| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It was a very pleasant episode, I really enjoyed the flashback about Akatsuki the rest of them as kids, the confrontation between him and Akira was hilarious^^, |
 |

| This episode was awesome!! felo said: Exactly.the mole dude is one year older than akatsuki, gtfo |
 |
| Man, Aria doesn't have a single bad episode. Or even any "average" episodes. |
 |
| "ahhh" that part was hilarious x3 do want more akatsuki x akari I was surprised that akatsuki didnt realize that was them& even more surprise that akira forgot about it o.O was expecting something else... loved the episode btw. gosh, want to know how old that kid is >.< |
 |
| Ah, that was awesome!~ The flashback when they were all younger was incredibly sweet and I loved Akatsuki as a kid. I can't believe he didn't know that was Alicia or Akari xD Jeez, how old is Al? Does he not age at all like President Aria? ^_^;; |

 Credits for the av go to whispering-eden.livejournal.com =) I used to be Dolce_Vitka here, but Vitka_Lynx is my nickname at alost all other sites, so I decided to take it here, too ^___^ |
| That was a funny episode. I like the way they reminisced the past. Who wouldn't thought that his admired brother turns out to be a girl? |
     |
| Akira has such an awesome evil laugh! kekekeke |
| I like anime and stuff |
| Akira was full of win in this episode. Needs moar Akatsuki. Scud said: Man, Aria doesn't have a single bad episode. Or even any "average" episodes. |
 |
| Akira look so funny when young xD haha ~ she also look like a boy |
     |
| Excellent ep. Loved the flashback Akira vs Akatsuki was hilarious. The end scene with all the main characters passing by was cool too. |
     |
| So adorable. |
| Oooh Miss Alicia It's our own secret garden Lesbians at war |
Scud said: This is one of those series that is good, period. I can't beleive I missed this gem of a series when it first came out.Man, Aria doesn't have a single bad episode. Or even any "average" episodes. I do love how everyone is related to each other and it was shown in the flashback. orangehouse said: She was a tom boy in her younger days, and grew up to few a fine looking lady.Akira look so funny when young xD haha ~ she also look like a boy |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| Amazaingly good episode. I loved how they talked about the circle of friends and Akari is in the middle of it. I also loved the flashback of when Alicia and others were still little. Few things I loved from this episode were: 1. The flashback as it was so hilarious. Akatsuki was damn funny thinking he can beat Akira. 2. Akira looked like a boy when she was young, wtf. 3. The mole dude being 1 year older than Akatsuki, omfg what the shit. 4. In the end, they showed all the main characters, which was very nice and touching aswell. Very nice episode. I loved it. Akari probably got jealous and thought she wasn't included in the circle of friends because they were talking about "good memories" from the past. She didn't realize she's also included in it. :D Too bad Ai-chan wasn't there literally. :( |
| Haha, the flash back is hilarious. x] |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Anyone paid attention to the episode preview? Akira prima undine next episode!? Or so I think that's what it looks like. Lolol @ Akirasaur EDIT: watched episode 16 and (-_-") |

| Nice episode. I kinda had a feeling that Al would be the oldest there. I liked how Akari was alone and then everyone showed up. Thus she is definitely involved with the continuous circle. :] |
 |
Scud said: Trufax. Man, Aria doesn't have a single bad episode. Or even any "average" episodes. Also, I didn't realize that Athena's new song was to the melody of the puppeteer's music as well. That was a nice surprise. |
| ahaha good episode ^^ wait...Al-kun is one year older than Akatsuki?O.o,wth testosteron problems!? |
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) |
| Argh so boring. Not a great fan of Akatsuki. He reminds me of Naruto; what with his clothes, name and all. |
orangehouse said: Akira look so funny when young xD haha ~ she also look like a boy On top of that, she used "Ore" a lot, which is how young males refer to themselves. Funny how the years change some people--Akira goes from being a tomboy to being one of the most popular Undines in Neo-Venezia...ironically more so with females. And my theory that Alicia got her "Ara Ara" from Grandma was blown out the water this episode! |

| that was embarrassing akari-chan wiggling your hands to feed akatsuki >////< it was a very wonderful episode again ^^ |
| 5/5, great episode. Very enjoyed the flashback, and i SERIOUSLY THOUGHT that Alicia's boyfriend was a boy! Sherr said: Thus she is definitely involved with the continuous circle. :] ^ - you can probably say, that she IS that continuous circle. |

| あらあら。。。 |
| D'awww. The ending was cute. |
| This was a great episode especially fun to see them all in younger form, and yea the first sighting of young Akira I directly noticed that she was Akira :p still very pleasant to see ^^ |
 |
| I got my wish! Tomboy Akira was just pure class. |
 |
| Akari sure is a real magnet, so many of her acquaintances just happen to wander around that part of Neo-Venezia. Alicia being a proper little girl in the flashback gave me some chuckles, she really is very ladylike, unlike Akira. Speaking of whom, it was nice seeing her again, she had like one appearance this season? Needs more Aika though. 4/5. |
| Hahahaha funny yet heartwarming episode , love it! |
| And it just keeps getting better! |
 |
| Alicia was so cute when she was little, thought I wonder if she's been doing "ara ara" from birth o_o. Akira was extremely daring and now I can see why her and Akatsuki don't get along. It was interesting seeing several characters from previous episodes so close together in the city, going around and around. It's a small world after all. |
 |
| Ah that was funny! Akira used to be a tomboy :D Lovely episode ^-^ |
| The way they finished the episode off with athena singing her song, and the other characters going about their daily lives, made yet another great ending to a episode of this awesome series. the person who made this series is amazing indeed |
| Haha that flashback ^^ Who would have thought the Crimson Rose was such a tomboy when she was a kid lol. They may have changed physically but inside, they're still the same. Alicia was already doing ara ara and uhuhu even as a kid lmao! The ending was really cute. I guess Alice never conquered that stone kicking task. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Childhood reunion in the end. Akatsuki finally reunites with his childhood friend who ends up being Akira. Alicia as a child is so adorable, and wow them cowboy beets she had on when she went with Akira to play with Akatsuki/Woody were beautiful. I'll never get tired of hearing Alicia says Ara,Ara,Ara or her giggle. |
 |
| A decent episode. What a plot twist! didn't see that coming. I never thought that 'boy' was Akira and damn Al is the oldest among them? Aria gets better and better. Glad I'm recommended to this show. |
| This season has had a serious lack of Akira. Glad this was rectified. Also nice montage at the end. |
 |
| Young Alicia with that serene expression looked really cute, and she's been going ara ara since way back too lol. But younge Akira was the best part of the episode. And Akari sure can make the most embarrassing remarks. Al is now also older than Akatsuki and Woody. What next, he's an immortal spirit looking over all of them? |
| Finally some Akira time! She appeared after like- 10 or something episodes. And finally some Akari x Akatsuki, was waiting for it! Dat "Ah~" and Akatsuki's reaction on it plus Akira being Akira-sama xD Dat flashback! Alicia was so cute <3 Akira was really cool. "For aqua's peace... this is the best!" "I am not here for aqua, Aqua is here for me!" LOL Pfft, Akatsuki is so dense. "You were my bro back then?!" "I was e-e-e-e-e-entranced by you." LMAO. This dude is awesome, he deserves more popularity and screen-time. Akari's monologues were beautiful yet sad. Akira reassuring her was really nice. One of the best episodes of this season, that's for sure. |
 |
| Aww That was a wonderful & sweet episode xD Akira is way to cool, I guess it won't be surprising if there are many girl fans |
"Signature removed"   |
| nice backstory episode |
 |
| The best episode from this season. Akira was great again, a real tomboy. |
 |
| Really great episode and I loved the flashback. Akira is best girl <3 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Loved that ending sequence,I'm a massive sucker for endings like that that show all the characters that appeared throughout the series and considering how emotionally moving Aria is as a whole this ended up being the second time I was brought to tears by this season. |
