| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ridiculous episode! The peril! Suspense! Where will our brave undines go when the tide comes in and the bridges are too low? Will Akari and company make it out of Neo Venezia alive!? Leave it to Aria to keep me on the edge of my seat! |

| I didn't like this episode as much as the others... :/ |
| I'm suprised I learn something new in each episode. This Anime truly shows a moral story to the viewers. That's what I loved about Aria. As usual, Aria was cute and fat. >:3 Okay so I first I thought that the male passenger didn't like Akira since he was acting like he's mad and didn't like to be with Akira's gondola but in the end, I guess he understood Akira's personality. She's strict because she cares for them a lot. Alice was cute in this episode. The time Akira was ordering her to shout louder so that other Gondolas can hear her was so cute. I didn't expect Aika to be a cry baby. :3 Akari was also lovely. She always get distracted by his mail delivery friend, lol. |
| Haha, Akari getting distracted. Love it. <3 |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Good episode ^^ One more episode and one more moral story. |
| Good episode. This show maintains the same formula for most of its eps, but I like. There's always something to learn or be reminded of. This ep feels like a continuation of ep two, but it expands on that. Reflecting on your mistakes to get better at what you do and Akira's devotion to the trainees. |
 |
| good episode,very relaxing...but it missed something from the others...maybe the moral story wasn't that good for me as the others,but anyway :) 4/5 |

| I'm surprised to see some people didn't like this episode as much, well I honestly loved it, it was the best episode so far (and thisusually isn't my kind of anime). I really liked the "story" told here and the obstacles the girls went through xD Akira totally manipulated that customer! |
 |
| As shocking as this may sound, I am not really a fan of Episode 7. While I do understand and appreciate the lesson that Akira was teaching our three trainees, and there are a few moments that I really liked (namely the fact that even President Aria is shocked at Akira's epic pizza eating skills) overall, this episode was not at the top of my list of favorites. |

| I love how the husband "left" his book at the end in the restaurant. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Not one of my favorites either, mainly because that husband was irritating for a good fifteen minutes. Things got better when his temper started dying down and he started questioning Akira's harshness (reasonably harshness though) on the three. It showed he actually does have a conscience... I loved the theme of teamwork towards the end. Yet another sweet moment and life lesson disguised in a beautiful Aria episode. =] |
| Akira is bad ass. *_* The preview for next episode shows that Shachou will be depressed. NOOOOOOOO! ;-; |

| I liked this episode. The couple were so funny. :D |
| Didn't like it very much. Why was Akira teasing that guy so much. He was clearly annoyed by her and shes supposed to give their customers a good time. If he had left the Gondola in the afternoon as planned he would have walked away with bitter feelings. But he stayed and realized what Akira is all about... how convenient for Akira. |
| Akira is a pretty awesome character. |
| An irritating tourist appears! Quite the bothersome critter. Compared to the other episodes I didn't like it that much either, but there were still some nice moments and of course it was as relaxing as ever. 4/5. |
| That's some training, haunted house style. Akari and co have a long way to go before becoming pro. |
 |
| Akira can be scary sometimes. |
 |
| Great episode! that atmosphere allone was amazing :D |
 |
| Best ep so far i feel. :) |

 |
| Wow I have loved this series so far but I thought this episode was awful, they were treating the whole looking for a good route thing like a life or death situation and it just came across as silly imo, comedy was also lacking a certain punch, hope this doesn't continue in the next eps. |
| Loved the symbolism behind the husband leaving his tourist guidebook behind at the pizza restaurant. Shows how he gradually changed from being stubborn and rigid to being able to accept things and experience them for himself. |

It was to do with the fact that if they weren't able to drop-off the couple before sun set, they would've failed themselves as Undines. Given the context, I don't think it was too silly, but I agree that the comedy in this episode was a bit underwhelming. |
 |
| Great episode. Training can be heard but it's good for the experience! Ah, I want to ride on one of those someday. Hell, I want to go to the Aria world... |
 |
| This episode was just so-so. It didn't have as much of that hypnotic/relaxing ability as the others. |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| The guy thought being an Undine was easy. Even Akira said that when high tides come even she has trouble getting by at times. Pretty much an episode to test the skills of the Aika, Akari and Alice. Oh and it's also the first time the 3 company cats are together on the gondola. I also noticed that the cats didn't follow the rule that the undines have. Only President Aria follows the A rule. Alicia makes a short apperance which is nice because I missed her Ara, Ara, Ara , and Akira sure has a big stomach, chowing down on 2 huge pizza slices. |
 |
| I actually quite liked this episode. Nice how the guy litters at the end by leaving the book on the chair. |
 |
| I really enjoyed episode 7. I find many of Aika's interjections to be quite funny when she's responding to Akira. |

| Loved this episode, among my favs for sure. |
 |
| My least favourite episode so far. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Meh. |
| Ok episode. Enjoyed Alicia reappearance . |
 |
| I loved this episode, it really captured how unexpected and even awkward happenstances are what make travelling, and life in general, so wonderful. |
 |
| Ugh as part of the Tourism industry I hope customers like that fall off a cliff. >:( |
| I know very well that the husband is jealous because her wife admire Akira a lot xD Aria Sacchou, if only you're not scared when spider web hit you.. You might be already impressed your beloved crush xD Poor tour book, drowned..dried.. and abandoned :( |
"Signature removed"   |
| This one was boring. I like Akira more and more though. |
 |
| I don't think I can over-analyze this episode, but it was a pretty good time anyways. Akira is the mentor that everyone needs sometimes, though we already knew that she was tough on Aika because she cares. She's also a charmer of ladies, which is something I should have expected, in hindsight. |

| Good thing the fourteen year old knows how to pick locks. |
 |
| I'm not really a big fan of Aria so far, as it is just too preachy. And this episode is preachy as hell. That husband is just very immature. His wife is a big fan of Gondola, so even if you don't like it, can you at least try to be an adult and not spoil the fun for your wife? A grown up man acting like a 10 year old... And why am I watching this guy being converted by Akira? This guy is not an interesting character at all. I don't think I need to endure this guy to receive a "moral lesson" from an anime. Just show me interesting characters, don't moralise me. |
