One of my fav chapters in the manga. I prefer the manga version but this was great.

I had been holding to see this because I know it will be a single experience. So I waited until a good moment and when Euphoria started play, I couldn't hold some tears. How I love this series, this world and these characters.

A smile from the start until the end and a bit of that nostalgic feeling in the Cait Sith scene.

Be able to learn, appreciate the little things of Aqua and their misteries is our own "miracle". It is important lesson that I bring to my life everyday.

We finally got a good introduction of the new characters which is great, their screen time was short-lived though. So the part with Cait Sith's final meeting with Akari was actually adapted from the manga? That's rather nice.

The commentary track was so funny for this episode when Alice's VA said she wanted to go to venice for real and the others responded with "the water isn't as clear in real life" and crushed her dreams. I was laughing so hard.

Ai-chan found friends, that's nice.
Akari said goodbye to Cait Sith, that was kinda sad.

That makes a lot of sense actually.

Wow, what an incredible episode like always. Natural's OP playing felt nostalgic.



What a masterful episode of Aria in this post-Origination time. 10/10 for me, again.

When "Euphoria" started I just straight wept

This episode was beautiful, it hit me in all the right places. I love stuff having to do with goodbyes. Man, this show is really something else.


this...it's just i got so many feels watching this it's amazing... oh, aria :(

Everything is just so smooth, i did not expect it to be this good considering the rating on MAL...i guess people just don't know to appreciate it as we did back in the day.

5/5
Sayonara,papa!

I actually don't like the fact that Ai is all about miracles and meeting Cait Sith... we are given the second Akari basically, and that's just lazy

I don't think that's an accurate description of Ai.

1. To begin with, I don't believe they'll make a Sequel with Ai being the main character because Ai will be the next child loved by Aqua(Not as loved, but in a similar 'Ai meets Mysteries').
2. Next, we need to draw a wall between the anime & manga. The Penpal in the manga is Cait Sith. The penpal in the anime is Ai.
-2a. Because Ai is the penpal in the anime, she is susceptible to being affected by Akari's mysterious encounters and desires to see them as well.
-2b. Ai in the manga doesn't appear this much and her personality isn't fleshed out as Akari 2.0 like it is in the anime.

In summary:
Ai is interested in Aqua/Cait Sith from her encounters and is likely to follow in Akari's footsteps.
EXCEPT you should remember the picnic episode where Alicia takes Akari to visit a place and they instead end up at a no-longer working rail car. They failed to end up where they were going but still enjoyed their picnic.

I honestly feel that Alicia most definitely had enjoyed going around Aqua and having wonderful encounters. I'm not saying she met Cait Sith but I'm willing to bet she has.
SO, it's likely Akari is someone who followed in Alicia's footsteps. Why are you only bashing little Ai!? Because we don't know about Alicia's encounters? What if you didn't know about Akari's encounters, would you be fine with Ai the way she is portrayed in the Avvenire?

Even in the anime, Ai isn't a copy of Akari. She may be taking up Akari's encounters with Cait Sith but she is different. She doesn't take pleasure in meeting new people. She doesn't have stupid thoughts like wondering if/when an old man with a push cart will end up at his destination on time, and so on.

Beautiful Episode as usual. That Euphoria really caught me off guard and hit me like a truck. It carries lots of sweet memories of that time.

Great to see that Cait Sith's Story Arc from The Natural got the closure here that The Origination never really offered it. Also just great to see how things have changed since the girls became Primas. Looking forward to the last one!

Hello there, new girls, nice Introduction from all of you. I am really glad to met you!
Azusa?
Anya?
Ai?
Nice miracle you had, there, Ai-cwhan!
Ah, Cait Sith, hishashiburi! But, its just a shadow, not its full appearance. Such ashamed. Fortunately, Ai-cwhan kept happy with that, so i will gladly accept that semi come back!

Its look like the industry of Undine became more united on that era. Thanks to the Grandma, and maybe Alicia-san to fix that condition. But, still, poor Ai-cwhan. Her profile should be reveal as long as the Aria Company keeping its existence. Yet, i found it funny. A private, very small company like Aria really popular like that. Even others big company knew her apprentice like Ai-cwhan really surprising matter. However, its still understandable. Once again, thank to Grandma and Alicia-san for that great changed of the Undine's data joint data ventura. Nice story continuations, to be honest.

Ah, another flashback from Akari replying the miracle Ai-cwhan happened. A great bye-bye, i've ever seen. Its very magic, its a miracle, its very usual Akari's antic. I was smirk. That was really a nostalgia, including some past imaginery in the ending song. Ah, a great direction there, imho.

Shit. Its almost over. Only 1 left episode. I felt bad. But, the good thing must come to and end. Lets see how well the closurement was made of this amazing little OVA, to served as a continuations of the Aria serialization.

This episode really warmed my heart, as Aria usually does!

I loved the new undine trio. I need to see more of Anya ASAP. I would love to see a show focused on those 3, but at the same time I’m fine with what we have. :)

1st episode, Undine.

Now, Euphoria. 💙

Bringing back the opening themes.

Aria-shachou seems to be growing old in terms of his voice. It's not the usual Puinyah like in the 1st 3 seasons.

Now we have a new trio, new generation of undines from the 3 companies. I wish they would make a series that's a cour or 2.

I'm liking the next generation of Water Faries, they seem to be a more "normal" group than Aika, Alice, and Akari.

I've never been the biggest fan of the supernatural elements in Natural, but this episode was pretty nice, along with the scenary.

Loved the ED and how it went through the events of Natural.
