When it started out I thought I wouldn't like it, but the ending had both A lots of cuteness and B pretty innovative visual effects.

Anime needs more cute old people.

This what makes this show stand out among the rest.

Only a few episodes left before I go to season three. It took me a while to get this far. Finally, I found my rhythm to watch at least two episodes each day again.

I was planning to watch this show in a very slow pace. It looks like it won't be that slow anymore.

Now that's what you call an everlasting love. Even though they're quite old when it comes to age, their love for each other still burns in passion. Embarassing remarks are not allowed! :3

Few things I loved in this episode were:
1. That grandpa guy. I wonder why his ears turn red everytime something really heart warming event happen. Probably he was shy in his young days, lol.
2. In the end, everyone decided to help one another so that the wedding in the sea would happen.
3. The grandma girl and her love to her husband. Damn I wish I can find a girl that can love me forever. :(

T'was a decent episode. Not really a fan of old people since it I don't want to be old but seeing their burning love for one another made this episode heart warming.

Wow. The words Akari says in the end are so ordinary yet so warm. A great episode. Tsundere Gramps blushed ears every the other moment was heart warming. This world needs more encounters that are vowed to keep couples together for eternity.

What a a heartwarming episode, reminded me of that one time when I saw an elderly couple (must have been in their 80s) getting off of the subway, holding hands. Must be nice, spending the entirety of your life with someone you love and who loves you back...

Even Aika-chan was too touched to utter her catchphrase. By the way, how many customers did Akari take unofficially by now? Well, Alicia was there, so maybe this is an exception. Still, loved the scene with all the undines, very nice composition.

When, in the long away future, I'm going to retire, I wish I could live my remaining years in Neo-Venezia. 5/5.

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.

Definitely one of the best episodes so far. I don't think there are many great old couples in anime. At least my first time seeing one.

Aria has made me too sentimental for my own good; I don't ever remember crying because something was so heartwarming before I started watching Aria.

I guess part of what makes a utopia like Neo Venezia so wonderful is its impossibility; we want what we don't have, and a utopia is essentially everything we could ever want but can't have.

Either way, leave me and my escapism be~ I can dream, can't I?

5/5 What a wonderful episode...

I think i lost count of how many times i cried watching this series, i really don't want this series to end, even though there is still The Origination after this, the fact that Origination is the last season of Aria makes me sad.

I was so touch by this episode, the music, the atmosphere, the quotes and Akari's sayings, everything hit home and definitely one of the best episode of Aria, it gives me a really warm feeling, the old couple are really cute and Oji-san is indeed quite the tsundere. This episode makes me wonder if i could find a girl like that and spend the rest of our lives together, hahaha embarrassing remarks indeed~

I also want to live in Aqua really badly, jeez, i will rent a gondola everyday and explore every nook and cranny of Neo-Venezia.

It's like their feelings for each other could be spread by the wind to the ends of eternity.
In this wide, wide world,
in such a long, long time,
encountering just one special person could be thought of as miracle.
But then, maybe every encounter is a miracle.

This is just too beautiful. Although it hurts, I have to agree with the following:

Except, that dream gets crushed in my job, where I encounter new people everyday and just can't make that miracle happen.

Back to normal activity on fall season. After long run of magical and supernatural thingy in some previous episode, i get the event or ritual tradition once belong on Neo-Venezia (or Venice in the past) again. Now its a Sea Marriage (?) to happen here. Nice feeling, Akari glad herself as a kindhearted girl to help that old couple. Abit dislike for the melodrama atmosphere, however, in general always had some nice moment when needed. One thumb from me for sweet Akari's last speech, once again in the end to Ai-cwhan. Even Aika can't do her mark to stopping what Akari's believe. I loled for that.
