| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Forbidden love between student and teacher? Joking...but it was a lovely episode. Now that i think of it, i don't think i've written a letter either... |
 |
| this episode enlightened to me the joy of writing letters. this episode is very soothing. |
| Lovely episode about the joy of delivering and receiving letters. Glad to see the mailman taking pride and enjoying his work there. |
| its been awhile since Akari last did a backward row |
     |
| Did anyone else think that this ep was a slight against email? Anyway, the entire mail concept fits perfectly with the calm, patient, nature of Aqua. Though the process seemed a bit laborious. |
     |
| Good episode. I don't think I've ever written a letter either. |
 |
| This episode shifted my perception of sending letters =] very nice and relaxing episode as always xD |
| I think I noticed a bit of a continuity error with Sora--before he gets in the Gondola with Akari and the mailman, he is wearing blue socks, which you can see clearly when he stands next to the rail. However, a few seconds later, when Sora enters the gondola and the following overhead shot, the socks are not there! Later, the blue socks return. Something only I would notice...go ahead, call me a nerd. Anyway, another very well done episode! I thought it was funny when the bride was walking towards the gondola, and here comes the mailman with the letter out the blue. Nicely done! |

| Sweet episode. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| So that's what a letter is. It's a heart that you can hold with your hands. It can also overcome time and space. Not only that but it can also bring the writer to you. :D Okay so I thought that Sora and the teacher had something in the past. It was like the teacher loved Sora and wasn't happy with her current husband since when Sora came in by a boat, she was like all happy and such, lol. Also, she said thank you many times. :D The old mailman was cool, aswell as Akari. It was good to see Akari's backward row again. I think the last time she did that was on 2nd episode 1st season. :3 |
| Another good and soothing episode ^^ I used to send letters, but haven't done that in years; now I feel like sending one soon xD |
| hmmm this ep is a little on the boring side. but there's some truth in it! I get quite excited when I receive letters since they're so rare nowadays. |
| great episode :-) as usually,i'm going to sleep now thx xD |

If it's this tricky maneuver, than wouldn't it be faster just to take 5 seconds and turn the gondola around? I'm not sure I understood that part... If I remember correctly Akari, for whatever reason, originally believed that you rowed a Gondala backwards so that's how she trained back on Manhome. As a result she's able to row faster while doing it backwards, and though it's harder to do for others that isn't the case for her. |

| あらあら。。。 |
| Aika wearing a dress, Get daze. |
 |
| Really nice episode, the moment when she read the letter and than on the gondola where brilliant, really lovely episode! |
 |
| Ah, I love learning more about Neo-Venezia and how things work there! Being a mailman does seem like a lot of fun, though it's also hard work. |
| Never thought I would watch an episode about being a mailman, but Aria handled it nicely. I'm not sure Aika-chan is a very suitable candidate as an Undine for a freshly married couple considering her catchphrase. Speaking of which, when the mailman and Akari were discussing the heart of the sender, I actually had to point out that "No sappy lines allowed!" Yare, yare, what will this show make me? 4/5. Ps: I still have two letters I have received, and the funny part is that one even says "I preferred this over e-mail, since this way you can keep it forever". Haven't written an ordinary mail in the last 10 years though. |
| I've seen so many other shows that tried to show how important letters are (eg: Tegami Bachi), but i really didn't care..Aria though....now i feel like sending a letter :3 |
| A heart warming episode as always. Sora loved her teacher but since she was getting married he got mad/sad. He regrets making her cry and wished he could tell her sorry and congratulate her. Akari and Mr.Mailman pass by and help Sora out. Akari catches up to Alice which lets Sora and the teacher reconcile with each other. That was a very sweet scene. It's true what Mr.Mailman says, hand written letters carry a person's feelings compared to just sending an email. |
 |
| Being an undine is one of the worst jobs to have, especially for women, I can't imagine standing the whole time, plus rowing and shit. |
 |
| Letter delivered +50 exp. |
 |
| Aika in that dress, beautiful. Letters are nice, aren't they? Now I feel like writing one now. |
 |
| mailman understands the importance of messages/letters, nice exchange between him and akari near the end :> |

| Matsuki Miyu's voice :( Her voice will be there forever, unforgotten Mailman eh? They're delivering people's feelings.. Well I guess that's not the case in real life? |
"Signature removed"   |
| Boring episode. I liked the teacher x student moment, nothing more. |
 |
| Idk why but I cried on this eps. It's not that sad, I have no clue. |
| That old mailman is an affable chap. |
 |
| A sweet and lovely episode. There's just something special about letters. I really enjoyed this episode. That bit with Sora and the teacher was unexpected but was really nice. |
 |
| imagine if the letter turned out to be scathing hate-mail hahahaha |
 |
| Sora and his teacher was cute |
 |
| Very good episode, I like how this episode focused on little details about how letters are delivered in neo venezia. The sunset in the end was beautiful |
 |
| Another daily routines to Akari as a trainee Undine. Now she learn how to deliver a mail by an old postman appear in season 1. Glad to see the postal scenes again with him, since the last appearance long ago at the half of the season 1. Theres one scene intrigueing me, while the young postman who greats Akari in the post office give her a wink after encounter the old one. I find that scenes hilarious, and i can't stop giggling, lol. Aika uniform really amazing and stunned me while being a bridge-maid, there. Ofc to Akira uniform too, shes just so cute. However, the message by the student to his teacher just be my most surprise attachment from this episode. The color of Neo-Venezia heart, eh? Seems like the love of Neo-Venezia got transfered and stock up by a huge mail. Nice progression story since the first episode, and i really happy for that. |

| Very good episode, of course, but also the weakest one out of these 4 so far. Aika in regular clothes was a highlight for me. |
 |
| Rather boring episode this time. |
 |
| Another good episode. |
 |
| Boy what a lovely and sooth episode,i almost cri,not even joking,the atmosphere and realistic moment make it touching |
 |
| Akira looks amazing! Very chill and relaxing episode. Can we have more Alicia please? |
| I should write a letter, I haven't even tried the prospect before. The mailman looks pretty different when he is drawn in the non-simplistic style. |
 |
| We never got mail man-san's name His name has to just be mail man First name:mail Last name:man |
