| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ahh, what a nice start to the series. |
 |
| I actually figured it out when Casanova appeared. (The little dancers looked like cats to me.) |
| Nice Episode. I think the animation is a bit better compared to the first season. |
| That was a brilliant start to a new season. I'm all blissed out now =w= |
 |
| rawrs ... this is like a supernatural series xD haha~ |
     |
| It's da cats! Nice start to the series, from what I can tell it's more of the same which is a good thing ;) |
     |
| Ahh the relaxing feeling after you watch Aria ~_~ very nice |
| It was a cute first episode, but still not as good as some from the first season. I like how much the cats are important in this show. <3 By the way, was it just me, or Akari's face looked weird? She looked prettier in the first season.... |
| Woot, we meet the person behind Casanova. =o |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Wow, what an interesting episode although as soon as that one little dancer of Casanova showed up to Akari, Ai, Aika, and Alice, I figured out that it has to be the cats. So Casanova is a big ass cat. I'm guessing he's the cat king Akari was talking about. Okay so it's good to see Ai again. I just love to hear her speak. Her voice is so cute. D: Also, I found Akari to be very cute everytime Aika says "Embarrasing remarks are not allowed." and Akari say "Ehhhh?" >:3 I was expecting an improvement in animation. It's good that it didn't fail me. I saw an improvement. Also, President Aria is still fat, aaah so cute. Carnival episode was good. Loved that we saw everyone again. |
| I have a feeling that we'll be seeing a lot more supernatural stuff from now on. This episode was okay. The Casanova parade was really surreal, imo. I didn't get much out of this ep except that I know for a fact that animals seek encounters too. |
 |
| The little cats look like mini-hollows to me lol. |
| now what a strange(and good) little episode :D i knew from the begining that Aria was one of the dancers/or casanova,so yeah :p i think the whole plot of aria will form around cats and how they connect generations or something... |

| I figured out that Casanova squad were cats, but... I thought Casanova was cats standing on each other, but it turned out to be that massive black cat.... |

| casanova my ass, that's a cat! geez this anime never really fails to amaze me ^^ |
| Casanova is a giant black cat LOL! Anyway, pretty enjoyable episode, it had really funny moments, especially with Alicia. Oh and those little things around Casanova were really cute playing and jumping around! I was pretty surprised that President was among them, honestly I wasn't expecting. Overall, good start! |
 |
| The scene where they were merrily following Casanova kinda reminded me of Zelda Majoras Mask. Anyone played it? lulz |
| Their faces look different. |
| Liked the first episode, although it was kinda obvious. I was sure on 100% that the little "kids"(how the fuck could it be kids? Only if they're 2 years old, lol), were presidents of the companys, although i was sure on 80% that the Kazanova was Akatsuki. |
| あらあら。。。 |
| Casanova being cat related was pretty obvious. Also, was it just me or was there some sort of hypnosis of Akari and Ai during the parade, their pupils were gone until Aria brought them back. Gave me a bit of a creepy feeling actually. |
| My anime list |
| Ah, nice to be back in Aqua. :) |
| Oh, carnival ~ Casanova being a cat was obvious, we already saw a pretty big cat in the bridge during the first season. Nice episode. |
 |
| I'm glad they had the same artist for the OP :) The second season's OP is just as pretty and calm as the first! And yeah, it was so obvious that Casanova and the little guys with him were cats...since Aria shachou and Hime shachou always left before the carnival starts. Cute episode to start out the season! |
| Really great start again, the relaxing atmosphere is captured in the story real great, I wonder if this season will have an ongoing story or something like that, either way lovely first episode! |
 |
| Really relaxing way to start the series. I think I'll definitely look forward to watching the rest. For some reason, this episode felt a lot longer than it actually was. I guess it's just me. |
  |
| It was about time I started watched the sequel to Animation. This episode was refreshing like always :) |
| It's summer, time for another season of Aria. Haven't heard Akari since last summer, but her voice seemed different, even though it's the same voice actress...Her old "HUE??" was funnier in my opinion. Quite the educating episode, I have come across the name of Cat Sith before but never actually looked it up, now I know where it came from. Nice to see the bunch again, relaxing times ahoy! 4/5. |
| Took me a while, but I've finally continued the wonderful gondola ride through Aria. Great way to start, a festival to end last season and a carnival to start this one. The Casanova dancing cats were amusing. |
 |
| Dat neko masks. I want to go to the Carnevale someday as well. Why can't the real world be as fun as anime sometimes? ;.; The Casanova kinda scared me at first. Zuta-taka pun~~ |
 |
| Season 1 ends with a brilliant warm run and season 2 picks up with the same warm and relaxing feeling. The episode was very good and the new OP is also very soothing. Cats leave their houses before the festival, and it turns out they were the ones doing this whole event. for some reason Casanova reminded me of the Pokemon episode with Blastoise and the Squirtles/Wartortles. If seems to me like Casanova trusted Akari and Ai because he reveled his identity and Akari and Ai did not reveal his identity. |
 |
| A great start to this season. Some of the parts with Casanova were a little creepy. |
 |
| It's a good thing I was drinking while watching this episode because I think it was a lot weaker than the first season's episodes. Either that, or I'm drunk. |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| This show needed more cats. |
 |
| Another captivating OP from Yui Makino. A mysterious episode featuring Cait Sith to start off Season 2. I like how Ai-chan was helping out at Aria Company and even had a pint-sized uniform. Alicia just had this hanging up in the closet? Maybe the uniforms from several centuries in the future will conform to a person's size. In any case, I find this series mesmerizing. |
| Gotta love Akatsuki's random nicknames. I really like his voice, too. Aika = Gachapen = gold. I feel like shipping him with Akari and Aika both at the same time. Dem dancing was a little weird but I liked the Casanova reveal. Pretty much guessed its identity, but the way it was revealed was beautiful. Akari and Ai sure love keeping secrets, I do wish they would reveal a bit of that, at least to Aika and Alice. |
 |
| so many cats, so little time |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Not a great episode, but not bad either. |
| The big ass cat mutant is kinda scary. LOL noone figured out his identity ;] |
| I hear the Aria series gets better with each season, and I hope the rest of this season is more excellent slice of life relaxation! |
 |
| Nice start to the second season I was worried at the start that I was going to have to follow the cat the whole episode again. First OP was better :(. |
