Always loved the way they introduced cats and that mysterious lovely yet sad setting in Aria, and boy this wasn't any different!

This three episode little arc was really amazing and I really loved that ending!

Quite the take back on Aria if you ask me, that ending sure got a bit of me I must say! Looking forwards to see what's next!

Good old cait sith.

What a somber yet great ending to an arc. I'm sure that Ai will find love later on but at least this will put Towano Peter and Mato-chan on good terms and hopefully they will start dating.

there is always the incest route for Ai ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ane chan did the hardest choice damn tears of joy were shed.
Man I Have such a strange feeling now thanks to this show.

Edit: I wondered why this thread was so dead and remembered that Mal was shut down for two months back in May.

You can really tell this show is from Kozue Amano as shades of the mysticism that permeated Aria The Natural keep appearing.

you know what i think i enjoy the sudden paranormal-ish change in the show. it was a weird transition but its pretty much the same wholesome environment. what a twist that the sensei is peter.

So... was it all a dream, a different timeline/alternate reality or a mix of both? I'm still quite confused about it.

Honestly, of the weirdest love triangles I've seen in a while and I'm saying it in the bad way. Ai's interactions with Peter were as forced as in the previous episode and the fact that she fell in love after knowing him for only a couple of hours was even worse. In the end, this arc didn't add something significant to her character if you ask me.

Towano-sensei being Peter in the end was to be expected at some point but it just made things a bit more confusing since as I said, I'm not sure if we can call all that happened... just a dream. And on a side note, I found the "blue stripes" explanation to be particularly lame and disgusting to hear but maybe I'm just overreacting here.

Overall, I didn't really like this arc. The concept of "loneliness" and "escapism" could have been easily approached with a more realistic example/situation which could have been blended better with the series' context. Sadly, this wasn't the case and it just made things feel completely jarring and dissonant for the most part.

This mini arc didn’t interest me at first but by the end I thought it was a nice little story. I think Peter’s change in character helped with that. I didn’t like when he was pulling Ai around and being overly-assertive and kinda creepy at first tbh. Though Ai falling for him felt kinda forced. Mato-chan-sensei’s relationship with Peter felt more natural. And good thing too since Towano, who’s been trying to get close to her at the start of this arc, turns out to be Peter. Though there’s been other teachers since the start of the series so if Towano has been here the whole time, I’d be really impressed.

As for what exactly Neverland is, I don’t think too much thought should be placed on this aspect. It’s meant to be fantasy/supernatural anyway. But I think Neverland is a dreamworld that is made by baby Towano. For some reason, Neverland moves with the time but Towano physical body is still at the same time. And somehow Ai, who at that point of time is considered as someone from the future, managed to get into Neverland ? Like I said, don’t think too much.

It was a nice detour and gave several nods to Aria. It’s nice to revisit that rather mysterious, slightly sad vibe that comes with Aria’s more supernatural side. Also, just realized there’s an Ai in Aria too and she also has strong connections to Cait Sith right ?

This has to be one of the worst, most stupid love triangle stories I have seen in my life.

Even though I prefer the find-magic-in-everyday-situations feeling I get from this anime I did like the blending of fantasy and reality they've done in s2.

Las episode I felt that the way a grown man reacted to a high school girls panties didn't match the tone of the show and now I get what it meant. Good thing he isn't a creep.

The romance is very trashy and very forced, how tf the author can think this love story so enjoyable, thanks to fast forward 1.6x and skip 10s i can fast watching this sh*t
It's still Bother me to remember how tf ai can fall in love with peter in just a mere second, are the author easily for in love with a passing dude on the street? If yes then she is hopeless, and why don't you just add jack Sparrow to made the story more laughable when pikari and teko searching a jar of davy jones heart with jack Sparrow in the Depth of the sea
