| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Another episode with two short stories~ 1. Poor Akari, wonder off into a daydream because of the heat, then into the cat world without knowing. 2. Lol, she takes her nightshine chime everywhere :D |
 |
| Aw, I loved this :) The first one was kind of day-dreamy and it was fun to watch since it kind of made me all drowsy too ^_^;; And the second part was beautiful needless to say. The sound made by the nightshine chime was so soothing and relaxing :) |
| Second part = speechless |
 |
| Loved this episode! 1st part made me feel so exhausted and sleepy! The part with the cats was rather creepy though. 2nd part was simply magical and beautiful. |
| I like anime and stuff |
| Beautiful episode. |
 |
| lovely episode =) |
     |
| The second was the best, touching in a very strange way~ |
     |
| Hm, as I mentioned previously, the episodes with the cats working their mysterious magic really haven't been my favorite. I liked the second part more, but pining for a little chime seemed a little silly to me, though quite cute. |
| Oooh Miss Alicia It's our own secret garden Lesbians at war |
| One of my favorite Aria episodes. Makes me want a chime just like that. |
| Sweet episode |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| What a lovely episode. Although it was divided into two parts, it was still lovely. I can almost feel the hotness since I've experience that kind of summer before and I'm going to experience it again. :( Few things from the 1st part that I loved were: 1. Akari wondering off into this illusion-like kingdom where there is no people except her. I was scared for a moment that she might fall to the ocean or something, lol. 2. Cait Sith showed up again. I wonder if he likes Akari since he's been showing his face to Akari a lot of times now. 3. Few facts about cats. I was wondering if those were real. I don't know anything about cats. :( Few things from the 2nd part that I loved were: 1. The 3 girls bought the chimes similar to the color of their hair. It's like they purposely matched it or something. 2. The chime and Akari had something together, lol. I think it didn't want to say goodbye to Akari so it left Akari a crystal. 3. The ritual before the chime's life is going to end. Some italian words were said and that's cool. Overall, pretty lovely episode. I love all these episodes with two parts. |
| Simply lovely ep! One of the best so far. aww I really really want a nightshine chime now! :3 |
| This episode wasn't that bad. I loved the direction of the first part. With all the strange angles (most notably in the cafe) and surreal-ness going on, it gave this part a mirage-like quality. The second part was pretty good. Kinda funny seeing how close Akari is with her nightshine. The part with all the nightshines in the water was really nice. |
 |
| ok what did Akaria smoke on the 1st part cuz i want some of that pronto xD the 2nd part was really beautiful,it made me somehow shed a tear O.o... 5/5 :) |
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) |
| lmao looked like the cats were going to attack her at first xD all the lights at the river was a great scene though. |
| Tante grazie. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| as expected from akari, always the best <3 and ara ara littering in the ocean isn't allowed :P |

This is pretty much exactly my opinion, to the point where I suspect you read my mind and then time-traveled to the past. Anyways, I feel like as good as it was, I prefer the full episodes to the mini-episodes. I feel so satisfied after one mini-episode that I don't even want to watch the next one LOL |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Even though Ai is a kid, i like her comments about everything. I've liked the second part more than the first, that view, when the crystals were falling into water - wasn't that beautiful? Also, Aria teaches me new italian words. Aria - air; Tante Grazie - thank you for everything. |
| あらあら。。。 |
| wow... this episode was soooo beautiful had my earphones plugged in and all of the sounds... *_* so amazing, really! |
| It's from this episode that I've started to re-experience the feelings I had with Aria the Animation. Maybe it's because of Cait Sith, and the cool bass line when Akari wanders; or maybe because only Akari could have a deep interaction with a wind chime in such a partaking way... I'm not sure... Anyway I'm glad... |
 |
| That was just beautiful really liked the ending! |
 |
| ;-; |
  |
| Akari really has an innate ability to wander between space and time. This instance of "Why am I crying?" was probably the cutest one I have seen. Next episode looks like another Alice-chan focused one, can't wait. 4/5. |
| great episode |
| Akari's face when she realized she's in a dream world haha. It was like watching a completely different show. Well I can understand why the nighttime chime doesn't want to leave either. Akari is love <3 |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Akari stumbles upon the cat world by accident. Akari buys a gem and later releases it into the water. Don't cry Akari, Alicia is there for you ^^ |
 |
| I want to go to the kitty bar!!! And also, god damn it we are caring about light stones now... |
 |
| The first part reminded me a little of the Bebop episode where everyone were tripping on mushrooms. And even the giant goofy cat can't help but become a fan of Akari. This is like the third time he let her into the cat world. Even though Akari was having her tea time with Aria, it looked more like she was going on dates every night with her Nightshine chime lol. |
| Those cats kinda scared me tbh, esp. that human-esque bartender one. The 2nd story was so magical, really liked it... Akari crying was a really powerful scene. |
 |
| damn Akari was on one. trippin balls |

| i want some iced milk ;o |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| The magical moment with all the chimes in the ocean! Tante grazie... |
 |
| 2nd part was beautiful |
 |
| Aria just creeped me more than most legit horror/psychological stuff :(. Cool episode. |
 |
This moment really caught me off guard. Great execution. |
 |
| Objects have feelings too, people! I'm sad(and happy) because of a nightstone :( "Tante Grazie" |
"Signature removed"   |
| i really like those cat episodes |
 |
| The story about the cat bar was boring as always. I liked the second story though, it was a bit touching. |
 |
| The seond part was beautiful again :) |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The first part was so surreal and ominous feeling. Second part was beautiful,Tante grazie. |
| I'm gonna try iced milk when summer rolls around... Very good. This episode made me cry nearly as hard as episode five in the first season, with that second story. Brilliant all around. |
kie_ said: So they concluded the anime with some feminist shit... Markdoka said: The ones hating this anime are MOSTLY SJWs, yaoifags and Narutards. LUCKILY I'M NOT ONE OF THOSE DAMN SJWS, YAOIFAGS AND NARUTARDS bashing the show for being "too edgy" and "too un-PC". |
| The first half was almost creepy, but its heartwarming side won out. |
 |
| What's wrong with this anime i'm near to tears every episode i don't even know why lmao |
| I'm at this point demand Cait Sith to be a regular of the show. He's so loveable. me watching the second story: This is how summer should be. I'm trapped indoor all the time. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
