| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Great episode! Treasure hunting with a difference and Akari really likes her latte :P |
 |
| This was a really sweet episode~ It was nice how each clue led them somewhere unique in Neo-Venezia and in the end, even though it was predicatable there was going to be no 'real' treasure --> it was cool seeing the scenery. Pretty breath-taking :) |
| Whoever wrote the script for this episode is genius. Who wouldn't thought that treasure hunting can be this fun? I kind of like the ambiance and all including a little bit of sight seeing. Hopefully, this atmosphere will continue on the rest of the episodes. This what makes this show very unique as compared to other mediocre shows that I picked up this season. Although, I'm a little bit late picking up this one. |

| lols ... treasure hunting ... nice episode =D |
     |
| The final treasure was so Aria-esk! A beautiful view, of course! |
     |
| what's more touching about it is that they returned all maps to the right places and they discovered that the treasure hunting has been happening many times before, with all the previous ones also returning the maps.. this makes it a little bit out of the cliched immaterial treasure.. it kinda makes you feel that the people there love their own city so much and wants to make other people in the future experience that treasure hunt as well.. |
| Wonderful episode. I love watching Aria when I'm really tired. Just letting myself get drawn in, it's so relaxing. xD |

I agree. This was the best! :) This episode was really fun. Akari's face was also prettier in this episode when compared to the first one, but still not looking as good as in the first season. |
| Ahh treasure hunting with such peaceful surroundings :3 how nice. |
| I'd love to go on a treasure hunt. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| It was a lovely episode but wasn't that a vandalism/graffiti? They got to the end of the treasure hunting and found a writing on a wall, lol. I guess Neo-Venezia is considered a treasure. Alicia's "Araa ara" was also superb. >:3 Akari was lovely in this episode. I loved how she and Alice convinced Aika to go treasure hunting with them. Also, I loved her expressions when she and the manager of the caffe latte met. They were like flirting on each other, lol. I'm suprised they returned the boxes to its original place. I guess Neo-Venezia is a peaceful country. If that happened in Earth, I'm sure people will just throw it away because they didn't find any amount of money or gold. |
Moonfrost said: My thoughts exactly. This episode just makes me want to live in a place like Neo-Venezia!I'm suprised they returned the boxes to its original place. I guess Neo-Venezia is a peaceful country. If that happened in Earth, I'm sure people will just throw it away because they didn't find any amount of money or gold. However, there's a thing called geocaching which is kinda like this ep's treasure hunt. I'll link you guys to a video of it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4HP2DYp1gc&fmt=22#t=22m52s And I wondered if the manager paid for all the cafe lattes.. or if they all went to Aria Co.'s tab, lol. |
 |
| Interesting episode! I like how fast-paced this is compared to the previous ep. :3 |
| well,this isn't full aria potential,but it was ok :-),i liked the final 5 minutes :D 4/5 |

| What a beautiful episode |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| i expect the treasure is like that.. |
| I really loved this episode... but why did they have to make the manager's laugh so creepy? T_T |

| あらあら。。。 |
| At the end of the day (or ~6AM in the morning in my case), even a single episode Aria never fails to impress and soften up feelings for the better. Thank you for letting me appreciate... in I suppose... just being human. |
| The more I watch Aria the more I fell my sadistic nature being taken off from me. Another great episode. |
 |
| aw yeah this anime is de bomb man it makes me want to make a treasure hunt in my town for people to enjoy tbh |

| Great episode the text on that wall was deep, really nice concept in this episode just loved it :D |
 |
| I had a feeling the treasure would be something like a scenery, lol. It was very unlikely that they would be the first ones to find the treasure boxes. Treasure hunting seems so fun! It reminds me of how my friends' birthday parties, we would do a game like this, where one clue leads to the next. I wish I could visit Neo-Venezia and see the beautiful scenery like the trio did in this episode. And that cafe latte got me drooling :( Cute episode! |
| Just, wow. This anime is so happy. |
  |
| The real teasure is to have fun and know every corner of Neo-Venezia. I saw it coming but still a very nice and enjoyable episode. |
| For a while I thought it was the owner who placed the maps in various places. He also reminded me of Armstrong, I was expecting him to rip his suit open at some point. Absolutely adorable, heartwarming and relaxing episode, great stuff 4/5. |
| Fun episode, Akari was acting extra cute this episode. Aika and her obsession with embarrassing remarks as well :p. The treasure hunt was brilliant, because not only was the treasure the view at the end, but the journey through Neo Venezia to get there as well. The more I watch Aria, the more I'd like to become an expert of happiness myself. |
 |
| Wow..This is episode was beautiful :'). Made me enjoy the bigger perspective of life. The treaure hunt was so much fun. I got goosebumps when they found the "treasure" and that ost pllayed. Just Amazing and sweet :) |

| A treasure hunt episode which in my opinion was very good. Anyone notice how Aika is an expert on not following down since she's always wearing heels and here she was running. Akari has a couple drinks with the owner of the cafe but she doesn't know that at first. The treasure hunt goal was very beautiful and worth looking for. |

How is that a good thing, they'll just be disappointed that it's a view and not a treasure chest or something, or is everybody in Aria world innocent and honest (thus ignorant)? That's a really gay world to live in. |
 |
| The treasure was a bit disappointing but it was a nice episode nonetheless. I'm jelly they have so much free time to wander around the town and search for 'treasure' ;x |
| i wonder how amped up Aria was after all those lattes. Very nice treasure hunt. |
 |
| The treasure hunt was pretty cool. Akari speaks pidgeon, the bird didn't even move when she removed the chest from its nesting site. The trio running down the flight of stairs in the dark made me nervous for a second. This episode was a clever way of adding details of Neo-Venezia and its streets. I think Akari must have consumed about a gallon of Latte! |
| Such a beautiful episode... Watching Aria is really the best thing you can do to yourself when you need some motivation. |
 |
| This was such a fun episode! Now I want to go treasure hunting xD BTW, how come Aika wasn't all hyper and jittery after drinking so much coffee? |
 |
| akari overdosing on latte pretty much lol |
| 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 episode was like National Treasure except I really liked this |
 |
| One of the best episodes in general. 5/5 |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Treasure hunting is always fun to watch. Nice Episode. |
 |
| There are 10 boxes with 10 maps, whereas it could've been only 1 box that lead to the same spot, I think it's essential to have 10 boxes with 10 maps since its more likely that people will find 1 out of this 10 boxes rather than having only 1 box which they have less chances to find. Also having more boxes means just like Akari said. She enjoyed Neo-Venezia more while having to find all those boxes and discover more riddles. |
| One of the best episodes of Aria yet. This show is so touching... |
 |
| Pretty sure they got troll'd But the scenery is beautiful so... It doesn't really matter Worth xD So.. They're not the only one that found the treasure eh? This anime is a treasure itself xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| Akari shouldn't smile at creepy old men and she shouldn't buy them drinks either! The treasure was ok. |
 |
| We are reaching levels of wholesome that shouldn't even be possible |
| The café borrowed in this episode is probably Caffè Florian in San Marco square in Venice. |
 |
| A nice, beautiful episode. I was expecting the whole not a real treasure thing, but I wasn't expecting that a lot of people before them had found the treasure too and that they all put the maps back in place too. That was really sweet. That cafe owner sure has a weird laugh with his moving head lol So relaxing. |
