Not a great episode, though I'm interested in seeing Athena in the future.

Athena eh? She's really an interesting character xD
I hope I can see her more in future episodes
Her singing voice is truly beautiful too, I don't know if it's the seiyuu or not

ED is different, but it's the same song

2nd half of ED song is as good as the first one.


Dear Lord, so I wasn't insane, the song really did change (or more like the excerpt)

I don't understand, I thought the Three Water Fairies were the boss of their own company.


That's exactly what I assumed during the first episode.

It's nice to finally meet Athena. Although it would have been preferable if she had simply told Alice that she knew abou Maa, she had good intentions. I find it more charming that she used to sing to help Alice fall asleep.

OK episode. Probably the worst one so far. Still, it was fine.

We may be relying on someone else, without knowing... this episode left me with warm feelings :)

Athena's singing is so soulful and hauntingly beautiful . Who's the singer?

Lol its hidden meanings really touched on this episode. My best 3 so far, including with episode 3 and 4.

The linking between Athena's indecent behavior, and her singings, with how its related to Maa and Alice's left hand, really shocked me in the end. Nice episode, but for real man, i fall asleep so much at this episode. Athena's singing really some kind of lullaby that make me sleep right after her touched. Shit. Im yawned.

As a left handed I felt offended by this, I didn't expect Athena to be clumsy

One the most beautiful thing in this life is to help someone without letting them know
But when you realise what they have done for you, you gonna have an emotional rollercoaster

Maa-kun is the new president! That was a cute surprise. :3

Athena is such an airhead. She has a beautiful singing voice.

Athena is really adorable. Her clumsiness and obliviousness sure adds to her character.

Maa-kun is SO cute!

Solid introduction of athena through the perceptives of the red hair and the green hair. Maybe the dialogues in this episode could be a bit more subtle without explaining athena's every actions again from alice's voice, or trying too hard on elaborating the left hand analogy.
Have heard athena's theme previously on this animation's ost soundtrack. The whole ost collection is great, and this song also left me a very vivid impression, with not only the soloing line being beautiful and soothing, but the later parts with chorus adding in additional harmonies was also great. Finally hearing this in the animation made it even better.
I like how in each episode that there are bits of new stuffs and ideas introduced in a very gentle way, like a gentle breeze of wind. Everythinf about this show is beautiful : Beautiful characters, beautiful scenaries, beautiful plot, and occasionally, beautiful messages.

Despite Maa's muppet-like features, I still found her extremely cute and adorable. I agree with what a previous poster said, watching this anime before going to bed is so soothing and relaxing.

Can we take a second to appreciate Alice's hairdo without the Undine uniform?

Also the scene of her playing Rock Scissors and Paper with herself trying to demonstrate how her left hand is useless.

Either way, Aria The Animation is alright in general to this point. A bit boring but the good parts are really good.

It's a change of pace that Aika almost didn't appear in this episode. It was predictable that Maa will become the new president once Alice had mentioned that the old one died. But wth. It's a great episode. Athena had a fantastic character introduction. Angelic voice but probably in the spectrum.

First time seeing chibi Alice. It's a different side to her because for the most part, she is moe.

Poor little cat, having to stay locked in the closet. Alice should have told him, but everything worked out.

Alice hated her left hand and Athena was all flustered but had a beautiful voice.

I found the episode boring, but it was worth watching.
