I really like the pace of this anime. It's slow and relaxing, something you can just sit back and enjoy...

It's not "epic", and that's why it's so good. There are few shows that are so warm and down-to-earth as this one, not to mention unrelentingly optimistic.

This episode like the first one was sweet and soothing~
As many others have stated, the slow and relaxed pace mixed in with the nice characters just makes for an anime that's warm-hearted. Alicia and Akari are pretty funny and friendly :) Ara Ara~

I was bored, as expected. Though it was a little better this time for me when I gave it another chance and came back to it.

And it's still cute. Lol@the food eating scene especially. That cat loves to eat!xD

The whole episode can be summarized in two words: "ara ara~" For some reason I find Alicia-san to be very similar to Kareha from Shuffle. I like the pace this show is going. I should make a note to myself so that I don't marathon through this.

You will be or maybe you already have. This show has a fantastic cast of characters, but the series doesn't become a classic until the natural.

making the show so simple and relaxing makes it great. even though there are so many sci fi/action possibilites with time and place they are in, the show does not depend on that and even runs away from it.

ARA ARA ARA ARA~ Oh my, that scene between Akira and Alicia made me crack up. I loved how she teased Akira by saying Ara even more, lmfao. I love you Alicia!

Okay so Akari was cute in this episode. I loved the way she walked during the Aqua Alta. It was like she was playing with water. Aika was also awesome in this episode. I knew she wouldn't quit the company since she clearly loves Akira deep inside.

The three fairies huh? I wonder who's the other one. Alicia, Akira, and some other girl. Also, it was so funny when they make the animals as the president of the gondola companies. As usual, President Aria was cute. :3

Aria moves right along with episode 2, gently pushing us further into the world of Aqua with the introduction of Himeya Company and we get an idea of the relationship between Aika and her mentor, Akira. Also, for those who have already seen the series all the way through to the end, pay close attention to Aika's Pop Quiz, with emphasis on "Aquamarine". This will NOT be the last time we hear that name.

Favorite scene: Of course, the back and forward between Akira and Alicia. Only Alicia could run backwards and still giggle impishly.

Omg when does it get interesting..it's still boring and it relaxes me to sleep..I'm starting to thinking of dropping this series. Does it continue going on like this? Like how 5cm Per Sec has such good reviews and ends up being crap to me same for EF tales of memories..

Just when I was glad I could watch this in the blazing summer it starts raining, but it rained in the episode too so it somehow turned out to be a nice match. Lucky.

"-If you hang around here you'll start going "ara, ara" too.
-Ara, ara."

I had to pause the video I laughed so hard. The exposition could have been handled better, but the episode was relaxing, it's nice to just sit back and enjoy the ride. Really liked it 4/5.
