| I'm glad to see the other characters coming back. ^^ Lol. Alice is so much like me it's scary. |
 |
| Alice was so cute in this episode! It's nice to see her wear something other than her normal uniform for a change. |
 |
| I liked the new song for Athena. It's definitely a more upbeat song. I still like the song from season 1 more though, it's just one of those that you can close your eyes to and drift away. |
 |
| maybe i'll try stepping only on shadows tomorrow on my way home. XD |
| I did that a lot when I was a kid, stepping on shadow only , and kick the rock all the way home XD, this is so nostalgic |
 |

| That was fun. It reminded me of the old days when I was still a kid. I was also doing what Alice did way back then. |
     |
| Alice is so adorable :3 Stepping only on shadows, kicking rocks, etc. I used to do stuff like that all the time! Actually, I still do if I get bored xD;; |
| Alice was insanely cute in this episode. |
 |
| o_o stepping only on shadows xD haha ~ such a childish and cute side of Alice |
     |
| An ep based solely on stepping on shadows could have been incredibly boring, but Aria pulled it off perfectly! The growth of Alice and Athena's relationship truly shined. |
     |
| Alice is weird. o.o |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Now this is what you call an incredibly lovely episode. I fell in love with Aria completely after this one. This episode has everything. It was hilarious and touching at the same time. What else do you want? Few things that I really LOVED were: 1. Alice and her resolutions plus rules. Oh how I remember that when I was a kid. I used to do what Alice did in this episode. She was so cute. I might change my favorite Aria girl vote to Alice after this episode. 2. The ending was really touching. Alice now looked at Athena as an ally. I loved how she said Athena can help because she's a special one to her. 3. That technique Athena used on Akari's boat to help Alice not lose on her game. I think I can see why she became 1 of the legendary fairies. Singer + pro at rowing boat, lol. Pretty much this episode was full of win. Not only because of Alice, well mainly Alice, but also Athena and her new song that she composed. =P |
| Cute episode. I was dying when Aria sung Barcarolle. I'm starting to like Alice a lot more after this ep. |
 |
| yes at last an episode with a great hidden meaning :D Alice-chan=too darn cute xp 5/5 |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| What an interesting game. maybe I should try it someday. :3 |
| Alice finally smiled ^_^ Now I really think about it, I never seen Alice smile like that ^_^ And I'm really amaze, Athena's speed in rowing is... wow. Not to mention her reaction... Completely different from season 1 episode 11. (when she was younger) a nice episode ^_^ |

| Looks like Alice still has her innocence. Amazing speed rowing by Athena, no wonder she is one of the three fairies. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| geez alice is so childish <3 and such a joyful song from athena ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ |
| Nah, for me it was kinda booring, although i've liked that Alice smiled. 4/5. |
| あらあら。。。 |
| So you see guys the floor is hot magma! |

 |
| Oh God, this was one great episode! Since Alice-chan is my favorite character in Aria, I'm always looking forward to more scenes featuring her. We got some insight into her personality and we witnessed her realizing how important Athena-senpai is to her; what's not to like? Athena's song was so relaxing... 5/5. |
| One of my fav. episodes so far. Great themes and more focus on Alice and Athena. |
 |
| Such a sweet episode, Alice making up with Athena was heartwarming, Alice really showed a more fun, cuter side this episode. |
 |
| Stepping on shadows. Story of my life. |
| Alice overload :D! |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Athena's new song is amazing ^^ Alice's rules and how she refuses to quit, love that determination. |
 |
| Alice's stress face is the best of the three. And also Athena just makes you melt. |
 |
| Man, this was the most adorable episode. Alice (and also Akari) episodes are always the best. I had a big dumb smile on my face the whole time. |
| Athena's new song is nice. I like the old one a lot more tho. I actually used to do a lot of dat Alice resolution game, surprised actually. It brought back some good memories. Everything without shadow is magma, man this was exactly me there! Poor Athena, wish Alice could be a little nicer to her. It took me a second to realize it but what Athena did there made me realize how much of a kind person she is. Finally Alice got dere around Athena! Love their relationship. Now I feel like stepping on shadows myself, all over again. |
 |
| d'awww, alice~ |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| I used to this as well when i was a child, stepping only on shadows and kicking pebbles on the streets... Ahh good old days. |
 |
| Good episode liked the focus on Athena and Alice hopefully similar episodes to come. |

| She's so kiddish, that's cute xD Never failed to make me smile, not even once Aria oh Aria, I don't want you to end :( |
"Signature removed"   |
| kinda dislike Alice but Athena is so sweet |
 |
| I didn't like how Alice talked to Athena when she was trying to help her. We need more episodes focused on Athena! |
 |
| Some of the best episodes of Aria come with the silliest premise, and this is one example. Anyways, it's always nice when Alice finds new things to appreciate about her roommate. We've probably seen her smile before, but never so gleefully like this time. |
| Really sweet episode, made me remember my days in grade school. And Alice was super cute. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| To me, the highlight of this episode is how Alice realized what Athena was trying to do to her. She's been so occupied with her goal to only disregard any other possibility around her, yet Athena's resolve finally knocks Alice back to her sense, what a lovely duo. And the self-rule that Alice uses is not something strange to me, I can completely relate. Together with her resolution and competitiveness, but most of all, the "do it all myself" trait is something I really like. She might seem to be childish but she does have the mature side deep down there as well, unbeknownst to her anyhow. |
| Revisiting this, I appreciated how the episode revealed that Athena sang her new song only around Alice (Akari did not recognize it). |
| This episode was so cute, I love Alice~~ |
| AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA |
