Bocolo Day (Valentines Day) at Neo-Venezia. The argument between Aika and Akatsuki was lol.

The salamander is kind of pathetic. Al-kun, on the other hand, is pure win.

It was a cute episode~ :)
The Al and Aika moment was too sweet~ Darn, I was hoping for some more development! Nonetheless - Akatsuki was definitely the highlight of this episode~ Haha, he's pretty awesome xD

Seriously loved this episode (as per usual).
The Boccolo legend was very cute and I loved seeing Aika and Al together~ Bit of an odd couple but adorable none-the-less. I wanted something to happen, like Jaz said.

Akari and Akatsuki were really cute. For some reason I thought that Akatsuki liked Akari before this episode (been a while since I watched the first season) but hearing his plans for Alicia were sweet. I was really hoping he'd be able to confess to her but him giving Akari the rose was good enough. Why are men so romantic on Mars? Huh?

Loved the ending scene with the roses all bobbing in the waterways. Considering Aria has quite average animation they still manage to put together such gorgeous scenes. Other studios really should take note of that.

Probably the best ep for me in the Aria series so far. I just love all the main characters were given there time to shine, plus it was definitely the most hilarious ep.

But the ending got me thinking...could we hope to see a Akari x Akatsuki pairing in the future? Though I hope that Akatsuki gets his chance with Alicia cause I completely know how he feels.

One of the best episodes out there. First of all, this episode contained a lot of humorous scenes as well as romantic ones. I was basically laughing the first half and then really touched by the sweetness on the other half.

Few things that really stood out for me were:
1. Akatsuki giving Akari a flower then later on blushed since Akari told him it was her first time receiving a flower from a boy. Akari x Akatsuki anyone?
2. Akatsuki and Akari practicing on how he's going to give the flowers to Alicia but then the real Alicia came in, LOLOL. Akari's "Ara ara" was also good. :D
3. Aika and Al together. Aika blushing was just a sight to see.
4. Alice blushing when she gave Athena a flower was also epic win.

Pretty much I loved this episode. It's also good to see that Acqua Alta. The first few minutes felt like a deja vu though, well for me it felt like it, lol.

Love it when Al gave the rose gem to Aika; I believe everybody here suspects that Al is totally into Aika. I bet they're going to be together in the end <3

I have been suspecting for a while that even though Akatsuki has a crush on Alicia, he's actually starting to like Akari in that way, too. You can tell from the way he usually treats her since the previous season. Also hope they end up together <33

Aria never fails to make smile.
The conclusion to this episode was wonderful.

There were so many funny moments too.
From Akari's impression of Alicia to Akatsuki constantly messing up his declaration of love.

Akari said "It's like we're in a mirror land" and I was going to say "embarrassing remarks aren't allowed."
Then Aika randomly showed up and made it so. That was pretty funny.

I'm not as enthusiast as most of you about this episode, for me, it's more of an average episode of the season.

like some that mentioned... Akari X Akatsuki anyone?

I am quite impressed by how much the quality of the Aria series has shot up. The storytelling has gotten far better at least. I still have issues with the cats.

This episode was awesome. Akatsuki is seriously my favorite character in this series. (Followed closely by Akari of course) He just brightens up all the scenes hes in! I rewound that scene with him and Akari like 4 times. Hilarious. I really like Akari x Akatsuki.

Poor Woody, that was kinda bad on Akatsuki's part.

Aika is so moe, I still don't get why is she least popular among our main 3. It bothers me a lot.

Akari copying Alicia was hilarious.

"Alicia-san, come back! Back... back... back..." LMAO

I got my Akatsuki x Akari, yes! Please make them canon.

One of my fav episodes for sure.
