It's nice to see episodes focusing on the other characters too. Maa is a sneaky bastard climbing up onto the bed like that. Poor President Aria.

Very good! It was nice to have an episode that focuses on Alice-chan.

I love Athena. She's so sweet and clumsy, and she's beautiful and has a nice voice. :wub:

ALLLIIICCCCEEEEEEEEEEEE-CHAANNNNNNNNNNNNN. This one's the best episode so far since it focused on Alice, which is the best undine girl out there. Akari's next though. ALSO, POOR ARIA, MAA GOT INTO THE BED, LOL.

Okay so I loved it everytime Alice say "Dekai". It's just too cute, lol. Also, in the beginning, it was hilarious when she said Dekai a lot of times and Aika said Nyanto a lot of times too, lolol. Plus, Alice with that pink dress was hot. >:3 I want to take her home. :D Her change of character was just awesome. She's a happy-go-lucky now.

I found the mirror scene to be touching. At first, it made me laughed since Alice called Athena stupid but later on, Athena said something really deep and it got me offguard, aaah.

Alice's "Dekai" got kinda annoying at first, but hey, the same jokes are repeated throughout the entire series.
Athena is one interesting character. Her happiness correlates directly to her clumsiness.
And just when Alice needs her the most, she's there. What a touching scene.

In front of people who are smiling, you have fun as well.

If you ask me, this episode provides more character development to Athena-senpai.
Beneath that clumsy exterior, she's actually quite perceptive and knows just what to say to encourage Alice.

damn i'm going throught some tough moments these days and this episode was like honey for my heart :-)

best episde so far...hands down 5/5,and it raised the bar for a season that started much weaker than the previous...

this may as well just take me out of my stupid state of feelings. :-)

I can't believe I didn't comment on this episode before. Just an excellent episode, with an insane amount of character development for Alice and Athena. I don't have a favorite scene in this episode, because every scenes a great scene.

At this point the viewer shouldn't be wondering "is this show good?" They should be wondering "Is Aria even capable of being bad?"
"Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job."

I feel the same way.

This was a great episode, when Maa wasn't being bitey. Aria should just learn to jump at the right moment so Maa goes under him.

Athena shows again that she's no fool, no matter how absentminded she seems. :)
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.

Athna may be a klutz but she really has senpai qualities. I like the character development towards Alice and Athena, but more so to Athena.

Maa-chan finally gets one bite out of Aria after the failed attempts. Aria saying he's home free and then baam Maa-chan gets a bite.

Alice is probably my least fav. among the main cast, but that was some nice development on her part. Really touching words by Athena.

Was I the only one who wanted to see Aika's twintails when she just woke up? I was like screaming "One glance! Just one!" the whole time that scene continued but nope.

Beautiful episode, for this great show it's not just very entertaining most episodes have also a meaningful message.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Felt like the weakest episode to me so far, just not what I look for from this series. I don't really care about Alice's character development. In fact, I like her comedy effect as she is. Remains to be seen how much she really changes from here on.

little weird to have alice up and super enthusiastic like that so quickly, just her waking up earlier to go to school and having decided to attend the party as marked on her invitation should say a lot own its own

i do like this further focus on the characters though

After seeing Aika nice romantic moment, now time for Alice-cwhan to shine, here. A bit sad, though, referring how past story Alice had in that company seems so shit to me. Than, in the next scene, i surprised. A very nice progress over there with a sudden change of heart from Alice, thanks to Athena senpai with her great allegory on a mirror and Alices reflection. I hope to see more of her heart-warming sparkly smile for the rest of the series. Damn, so cute.

Wow for Maa too! Its appearance will be greet me well to the season as well! Ah i forget to comment with the sounds background too, its so fuckin good. Really fitted it, and give me more chill. I guessed thats sounds suit in a perfect way into this show. No shit.
