Loved that ending sequence,I'm a massive sucker for endings like that that show all the characters that appeared throughout the series and considering how emotionally moving Aria is as a whole this ended up being the second time I was brought to tears by this season.

I still can't get over how this show manages to make simplest things into proper heartwarming stories.

Flashback part was kinda boring and twist was expecting but soundtracks, atmosphere and Akari's speech were heart-warming.

Also, looks like Akari x Akatsuki ship will be a real thing. I'm not a big fan of shipping couples in animes like this tho.

Oh, man, wonderful flashback. I somehow realised that boy with Alicia must be related to Akira when talking with Akatsuki. Their dialogue is still same in present, lol. However, the shocking moment come when Alicia told everyone if that boy was just Akira, i rotfl!

After so much absently, Akari had full screen this episode, which is make me full of joy, very well. Then, with the cyrcle problem with Akari, you shall be strong girl. You had your own cyrcle, and like Alicia said, you are the true epicentrum, even if you come far from the ManHome. Thats some amazing moment appear there. Surely be my amazing episode so far, referring how everyone just attach and get a screentime to Akari's cyrcle, even in ManHome itself (Ai monologue). Very well!

Alicia-san was already so cute even when they were kids!

There's a certain feeling that I can't really name when I see all of them together during their childhoods. Nostalgic might be close.

Aria is just so wonderful.

I didn't really enjoy this one much in comparison to everything else this season. I was happy to see the tough girl, whatshername...Akira...show up again. it's been a while. but the whole childhood flashback thing was just kinda...meh. Then wow, Akari's comments afterward were easily the best part of this episode. She might be an airhead but she's very zen.

The memory of them as kids really is one of the funniest moments of the story. Akira the aniki, haha.

It's nice how they let Akari know that not only was she their friend, but that she was accepted as part of Aqua.
Also a nice moment to see everyone's paths intersect near the end.

It was cool to see Akira and Alicia being together even before becoming apprentices.Akira was charismatic back then too,it seems.Then again all the prima are pretty charismatic in their own way.

I also like how they gave props to Akari at the end.When you think about it,maybe the cause of the never ending optimism of the world of Aria series is the fact that it's been shown through the lens of Akari.

This was so adorable and precious seeing them as little kids. Akira is so cool.
I laughed pretty hard when Akari was trying to feed Akatsuki and then Akira.

Probably my fave episode of this season.

Akira was quite the tomboy back in the day, no wonder why she is so popular with the ladies.

I loved the ending where it showed the circle of friends that Akari has and what they were up to. I like how Alice was doing one of her really imposed rules where she was kicking the rock home.
