| Yay, Hot Spring episode =P Seems like so many Comedy/Drama anime have a hot spring and/or beach episode. I love how almost all (If not all) the episodes of this anime so fully encompass beauty and serenity. Most specifically in this episode the image of smoking chimneys on a cool winters evening, The hotspring scene in the moonlight, and finally all of the snow-flys flying away into the night. Gives you a nice peaceful feeling to watch. Also, I wonder how many people would want to take a leisurely gondola tour in the winter O_o Ara ara ara Alicia-san~ |
 |
| ah i remember this episode. the "hot spring" in aria is really cool. they really do make use of the world they are in. And I agree with you 100%, i really love how this anime, as you said, fully encompass bueaty and serenity. |
 |
| Snowfly so Kawaiiiii!! |
 |
| the snowfly with the little ribbon was so cute!!!! |
  |
| ahh, relaxing. one of the best episodes yet. |
| Nice episode, would love to have a snowfly instead of house flies that land on your freshly baked pizza and die cause it's too hot. |
 |
| This episode was very enjoyable :) It was extremely refreshing and eveything was depicted so beautifully. Honestly, they way the hot spring was portrayed and the way everything looked made me sleepy at home on my couch beside the fireplace... |
| Another nice and refreshing episode ^^, it was very well done, I really liked the scene where it connected to the ocean and the ping-pong scene was added in pretty well xD |
valsu said: This was one of my favorite episodes so far. Glad to see there wasn't any real fanservice. Pretty rare for a hot springs episode of any show. That's why it becomes my favourites series: no unnecessary fanservice :) And yet - an awful lot of beauties :) |
| The snowflies look so cute xD haha~ |

streat said: Haha. I love how the snowfly who supposedly likes the winter and the cold actually stayed with Akari during the hot spring trip...even though it's so hot there o.o I'd stick with Akari during a hot spring trip too ;) dagomir said: valsu said: This was one of my favorite episodes so far.

| Dammm!! I wish my life was as peaceful as these girl's. Being constantly amazed at everything remotely beautiful and pleasant must be nice. But seriously... towels in a hot spring!? Cmon, almost ruined the ep for me~ |

| I liked this episode but the art was weird some of the time. :/ It's a good hot springs episode overall. Akari was very sweet most of the time. I'm liking her more and more. Alicia also got some points. I'd love to meet a woman like her. :) |
| Holy shit, how was that hot spring connected in the ocean not cold during the winter? I'm not going to ask more since it's a different planet, lol. Anyways, it was a good episode. Hot spring episodes are all nice afterall. :3 Their life is so peaceful. It's so peaceful that it seems to be impossible, lol. Okay so the snowfly-san was cute. I don't know how it got attached to Akari. I'm guessing Akari is a sweet person, that's why. I thought they're going to be the snow in Neo-venezia. I was wrong. The house looked a bit creepy. Alicia also looked creepy when she was asking the girls to follow her to the outside spring. It was like she was leading them somewhere dangerous, lol. |
| Hot Springs <3 |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| not as good as the last one,but it was still great and relaxing :D going to sleep now zzZZZzzzZZ |

| Athena, Alicia, and Akira seen together... |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| weird hotspring they got there == |
| Nice episode. That snowfly was so cute! |
| I can so relate to waking up in the cold and wanting to just stay in bed. But I loved the onsen trip in the manga and was happy that it was done so well in the anime. ^^ Great episode. |

| Such a relaxing episode. |
| I liked that yukimushi, and hope to see it again in the next season. Poor Aika-chan, from Heaven to Hell... 4/5. |
| Hop spring connected to the ocean ? Wut. Relaxing episode as usual. |
 |
| Ara ara ara... I like turning an old house into a hot spring, literally. |
 |
| Ah...right now it's winter and I wanna go to an onsen too T_T Particularly one that is an old house turned into hot spring! I didn't read many chapters of Aria, but I think this is one of the earlier chapters and it definitely stayed with me because of the interesting scenery of the onsen and the part where it connects to the ocean. I also loved the snowfly! So cute! If only bugs were that cute in real life lol... |
| Nice hotspring episode, those snowflies where interesting :) |

| It's just boring to me. I've seen many hotspring episodes in anime done better than this. 2.5/5 |
 |
| The ludicrousness of wearing towels in a hotspring aside, I thought this was as pointless as it could possibly get. Other than revealing some information about their world with the snowflies, it didn't seem to do anything important. None of the characters received any development, and the episode appeared to be thematically bankrupt. It still has that relaxing nature associated with Aria, but it's just a bit on the lackluster side compared to the earlier episodes. |

Appreciating life and finding the beauty in the mundane is a core theme of the show, so I would say that this episode was far from pointless. Is it a favorite of mine? Not in the least, I agree that it's not as character focused as some of what I believe are many of Aria's best moments. But, definitely not pointless. |

| Ara ara~ I want a snowfly :3 |
| That was a really cool onsen. Flooded mansion + connected to the ocean. |
 |
| Great episode with lots of beautiful images and visuals. I really liked the atmosphere of the hot springs and mansion ruins. |
 I REMEMBER TOUCH. PICTURES CAME WITH TOUCH. A PAINTER IN MY MIND. |
| Another serene episode. I appreciate how the makers of this series balance the peacefulness, the occasional mild humor, and the sometimes reflective tone. Very well-done. |
| "Slow and clumsy girls aren't allowed." LOL. I will nevet get tired of this. Their faces after drinking that milk, so epic esp. Aika's. This show just melts me. |
 |
| I wanna see more Athena :C. I liked how their was no fan service in a hot springs episode. |

| Obligatory hot spring but without the fanservice. A hot spring connected to the ocean? Seems legit. |
 |
| If only every episode would be that enjoyable like this one... |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
