| ooo Flashback episode. It was intersting enough, though a little sad at the end...kinda makes you feel like something omnious is gonna happen. =P |
 |
| If this is the episode i'm thinking of that talks about the Three fairies past then this is my favorite of the first season |
 |
| Yeah it is =P |
|
| loved this ep. XDD this anime is very soothing XDDDD |
| i <3 athena :) |
| it's so lovely when athena sings |
 |
| I love Athena :O |
| That was a really great episode. Athena is so pretty >.< They were so cute when they were younger. I want more flashbacks. |
 |
| Great episode,I nearly cried at the end. |
| aww, this was just so sweet! This series definitely can make anyone feel good! |
  |
| I agree with everyone. Great episode, Athena <3. |
| I got weepy at the end when Akari rushes over the bridge and waves to them. The bittersweet theme of the episode kinda just culminated there and with the music it was such a cute little moment. Really great episode |
 |
| Athena is hilarious, such a special person XD Great episode, the end made it feel like one of those action anime episodes where all of a sudden and alien force will attack and destroy everything and the undines have to join the war and protect the world, but that won't happen. |
 |
| This is my favorite episode!~ Gah! This episode was way too beautiful! It was so bittersweet. Seeing the three of them as Singles and doing combined training together was nice - and Athena's so cute. Her solo is amazing~ And Akari running to the bridge was really sweet too :) Loved this episode! :) |
| That was a great episode ^_^, Athena was an amusing person even as a single but the moment she opened her mouth to sing I was blown away O_O, that scene was the best in the whole episode =D. I also liked how it explored enjoying yourself and how you shouldn't be caught up in enjoying the past but the present, some pretty insightful words were also contributed by Akari xD. |
| hilarious episode, with the 3 fairies ... especially Athena :D |
| Now, who feels like enjoying a cup of cocoa with fresh cream right now? *going to her kitchen* Yoshi, another great phrase to add to my notebook... about precious things... And Athena's song... yay! *stars in her eyes* |
| One of the best Aria episodes, and certainly the best one in this first season =) |
| I like anime and stuff |
| Yea! Best episode so far. |
| Athena so clumsy sia xD haha!! i was laughing non stop |
     |
| Funniest, best ep yet! Athena hitting the bridge was and dropping water on the paper was hilarious. The insert song was perfect in the ending scene though it was kinda sad though because Akari knows that she won't be with her friends forever. |
     |
| My favourite episode soo far. Young Akira is <3 Well they all are I guess. Athena's so damn clumsy. :D What a voice. |
 |
| One of the best episodes so far - it wa great! I love Athena because she's so clumsy and funny, yet beautiful and has a wonderful singing voice. I really liked the flashbacks and I hope there will be more of them. |
 |
| Great episode, probably the best of the first season. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Great episode. Athena's singing is pure love...I wish I could find a place to download that. |
| This is my favorite so far. <3 I love the nostalgic feeling of this episode. And there is a lot of Alicia which is aways a plus. :D |
| OHH MY OHH MY BEST FUCKING EPISODE EVER MAN. THEY'RE SO PEACEFUL AND KIND. IT'S LIKE THEY'RE IN A DREAM WORLD OF MINE. FRIENDSHIP MAN. PRECIOUS THINGS THAT NEVER CHANGE, YEAAAH MY HEART IS MELTING. Okay so it's very awesome to see the childhood days of the three super water fairies. They finally got a reunion, all three of them and their juniors together, and it was fun seeing that. At first I was like how did Athena become one of the 3 fairies, I'm guessing it's because of her superb voice. I was wondering though how did all the people hear her voice. It wasn't like she was using an amplifier or something, lol. Alice crying was really touching. I'm guessing the 3 of them will be like the 3 super water fairies since they're doing the same things that the 3 super fairies did in the past, lol. Akari in the end was also touching. She really values her friends. Okay seriously, I am learning new and new stuffs after I watch an episode. It's like every episode has a moral, lol. I hope it stays like this, the peace and calmness that is. |
| I laughed at Athena's clumsiness actually. |
| I <3 Athena. :D The music she sings is so beautiful, I get so hypnotized. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| This is a great episode. I'll remember this episode of ARIA for quite some time. when watching the flash back... I literally tried to talk to Athena as she got closer and closer to the bridge. "Your head, your head, your head," bang* "ooooouuuu..." I can tell how melancholy Akari was getting when Aika and Alice was leaving, I kept thinking "Go on, go to your friends" ^_^ EDIT: If this episode is an OVA... it'l be my second 10/10 ever given. |

| This episode had everything from humour to happy moments to a fabulous finish. Best episode I've seen and really makes this one of the best animes I've come across. T_T |
| Nothing much to say, except that I loved this episode. Probably the highlight of the season. |
 |
| omg,this was like a huge slap to the face for me O.o the message this episode delivered is so powerfull to me it made me shed a tear,and this happens EXTREMELY RARE :'( it made me realise that you should live in your present,not your past,and you shouldn't regret the past only because it was great,the present and the future are/will be great aswell! long live aria,my 10 is consolidating :-) |

| This series started kinda slow for me (and it is a rather slow-paced relaxing show) But it has been growing on me, and now the episodes fly one after another. The first half of this episode was so funny! Athena is the best character of this show! Really really nice episode. |
 |
| Amazing episode, it was great to see the three of them young, especially Athena. |
| I loved this episode! Athena's fails in her childhood were hilarious, but her singing was so beautiful. The end of the episode was excellent, what Akari said is so bittersweet :| |
| I am sorry for Alicia for being so rude That part killed me lol So you never met the rumored Single? Oh this is win! |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Amazing episode, definitely the best so far. The flashbacks were just magical!! R.I.P. Junichi Sato, you were a visionary and genius and will be missed. I haven't seen a whole lot of his stuff, but what I've seen is amazing! I really appreciate the relationships in this show, they are so genuine, yet no traces of yuri whatsoever. Most other shows like this would be full of yuri vibes, etc. which is why I generally stay away from show like this, but not this it is a fantastic show, and slowly becoming one of my favs. And, the insert song at the end/Akari's moe-xplosion on the bridge was pure win!! T_____T Urahara Out!! |
 |
| Flawless episode. |
 |
| Wonderful episode :D I have really taken a liking to this show :) |
| this episode makes me feel nostalgic . |
| Best episode of the first season. ^^ Anyone knows name of the song which was played at the end of episode before ending? |
| The ending was sweet. |
| lol @ img bbcode not working, mal is such a great site |
| The best episode of the season, imho, sad and sweet, and presents a good perspective to keep in mind when you start longing for the good old days. |

Kiku-chan said: Yea! Best episode so far. |
| あらあら。。。 |
| Favourite episode. Makes me think of all the friends I've left behind, and all the good times I've had with past and current friends. |
| Yeah, easily the best Aria episode of the bunch. It hit close to home too, as I'm sure it did for many people. I can only hope there will be more episodes like this to follow! |
| One of the best episodes of the series. The first half was very interesting and funny, I especially liked how Akira used to be like Aika-chan, and how the three of them met (Athena's song was lovely and when she lost her oar I laughed). The second part was kinda sad, but Akari-chan managed to bring a smile to my face with waving on the bridge, she is really cute. 5/5. |
