That, and I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't afraid of seeing something so good end. Now that I've finally found the time, I found that the closure to the franchise wasn't that bad... Bittersweet, and there were tears shed in the process, but not in sadness, but of happiness for such a great end. Indeed, it completes the circle, with Akari now where Alicia was, and Ai-chan taking up her mantle as the undine-in-training. And life in Neo Venezia goes on...

Even though it won't be like ARIA, but I'm sure we'll see familiar elements to ARIA. <strong>Lunatic_Sae:</strong> Seeing Akari cry for the first truly was a powerful scene and is something that's etched into my heart. I would agree in some cases that this would have been the best episode, but I can't forget the time when Akari said goodbye to her gondola as that was also quite a powerful scene. I don't think Al has gotten taller, it was probably due to the angle of the camera. But in reality he is actually quite short, not to mention he is older than Akatsuki and Woody, so I don't think he would be able to grow any taller. <strong>Fisherman Horizon:</strong> I don't think ARIA merchandise will decrease any time soon, so I don't think my wallet will get fatter anytime soon. totali: ARIA may end in media form, but shall live on forever in our hearts!

From the last two episodes, you can tell that he's slowly falling for Akari. It was cute when he was having tea/coffee with her (with Aria Pokoteng on attached to his head no less) and he tells her that it'll be okay if she goes with him to Ukijima sometimes. (^_^) Also, is it just me or does Al look weird as a tall person? We never actually see him fully from the front, but from the back he looks weird already and I can't imagine little Al being tall - he's supposed to be small!! He's a gnome (>_<) Oh, and you can’t forget to add Akitsuki to the mix. From the last two episodes, you can tell that he’s slowly falling for Akari.

I thought I cried enough happy tears in episode 12, but the tears came on much harder in this episode. Seeing Akari cry for the first time brought tears to my eyes and then when you see her flashback to the times that she spent with Alicia and everyone else in the ARIA company house brought closure to the entire series. It's sad to see ARIA come to an end, but the ending couldn't have been any better. I'm currently reading (slowly) the Japanese ARIA manga right now and I'm only on volume 3, but I have a feeling I'll be crying again when I get to around volume 10-ish when Alice gets promoted and the end draws near.
