Some pretty big things happened in the series during my trip. Akari says farewell to her old gondola and Aika gets a brand new hairstyle. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m a big fan of Aika’s new hairstyle. I have to agree with Aika, it really does make her look more mature. As for this episode, it’s yet another episode involving the supernatural. Except this time they attempted a horror theme. Personally I don’t think it fit the series at all. I felt like it somewhat tarnished my image of a utopian setting. Nevertheless, I still had a good time watching this episode. On one hand I think it’s nice that they’re trying to branch out a bit. On the other hand, this series never had any real need to diverge from the usual formula in the first place. Hopefully the rest of the series will stick with what works.

I happened to come across two posters in Akihabara which I found to be suitable for this review as well as the previous one. Click on the photo to view a larger version.
