| one of the best episode of aria... to think that i would be crying over a piece of wood is......really something. that part when an old man suddenly appeared, i already know he was the personification of akari's gondola then tears suddenly start flowing.... i love how aria can make us feel something about things that we take for granted also the Undine op!, goodness! gracious! i love that song so much! 10/5 |
| Aria: The show that made me cry over a goddamn gondola. Actually, I was feeling weak from the moment "Undine" played as the opening theme. That really set up the intensely nostalgic mood of the remainder of the episode. |
| I shed a man tear. You know its real when they play the first season's op. 5/5 |
| @Ray_Light ,lol, comparing Going Merry with the gondola is really stupid. Nice episode though. |
 |
| If you consider how much some people treasure their car, this episode isn't all that odd. Especially since each gondola is custom made, as expensive as that sounds for a small business like the Aria Company. This probably means that Akari is entering a new chapter in her career. It almost felt like a season finale, in a way, with several other characters hitching one last ride on the old gondola as a goodbye. |
| Wow,this is the second time I'm sad over an object, ironically the theme is similar to the other time. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Damn I could relate to what she was feeling so this ep hurt my heart |
| Didn't pick up on who old man was at first cause knew he had to be a representation of something,then it it hit me when he asked if he could ride with Akari a little longer. |

| Aw, Akari was just the cutest when she was going through her checklist before the "Goodbye, Gondola-san" tour. |
 |
| They went and pulled a merry go didn't they! loved it! |
| Aria plays with the heart like a damn fiddle. Gosh, so going to miss this show once it is over. :( 5/5 |

| Oh my god... It was really hard to watch this episode... I cried so much almost every minute... By the way... Who was voice actor for spirit of gondola? That voice is so gorgeous. |

| Cool there's a new endind but RIP the gondola, |
 |
| Rip gondola, new ending too |
 |
| Akari's first tour revealed, with so many memorable momentary. Such a sad episode, i kinda hate how Akari always over reacted to little thing like gondola, and else. Well, some tear lost might be okay. But, hey, while listening on Akatsuki song, im laughed on first sight! Thank you, Akatsuki san, you always be my moodbooster on this series. Forget to mentioning, very nice added in the old opening song to the episode! Its kinda relevant for the good bye scenes! And nothing to say good for the new ending soundtrack. Its okay for me! |

| A very heartwarming and sad episode. Never really thought about the gondola itself before this. One of the best episodes in my opinion. The old man was a great representation of the gondola, wanting to be and ride with her for just a little while longer. When the song started to play, I was pleasantly surprised. For a while I could not put my finger on why I really loved and wanted to hear it, why I felt so soothed and nostalgic hearing it, until I realised it was the opening for the first season. It really brings back memories of the first season. Aria's such a wonderful and peaceful series. Sad that Ai-chan couldn't ride in it one last time. At least everyone else did, including Akatsuki-san who was very deep and thoughtful here. Loved how she shared her last moments with the gondola with others, and not just herself. Sayounara, gondola! |

| this shows OST is top tier. |
 |
| That's the second time I cry over a boat |
| Why did I never noticed this amazing episode in my first time watching xD Now I'm currently binge-ing aria again and every episode feel really special for me. This episode even made me cry while I don't even do it before. Goodbye, Gondola san :"(( |
| Watch aria the animation and it's sequel. |
| What an absolutely beautiful episode. "Maybe they're having a farewell party?" He was the boat :'( |
| Love the reuse of the old OP and the use of a new ED. Quite the melancholic episode, it was especially sad with all the pictures Akari took and her crying at the end. |

| Mc when she was younger and before a single |
