Alicia's buttocks, for example, looked like curvy female buttocks, not like typical male buttocks.
this comment amused me much more than it really should have.

But yes, I totally agree. Hell, it took me until Al appeared to work out that they had actually been genderswapped at all.

I found the whole "sideburns" thing hilarious, though.

This was quite an awesome episode and very funny! Just the concept of having all the characters change sex and than the childhood story from Akatsuki was just funny as hell xD

Awesome episode :D

Gross falsetto's aren't allowed! Laughed a fair bit through this. Funniest I've seen of the seasons so far.

Love seeing Akatsuki young again. What a little champ.

Couldn't contain my laughter for the first half. Was not expecting a 'rule 63' episode lol

I can believe that with technology to terraform a planet, there are still some people who send handwritten mails. I can put up with non-main characters not having names. I can tolerate the romance~ish thing with the the three guys, but to actually make a genderbent episode? Out of all the endless possibilities of parallel worlds? That's just over the line above a stack of sharks.

And then an Akatsuki segment...Not one scene made me relax or smile, I just cringed like Aria-shachou. I actually hated an Aria episode, I can't believe something like this happened! Maybe it was actually me, who ended up in a parallel world or something. The only saving grace was Akatsuki's mother, and Aria-shachou's desperation. I guess I'll be skipping this when I rewatch the franchise in the future. 1/5.

Quite a lackluster episode, this was.
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

I didn't immediately realize it was a parallel world. I just thought Akari sounded weird and that Alice cut her hair. Then I saw Al and it finally made sense. Reverse gender parallel world lmao. Female Akatsuki was weird but female Woody was just...*shivers*

Male Akira was hot O__O

Wow Akatsuki's mom is really pretty. And his brother looked good in his teens. Looks like he really let himself go lol

tbh I only watched this for the genderbend world episode :P

Female Akatsuki singing and female Woody are hilarious. But the undine outfits are kinda weird; it could've been separated between shirt and pants instead.
And male Alicia is one pretty boy(although not as great as the manga rendition though; on the manga (s)he looks flawless).

1st half was very good with Prez.Aria seeing the others acting acting strabge..,


Didn't really like the 2nd half but it was nice seeing Akatsuku's past.

Ah Aria actually travelled to a different world, Akari's words are too powerful. Male Aria tho LOL. I bet it's Aria's dream.

Male Alice works but Aika in particular looks strangely good. Akatsuki is too cute tho <3
"My feelings are burning hot-"
"Gross falsettos are not allowed." LMAO

Aria got his girl: Maa! 'she' even bit him xD

Aria's "I knew it!" LOL.

You survived the fall, Aria.

Akatsuki's screentime, hell yeah! Those poses LMAO.
"Artificial human-" LMAO.
His mom is super-hot!

He freaking questions about his identity from his mom, genius. His interactions with his bro were pure gold, so realistic.
He used to be THE storm. For a moment, I thought he was crying in that trash can. I swear, he needs his own series.
Awesome mom, give me more of her.

Happens Akatsuki happens. Hang in there.

Well that was a fucking snorefest wasn't it ? First half literally sent me to sleep mode....second half completed the rut.

This season really went downhill in the last two episodes, the last ''good'' episode was probably the ghost story. I'm hoping that these last four episodes can change my mind.

I'm disappointed with Alicia and the other fairies' male forms. I expected handsome hunks not boys.

A parallel genderbender Aria universe? Burn it! Burn it with fire!

Akatsuki's childhood part was boring again. Also what's wrong with moms in this anime? Every mom look like in her twenties.

An average episode for me. However, its worthy enough to get a relaxation moment toward everything happen bad on my life. Its cool to see Aria Saychou perspectives again. Its such a long wait, that scenes happen last on season 1. For this season i get that on this episode. Quite a hard wait to me for that cuteness appearance be the star of the episode, a little shame.

I can't say much for a parallel world that Aria Saychou got enterred. Everything were really weird and not right at all. Glad if that shit end in the nice direction, and poor for Saychou to getting that moment. For the second part, its okay. Not good enough, nor bad. Funny Akatsuki, as always. Only Akatsuki's Mama in young appearance make that part was my strong point to me. Lol.

The idea of a genderbent world was pretty interesting, especially with the alternate OP, but I felt they didn't really use it to its full potential. The male Undines barely looked any different from their female counterparts.

Anybody else notice that in the alternate universe, the Aria Company welcome sign was "Well come" but in the main universe, it's "Welcome?"

Gotta say that Akatsuki's mom is, uh, quite attractive :o

Mmm, Akatsuki having a male voice despite being female was pretty strange, not quite a fan of that aspect of this episode.

Those breasts tho, damn.

I don't know if that's because I'm tired, but the first half made me laugh so hard. The parts with Hime (I'll never get tired of that smug face), Akatsuki and Woody were particularly hilarious.
I wouldn't have mind if the entire episode was like that but this poor Aria needs a break, right ? Though I hoped for a genderbent Ai, as well as maybe a joke about Maa being a girl. Too bad.
I didn't find the second half as funny, but it was still fun and sweet.
Well, an episode like that was needed. The series has been particularly beautiful lately (especially the last two episodes), but it's nice to have a little comical break.

The male Undine uniforms looked so nice! I snickered at the "male friendship" text over the roses.

And Akatsuki will forever be uncool in Alicia's eyes now XD It was funny to see his brother teasing him like that.
