ARIA The Natural
Episode 22: 「その　不思議の国のアリア…」「その　懐かしい想い出は…」

Two separate story adapted from Special Navigation vol 6 & 7.

Part A
Akari chat with Aria sachou and asked it what would happen if she was not an undine. She also mentioned parallel world to Aria sachou and Aria sachou imagined itself in different worlds where it was the hero. Akari joked that the staircase might be the entrance to parallel worlds and Aria sachou believed her. She went for her practice and Aria sachou squeezed itself into the stair steps. It later bumped into the wall.

Akari came by but Aria sachou noticed that Akari had become a boy! She carried Aria sachou to the town and met up with Alice. Alice and Aika became boys while Al and Akatsuki ebcame girls. They had tea together but Aria sachou couldnt stand the world and ran away. Aria sachou got back Aria company and tried to squeeze back through the stairs. Alicia approached it and Aria sachou saw Alicia, Akira and Atena as boys. Alicia picked up Aria sachou and lifted it up in the sky because Aria sachou like it. Woody came by and brought Aria sachou up in the air and threw it up. "She" missed Aria sachou and it fell flat on the balcony. Alcia asked if it was ok and Aria sachou gradually heard the female voice of Alicia. It opened its eyes and realized it's back in its world. Aria sachou quickly hugged onto Alicia.


Part B
Akatsuki brother enjoyed Alicia's service and complimented her. He then asked if they want to listen to Akatsuki childhood story. (The young Akatsuki brother looked like the character for Roman club manga). Akatsuki thought he was an android when he was small. When his brother and he got home, they realized that their mother was not at home. Akatsuki got worried and wondered if the alien had kidnapped her. His mother later came back and gave him an ice-cream. Akatsuki went into the kitchen and asked her mother if she was real. He asked his mother about himself and she replied Akatsuki was an android. Akatsuki brother wanted to teased him and laughed with evil intention. Akatsuki got afraid and ran away.

Akatsuki ran to Woody's house but was terrified by his chocolated ice-cream smudged face. He went and hide in an alley. His mother found him and brought his cape. She put it on him and comforted him. Back in present time, Akatsuki brother taught Aria sachou his brother's special pose. Later in the afternoon, Akatsuki encountered Akari and Alicia who were in their gondola. He saw Aria sachou with his childhood pose and was shocked. Akari told him that his brother had told them his childhood and taught Aria sachou the pose. Akatsuki was stunned.

P/S:I'm not a fan of akatsuki but it was better than the first half. First half was annoying as I watched it. Next episode, looks like an episode with original storyline.

Episode 21: 「その　銀河鉄道の夜に…」

An episode adapted from Navigation 30 in volume 6.

Akari heard slight sound of train every night lately. She thought if its the milky railway. The next day she told Aika and Alice about it. Aika commented that Akari always encounter strange things. Akari has been pondering about the milky train and Aria sachou noticed it. At night, Aria sachou gave her a ticket with Cait Sith stamp. It was the train ticket for a day trip to Milky way departing at 2am. Akari seeked advice from Aika and Alice the next day whether she should go.

She also went to calle tram alley and said that it did look like the station in the story book. In the evening Akari talked with Alicia. Alicia said that Akari had always want to know more about Aqua and maybe Aqua would like to know more about Akari too. At night Akari decided to go. They waited at the designated place and the train arrived at 2am. There were many cats waiting for the train. The train master came down and stamped the tickets. A kitten lost its ticket and was not allowed to board the train with its parents. Akari sympathized with it and gave hers to the kitten. The huge size train master approached them. Akari asked if its Cait Sith and thanked it for saving and giving her the ticket. It again touched Akari face and Akari realized that Cait Sith could be the heart of AQUA. Suddenly, the train master gave them a stamp on their forehead.

The train left and the train master later took off its hat, revealing Cait Sith. The next day, Akari saw the stamps on Aria sachou and her forehead and realized it wasnt a dream.

Episode 20: 「その 影のない招くものは…」

An episode adapted from Navigation 38 in volume 8.

Aria sachou was sick and stayed at home so Akari went to her usual practice with Alice and Aika. She noticed a woman in black mourning gown sitting by the river while waiting. Aika came and they waited on the gondola. It was a hot day and Alice was late. Aika told a scary story and said that it will cool them down. Aika said that the executed woman in her story would ask the undine to bring her to her destination. Aika added that one cannot take her because the undine would disappear.

After practice, it was evening and Akari went to buy Aria sachou's favourite food. It was late and Akari was on the home. She passed by the same place and saw the woman in black. The woman called her and went on her gondola. Akari told her that she still a single-rank undine and cannot take a customer on her own. However, she decided to help her by treating her as a friend later. They reached the destination and the woman thanked her. Akari was going to leave but the woman grasp her hand. She then pulled Akari away and kept running until they reached a cemetery. She said that she liked Akari and would like to be with her. Akari looked at her face and realized that her face disappeared. Akari was stunned. Suddenly, Cait Sith appeared from behind. The headless woman ran away.

Akari thanked Cait Sith for saving her life and Cait Sith touched her face with its big palm. The tender and soft hand caused the exhausted Akari to fell asleep in its embrace. When Akari woke up, she found herself back home. Aria sachou was so happy that she's back. Alicia had gone to search for her and was glad when she saw Akari back home. Akari told Alicia what had happened and also to Alice and Aika the next day.

Episode 19: 「ああっ女神の愛はシノビを救うっ」

Episode 19 reverts back to chapter 52 in volume 8..... Mara created a chibi Ninja called Kodama and instructed her to cause chaos at Morisato residence. Belldandy and Keiichi was repairing a computer he picked from trash. Both of them reached out and held each other hand. Keiichi joked that it was like a scene in anime. They laughed and looked at each other. Skuld threw in a bomb when Belldandy and Keiichi nearly kissed each other.

Keiichi had a nap and woke up finding Kodama disguised as a sexy woman (not really..). Belldandy came in and Kodama said she had sex with Keiichi. Keiichi denied and Belldandy believed him. Kodama was shocked and asked Belldandy. Belldandy said that she promised to trust Keiichi from the first day she made the contract with him. Kodama later exposed her identity and she ignited a bomb. Belldandy shielded them from the bomb. She used her authority and commanded Kodama to treasure her own life. Kodama then stayed at Morisato residence. Mara later sent another ninja, Hikari to hunt Kodama. Belldandy spotted her in the mail box and greeted her. We learnt that these chibi ninja were originally rats. Kodama and Hikari attacked each other. Belldandy stopped them and they succumbed to Belldandy.

The next day, Urd and Skuld lost to Hikari and Kodama in fighting for the television. Hikari tried to take Kodama's life at night but couldnt bear to. A new ninja, Senrigan approached them and called many chibi ninjas with her clarinet. Urd and Skuld were held down by those ninjas. Keiichi nearly suffocated and Belldandy casted the most powerful purification spell to protect Keiichi. Urd ran to Belldandy and saw her asleep while embracing Keiichi. After the advice from Urd, the ninjas send a resignation note to Mara. The following day, Belldandy received a letter from kami. She was suspended for using her sealed power.

P/S: Instead of Belldandy forgetting to renew her license. The anime depicted Belldandy was suspended for using her sealed power. This makes it possible to jump to next week episode from chapter 105 of volume 18, "Wide, Wider, Widest". Hope they make an arc for Schrodinger’s Whale.

Episode 19: 「その 泣き虫さんったら・・・」「その 乙女心ってば・・・」

The first part of the episode depicted the special chapter in Aqua volume 2. Aika had a cold and had to rest at home. A few days later she was so boring that she escaped to the town for a walk and enjoyed her custard pudding. She saw Akari and Alice practising by themselves. She was shocked and ran back home, crying in her room. Akari and Alice went to visit Aika at Himeya dormitory. Aika was crying and she blamed it on the pudding. She explained that she felt lonely and thus sad. She asked them to go home. Alice told her that they have brought her puddings and asked if she wanted to eat them together. Aika agreed and they spent the time together eating the pudding.

Part, 2 illustrated Navigation 35. Aika put on her new hair pin but she felt something was missing the whole day. No matter how Akari, Alice and Alicia praised her and her hair pin, she wasnt herself. She later told Akari and Alice that she hasnt met Al since she cut her hair. Akari and Alice told her to visit Al. She went to visit Al but he was out having his dinner. His mentor said that Al would be back for the late shift. Aika waited for Al and Al praised her hair sytle when he saw her. Aika became happy immediately. Al added that the hair pin was pretty and matched her very well. Aika was overjoyed.

P/S: I guess it's obvious that Aika likes Al. ^o^

Episode 18: 「ああっ魔属の威信はありますかっ？」

Mara worked diligently in a bento shop. She then wondered why's she doing so since she was a first class demon. Back at her hideout, she asked her minions about it. They said that Mara's plan kept failing. Kid Hild appeared beside her and Mara was terrified. Kid Hild agitated Mara and Mara determined to show her capability.

At Keiichi home, Mara tried to use the magic urn on Belldandy but it didnt have any effect since there's no dual characters to extract. Belldandy later invited her to steamboat (nabe). Back at her hideout, Mara told Hild about a magic lamp. But there a loophole so Hild helped her out. Hild casted magic on the lamp so that people would see the urn as their utmost desired objects. Skuld, Urd, Megumi, Ootaki, Tamiya and Chihiro kissed their desired objects and was sucked into the lamp. Belldandy didnt see an illusion and she thought it was a lamp given by her sister. She used hot water to clean it and everyone reappeared. She casted her magic to remove the illusions. Back home, the minions played street figther with Mara in it. Hild was interested in Belldandy.

P/S: Next week, they revert back to kodoma, the ninjas arc...what are they doing????

Akira organized a barbeque. Akari and Alice reached the BBQ venue first. Alicia and Atena came after finishing their work. Akira and Alice were dancing and singing a meat song, Atena joined them.

Few days later, they had BBQ again. Aika appeared in a short hair and she felt comfortable with her new look. Aika smiled to Akira in recognition for her care and effort.



P/S: The short hair Aika looks very much like the young Akira

Episode 17: 「ああっ大魔界長さまっ降臨っ」

Urd has dual personality and the evil side is slowly losing her memory. Mara was unable to track down the source of the urn because it was mixed. Probably Hild's doing. Mara said that only people who's power above 1st class goddess can help, either god or demon lord. The evil side was losing her memory and decided to disappear but she wanted to seek opinion of someone. Belldandy, Skuld and Mara all didnt want the other side of Urd to disappear. Keiichi asked if they can ask god to help but if god meddle then he will make Urd 100% goddess.

Urd appeared and said that they have decided to contact daimakaicho Hild. The evil urd called Hild and she said she'd be right there. Hild was Urd mother. She appeared in a bolt of lighting and tornado. She went to hug Urd and then Belldandy and Skuld. Keiichi asked about Hild's power and Belldandy said that all those bands and rings on her are to seal her powers. In the house, they told Hild the details. Hild requested something in return for the favour. Skuld argued but was terrified by her stern look. Urd agreed as long as Hild wouldnt ask her to betray her as a goddess. Keiichi accidentally provoked Hild and she cast a spade shape spell. Belldandy countered it with her love shaped spell to protect him. Everyone was terrified.

They proceeded witht the merging speel. Hild easily casted the strong magic. She asked Urd to help with singing the 512 verses. Urd revealed her goddess robe, though only half side. Belldandy and Skuld changed into goddess robe and join in singing the goddess part. A nice blend of suspense and angelic song. Urd returned to her old self. Hild asked Urd to call her mum but she rejected. She said that she cannot love her mother otherwise her soul would be control by the evil side. Hild gave up and then hug her and said that she inherit her behaviour. She nearly said mum but changed. They fight with bolts of lightning. Hild left.

P/S:One of the most entertaining episode in this season. Funny reactions from Hild and Urd. Also quite a lot of the close-in-shots were done with excellence.Next week. Hild prepared old lamp and cause Belldandy to be too passionate.

Episode 17: 「その　雨降る夜が明ければ・・・」

Akari, Alicia and Aria sachou had their farewell dinner on the gondola. Alicia told Akari about her memory with the gondola. She told Akari that her first row was with the gondola and how she made a scratch on the right hand side of the gondola during practice. The episode then showed Alicia and Akari mantaining the gondola when they were still double. See screenshots below. Later, the Atena & Alice and Aika & Akira came and joined them. They looked at the photos Akari had taken. Atena saw the photo the 3 young undines and said they had also taken a photo like that. Alicia took out the photo of the three water fairy when they were young. We also learnt that Alicia was first to be an official undine and changed to the white gondola among them.

Later everyone bid farewell to the gondola and went home. Akari decided to stay with the gondola for bit longer. Aria sachou brought an umbrella since it started to rain. Akari hug and reminisced her time with the gondola. She cried and thanked the gondola. She then fell asleep and the old man (spirit of gondola) appeared and shaded Akari with the umbrella. The next day the gondola was taken away. The new one arrived after a few days. Akari row the gondola with Alicia and Aria sachou in it. On the way home, Akari saw their old gondola, now used by an old man.



1&2: Alicia, Atena and Akira as single undines.
3,4&5: Alicia and Akari doing the similar tasks.

P/S:The animation during the night (6.00-8.30 mins)is very disappointing... Aika short hair next week!!!

Episode 16: 「ああっ闇を恐れず輝いてっ」

Continued from last episode, Belldandy ran to the backyard feeling shattered and Urd tried to seal her. Skuld made it in time and prevent it. Both the good and evil Urd confronted each other while the others were stunned. Belldandy realized that they cannot kill each other but she was unable to tell Urd because it's confidential. The evil Urd tried to fool them but Skuld made a mark on the good Urd. After a battle among the Urds, the evil Urd escaped because she couldnt handle the power with the clone body. Mara later appeared and requested them to help Urd as she didnt want Urd to die either. Skuld asked Mara for the separation algorithm so that she could reverse the algorithm.

The desperate evil Urd was seeking the good Urd but the good Urd approached her. They battled each other and the good Urd was hit. She fell from the sky but Belldandy caught her with her magic. Skuld told them about her plan. After some delibrate traps, they fooled the evil Urd and caught her. With Skuld device, Urds merged and return to her old self. Not quite..Urd have double personality.. since there was something wrong with the algorithm that Mara gave them.

P/S:One thing I like is to see how supportive both Belldandy and Skuld are to Urd. The reunion bit is touching. Hild appearance next week!!!

He requested Akari to bring him around. Later, she awaken and thought it was a dream. She reached home, Alicia was waiting for her, Akari thanked her for the day. The gondola would be taken away the next day.

P/S:New ED theme this week. Next episode will focus on Alicia and finish to the old gondola arc. In addition, we'll get to see Alicia when she's still a double. But the animation for episode 17 is very disappointing...

Episode 14: 「ああっ愛しき私のキューピットっ」

Sentaro saw Belldandy with Holy bell and asked Skuld if she had an angel. Skuld promised to let him see her angel the next day. Skuld then tried very hard to release her angel. She later swallowed the egg and fainted. Urd suggested enlosing the angel since Skuld wasnt able to control it. Belldandy and Urd tried to enclose the egg before it obtain its physical being but the angel has surfaced. Noble scarlet was very small compared to Holy Bell and World of Elegance(Had a big laugh when I saw this scene).

The next day, Skuld showed Noble scarlet to Sentaro but Noble scarlet messed up many things. At sunset, Sentaro invited Skuld to watch his race the next day. Noble scarlet pushed Skuld and she accidentally kissed Sentaro's cheek. Skuld was furious with Noble scartlet since she though Sentaro would hate her for what she had done. She wished Noble scarlet would return to her egg. Belldandy had a talk with Noble scarlet and told her that Skuld did not really hate her.

The next day, Noble scarlet brought the ice-cream Keiichi that had bought to Skuld. Skuld wasnt angry with her anymore. Noble scarlet tagged Skuld shirt and wanted her to go to Sentaro race. Sentaro had a small accident and fell down. Skuld made it in time and encouraged him. He won the race. Noble scarlet again shifted Skuld to the front and she had a conversation with Sentaro. After seeing the happy Skuld and Sentaro, Noble scarlet disappeared. Later Belldandy and Urd appeared and told her that Noble scarlet had returned to her egg. Skuld cried but Belldandy comforted her. The next day, Sentaro asked Noble Scarlet's whereabout. Skuld said that she wont be back soon but she would returned when Skuld's mature enough to handle her.

P/S: This episode was rather disappointing for me because of certain poorly animated scenes. Surprise to see that Sentaro was exposed to the secret of goddess besides Keiichi. Next week, Mara will appear.

Episode 11: 「ああっその手で夢をつかまえてっ」

Ootaki and Tamiya received a letter from Chihiro. They both quickly packed and went hiding. Keiichi was building a small motorbike with other club members at the club house. Chihiro approached the club house and shouted for Tamiya and Ootaki. She was told that they were away. Chihiro saw Keiichi's bike and fancied it. Chihiro said that she would also build one and challenged him to a race. The race was scheduled one week later. Before she left, she introduced herself to them. They were shocked to learn that Chihiro was the founding president of their club. Hasegawa later read a magazine of the club and learnt of Chihiro's achievements.

On a particular day, Chihiro asked her colleagues to change certian parts for a race as requested by the sponsor. She was stressed due to sponsor-budget-victory issues. Belldandy appraoched Chihiro and encouraged her. Chihiro asked if Belldandy like Keiichi. Belldandy admitted happily.

Chihiro found Ootaki and Tamiya at one of their hide-outs. She praised them for recruiting Keiichi but she would deal with them later regarding the modification of the motor club vehicle.
The day of the race came. Keiichi maintained constant speed to avoid over-heating. Chihiro sped and over-heated but she brought a spare. Chihiro won in the end. Chihiro's passion for motoring has revived. Few days later, the motor club received another letter from Chihiro stating that she would quit her job to fulfil her passion for motoring. Episode ended with Chihiro in an interview with a company.

My thoughts:

I like the part where Belldandy admitted that she love Keiichi happily. Finally, she courageously & happily admitted to other on her love for Keiichi after last week's episode. Troubadour & Urd arc next week. Should be funny.

Episode 11: 「その 大切な輝きに…」

Akatsuki referred Akari to his brother. His brother requested Akari to help in transporting some glasswares. She was happy because it was her first designated request. She asked Alicia if she could go with her and Alicia happily agreed.

The next day, they reached the place 10 minutes earlier and visited a glassware shop. Akari heard a tourist saying that the glassware was inferior since Neo Venezia was copying Venice. Later, they reached the glass-manufacturing factory. A trainee took away the box of glassware from Akari and said that those were efforts of his seniors. Akari tried to start conversation with the trainee during the transportation. They later stopped for tea time. As they were departing, a guy in another boat dozed off and nearly rammed into them. Akari pushed the gondola away and prevented the collision. She remarked she's still a trainee.

The trainee told Akari and Alicia that people do not appreciate his seniors works and treat them inferior to those of Venice. This made him disappointed. Akari encouraged him and said that she believed there's no replica in real sense. Places and buildings may look similar but the process of building them was different. The lives, memories and values in Neo Venezia are also different. The importance is to like Neo Venezia and cherish the experience. They reached the destination on time and Akatsuki brother thanked them. The trainee said that he felt Akari was an outstanding undine.

Episode 10: 「ああっそのひとことが言えなくてっ」

Peorth fed Keiichi in front of Belldandy. later, Urd warned Keiichi of Belldandy jealousy. Keiichi approached Peorth and Pshe asked him for his wish again. She hinted him on his real desire. He wished for Peorth to fulfil his desire. (I think he was actually refering to that type of wish rather than wishing for it). Peorth sent the request for validation and was granted.

Peorth then tried to serve his desire but Keiichi ran away. He dragged Belldandy and escaped. Peorth chased after them with a bicycle but Belldandy reduced the bike to children bike. They went and hid at the motor club house. Urd told Peorth their whereabouts. She wanted Belldandy to discover a certain matter. Inside club house, Belldandy asked about his wish and Peorth. Peorth soon found them and she remarked that Belldandy didnt fulfil Keiichi's need. Belldandy was stunned and walked out. She whispered that it wasnt because of contract...

Keiichi then spoke out to Belldandy. (Surprise to see that Belldandy can hear him since he was far into the room and she was outside). He said that he might have those desire somewhere in his heart and this could cause him to reach Peorth. But it was because he love her. Because he wanted to be with her forever. Belldandy was touched and ran into the room. She confessed that she has alway love him. (She said "watashi wa keiichi san o aishiteimasu", rather than "dai suki", aishiteru is more powerful than dai suki which mean like very much). She even repeated "aishiteimasu". Peorth called Yydragsil and reported that she had finished her job. Belldandy reliazed that Peorth deliberately wanted her to confess. Peorth then bid farewell to them. Urd was hiding at the side and thanked her for her help. Skuld reliazed that all her "Dobon", "Runner" and other magazines were taken by Peorth.

Chihiro will appear next week. Then should follow by Troubadour arc, Sentaro and Noble scarlet arc and lastly Hild arc.

The second was the "hit-the-mole" game and Belldandy couldnt bear hitting the fish. The last was the meteor-target challenge. Whoever hit the target first with meteor wins. Belldandy withdrawed from the match and shielded Keiichi from the meteor impact. Peorth said she was disgusted by her hipocrisy. Peorth asked why Belldandy reported their last task as a joint effort since she has passed out. Belldandy explained that the she was able to track and eliminate the bug because it entered Peorth body. Therefore it was a joint effort. Peorth finally reliazed it but she was bushed. Keiichi carried her home. Although her wishes was not fulfil, at least her wish of having a sunset stroll with Keiichi was fulfilled. Peorth later thanked Belldandy.

I really like the background and setting for Aria. The picturesque and arts were excellent. Since, season 1, I havent seen any deformation in characters, apart from deliberate deformed expression. And the director and crew actually tour Venice for inspiration.
