The most beautiful ARIA episode for me to date is definitely from ARIA The Natural when Akari said goodbye to her gondola. It still stands at the number 1 spot and I never had a number 2…… until now. Really, I could not help myself but smile throughout this entire episode knowing what was to come ahead, but having not read this chapter, I wasn’t too sure on what to expect. Yet the anime has once again exceeded my expectations of how well it would be executed. Time is certainly moving fast in the world of ARIA and with a lot of developments that we didn’t see in previous episode or in previous seasons.

Impressions
With Athena playing the role of a customer was a brilliant idea as it gave Alice the chance to serve a customer before she became a full fledged undine. It also allowed us to see another side of Alice, and she was certainly professional. All that training with Akari and Aika really paid off, but Alice wouldn’t have learnt all those things without them. It was also nice to see the flashback scenes of when they first meet Alice till now as it shows how much she has developed and she was able to become a Prima undine that she is now.
The orange sunset was just beautiful and how Alice was named the Orange Princess just felt so perfect at that point. With Alice’s skill and personality, it would certainly seem that she is a princess so I definitely look forward to how she handles being a Prima undine. The waterlift scene were Alice still doesn’t feel confident about her singing I considered was her final step in becoming an undine. Her singing was a surprise and she had such a nice voice as well, but she finally understood what Athena meant by how she has to love her singing before anything else.
So now Alice has been promoted to a full-fledged undine, that leaves only Akari and Aika. At this point it does seem that this is the final season of ARIA and I’m guessing the producers are going for the more in-depth episodes from this point on to wrap up the series. Next episode it’s the chapter of Aika and Al stuck in a well. This chapter personally I would consider to have the most romantic scene so I really can’t wait for this one.

Alice was so good at singing! Childhood, huh? Must be another hidden skill! xD
Sweet I was hoping for some Aika Al in the next ep….now I’m really excited about it.
totali’s last blog post..Clannad the Movie
Orange Princess?are u sure?sounds fun in my language.In manga Alice is named as twilight princess
True, in the manga, the katakana on the side of twilight princess also says orenji purinsesu. Orange Planet got a Orange Princess, make sense.
HisuiIBMower4: Orange Princess is what they said in the anime. Keep in mind I have not read the manga past volume 10. Twilight Princess is probably the literal translation of her title, but in context it is most likely Orange Princess.
