History Anime / AgentAika

* BoringButPractical: Bandra's wardrobe leans towards grease-stained coveralls instead of a skirt, but she makes up for it with CoolShades and an orange mohawk.

* BespectacledCutie: Rion is a cute girl who's smart and wears some big glasses.

* AntiVillain: With exception of Rudolf and Neena, who want to bring TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, pretty much everyone else isn't really a bad guy.

* StealthParody: Some critics, such as [[WebVideo/BennettTheSage Bennett White]], have suggested that the series' over-the-top sexualization may actually be satirical, pointing to elements like Aika's corset essentially molesting her when she transforms, along with Hagen's extreme perversion and [[spoiler:eventual death at the hands of a twisted manifestation of his own lust]]. This interpretation is helped by the fact that Katsuhiko Nishijima also directed ''Anime/ProjectAKo'', which was a parody. On the other hand, Nishijima also directed multiple hentai, so the jury's still out.

* SheIsAllGrownUp: If one compares the Aika Sumeragi from Aika R-16 and Aika Zero to the Aika from Agent Aika.

''Agent Aika'' (or ''[=AIKa=]'') is an {{OVA}} series produced by Creator/StudioFantasia and directed by Katsuhiko Nishijima. It was released from 1997-1999.

* DarkChick: Sania, the resident MadBomber of the group.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: This happens to Aika once she transforms. Additionally, she has blue hair as well.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Hagen dies in Episode 4, but the Delmo Corps survives him and continues to pose a threat to Aika and company.]]

* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Rudolf Hagen dies in Episode Four, but the Delmo Corps survives him and continues to pose a threat to Aika and company.]]

** Surprisingly, bouncing breasts aren't as prevalent as the massive amount of fanservice would suggest, In ''R-16'' and ''ZERO'', however, this happens a lot with Eri and Risako.

* MuggedForDisguise: Rion gets a uniform by knocking out a Blue Delmo. As a result, the Delmo is left in the humilating image of being knocked out, tied up and locked there in just her underwear.

** Episode 2 of ''R-16'', "Peach Peach Beach" takes place on the beach.

* {{Fanservice}}: Usually in the form of upskirts and revealing clothing. There are also plenty of bare breasts, which are usually drawn with nipples intact. However, the groin area is strictly BarbieDollAnatomy.

* LegFocus: Almost all the female characters have long legs and short skirts.

* StealthParody: Some critics, such as [[WebVideo/BennettTheSage Bennett White]], have suggested that the series' over-the-top sexualization may actually be satirical, pointing to elements like Aika's corset essentially molesting her when she transforms, along with Hagen's extreme perversion and [[spoiler:eventual death at the hands of a twisted manifestation of his own lust]]. This interpretation is helped by the fact that Katsuhiko Nishijima also directed Anime/ProjectAKo, which was a parody. On the other hand, Nishijima also directed multiple hentai, so the jury's still out.

** The Delmo Corporation is this for Hagen as they were created to serve this role so Hagen can repopulate the world his own descendants.

* TheBrute: Tonia, who is the only member to hold her own in a one on one fight with Aika.

* ThouShaltNotKill: Aika only knocks her opponents out. While she may be rather brutal about it, for the most part, her enemies will be fine when they wake up.

* VillainousIncest: One of Rudolf's bedmates is Neena, his sister.
