| Ever since Aika lost her long hair... She's impossibly cute.XD She turned into a cry baby, she showed her puppy-love side, she crave her pudding... and her short hair+hair pin is just <3 again, she is really cute this episode. |

| haha Aika X Al is becoming more apparent with this ep. |
| Aika chan is tsundere |
| weeh' someone is in love : D |
| Oh that shy Aika-chan. |
| あらあら。。。 |
| what a cute episode! I really love her new short hair=) |
| Aika. All of my HNNNGGGG. Her new hairstyle makes her look even cuter. She's had somewhat of a personality change along with it. |
| So Aika really is going to be with the shortie. Hope he's going to grow up even a little. |
 |
| Cute ending is cute! Aika all the way! |
 |
| Aika is just glorious. Aria is so nice to watch. Tea+this = perf combo. |
 |
| I loved Aika since first season and now is like hhnnnggg. Damm that lucky shortie. Also I want more Akira female side too. |
| When did Aika get so adorable all of a sudden? I want to see more development with Al, though. I feel like I haven't seen any real chemistry between them yet. |
  |
| An episode from Aika-chan's perspective? Lovely change of pace, not to mention that we got to see one of the main girls in casual clothing, I can't recall Akari wearing anything else then her uniform or pajamas all of the sudden, at least Alice-chan has her school outfit. I loved the part where Aika-chan had to realize that the world moves on even in our absence. I didn't like the second part though as I'm not a fan of Akatsuki/Woody/Al, I couldn't enjoy Aika's infatuation with Al. I hope the two trios won't be paired up, that would be terrible. Anyway, nice episode, first part 5/5, second 3/5 so I'll go with a 4/5. |
| Wow finally ... some tsundere side of aika ......and her new hairstyle .....so cute ....she used to be my least favourite character before she cut her hair ......oh! the hairpin is cute :) . |
| I think I'm starting to become like Akari (just a tiny bit). When Aika sneaked out, I noticed that the girl talking to Akira said "I received a message of thanks from my customer yesterday!" Immediately I thought "that must have been nice, she was able to leave a good impression on her customer and probably showed him or her a wonderful side of Neo Venezia." I can see why Akari and Alicia do that so much, it makes life so much more interesting to turn every detail into something fantastic. Hmm, I thought romance was only implied in this series, I wonder if they'll actually go through with Aika and Al at some point. It was cute when Al commented on the hair pin. He probably noticed it from the start. |
 |
| When did Aika become this cute??? They all should wear casual more :( But isn't Al very much older than Aika?? Not that i have much of a problem with age gap..not really a fan of Al though :P |
| I gotta say, I'm not too used to Aika's new haircut yet. So glad she is happy at the end of this episode. |
 |
| Aika in casual clothes was really cute :D And Al you smooth bastard ^^ |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Another Aika episode ^_^ lovely I love it when she blushes and says doo doo or something around those lines. |
 |
| Aika....EMBARRASSING REMARKS ARE NOT ALLOWED!!!! |
 |
| Now I don't know who my favourite character is out of the 3 apprentices. Aika's become really cute every since she cut her hair. That crybaby Aika was just too adorable. And Aika with her new hairstyle and those first set of hairpins looks a lot like Lain from Serial Experiments Lain. I'm not sure if Al was simply being nice by complementing her as a friend (or worse, a clueless love interest), or he actually likes her. And it's always great when we learn more about the sci-fi aspect of the show, like those gravity stones in this episode. |
| Two waifu episodes in a row, I am in bliss. Those casual clothes, guess short hair ain't bad after-all <3 Ah Aika, your presence matters to all of us. But yeah, I can understand her. "This isn't allowed, allowed." "Wonderful isn't allowed during training!" LOL. First "It's pudding's fault." Now, it's "Hairpin's fault." Too cute. Dat smile was so precious. |

Prophetess of the Golden Era  |
| Yay!! Another Aika-chan's Episode. DAMN Al-kun doesn't have the slightest idea how lucky he is.. |
 |
| Cold Open: Aika tells Akari and Alice to work hard to become Primas when she disappears. My response, "what the hell, Aika?! What's making you depressed? This is oddly dark for Aria." She does talk about it in a hypothetical fashion, it's still dark. First Part: An Aika focused episode, not bad. It was all cute and fluffy until she dropped her ice-cream/pudding. Me: "What would have been so bad to make you that upset?" Aika explains about how well off Akari and Alice is without her. How the world is able to move on without her. Wow, that is understandable and incredibly sad. Then, Akari mentions how she felt the same way as Aika and it makes me wonder what made Akari felt that way. Seriously though, the idea of your existence fading away and seeing your loved ones move on is definitely a scary thought... In the end, cherish the time you have with your loved ones, people. Second Part: Aika mentions she doesn't know why she is feeling anxious so many times and I keep on saying "Girlll, it's cuz you like Al." Awfully cute throughout. The subs lyrics for the insert song were completely literal, not as much impact as other inserts but I guess they needed something different for this character moment. |
| Leave it to aria to make Gnome-town look beautiful in it's own mystical way. Gnomes are underrated as their technical expertise is so important in keeping Neo Venezia inhabitable, it's a thankless job since there is no obvious result as well as gnomes being rather introverted as a society. You take gravity and stability for granted, whereas the salamander sun and hustle and bustle of undines are a job that receive almost instant gratification. Hope there is more exploration of Gnome-town. |
| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| An Aika focused episode was just what we needed. We even got to see some Aika & Al moments! |
 |
| Aika was really kawaii. |
 |
| What a crybaby! xD Awww... Al-kun you're such a sweet talker, that was pretty smooth I mean you just made her day better.. That's good! I expect something more from both of them in future :D |
"Signature removed"   |
| Aika-chan just became 10x as cute thanks to the haircut and the last two episodes. Wow. Al-kun, you're one lucky gnome. First glimpse of the underground was interesting. |
| The first segment was funny, and I liked Aika's perspective for once. And we got to see some of the undercity, so that's cool. I don't care for the romance, but I assume that loosening up and allowing herself to feel things is part of her character development, so I don't particularly hate it either. |
| Aika looks so good with short and her casual outfit <3 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Hadn't thought about it before but Aika is definitely my second favorite after Akari. Her short hair is growing on me,she looked too cute throughout this episode. |
| Not really a fan of such Aika-centric episodes. |
 |
| finally aika meet al-kun good episode |
 |
| Its unusual to see Aika like this, she really has feelings for Al |
 |
| This episode presented by, Aika new appearance! Her short hair really phenomenal for me. Kinda weird while the episode not using Akari and Ai dialogue at the end and the opening. Alas, i still love Aika performance here. Nice episode presenting full of love on her truly heart and a crybaby from, Aika! Still, i want to see everyone reaction with new gondola san. But, hell no. All just usual daily life for their, with no sudden over reaction toward little detail like gondola episode before. The time must go on. Such a shame. |

| All about Aika! She looks nice in casual clothes. I don't think we've ever seen Akari in casual clothing? Would love to see that! It'd be nice I think to see everyone in casual clothing. Aika seems to have become more tsundere after her hair was cut haha her crying in bed and being such a fuss about trying to see Al was so cute to see. Definitely a side of Aika we haven't seen much before. Also, a few episodes after it started, but I'm just LOVING the new ED! |
 |
| Kyaaah, Aika in casual clothes is soooo damn beautiful <3333 Al, you damn lucky mofo, you got a great girl there. |
 |
| Last two episodes are really filled with Aikas cuteness,which is why these two have become my favorites so far.Aika is somehow more relatable one out of three main girls. |
| Aika is so precious. Was so sweet of Akari and Alice to visit and bring gifts. I just love this episode, puts a positive spin on feeling under the weather and really helps us know Aika on a deeper level which we hadn't much before. Then I thought I'd be mad at Aika going to see Al but it was really great how he noticed her hair and pins and how excited she got. |
| Aika based episode! I hope we see Al and Aika together before the conclusion of this story. |
