I don't understand, I thought the Three Water Fairies were the boss of their own company.
Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone

I seriously cringed when Alice wacked her left hand and omg, that cafeteria scene was so awkward. I can only imagine how Akari felt. lol

BUCHOU WHY SO CUTE AND SWEET?!?! I aw'd so loud when he meowed "Okaeri" when the girls got back to Alice's room. *gushes on elsewhere*

Maa looks really strange. :/ And Alice's deformed faces weren't funny at all. Still, quite nice episode.

So that's what Athena looks like... she's OK but I'm going back to Alicia. LOL

It was so strange seeing Akari in a different uniform. I welcomed the focus on Alice, I think she is my second favorite character after Akari, though Aika can be quite adorable at times. It was so nice of Aria to comfort Alice's left hand each time she punished it 4/5.

And finally we met Athena :)
she's adorable and smart - of course Alice doesn't notice that

what I liked in this episode was showing that despite all her skills in gondola, Alice is just a normal kid.
Kind of naïve, thinking she's smarter than she really is and making some weird things (nothing that Akari did so far is as strange as Left Hand Campaign).
She should spend more time with Akari, that would be healthy for her :)

It was a cat ? Maa-kun ? Mah...

Athena, one more sweet character to add at the list. Alice's campaign was also funny.

I've never seen more ugly in different ways looking individuals of a single species in the same anime. Maa-kun looks like a Pacman panda and I'm still not sure what Aria actually looks like.

Was I the only one who broke out laughing when Alice punched her left hand after her left hand had "won" in rock, papers, scissors for the first time?

I also love the small amounts of symbolism in the episode. Alice never realized how much her left hand helps her everyday just as she never realized how much Athena has helped her in the past. Left hand = Athena.

LEFT HAND = ATHENA.

What a nice way to introduce Athena. Really liked the parallel between her and Alice's realization that the left hand isn't useless and does supports the right.

This was a fantastic episode with a sweet message. I definetely will try to give my left hand and all the other discreet things of my life the proper respect they deserve.

I REMEMBER TOUCH. PICTURES CAME WITH TOUCH. A PAINTER IN MY MIND.

Athena's singing voice <3

Lol as I am left-handed, I should start a right hand campaign... Then again, I divide tasks between both my hands so it's probably not necessary.

Maa-kun is... too cute. I can't resist of its cuteness, and I am not even that into cute things but Maa-kun is an exception.

Athena is kinda cute with her clumsiness, wish she spoke more. But then again, that's part of her charm.

And Maa-kun is just purrfect. Damn you.

I remember playing something similar with my hands like Alice.

Yup, I think the same Akari. Athena does all that purposely. She actually reminds me of myself in that aspect. Always looks spaced out (and in my case, lazy... and bored as well), hence easily overlooked as someone naive but is actually perceptive and can get some things done better and faster than others. She can sing all episode, her voice us so calming.

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

Seems i was missing out cause i didn't see any of that.

my only real complaint so far is that i dislike the "presidents".

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

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

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.

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.

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
of feels,Athena exactly did that for her friend and I found it really touching and beyond great. 5/5

That voice 6/5
