This the most heavenly beautifully executed episode yet!
Aside from Pikari's solution of buying a storage tablet for Teko, another option/alternative is giving a 128 Exabytes capacity of QSD card (Quantum SD card from Yumemi Hoshino of Planetarian) to Teko, then problem is solved! Even if Teko would be an obasan, the QSD card won't even reach 0.001% of used space.
Aria cat always steals the show with it's adorableness!
5/5.

Dotty's friend is literally Akira and Aika.
And voiced by literally same VA from Aria.


Cheezus christ. My dream is f*cking come true.
Thank you sato-jun to bring back another cameo from Amano's previous work into another level


Same! I did a little squeel inside when I heard Akari's voice actress. Awesome cameo!

damn i recognized akari but i could hardly hear aika too lol
thanks for pointing that out for me , had to go and recheck ...
btw is there any other anime made by the same guy that looks like aria and amanchu? i'm sure i would like it too


Kaleido Star has a similar feel to it I find although it is bit more a sports anime, although has lots of sol goodness to it as well.


And don't forget that the MC from Kaleido Star is also voiced by Alice Carroll's VA :D

Teko's old friends seemed pretty nice, and I like the idea of what she does with her pictures. Would try that myself if my life wasn't so flipping boring. I swear her dialogue sounds like a poem sometimes, but pretty good poems, so it's fine whoop. Pikari had a nice idea with the digital photo frame.

Man Teko in middle school cutecutecutecute
Her friend is cutecutecute too, the other friend is cute too

I feel her a lot tho, like a lot. The feeling of wanting to treasure things. Also goodbyes are hard. I'm no good with them.

Pikari is so optimistic, a ray of sunshine. I love how she manages to find a good side of everything.
Teko thinks negative, she can't help it. But Pikari changes her slowly, but surely. I love this ship so so much, it's extremely healthy and positive. Just seeing makes me think positive too. Love it.

This friendship is one of the most beautiful things ever.

This is so beautiful. This show knows where to strike, and make it feel good. Plain beauty.

After watching this episode and skimming through this thread and reddit forums with all the Hazuki Erino and Saito Chiwa cameo greatness replies(I know I know I fanboyed like shit when I heard that Hohi sound of Akane? like come on it's literally the same voice as my best grill of all time, also Akane's last name I think is Mizunashi which means ancestor of Akari maybe?, also with her friend sounded as Aika) can we all agree that this episode 9 so far for all the Aria faggots here including me can agree with this shitty theory of mine that it is the epitome of the show's episode title "Memories you can't erase" not only for Teko but also for some of us Aria faggots and the way we reacted on Teko's friends is the proof of that one *goes into the corner and cried like a bitch* like come on that's fcking best grill Akari voice (Hazuki Erino) cameo bruuuh Sato definitely finds a way in this one........... thank you fcking so much

Great episode, Teko becomes the protagonist of the narrative, but Pikari and Ai do not remain aloof, beautiful story, so deep and thoughtful in dealing with the topic in question. The management of many details of secondary importance (although I consider them fundamental), brings even more value added to the narrative. more and more beautiful anime series, his OST is very beautiful to listen to. Another element that I love this anime, it's the fun that can instill in the viewer.

Pikari's speech about the giver being just as happy as the receiver regarding gifts was spot on.

The episode was almost perfect, the best one so far!

I say almost because there were few scenes that were ruined by their superdeformed counterparts...
Though I understand those are trademarks of Kozue Amano and that it works in manga, in the anime they are way too overused sometimes.

Still, when opening melody started to play and after Teko recieved their gift.. I have to admitt I shed a few tears.. the ending when her old friend called her was very nice indeed... so great episode!

Avant title was so good, too cute, picture perfect

Related hard to Teko's speech about getting farther out of touch, I moved a lot in childhood and it obviously happens every time. Natural things when you become an adult but to experience that in your teens when friends are so big in your life is defo a jarring experience. For girls I imagine it would have an even bigger emotional impact

Outstanding episode, maybe the best til this point, maybe the penultimate sequence was a bit dragged but disregarding that this was perfect

I need to watch Aria someday..

"Hey, Teko, your phone is out of storage."



Teko's memory dilemma initially came off as a first world problem to me since I have a 5GB phone, but I came to feel bad for her through the course of the episode.

"Stupikari"...don't call my precious green-haired cinnamon roll that, Ai, you bitch.

The digital photo album, huh? I haven't seen one of those in years. My great-grandmother had (has?) one of those. I figured they would just set her up with a Facebook or a Dropbox.

wow.. just wow.. i can't say much but it's heartwarming a lot.

i remember i read somewhere kayano ai (teko VA) wants to become seiyuu because she watch aria franchise and now she's playing a direct role with erino hazuki (akari VA) and saitou chiwa (Aika VA), the people who inspire her to become seiyuu. this is somehow made me cry..
Watch aria the animation and it's sequel.

Being so concerned about maxing out your phone memory? Yeah, that's very Teko-like. I still love her tho.

Fantastic episode overall. I absolutely loved how Teko's introspection was handled and the final sequence with the present, Pikari's hug and the phone call was a perfect way to conclude this already great episode.

By the way, middle schooler Teko is sooo cute >w<

That's so beautiful and it's also pretty relatable how she feels.

I thought Akane's voice sounded kind of unique, so I went to check out her seiyuu's MAL page and saw her Aria credit and a comment section full of "Hahi ( ̄ロ ̄ )"s... right as she said it. Pretty funny

Seeing Teko getting some friends in the past was sweet. I like how close they seemed to be and how close the new gang is as well.
