| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode is all about Aika-chan and I love it!! |
 |
| omg...Aika-chan in CASUAL clothing and short hair is just killing me... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| One of the best episodes. |
 |
| they should all wear normal clothing once in a while D: anyway, awesome episode, loved it. aika is more tsundere-er now with her short hair<3 |
 |
| Another wonderful episode. Like all of them. |
 |
| The magic of hairpin. XD |
| I can't believe that I am falling in love for this show. Even if the story is different on each episode, it would still leave a heart warming feeling. Remarkably, this is the reason why I prefer to watch this series at a very slow pace. |
     |
| hahas~ this series is relaxing in some sense =] great episode about Aika |
     |
| Aika and Al moment was bloody adorable. |
 |
| Aika is my favourite Aria character now! <3 |
 Credits for the av go to whispering-eden.livejournal.com =) I used to be Dolce_Vitka here, but Vitka_Lynx is my nickname at alost all other sites, so I decided to take it here, too ^___^ |
| Aika looks ridiculously good in her casual clothes. Shame that i couldn't find any good images of her in them to use in a wallpaper. |
| Nice ep its good that they made the Aika part for more than one episode. Aika looked pretty good in this ep  |

| I simply loved both parts of the ep. Aika running off to show Al her hairstyle was really cute, but does she not want to admit her feelings towards him? I'm glad the show is focusing on other characters, makes it a lot more interesting. |

I'm glad the show is focusing on other characters, makes it a lot more interesting. Well, she DOES get embarrassed really easily. Not surprised that happened here. At first I was skeptical of Aika's hairstyle, but it looks so good in this episode. Also she was really looking good in front of the mirror about midway through. :3 |
| Oooh Miss Alicia It's our own secret garden Lesbians at war |
| Okay I never saw Aika to be a girl in the previous season since she acted like a tomboy but in this season my thoughts about Aika changed drastically. I now think of her as a girl, a hot and cute one to be infact. Few things I loved on the first part were: 1. Aika's clothing when she went out of her room to buy a pudding. Oman she looked so hot. 2. She's butthurt jealous because she saw her friends row together without her, lol. 3. When Akari and Alice went to Aika's room and Aika cried. Oooh she looked so cute. Uryuu uryuu~ Few things I loved on the second part were: 1. Aika's hairpin. Yeah, she looked cute. I think she's the most fashionable girl out there in Aria. 2. Aika's conversation with Al. Oooh my she was really happy to hear those words from Al. Now all they need to do is to say their true feelings. 3. The Gnome town. For some reason it reminded me of TTGL's underground cities, lol. Looked really interesting. Lovely episode. I'm glad they're focusing about Aika now because she didn't get an episode in the past. |
| Aika x Al is lovely :3 |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I liked how this ep's main focus was on Aika. It was really interesting to see the Gnome's workplace too. I felt like I wanted more from this ep, but I got it after rewatching it again. I'd hate to admit it, but the insert with lyrics that are really about new short hair and a new hairpin felt cheezy. :[ But hey, Aria without embarrassing things wouldn't be Aria. |
 |
| aika was too cute this ep :D thank you aria for another great episode :-) 5/5 |

| Ever since Aika lost her long hair... She's impossibly cute.XD She turned into a cry baby, she showed her puppy-love side, she crave her pudding... and her short hair+hair pin is just <3 again, she is really cute this episode. |

| haha Aika X Al is becoming more apparent with this ep. |
| Aika chan is tsundere |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| weeh' someone is in love : D |
| Oh that shy Aika-chan. |
| あらあら。。。 |
| what a cute episode! I really love her new short hair=) |
| Aika. All of my HNNNGGGG. Her new hairstyle makes her look even cuter. She's had somewhat of a personality change along with it. |
| So Aika really is going to be with the shortie. Hope he's going to grow up even a little. |
 |
| Cute ending is cute! Aika all the way! |
 |
| Aika is just glorious. Aria is so nice to watch. Tea+this = perf combo. |
 |
| I loved Aika since first season and now is like hhnnnggg. Damm that lucky shortie. Also I want more Akira female side too. |
| When did Aika get so adorable all of a sudden? I want to see more development with Al, though. I feel like I haven't seen any real chemistry between them yet. |
  |
| An episode from Aika-chan's perspective? Lovely change of pace, not to mention that we got to see one of the main girls in casual clothing, I can't recall Akari wearing anything else then her uniform or pajamas all of the sudden, at least Alice-chan has her school outfit. I loved the part where Aika-chan had to realize that the world moves on even in our absence. I didn't like the second part though as I'm not a fan of Akatsuki/Woody/Al, I couldn't enjoy Aika's infatuation with Al. I hope the two trios won't be paired up, that would be terrible. Anyway, nice episode, first part 5/5, second 3/5 so I'll go with a 4/5. |
| Wow finally ... some tsundere side of aika ......and her new hairstyle .....so cute ....she used to be my least favourite character before she cut her hair ......oh! the hairpin is cute :) . |
| I think I'm starting to become like Akari (just a tiny bit). When Aika sneaked out, I noticed that the girl talking to Akira said "I received a message of thanks from my customer yesterday!" Immediately I thought "that must have been nice, she was able to leave a good impression on her customer and probably showed him or her a wonderful side of Neo Venezia." I can see why Akari and Alicia do that so much, it makes life so much more interesting to turn every detail into something fantastic. Hmm, I thought romance was only implied in this series, I wonder if they'll actually go through with Aika and Al at some point. It was cute when Al commented on the hair pin. He probably noticed it from the start. |
 |
| When did Aika become this cute??? They all should wear casual more :( But isn't Al very much older than Aika?? Not that i have much of a problem with age gap..not really a fan of Al though :P |
| I gotta say, I'm not too used to Aika's new haircut yet. So glad she is happy at the end of this episode. |
 |
| Aika in casual clothes was really cute :D And Al you smooth bastard ^^ |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Another Aika episode ^_^ lovely I love it when she blushes and says doo doo or something around those lines. |
 |
| Aika....EMBARRASSING REMARKS ARE NOT ALLOWED!!!! |
 |
| Now I don't know who my favourite character is out of the 3 apprentices. Aika's become really cute every since she cut her hair. That crybaby Aika was just too adorable. And Aika with her new hairstyle and those first set of hairpins looks a lot like Lain from Serial Experiments Lain. I'm not sure if Al was simply being nice by complementing her as a friend (or worse, a clueless love interest), or he actually likes her. And it's always great when we learn more about the sci-fi aspect of the show, like those gravity stones in this episode. |
| Two waifu episodes in a row, I am in bliss. Those casual clothes, guess short hair ain't bad after-all <3 Ah Aika, your presence matters to all of us. But yeah, I can understand her. "This isn't allowed, allowed." "Wonderful isn't allowed during training!" LOL. First "It's pudding's fault." Now, it's "Hairpin's fault." Too cute. Dat smile was so precious. |

| That outfit+short hair... I'm in love <3 ! |
 |
| Yay!! Another Aika-chan's Episode. DAMN Al-kun doesn't have the slightest idea how lucky he is.. |
 |
| Cold Open: Aika tells Akari and Alice to work hard to become Primas when she disappears. My response, "what the hell, Aika?! What's making you depressed? This is oddly dark for Aria." She does talk about it in a hypothetical fashion, it's still dark. First Part: An Aika focused episode, not bad. It was all cute and fluffy until she dropped her ice-cream/pudding. Me: "What would have been so bad to make you that upset?" Aika explains about how well off Akari and Alice is without her. How the world is able to move on without her. Wow, that is understandable and incredibly sad. Then, Akari mentions how she felt the same way as Aika and it makes me wonder what made Akari felt that way. Seriously though, the idea of your existence fading away and seeing your loved ones move on is definitely a scary thought... In the end, cherish the time you have with your loved ones, people. Second Part: Aika mentions she doesn't know why she is feeling anxious so many times and I keep on saying "Girlll, it's cuz you like Al." Awfully cute throughout. The subs lyrics for the insert song were completely literal, not as much impact as other inserts but I guess they needed something different for this character moment. |
