| Cutesy episode. I was fine with the filler material, because it's not impeding anything. |
 I REMEMBER TOUCH. PICTURES CAME WITH TOUCH. A PAINTER IN MY MIND. |
| IT'S OVER! Terrible. I am embarassed I watched this. This fat bulldog needs to be removed, it spoils the series. Or at least why can't it look like a normal cat? Like Aika's cat? 1/5 it wasn't even trying. I hope there won't be similar episodes. |
| In the previous episodes President Aria seemed to me to be one of the few weak elements of Aria: The Animation, but in this episode he redeems himself. His bungled attempt at running away was endearing, but the second half where he is the superhero trying to return the little girl's lost doll was even better. I like how he just left the doll on the doorstep and did not take credit for returning Ken. Let the little girl believe that Ken came back on his own or that God returned him. President, you are a good egg. |
| I am not fond of President Aria so this has been my least fav. episode so far, still good I guess. Such a annoying 'cat' tho. |
 |
| Wow that sucked. |
| Worst episode so far of Aria. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I get the appeal of cute animal mascots but I hate them. President Aria immediately ruins any scene for me when he makes his noises. A whole episode dedicated to him was hard to watch. |
| Wow, how could people hate President Aria? And some want him to be removed from the show? Why is this show called Aria at all if that's the case? Might as well call it Alicia the Animation or something Anyway, I appreciate this cute episode. We need more adorable cats like him |
| Oh God I just died of moe overdose when Akari went "awa wawa awawah" while chasing those hoops and balls XD I've always thought those company presidents are fascinating, especially with their intelligence. Poor Aria sacho has no chance with Hime sacho though XD |

| I hate this piece of cat sh*t. He's destroying whole show for me.. |
| My least favorite episode so far. The first half in particular was pretty boring. |
 |
| Not really caring for the cat :/ |
 |
| Worst episode. Aria would be whole universe better without that stupid animals. The concept is great, but those cats are just ruining everything. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Didn't get the feel for it tbh. |
| What a stupid cat A lovely stupid cat xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| President Aria is something like Superman |
 |
| I'm starting to like Aria more, he was a real hero. |
 |
| While I think President Aria is okay, he's not nearly interesting enough to carry an episode on his own. And the episode wasn't even terrible, just a huge step down from everything that came before. I especially didn't like that the President's thoughts and feelings were spelled out like that, I don't think a single one of those explanations were needed, they just felt patronizing. If Aria's actions had been allowed to speak for themselves, without narration, letting visual shorthands and the VA communicate his feelings, I might have had a different attitude towards this episode. |

| I liked this episode ara ara. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| That's still to this date the all time greatest Aria episode. They could have stopped producing new episodes after that one and it would have been fine. Here is where Aria peaked. |
 |
| They sure love giving that cat a butthole. |
 |
| Ugh... I hate mascot characters. Sorry guys but was not a fan of this episode. I'm really hoping aria the origination is worth it cause so far I'm not really into this show. |
| Re-watched: I had to skim through this episode. Someone needs to euthanize these fucking cats. LeeTailor said: I don't think a single one of those explanations were needed, they just felt patronizing. To be honest that's no different from the regular dialogue in this show, with Akari stating the obvious, narrating her thoughts and generally ruining the atmosphere with sappy lines that should be forbidden. |

| This was torture, I absolutely hate this cat thing with every fibre of my being and he's even more obnoxious this episode and it's the entire fucking episode... |
| Voting like because of the number of Alicia "ara ara"s in this episode. Also, it is just me or are the ED lyrics different? |
 |
| That's a question for me too, what's the use of president? Cat can't do anything other than being cute lol |
 |
| Funny focus for this episode xD |
 |
| President Aria is a super hero but he sucks at cooking |
 |
| This seems like an enjoyable cartoon for 5 year olds. |
 |
| I've never been a fan of President Aria, so I feared to dislike this episode when I realized it would be about him. Well, I actually kinda liked it, it was touching. It felt veeery childish though, but it's fine, it doesn't hurt to have stuff like that from time to time. But now that it's over, I'm looking forward to more screentime of our dear Undines ! |
 |
| So much of hate in these comments.. Seriously.. That was the cutest episode yet. <3 Aria the Hero! He deserved to have an episode of his own. |
 |
| This episode is like the episode 1 of Saiki K: Reawakened, the episode 17 of NHK ni Youkoso or the episode 1 of Elfen Lied. I mean it is the only episode of Aria I disliked! |
 |
| Aria-shachou was already annoying with the ultra-cutesy "puinyu", but to have an entire episode of that? A test of patience. If you also find him annoying, there's really no point in watching this episode as everyone else is sort of in the background to him. |
| Focusing an entire episode around the annoying-as-fuck mascot and its annoying-as-fuck noises was an absolutely terrible decision. Then throwing in the slapstick and the entirely needless exposition bubbles (every time, what was going on was patently obvious without the bubbles) just makes for an even more insultingly awful episode. Man, this show really isn't anywhere near as good as it's cracked up to be, is it? |
| Poor Aria.. Don't leave us.. ;/ Life is pain.. And suffering.. Second half was more bright.. Interesting how Hime didn't recognize Aria at first.. |
| It was super cute what they TRIED to do. I just find Aria so annoying. Sigh. |
| Aria shoukd be pretty known but he just wander around and have no idea recognize him? And a random little girl can pick up a cat thats the president of a pretty big company without being recognized? I mean everyone knows who he is the second half of the ep his heart rip |
| Inhales oxygen |
| They understand I was here for the cat the whole time. 5 stars |
