ARIA The NATURAL 5
April 30th, 2006 by Gunlex





This week’s episode consists of two unrelated vignettes. I think this is the first time where we didn’t get to see any of the other main characters besides Akari and Alicia for an entire episode. The first story includes the series’ unique way of incorporating the supernatural so seamlessly. Then the second story shows us a light hiking trip. If any other series had tried to use these stories I think they would have failed miserably. I don’t think there are any other series with uneventful plots that can be so relaxing to watch, yet feel so entertaining at the same time. It would have been nice to see Akari and Alicia wear something different to add a bit more flavour considering they weren’t working.
