It was another nice episode, it was great seeing a different side of Aika-chan but, I think Al x Aika would make an odd couple lol

Yes it was nice seeing Aika's other side. Although I find it a bit odd that out of everyone she seems to like Al... Anyways, President Aria trying to 'seduce' President Hime was nice~ Too bad it turned out to be Akari xD



Amazing sig set thanks to -DraGonZ-

Al, man, what a playa! Good to see a little romance in Aria and not just a big lesbo fest (ala Lucky Star, Azumanga, K-on). Aika wearing high heals to impress Al was a nice touch.

lol, Aika likes the shortie! xD
This episode was cute, I liked seeing Aika in the spotlight again. :D

It was really funny when President Aria was being all romantic, and President Hime just went away. :P I love those cats...

By the way, I find it interesting that in an "italian" city they eat so much japanese food. xD Oh, well..

Was I the only one who was interested in the whole gravity and meteor explanation? :P

Joking, I loved how Aika was blushing when she was alone with Al on the rooftop. They look so cute together!
I wonder if they'll ever be together though.
Well, this is Aria, so it's not important.

I'm really thinking that Al is part ninja--this is one of many times that he appears seemingly out of thin air! I love the part when Aika is laughing about Alice missing the meteor shower, then the scene cuts to show Al next to her laughing!

Poor President Aria...all he wants is to spend a little time with Hime-Sachou, but she wants nothing to do with him. She must have high standards.

This is a cool episode! And I love the way it shows Aika and Al's relationship. For some, it may be a little slow on the uptake, but I think it's moving at a very realistic pace as far as a relationship goes.

I can't help it - Al-kun looks too young...I know that he's older than the girls but wtf why does he look like a 12-years-old boy >_< And the difference in height is also amusing ~ I think Aika might have to bend down to look him properly in the eyes XD

LOL I DIDN'T EXPECT AIKA TO FALL IN LOVE WITH AL. What a sudden turn of events. I guess she's into older smaller guys. Okay so I never thought of Aika as a girly girl since she acts like a tomboy. After seeing this episode, it made me realize that she also has a girly side in her.

The meteor shower was nice. I think Akari knew that Aika likes Al so she went away so that they can have an alone time together. It was also funny when Aria was proposing to the other cat with a deep voice but ends up proposing to Akari, lol.

Aika wearing an elegant shoe sure was suprising. I wonder what did she see from Al. Also, those "That sentence is from the Man-Home." by Al was confusing. Was that suppose to be a joke or what? I didn't get it. :(

I thought this was an excellent episode.

Sure, the Aika x Al pairing might seem odd at first, but Aika is a woman with preferences after all.
I loved how they compared falling in love with someone with the mechanics of meteors.

Ai: "Right after being entranced by Aqua, they get drawn in, and burn up."
Al: "Although it's rare, sometimes the meteorites that become shooting stars don't burn up, but occasionally reach Aqua."

I love astronomy and I never thought of it that way before. Amazing.

Another cute episode! I kind of like Aika x Al, even though there is a height difference and he looks younger...like a little brother. Every time I watch an episode of Aria, I always end up wanting to experience what happened in the episode >< I want to see a meteor shower!

You totally said a sappy line there Aika-chan.

Don't really like the pairing, but the episode was so relaxing as usual, that I can overlook it. 4/5.

Ara, ara... Seems Aika's head is not so full of Alicia that there's room for no one else in her thoughts... :)

But I'd like it if some romance happened beyond the romance of the city.
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like Akari is more cheerful and happy going in this season so far. I know that's hard to tell, but it seems that way. The meteor shower was nice, and this episode touched up on the force of attraction in more ways than one ;).

Lol, that was a cute episode. The meteor shower was nice too but Aika's reactions to Ai were priceless. I think that blush and thump thump she's getting is a sign of innocent love.

Want to say 'slightly disappointed' with the start to the 2nd season so far, maybe i'll blame myself for looking at the MAL score and thinking there would be a lot of changes, but so far its been generally the same and i'd say the first season was a bit more creative, still a long way to go though.

Aika likes Al. So... that's a thing. I don't mind really mind; they have an alright dynamic, it just seems a bit too fast because they haven't really interacted that much on screen before this episode.

But I was a little bothered by the technobabble. Mars's surface gravity wouldn't necessarily have to be increased in order to retain the new atmosphere that was created during the terraforming process (it also shouldn't be possible without adding mass, but this is not hard sci-fi, so I can overlook that). What actually would be necessary though is protecting the atmosphere from solar wind. To that end, they would have to maintain a magnetic field around the planet somehow, either restoring its magnetosphere or through other means.

When a slice of life show is so laid-back it can take time to show a scene of nothing but some character hopping down a short ledge, I know it's going to be good. Non Non Biyori has similar scenes and it's my favourite in the genre.

After a short glanced at season 1, now i see full appearance for Al-kun, the Gnome, at this episode full of shower meteor, and ... love....

Seriously, its surprised me while getting a monologue from Aika, cause thats not appear in season 1. Glad to see these character development in a very unique way. Kinda find it a bit rushed, but it feels okay when time clocking again into the calmer one. Since calm and relaxation mode has clocking again as a theme while the showers come, i think that relation can be separate a while as a weakness.

Despite how embarased Aika feels in a whole time, this episode telling the shower of meteor really amazed me til the end. Nice episode.
