THAT Animeblog

I know i am focusing on the wrong thing but Alice in swimsuit is so cute! I can’t wait for the wonderful episode 13, set to be a Alice-centric episode. Oh god, maybe i should watch it before I have my 1 week break due to coming mid-terms. She also looks rather hot. No, i am not having an old’s man fetish. It’s true, i ain’t!

This episode contains two mini-episodes. One was the venture to the mysterious world of the cats and the second part was a meaningful festival revolving around the nightshine charm. The first part of the episode was probably something that I did not really enjoy, as it was just mystery. The second part was beautiful. It almost felt like thanksgiving, except that it was a much more beautiful ceremony. I really thought that feeling captured the essence of giving thanks to everything that had worked for you.

I have to retrace my words that I think that Akari is annoying. She is starting to really be awfully cool now for some reason, because I can feel that easiness of her being rather appealing now. Strange huh? The fact that she talks about loving and having something for what it is, and not that it should be. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder and there is no such thing as a “fake”.

Even if it seems to be made the same way, the interaction and life of everything surrounding it is different. It is the same with places. Construction and architecture is dead. However, it is the people that lived in a place…

That is the difference…People make the difference of places. They bring experiences…

I have been in fact delaying my watching of Aria the natural because I realise that I am close to reaching episode 13 that crystalnova has just fansubbed. Hence, if I hit that episode, I will have Aria withdrawal symptoms. This is why I haven’t blogged about Aria in ages but I could not resist anymore!

Episode summary as usual…

Akari can be cute sometimes, especially when you see her from the eyes of Alice and Aika. This is a really strange episode, as you see Akari through the prespective of the two gals who were following her every move. I must say that this is a really interesting take on Aria, and I am continously amazed how they can make this episode as beautiful as it is.

Alicia is so cute, no matter whether she’s older or younger. She just has that quality in her that makes her just so angelic. Maybe it is that smile or simply her character that embodies that feeling in us. Aria really brings out the best in the character called Alicia. A pity she does not have green hair. Lol, but I guess that is also a reason why we have so many Alicia fanboys out there.

Finally back to Aria after rotation of series (have been crashing eyeshield 21 from episode 1-48, H & C first season and the likes). This episode is back to Akari and Alicia, where Akari was being the tourist guide, with Alicia as supervisor. There is a little bit of humor but the message this episode was very interesting. I will cover that and talk about my little experiences with the message that I gathered in this episode.

Aika is just so cute when she’s blushing. Of course, she can’t beat the lovely Alice when it comes to uber sweetness but she is definitely a very close second. I love this episode a lot because it was a beautiful adaptation of Valentine’s day. It really feels a lot of love in the air and we not only see the improving relationship between Athena and Alice, but also a small but significant romance factor in Aika and Al.

Al seems rather thick-skulled and oblivious to Aika’s interest in him though. It is really sad, poor Aika, liking such an insensitive guy. Still, you go, Aika!

It was the time of summer and Acqua Alta (the flooding) was here again, hence the Undines were taking a little break from their usual routine. Alicia was going to the Gondola Society meeting once again. With that, the day they called Bocolo was coming. A beautiful meeting awaited all the Undines.

The first series of Aria often did not bother about the supernatural aspect, but in Natural, I noticed that it had been rather persasive. We already had (including this) two episodes about the cats and I would say that it was definitely a little different. I found the change rather interesting, but it did not really affect my viewing since Aria was still a very feel-good anime to watch. It is just about the best anime to watch when you are feeling down, low, or simply want to have a good day to relax.

This episode concentrated on the lands of the cats and I quite enjoyed it, even though there was no real lesson learnt. It was just beautiful but I wished that there was a deeper meaning from this episode. In a way, there might be but it was too subtle until I was unable to capture. There were some thoughts still when I watched this though.

Without further ado, my summary + thoughts!

See, Alice is so beautiful!! Yes, i will follow you to your school and worship you completely! Ermm, I sound like a stalker.

OMG, THIS IS FINALLY IT!! I have reached the Alice-centric episode after the gnashing of teeth and the unscathed anger that I was unable to reach the holy land. To be honest, I realise that I cannot be objective with this episode as the whole story was all about Alice. In fact, I am putting this as my favorite episode ever. See the beauty! See the elegance! See what is called a true Undine beauty!

*man, i sound scary. I swear it is the symptons of being a greenophile
