| It was such a nice episode up until Athena took off Alice's second glove. The double promotion didn't feel right to me, especially with how long it takes Akari and Aika to get rid of theirs. I just don't like when they show that natural talent beats hard work, it doesn't feel fair, and it makes Alice look like Mary Sue - she got everything as soon as she graduated from middle school just because she's so talented. So disappointed. |
| This was a great ep and the best one so far in my opinion. After all that said, I still like it about the same as The Natural. Hopefully the last 4 eps can change my mind. I also didn't cry :/ |

| I knew something big was going to happen this episode considering how many replies this episode's thread has compared to the others, and I did suspect it'd be a promotion but I wasn't it to be a double promotion nor for Alice to be the first of the three to become a Prima. |
| I liked this, great character development, Athena, Akari, and Aika's constant support for Alice really paid off with big dividends, Alice truly had improved and it was strongly established she was a gondolier prodigy. I think that her still attending school was what was holding her back, and at Athena's personal recommendation they made her promotion, a double grade promotion. |

| ah, well this episode's obviously Alice's promotion, it's nice watching it even if you see it coming a mile away-... ah...oh, I see that was unexpected |
 |
| I knew that there is something special is gonna happen when i saw familiar canal. By the way, why Himeya's undine, that leaving the exam gateway, was without gloves? And... Wow! I didn't expect that... Alice is "prima" undine already? I mean, i expected her to pass exam and became "single" undine, but... Just wow! |
| Nice she's a prima now |
 |
| Alice suddendly became a prima, very good ending |
 |
| FUCK! ITS TOO FAST! NOO! MY KOHAI GIRL NOW NOT THE KOHAI AGAIN! :( Really this episode was surprisingly amazing. Such a weird while looking their huge changed. The act from Athena while phoning in the background was pretty strange. Its combine with the way some Himeya Undine Prima (i guessed she just received same ritual like Alice-cwhan before.) out of nowhere said some motivational word to her, in the beginning of the tunnel water, there. Damn, a shocking therapy really deserved. This is one of the best development of the serialization i've ever seen. And its the huge one. Look at the shocking expression Aika and Akari had while the prosession happen, there. Its really a touchable momentary. I actually thought Akari may be the first Prima. But, i was wrong. The chosen one was Alice-cwhan. She was personally suited well as a perfect Undine. Its obvious from the very first season. She was quite popular. Yet, that promotion really understandable. However, still, its too fast! I can't even said anything. Damn, really, this season served as the closurement never expect before. The way they did it, with this huge progression really unexpected. But, the time has come. Alice-cwhan highly enough competency to be the first ever as the fastest promotional of Prima by the history of Undine in Aqua. A double promotion in a young age? After her graduation in the middle school? Mark history as the legendary Prima? Damn, so good! I, myself, never had it. I am full of jealousy. But, Alice-cwhan really deserved it! Once again, CONGRATULATIONS, ALICE-CWHAN! 4 episode lefts. Lets see how my feeling shred apart by the prossesion of Akari and Aika. Damn, i can't wait that time! Such a big mistake not watching this when its first airing. But, still, i must respect my precious time. So be it, then. Lets end the whole sweet moments of Aria serialization! |

| holy shit rank skipping, honestly was surprised when athena went to the other glove to pull both off. |
 |
| Since when was singing requirement? Is it because of Athena or the company? I thought Athena was the only singing prima. |
| HOLY SHIT. BEST EPISODE. CRIED LOTS OF TEARS. Omedetou, Kouhai-chan! 💙 |

| WOW Best episode to date, Prima Alice!! This whole episode was great, imagine going from middle school to your dream job. |
 |
| Damn bro, Imma be honest, i completely forgot she was a Pair. I just thought she was a single so i was like "She gonna be a prima" then i saw her take one glove and im like "Oh, she gonna be a single" and then nope. Also, she graduated middle school? Do they not have high school considering both Akari and Aika both are like 15-16? Wow. |

| This is easily one of the most beautiful episodes I've ever watched. |
| NO WAY No way did she get that double promotion. From the moment their picnic trip turned into undine and client I suspected that this was gonna be her single test, but when Athena touched her left glove what came next caught me completely off guard. I guess I should'd expected it considering how many people were there and that in Akari's case it was much less crowded. Plus, in all fairness, she did excellent and with a bonus song as well. So the question is, who'll be the next one to be on par with the Orange Princess? |

| First of the three to become a prima |
| Inhales oxygen |
| It all clicked when the one passing by said good luck. With this it feels like the end is near. Noooo |
| This is one of the best episode I've ever seen in my life. I cried of happiness in the end. Alice is definitely my favorite. I love her with all my heart. |
| I was really surprised! I could have never guessed! While I noticed how Alice has started to change and try different things and attitudes now and then, I still felt her change from this episode was a bit sudden. However, if I think about it, something similar happened to me in high school. |
