| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Neo-Venezia is full of undiscovered wonders... /Never seen Alicia wear glasses before :O |
 |
| this episode is too good to be true. |
| Good episode. The glasses look really good on Alicia. |
| Good episode but that's a fire hazard waiting to happen lol. Alicia with glasses was new. |
| Yaaaaay! Such calm and soothing story... For there is no end to the wonders - and that's wonderful! Ara, ara~ |
| I love the little quotes in Aria. Grandma said: Always keep a faint, warm little flame close to you. If you light the way with that flame...I'm sure you'll be able to see them. The wonders that are secretly hidden, that is. |
 |
| President Aria is cute when he wanted to blow the candle xD haha being unable to blow out i was laughing |
     |
| Alicia with glasses, nuff said. Glad there house didn't burn down though... |

| Alicia looked awesome with her glasses on. Just wondering where they got all those candles from |
| Akari is scared of the dark.. So cute! I lol'd at shachou trying to blow out the candle. |
 |
| Alicia looks pretty good in glasses. =O |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Now this is what you call a wonderful episode. It's very suprising what a person's point of view in the world can do to his or her personality. I loved how they portrayed everything as a wonder if you look at it a different way than you usually do. Few things that stood out for me were: 1. Aika and Alice arguing about the undiscovered wonder places in Neo-Venezia. That face of Alice was just hilarious. 2. The tea party during the pitch black night. It was so sweet I wish I was there. The candles really helped deepen the mood. 3. Alicia's speech about wonders. It's okay if you don't know that much. That just means that there are a lot more you're going to discover. Alicia's glasses also was cute. As usual, a heart warming episode. This is why I love Aria. It never fails to teach me something new about the world. |
| Eh although I like the message it conveys, it's a pretty boring episode for me. President Aria is too cute when he played with the flames! :3 |
| Brilliant episode as usual. I liked Alicia's quote about how there's almost an infinite amount of wonders out there. The message and how its delivered is so simple, but effective. |

| great episode :D it's strange that alicia's only 19 anyway :\ |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| Nice episode as always, Alicia has an interesting state of mind, the message at the end was very interesting. |
| I love it so much when Akari does the "ara ara ara, huhu" |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| great lesson learned from this episode :) |
| As always, nice episode. Maybe it's just me, but every second episode of "Aria" learns you something. |
| あらあら。。。 |
| Dat ending :3 nice episode trying to find new wonderful places on Aqua! |
 |
| I wonder if Alicia was similar to Akari when she was younger. Imagining Akari becoming an "Ara, ara, ufu ufu" girls is so strange. 4/5. |
| Thought Alicia lived with Akari :O! Alicia with glasses <3! This season didn't start out as good as the first but now it is as good or even better ^-^! |
| Haha it was so cute when president Aria was trying blow out the candles :) Nice episode, especially towards the end |
| That's a lot of candles lol Ahh I feel so calm and relaxed now. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Alicia with glasses males her look like a mom or even like a big sister for Akari. Lol at Alice and Aika having a secret place battle |
 |
| This was heartwarming. How do they have stock loads of candles ? :O |

| ... Where DOES Alicia live? Anyway. Definitely nice atmosphere this episode! Felt so cosy and nostalgic... but I still hafta give this epi a 2 out of 5. (Not so nice to see the quality of the animation and pacing dip behind the voice acting and music department.) (The writing wasn't perfect either! Is it just me or does all that ultrasweet goopiness flowing from ARIA Company that night (keep a flame inside you! Wonders are ETERNALLL) just make you want to laugh? I SURE AS HELL did!) |

Tsuppi said: (The writing wasn't perfect either! Is it just me or does all that ultrasweet goopiness flowing from ARIA Company that night (keep a flame inside you! Wonders are ETERNALLL) just make you want to laugh? I SURE AS HELL did!) Ha I agree. All the analogies in the previous episodes were quite insightful and made me see things in a new light. This episode though, it felt like they're getting a little out of control. Younger Alicia looked and sounded a lot like Alice. And it's hard to believe Alicia's only 19 years old. She sounds and acts like a 30 year old anime Obasan. |
| So many candles, why did Alicia even buy that many? Never bother the minor detail esp. when it comes to Aria. Another revolutionary message this episode. |
 |
| candle overload! |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Sweet episode :3 |
 |
| How did I forget about this episode? Well it's like Alicia said, if you change your state of mind even the things you see every day can take new shapes. And that's what this episode did. I could barely hold back tears during all of this, simply so awe inspiring and wonderful. Quite a number of heartfelt themes in this episode such as keeping your passion burning consistently, even if it's only soft and steady like a candle. The other one I liked was really the idea that life is filled with so many mysteries and unknowns that you can always count on something new to learn and uncover. I also loved watching Alicia light the candles, she looked like an excited child seeing a Christmas tree for the first time. |
 |
| I think that many candles are a bit dangerous Oh well it's anime xD What a wonderful episode xD Yep those wonders are last forever |
"Signature removed"   |
| The only thing that I've discovered in this episode is that Alicia doesn't live with Akari, I thought that she had a room downstairs. |
 |
| Keep a small light... what a ground-breaking message so many candles. that's just not realistic.. also, very abunai. they shouldn't teach such things children. what for Alicia needed her glasses again..? |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| You know what? The sleepover was cheesy. And yet, it totally worked for me. I guess this is what happens when you stick these two together, with no one to call them out on the embarrassing remarks. Alicia does indeed act a bit mature for a 19-year-old (I gauged her to be mid-twenties at least, along with Akira). I can excuse this, though. Most likely it's because she's managed to master the Neo-Venezia lifestyle and philosophy (her grandma says Alicia is so good at her job because she can enjoy almost anything). Maybe she merely puts her best foot forward when she interacts with the girls, and she's less perfectly chill when we don't see her. It's possible that it's a mixture of both. Or maybe she literally smokes weed Alicia and Aika's bickering was also fun. I'm very satisfied with this episode, but I understand why some people didn't like the sleepover part. I'll concede that, for example, maybe it could have used at least one or two awkward or somber moments to break the sugar-sweetness. |
| It's always astounding how such a simple show can move one so much. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| First half was godlike Aria content, second half dropped off. I didn't really care for the song that played during the episode near the end. |
 |
| This is way too much candles xD at least the stars are here |
 |
| Exploring neo venezia looks fun |
 |
| Another great allegory by Alicia bring more relaxation for my hard daily life. Once again, Akari learn more wonderful day from Alicia and her friends. A shiny stars, a miracle world by a candle light, nice episode to improve Akari's personality, and her training.... |
