I don't like how Aikas promotion was handled, she was almost completely cast aside.


I was gunna post about how I liked it done like that. Aika subtly having no gloves. Idk. I thought it was bittersweet.

I found it interesting how Alicia said Akari already had the Prima qualities for a long time, so technically she would be ahead of Alice and Aika, no?.


I thought so after traghetto episode when all Singles, who failed their Prima exam, were amazed of Akari skills.

Wow, that was absolutely beautiful. I'm still crying a bit right now. Akari really deserves that promotion, it's kind of hard to describe my thoughts on that episode at the moment.

Akari worked hard for this moment, she deserved this moment. Nothing less or more than this.

Can't believe this series is ending in the next episode! What a journey it has been...

"That's my goal, what I want to be is like Grandmother, like Alicia-san, a Prima of the Aria Company itself"

I really like this quote made by Akari before becoming a Prima, so touching.

Congratulations my Aquamarine, also Rozen Queen T_T I've waited for this moment and it's worth the wait.

I don't see why Alicia has to retire because Akari becomes a Prima. That would be so sad.

The pace IS bit too fast, but I think the point is that their senseis don't want them to be the last single.(Think Akira's situation). Akira rushed it so that Aika wouldn't be the last one, and Aika being torn up by realising that she, the non-genius, is leaving Akari last was absolutely adorable. Of course, Alicia feels the same.


Unless Alicia is focusing on starting a family and she somehow got pregnant with her future husband off screen. I think Alicia just wants Akari to be in charge and have her moments. Still, it would be nice for Aria company to have 2 Primas, at least for a short while.

Overall I liked this episode. Aquamarine such a fitting name for Akari. She's sure come a long way since she was first shown. Akari is capable of being like Alicia if not better. She's young, still in the process of learning, and has the talent to do so.

We even got to see Aika become Prima, although it was only through a flashback. Idk why they decided to skip Aika's prima exam.

LOL! Aika and Akira crying. And now, Akari has become Prima too. Akari exam felt so beautiful.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Once again I'm completely in tears thanks to Aria's healing wonders. This is easily my favorite moment in Aria, everything about the wonders of Neo Venezia, the people there, the core cast's progression, and specifically Akari's warmth as well as Alicia's guidance are all there. When Alicia told Akari that she changed her world, I instantly thought back to Arietta. I think that part got me even more this time around because I know what's to come for the finale.

Aika's promotion was very very heavily foreshadowed from the last episode and all, and given how the series always ends it's episodes on a happy note, there was little chance of them pulling a Aika failed moment, and mhnn.. had it been a two cour season for this then it would have been utterly inappropriate but mhnn yeah.. we even got to know her to be title the past episode too so, it was all in all a wonderful episode.

Beautiful episode. That declaration once her glove was off made me cry. It is truly a wonderful moment when the long journey reaches its end.

Aika and Akari are Prima too!
Too bad that we didn't see Aika's test, we only saw the moment Akira took off the glove, it was funny seeing them cry.
Akari's test was great, we saw every people she knows and they were all supporting her!

Congratulations, Akari for being a prima!!! I'm so happy for everybody in this show!

I was on the verge of shedding tears but I couldn't, I couldn't pause the show at all. It was all so beautiful that stopping it felt like a huge disservice on my part. As a result, I got major chills during that Prima exam. Amazing.

The team behind this episode really stepped up their game. I was so entranced with all the art and flowing hair in this episode. It was so well-done. <3

I love this show. I wish it wasn't ending so soon.

Could've been a bit more impactful had the promotions been spaced out by several eps cause it does feel like being in a rush to wrap things up, but it was still fantastic nonetheless, 1 more to go.

beautifull episode. While predictable still was one of the most emotional scenes in the show, Alicia speech at the end was wonderfull and the name fits akari like a glove, I didn´t cry but that was tough not to shed a tear, I love this characters..

It was a shame we didn´t have a episode for aika promotion but it was handle rather well and both aika and akira crying was funny.

Aria the Origination is by far the best aria series, with almost or all episode being just amazing with a nice conclusion to the characters arcs and so many emotional moments, and tbh one of the best series I have seen in a long time.

For me, the most powerful moment is Alicia telling Akari that she must choose where to take her. She is letting go of Akari in promoting her to Prima, giving her all sorts of autonomy that she didn't have before, but also she is letting her choose whether she wants to stay on and lead the Aria company. It is really bittersweet.

Finally, they were all Prima there !!!

Still, the heart-warming feeling really fulled my emotion. Its such a good mood, no bad feeling. Its really charming. This series really awazing.

Ah, a bit sad not watching this when the airing time comes. Yeah, what else could i do? I can't control the time. But i need to respect every time that happen to see this show. Yeah, only that i can do now.

Thats it, then, all girls promotion happened. Its so good. No other words i can give. Its amazingly perfect. Its incredible. A fucking geniuses show. And all good words that could express the true meaning of a masterpiece.

Still, only 1 episode left. I guess the cliffhanger gone into a resignment of Alicia-san? Yeah, maybe. Like Aria Company never had two Prima before. Thats understandable for the whole plot. But, its really sad. All of this episode were sad. No single trio Undine like before. Even the ritaul of promotion with Aika not fully animated. And i can't felt much sweetness and shockness to Akira's promotion. Only that Alice-cwhan promotion. Yeah, the last one was unexpected. The geniuses one would stand in a different situations. However, need more screened to Aika and Akari's promotion!!

Damn, i was too exaggerating. Lmao. Okay. Its good now. Its okay. The end must come. The good thing must come to an end. So, yeah, its obvious. Congratulations with your new life as A Prima Undine my trio girls!

Aquamarine, a shade of blue that covers all of Aqua.

I was smiling the whole episode, the last three seasons have been worth it for now. Seeing all her friends cheer her on and Alicia take off her glove, it's just perfect.


ALSO: For all future watchers of this episode, the insert song is https://open.spotify.com/track/3TKUp5yUPIqsvEhnoamwUq?si=c51a1e30c70f42ad (Yokokao - Yui Makino) I believe.

What a lovely name. And to think Aika was going to be a supervisor as well. It's all tears but somehow not on my end yet. I suspect they'll come in the last episode.
