All of them.

Most memorable episode, for me, was when Alice got promoted straight to Prima. Made me a little jealous of how successful she was, actually.

My favourite episode was the one where Aika overheard people badmouthing Akira and made a huge drama out of it. Emotional rollercoaster.

>>135345981

Episode 10 of season 1 when the Primas are all together, and the 3 trainees learn that the Primas used to all be friends and in a similar situation to themselves. Then the girls realize that one day they'll be in a similar situation where they won't be able to see each other all the time, and while walking back Akari starts to get sad and cries to them across the bridge.

Then Alicia's graduation and the last episode.

>>135345981
Aika and Al stuck in a well.

Aria is boring shit and I dropped it

Anyone else hesitant to watch Aria the Avvenire because TYO ruined Yuru Yuri s3 and you don't want them to ruin your image of Aria?

>>135346419

Sounds like they did a good job, though, based on the people that have already seen it.

Where are our subs? Is a raw even out?

>>135346486

Same.

>>135346419
This is quite baseless, really, considering that it's still the same staff on Avvenire as on the precious Arias.

I read the manga but didn't watch the anime. What exactly does the anime cover, and is it in order? Are there anime-original episodes as well?

i really like the episode with Alice and Alicia talking about why she always stays calm. the SOL thread reminded me of it so i just had to watch it

second is the one with the bridge

None of them hit me as hard as Alicia's promotion I'm still saving the last two episodes but my favorite moment has to be Alicia and Ai singing and following Cait Sith.

>>135346586
>>135346486
Is any group working on English subs?

Avvenir subbed when ?

Also best episode is promotion episode.

BD raws never?

The letter one is what got me hooked

I can't really remember individual episodes, so I'll just pick "episodes where Alice shone". Or that first season one where Akari went back in time to when they first flooded the water in the canals.

YY is different. That show was created by Dogokabo, which did a far better job handling its particular brand of humour.
But Aria was made by Hal Film Maker - the direct predecessor of TYO.
And the raws for Avvenire part 1 look beautiful.

The one where they find the box thay gets them started on a sort of treasure hunt always stood out to me. I love stuff like that.

>>135345981
Animation Episode 3
Origination Episode 7

One has the greatest animation in its season, and one has the greatest direction and writing in its season.

Natural episode 5 for me.
A two-parter with a wonderful first part (the scenes in the temple with the fox deity and the procession of gods) - and an even better second part, that's magical in a different way: it's the most perfect illustration of serendipity in anime ever.

Alternatively, all the Cait Sith episodes. I'm so happy they finally will animate the final Caith Sith manga chapter for Avvenire - it's omission in the original anime was one of its biggest faults.

>>135346278

Fucking this.

Alice playing the game with shadows and Athena trying to help her.

Or an episode where Aika's hair got burnt.

Or an episode about a maze in an abandoned factory.

Every goddamn episode is great.

Aria could have been simply the best iyashikei show of all time, and that would have been enough to make it great. But then it goes and ends on a bitter sweet note like that and makes you really feel the fleeting nature of life. It's really too good.

Somewhat related, is everyone her excited for Amanchu this summer?

But that's exactly what Iyashikei means. Becoming aware of the transience of life and nature - and getting to terms with that. Mono no aware. Without this element of sweet melancholy, it would just be a regular slice-of-life anime.
People call everything Iyashikei these days, even stuff like K-On! - but the only recent shows that qualify are NNB and Tamayura, imo.

You speak the truth, but I thought iyashikei just meant "healing". Guess I should have looked it up. The concept of mono no aware I have felt to strongly in some japanese works but I never knew it was a thing, that's brilliant. Thanks.

Please guys, stop comparing NNB with Aria.

Alice getting promoted is by far my favorite, but there are a couple of others too.


The one with Akari's goodbye to her gondola (it reminded me of something that happened to me in my childhood and the emotional impact of the episode was even greater).

The episode with Alice's self-imposed rules.

The one where they are trying to enter the realm of the cats.

And basically all of the last couple of episodes, I cried. A lot.

>>135360564
The reason its so good is because all 3 seasons build up to that point, in terms of getting to know the characters, and the theme of them practicing and growing to achieve their goal. I think it's the emotional climax of the series even if the other episodes are the end.

Alice's graduation was too much for me to handle. I generally dislike maru sues mary suing, but Alice getting past both Aika and Akari like that hurt me a bit.

Aria of course. I never get any input so I had to resort to Mary Sue. She was introduced as one, but she definitely needed some work on everything else that wasn't rowing. She trained hard like the other two and eventually overcame her faults.

Is it wrong that I think that Natsume Yuujinchou is better than Aria?

The headless ghost lady was one of the spookier episodes of anime I've ever seen. For that reason it's my favorite. I think too often horror as a genre fails because we expect certain things out of it. Truly creepy urban legends involve things happening to people who are living their lives and stumbling into mysterious and ambiguous things, just as we experienced it in the midst of a gentle slice of life.
