jazmin_s said: I can't believe how sweet Akari is :) Moreover, all the new characters fit in perfectly!~ Do all the undine's names start with "A"... Alicia, Akari, Aika, Alice... O_e Its not just the undines, its all the characters as well. Ai, Akatsuki... Heck, even the planet starts with an A, Aqua. XD |
     |
| So Alice is finally introduced was wondering when she was going to come, this show has such a great cast of characters! =D |
| Yet another lovely episode. I envy Akira's patience, enduring all of Akatsuki's annoying remarks. Now that Alice has been introduced, do we have any more characters left? |
| I love this anime already. |
| The leter A characters are all good, I want to watch Akari and Akatsuki bicker more. |
| My anime list |
| I'm loving this soo much already. I love Alice's blushing face. She's just adorable. |
 |
| So the weather's controlled by a flying mountain? Interesting... |
     |
| Great episode! Akari and Akatsuki were so much fun. Alice was real cute too. |
 |
| What a fantastic episode, Akari is such a great character. Alice had one hell of an introductory episode. |

| Alice and Alicia? Akari and Akira? These names are confusing. But I'm still loving the show. It's so relaxing. |
     |
| Wow, I fell in love with Akari after watching this episode. For some reason, everytime I hear Akari's voice, it calms me down. It's like a relaxing voice that suits your brain, lol. Ofcourse I also loved Alice. Who doesn't like green haired shy girls!? Okay so the weather is being controlled and monitored by the floating island. I'm not going to ask how since they live in a different world after all, lol. Also, hurray for all the names that starts with letter A! |
| Wow.... after I watched the first 2 episode, I put this show on hold for 2 month... bad mistake... I can't believe how much I like this show. Moonfrost said: Wow, I fell in love with Akari after watching this episode. won't say I'm in love with her yet, but she's definitely lovely. |

| Episode 3 finally bring about the introduction of our third Undine-In-Training, Alice. I love the fact that, while younger than Akari and Aika, and still a Pair, she still can hold her own with a oar while still in school. Again, "Aria: The Animation" gives us more information that will come back in later episodes throughout the course of the "Aria" series. (For those who plan on following the entire "Aria" series to it's conclusion, pay attention to the order in which we were introduced to our core trinity of characters--it will come back later!) This is also the first time we see Akatsuki in person. In my eyes, the creators must've infused the more boisterous aspects of an Italian male in Akatsuki's personality, especially when you consider that Akatsuki's clothes are in the colors of the Italian flag--White, Green and Red. Intentional? |

| Akari is so precious. And she's letting people, in this case Alice, say embarrassing things and be okay with it. xDD I wonder how Aika will react to Alice being a part of the gang now. We also get to meet Akatsuki, the meanie who hung up on sweet Akari in the first episode. KhakiBlueSocks said: This is also the first time we see Akatsuki in person.

| Well... I guess Aria is still not my thing. After the disappointment of the first two episodes, I tried the 3rd and 4th, and while I have enjoyed them more, as more or less I know the weak spots of each character and what the series is meant to create, there are still scenes I can't come to love. I liked, to a point, the inner conflict of Alice, but then again the whole wording about the smiles and happiness somehow manages to take me away from the tone of the episodes... It seems I'm enjoying this show more in its quiet moments than when the characters interact. Specially with Akari, yes she's happy and positive, but hearing why she's happy and positive from her own mouth implies tons of cringeworthy metaphors and cheesy talking that, instead of reinforcing the feelings of the show, in some way damage them. And I guess I'll have this problem for the whole series. This one gets 6.5 points. The other more or less 7, because of a more interesting and evocative story; so they are both an improvement on the first two. But I'm still waiting to see what makes this series specially good. |
| ^This. |
| While parts of the exposition was handled well, others...not so much. I liked the episode though, relaxing as ever. The new girl looks alright. What's with everybody's name starting with A though? The episode pretty much makes us learn sideburns in Japanese, you always learn something new. 4/5. |
| Aw, there weren't any ara ara ara's this episode. I like how there's so many big machines flying around in the sky, but to get to Ukijima, they have to take a ski lift. |
 |
| I thought this episode was an improvement on the first two, more interesting. And the city really is like another character to the show. In terms of personality Alice reminds me of Azusa from K-On. |
FantasyHeaven said: Why is this so pointless and good at the same time? Exactly. Akari's so sweet, Alice such a good character. |
 |
| Too many A's, how about a Z character next. |
 |
| Alice's monologue when they were with Akatsuki sounded lame. :( And the sunset scenery was not pretty at all... Hm. I guess I'll watch a while longer. Not sure if it's something I like though. Very nice music, however. |
| Awesome new character introduction and once more a super relaxed episode! |
 |
| That president cat thing annoys the hell of out of me, looks like Mugi from K-On. |

| akari why are you so perfect |
  |
| Waiting for the sex scene. Anyways, good episode. Hopefully it doesn't get boring. |
 |
| What the hell, Alice is in 8th grade? Anyways I enjoyed this episode! Plan on watching 1 episode a night right before I go to bed. I feel like that is the best way to watch it since marathoning this would be a drag. |

WolfWood37 said: Too many A's, how about a Z character next. the truth is every charaters except minor supporting one has letter A for name. |
     |
| Wahhh~ this was so relaxing~ i was smiling through the whole episode. Just what i needed before bed (─‿‿─) |
| I almost fell asleep. |
 |
| Alicia is easy remember considering her Ara, Ara, Ara catchphrase. This A letter anime is very relaxing. Take a shower, get some instant ramen, and chow down while watching the relaxing Aria series. Nice episode, and interesting to see a floating city on top. |
 |
| Finally I'm enjoying this show. |
 |
| Oh Alice. Your sweetness is overflowing in this episode. This anime is beautiful. |
 |
| The atmosphere and everything else is just beautiful. Alice and Akari are so adorable. |

| This is such a lovely and relaxing show. The slow pace really helps bring out the atmosphere as well as "show, not tell". |

| I'm am being pleasantly surprised with every episode so far. The word "relax" seems to really resonate with fans regarding this show, and I agree. Alice seems like a lovely character who I would really like to see more of. That preview was very interesting in the idea that something climactic might occur. That's cool, as long I feel relaxed by the end of it. |
 I REMEMBER TOUCH. PICTURES CAME WITH TOUCH. A PAINTER IN MY MIND. |
