy'''s light novel adaptation.

to:

* OlderThanTheyThink: In 2010, only one year before the ''Aria'' anime aired, Creator/JCStaff also produced ''Anime/TanteiOperaMilkyHolmes'', another anime about a female Holmes in a modern setting that features superhuman abilities (as well as a Literature/ArseneLupin character). The same year also saw the premiere of ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'', a TV series about a modern day Holmes getting entangled with terrorism. Interestingly, given that the ''Aria'' light novel was published in 2008, the trope also works in reverse towards those works; in fact, although ''Milky Holmes'' was canonically inspired by ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' and ''Anime/GalaxyAngel'', the novel's popularity might have still contributed to its success.

* SpiritualAdaptation: A series about an ordinary guy with a hyper-competent counter-terrorist SplitPersonality, gained thanks to his family line, who gets involved (in more of a way) with a twintailed, pink-haired Japanese prodigy agent around his own age, who keeps a persistent BettyAndVeronica situation with another female friend of the main character? With all those premises, ''Aria'' could be perfectly considered ''ComicBook/SpyBoy'''s light novel adaptation.

* TheWoobie: Riko Mine, no doubt. From losing her parents to spending years as Vlad's undernourished prisoner, to being used as one of his pawns, to having her rosary (the only keepsake she has left of her mother) stolen by Vlad (who knew perfectly well how much it meant to her), to end up being tortured by him after she tries to get it back. You can't help but feel sorry for her, despite her actions under Vlad's wing.
