| Akari >////< |
 |
| an episode about the wonders of Akari xD haha~ |
     |
| Akari definitely has some charm over strangers and friends alike. |
| This ep confirms it. Akari is my fav character in Aria! |
     |
| You know, some say that lucky individuals, those who seem that they can control luck, actually do indeed have quite a bit of control over their circumstances; they're not just thrust into fortunate circumstances randomly. In the case of Akari it's self-evident. |
| Oooh Miss Alicia It's our own secret garden Lesbians at war |
| <3 Akari. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Gawddamnit Akari, you should give me some of your powers so that I could attract people too. I have no idea how she does that since I'm having a hard time talking to someone I really don't know. :( Few things I loved in this episode were: 1. Aika and Alice stalking Akari because they got curious as to how Akari made those friends, lolol jealous much? :3 2. Aika saying "What was that?!" many times everytime the Vaporetto ported to its station. T'was so hilarious. 3. Alice and his "Dekai". Also good to see her blush when she was talking about the travelling puppeteer to be a corpseman. It was a good episode. Who would have expect to see the lost memories of Aika and Alice? Oooh what a sudden turn of events. =P |
| ^ Anime glamorizes things. Of course it's not going to be that easy talking to strangers and getting them to open up. :P |
| This ep makes me want to live in this world more than anything. The power of Akari is quite something. And this ep reminded me that appearances aren't everything. There is a deeper meaning through someone's actions, i.e., the puppeteer. |
 |
| Akari is awesome :D...if everyone would think like her the world would be a better pace srsly :p 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) |
| Akari is a very sociable person :3 although that was pretty obvious before this but still nice xD |
| Ara ara ara... |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| You see those day to day stuff in this anime, but still love it. ARIA is so special! Akari is soooo adorable. This world needs people like her more than anything else. |

| if only i could be someone like akari ^-^ akari <333 |
darkerealm said: ^ Anime glamorizes things. Of course it's not going to be that easy talking to strangers and getting them to open up. :P Well for some people it is! My grandma is just like this actually, always opening up to completely random strangers on the subway or even on the sidewalk, and every time it works out well for her. I could never be like that, but I gotta admit, when you're so open to everyone else, people are open to you in return. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Nice! Well, as always >_> Akari ♥ |
| あらあら。。。 |
| We need more people like Akari in this world. |
| As much as I love Aria but this episode left me a little disappointed. Maybe the fact that the corresponding manga chapter is one of my favourite spoiled its adaption for me. In the manga Aika and Alice are seriously amazed that Akari knows so many people and realize it is Akari's special talent to bring all different kinds of people together, connecting to their hearts and establishing a calming atmosphere - as much as the special steering and navigational skills are Alice's, but here it is a simple: "she is mysterious". Even these two great scenes were missing ... - where they realized it is the first time they actually have done something together and talked to the other without Akari around. Even though that was the case - it wasn't awkward for them - and they speculate if this was also one of Akari's skills. - where they were spotted by Akari after she dropped the oranges she bought - and they agree secretly that even though Akari is that much of an amazing person. She needs some levelheaded people like them around. Also the scenes with the puppeteer and their criminal fantasies - which they added - didn't fit the atmosphere of the episode. |

| Quite a nice episode, but I'm lacking some setting that I want from Aria... |
 |
| Akari is a miracle of life |
  |
| An episode focusing on my two favorite characters? Great! Loved the moment when they both said that sappy lines aren't allowed, I was waiting for that. Akari the Mystery 5/5. |
| I envy how well Akari is able to get along with everyone she meets so naturally. It must be wonderful to turn the most mundane and seemingly meaningless things into miracles and joys of life. |
 |
| Aika: "It's looks a little retro...and a little stupid." Alice: "Do you mean Akari-senpai?" LMAO. Aliiiice haha <3 I wish I had Akari filters too. Her social skill is through the roof. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Aika and Alice thought the guy in the long black coat was going to drag Akari into his deeds. To their surprise the guy in the long black coat was a puppeteer and Akari was helping him entertain the children. The scene brings back memories for Alice and Aika as well who both saw him a couple years back. Akari is one odd girl but that's what I like about her. I also like it when Akari saysHuh? after Aika says No sappy lines, it's so cute to hear Akari say that. |
 |
| Alice's "Aye, aye sir" ftw. Nice Alice and Aika relation development. Very enjoyable episode. On a side note I feel bad for Aria's seiyuu. His recording sessions must have been retarded. |
| Akari's mysterious powers must definitely be investigated more. |
 |
| Wait- did Alice and Aika used to live in the same neighbourhood? Or did the man just travelled a lot of neighbourhoods? Seems to be the latter case. Yup, Akari is really strange but in a good kind of way. Without her, the show wouldn't be even half as good. |
 |

| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| This is amazing And Alice-chans " Aye Aye Sir " was great |
 |
| If only most of the people living in this gay world could be more like Akari........... Alice's Aye Aye Sir was hnnngghhhh LMAO at her thinking the puppeteer was a corpse carrier, too much detective novel I guess XD |
 |
| Just rewatched the episode,I wanna change my vote from Like to Love it. |
 |
| I like how Alice immediately assume he stuffed corpse inside the suitcase Alice, you're reading too much detective novel Why "Aye aye sir"? xD Aww the ending... Cute and still wonderful episode |
"Signature removed"   |
| for some reason i really liked the doll person |
 |
| Akari is really good at making friends. |
 |
Huh, I haven't read the manga but I think I would have preferred that, too. Well, it was still fun to watch Aika and Alice interact without Akari, even if this wasn't commented on in the end. |
| More people in rl should be like Akari, that would make the world a better place. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Yes, we need more people like Akari in this world, but what I think we really need is for people to watch this anime and learn something from Akari and others.. How I feel I am a terrible person when I see Akari.. I nearly always have bad premonition for people, I despise people.. Yes, this world people have their own problem (you know something about their belief), but really if I think about it, most of them still have a good heart.. And even for ones who don't really have a good heart, still can learn, maybe from this anime is one of them ... |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| First episode in Natural to make me cry. Something about the pure optimism of this series touches my otherwise cold pessimistic heart. I wish had Akari's amazing social skills. |
| There were a lot of wonderful moments in the episode, but the best part was Alice's "Sasasasasasasa" when "sneaking" onto the Vaporetto. |
 |
| That was magical. It's been a while since I last watched Aria, and I've missed how every time I watch it, I feel cleansed and healed. Aika blushing was just too precious. This was a very good episode. Akari is so charming because she's so... friendly and open, I guess. Wish I could be more like her! |
 |
| It's basically stalking... |
 |
| Akari meets a lot of people, it was fun |
 |
| The question that Ai-cwhan asked at the end of the scene was so retorical for these show, "Is it true (all) that meeting was coincidental?" Only Akari knows the answer, and Ai is aware of it. Okay, for this episode shows a big improvement on the Undine trio trainee relationship. Its all about the true nature of Akari, who easily blends in and finds new things toward new people she met. Surprisingly shocking to both of them, but not to me, tho, how Akari can easily encounters some new world, even magical and mythical thingy happen on her life at Neo-Venezia. Im laughed in Aika and Alice's POV when following Akari. An okay episode for me. |
