| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh this episode was comedy gold. I really hated Aika's hair previously, she had the most ridiculous pigtails I'd seen in my life, so to see her burn it off like that and everyone's stunned reaction, so funny. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |

| One of the best episodes with Aika ! ^___^ I like very much her new hair ! |
   |
| Aika-chan looks now very cute ^^ |
 |
| It was sad when she having the arugment with Akira but glad everything turn out great! Hahaha, the look on everyone's faces when she burnt her hair was priceless XD |
 |
| ok, aika is now officially super cute with short-hair... Her previous haristyle ruined her image...no more!!! |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I love how this show can go from silly to emotional in a split second. Seeing Aika's burned fro-ball of hair cracked me up. And Akira's "lecture" to Aika was awesome. Either way, I like the new Aika style better. |
| Aria makes me so happy. |
 |
| been waiting for this episode since I saw pictures of aika's short hair :3 love it, !no more braid-pig-tails 8D yes, their faces were hilarious when her hair got burned xD |
 |
| Great episode~ Aika's previous hair was a tad bizarre so seeing her long hair was really gorgeous on her. However, it was sad that it got burned - nonetheless the 'shoulder afro' was pretty funny xD And so was everyone's expression when they saw it~ But her new hair suits her well - she looks really cute ^_^ |
| im in the middle of re re re rewatching aria ^^ and about that one .. i would have seen her a little bit longer with the long hair its rly sad .... but to me its not that prob since im a ♥Alicia♥sama♥ fan xD |

| i don't really find Aika attractive " B E F O R E " but this episode really showcased aika's beauty, love her "semi-long" haircut. Golden episode as usual. |
| I cant say i didnt like Aika's hairstyle before, but with short hair she looks much better and cute, episode was beautifull, funny and sad at the same time. Wonderfull ^^ |
 |
| Aika's sobbing noise is so cute and funny lol. |
| I like anime and stuff |
| I see it now. That's how she got her short hair. I have to agree that her initial hair style is not fitting for her. However, I prefer her long hair style anytime of the day. |
     |
| Personally, I thought that her semi-long style was the cutest.. I agree that I never really liked her hair before, it didn't seem right. It was pretty down though. the new real short cut is still pretty cute though. & yeah, I agree that the looks everyone gave her when she burnt her hair was hilarious xD oh and, Akira's 'speech' was great as well. |
| I prefer Aika with semi-long hair =] looks cuter ... i find |
     |
| Oh god. Aika's crying made me laugh so much. It's so cute. Her new hair is fierce. I love it. |
 |
| In this episode Aika and Akira looked so much more ALIVE! |

| Ahhh Aria, where the world's greatest problems revolve around a bad hair day. Pretty hilarious ep, I love all the different chibi faces that go with each character. Aika's hairstyle definitely fits her and is also super cute. She'll have no trouble catching Al now ;) |
     |
| I kinda liked it, and this episode seems to run to counter the sort of reservations I had about the previous episode in some ways via Akira's statements to Aika. However, I couldn't help but think this episode was built too much like an episode of Full House -- for once, the moral felt a bit more forced than I'd have liked for the show. |
| Oooh Miss Alicia It's our own secret garden Lesbians at war |
| For what seemed like such a long episode with many "sad" moments in it the comedy was amazing. Found myself laughing at Aria again. Loved Akia's new hair style, looked so much better then her old one. |
| Oh my goddess, Aika is the cutest thing ever! Uryuyuryuryu~ Everyone's reaction when they saw her burnt, ruined hair was so hilarious. |
 |
| This is definitely one of the best episodes out there. It has both hilarious and touching moments. Everytime they all gather up, it seems to be more fun than usual, lol. Finally, we get an episode about Aika. Few things that I loved were: 1. Aika's hair before it got burned. OMGWTFBBQ that loose long hair was so pretty. I would prefer that kind of hair. Too bad it got burned into crisp. :( 2. Everyone's expression when Aika's hair got burned. It was like their faces turned into chibi mode because of suprise, lol. 3. Akira's speech. She's right, you can't be someone else because you're you. Damn, that was a good speech. It really touched my heart. 4. Akari and Alice going for Aika to comfort her. It proves that they're really true friends. Aika's very short hair in the end was okay. Her OLD hair with pigtails was extremely unsuitable for her. Her new hair was okay but I do prefer it in this order: The loose long hair before it got burned>The hair Akari and Alice made for her after it got burned>The very short hair now>Her old hair with ponytails. Overall, very lovely episode. She became in the same league as Akari and Alice. Well before she wasn't that cute because of her hair but now she's super cute. >:3 |
| Aika really looks better with short hair. Suits her. :) |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Aika's new hair is amazing because it really suits her. Other than that, I really liked this episode. Loved the talk from Akira. |

Also, it's a shame that semi-long haired Aika had such little screen time, that hairstyle was my favorite of them all.

| this episode was brilliant.it's deffinetely in my top 5 aria episodes...just great and heartwarming and deliveres a great message : be yourself also i'm glad that there are no more "RIP gondola" episodes :p 5/5 |

| ... TwT I like her semi-long hair style... but both short and semi-long > her old hairstyle ^_^ So glad to see Aika recover in such a short time, As soon as Aika talks about she can no longer become like Alicia, I knew someone is going to give her that speech, and that someone is Akira. Btw, is it just me, or am I the only one who got a feeling that Akira walk off because she almost shed a tear, but her pride prevented her to stay behind... |

| I think I will cry much more than Aika if I ever burn my hair in that way. |
| Her old hairstyle is to give people this "oriental" feels. |
| . |
| Am I the only one who predicted how this would have turned out? She looks much more beautiful with shorter hair. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Iwakura lain haircut style ^^ The facial expression in this episode were priceless, great episode. |
| indeed aika looks stunning with long hair i admit that i can't stop laughing when aika's hair got burned ORZ i mean she was all like bragging about her hair then suddenly ^_^;; hehehe but geez she looks young and cute with semi-long hair why did she cut it more shorter now she looks like athena-senpai. still i like it <.< |
| Aika's new hair is absolutely awesome. She is definitely cuter this way ^^ |
 |
| A lot of ppl here seem to like the semi-long style. She looked so young and cute with it. I'm really sad she went and cut it... would have loved to see her semi-long hair every episode. |
| Actually i've liked Aika's longhair better, but still, great episode, 5/5. |
| あらあら。。。 |

Count me in as #3 for sharing this sentiment. Actually, I'd even say this was my least favorite episode so far, though I did enjoy seeing the new haircuts. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Aika is my new favorite character. |
| Arf, why didn't she keep her mi-long hair ? Anyway short is better than the hairstyle she had until now. |
 |
| Poor Aika :( but damn that new hear cut sure changed her character by a lot! Still nice episode and a very true speech about being yourself from Akira! |

She looks so cute with the lil clips in too. Baww. Akiraaa<33 I loved when she says "Alicia, and Athena and me" But the me was Akira~sama. PAHA. I love her so muccccch. |
 |
| I like Aika so much more after this episode. Aria is just good. Period. I love the characters so much. |
  |
| Nooo! Aika-chan's lovely long hair is gone! This saddens me more than parting with a gondola. Well, they did a good damage control, I admit that. 4/5. |
| Love the new hairstyle!! |
| Aika really does look better with shorter hair imo. The message that went along with this episode was nice as well. That imitating or trying to be like others won't leave the same impression as going all out as yourself. I really like what Alicia said to Aika, it best represents that thought. "That hair style really suits you." |
 |
| I didn't like her hair style before either, the longer one this episode was nice though. Also i think i kinda prefer the way she looked when Akari and Alice cut her hair, she looked a bit like Akira. The new style is pretty cute :) I want more Akira episodes :| |
| Aika and Akira aren't exactly the subtlest of people, so I thought the "unsubtlety" (why is this not a word?) of the message was fitting, since this was their episode and Akira was the one to deliver the message. Anyway, Aika is my favorite character so far and I'm liking her new haircut. |
 |
| That niku song haha ^^ I kind of wish she kept the hairstyle done by Akari and Alice but short hairs works well for her too :) |
