THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
President Aria is weird. It's eyes have no irises and are on its cheeks. It's extremely fat and has bushy eyebrows. It's tail is a ball, and it walks on its hind legs. And instead of "nya" it says, "Puy nya." Is it supposed to be some sort of Aqua mutation of a cat?

It's mentioned, in the aqua manga anyway and I believe the first ep of the anime, that President Aria is a Martian cat, which were bred in such a way that they reached human levels of intelligence. They just can't speak, at least not human languages.
That's really cool thanks for the info, favorite part was President Hime not know that the hero was president Aria at first. lol

Aria the Animation: making a full episode of an irisless cat whining about how unneeded he is and then becoming a superhero wannabe, and actually making this fun and interesting. Yes, that's what I love about this show; I can have fun watching even when I have an headache.

AWWWWWWW PRESIDENT ARIA. MY LOVE FOR YOU INCREASED AFTER WATCHING THIS EPISODE. Although now I'm thinking that you're not an ordinary cat and might be super cat or some sort, lol.

Okay so the first part, Depressed Cat, was suprisingly touching. It's good to see an episode about Aria alone. I felt sad for him when he ran away home. You don't need to do anything President Aria! Just stay cute and that'll do the job! What made me crack up was when the bird came to him and ate his rice ball, lol.

The second part was hilarious but the ending was suprisingly mixed with melo-drama. I loved how the Hime president didn't recognize Aria and fell in love with him but after Aika mentioned his identity, Hime was like "Oh fuck you." Lmfao. The ending was also win. Good to see Aria succeed in his mission. :3

It's not really explained in the anime, but in other materials it is noted that the cats on Neo Venezia are indeed far more intelligent than the normal cats of today - this extends to ALL of them, though only Aria gets that much attention.

I like President Aria, but a whole episode about him? Hmm.
Unfortunately, I didn't care much about this ep.
Felt like a comedy episode more than anything.

Episode 8 takes an interesting approach in that it follows, not our Undines, but our beloved President Aria. I thought that was an interesting idea, and it was very funny watching him in this split episode. Perhaps the director, Sato-Jun would look into doing a spin-off series...hmm...I wonder what it would be like...(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd6YzibaH-o)

This wasn't my favorite episode, but it was still pretty cute and it cracked me up how almost everybody recognized him right off... except President Hime.

I'm not a fan of Aria shachou, so it wasn't a really good episode for me. But I could watch Akari running after balls and rings all day long. 3/5.

I really need to underline again the uglyness of this cat. What is he, Salvador Dalí's approach of space felines?

Aside from that, this show is really soothing. Though I guess I won't watch the other seasons for a while after I finished this one.

Worst episode so far ... the cat/critter thingy ( or whatever he is ) simply pisses me off. I would very much prefer to follow the daily life of the undines instead =|

"BUI-NIU.. BUI-NIU..........BUI-NIU"

Goodness gracious me this is the worst episode so far. Aria president's constant "bui-niu"s is really, really annoying.

Another bad episode, the first 6 episodes were great so I don't see how this is suddenly falling apart so quickly, almost as if the message and the relaxing feel of the series has been torn from the show, holding out hope that this is just temporary and the series will recover in the next couple of episodes.

Such a disappointing episode. Entirely too much Aria-shachou, especially too much of his butt.

This show usually makes me feel relaxed, but not this episode. Bored and annoyed. :(
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

I don't really see how this episode is important in the grander scheme of things, but President Aria is simply adorable, so an entire episode focused on him sat pretty well with me.

Meh, these past couple episodes have been pretty weak compared to the first 6 episodes, especially episode 5 which was incredibly relaxing and heartwarming. Hopefully things come back up to par in the remaining episodes of this first season of Aria.
