I love you, Aria.

..too bad I can't say that for everyone.
Aria has in fact been perhaps the most polarizing show I've ever watched. You really either love it.. or hate it to th point that you'd rather claw your eyes out with rusty, jagged forks.

..You people are totally missing out.

Secondly, I think this show is probably in second place for most rampant yuri vibes this season after Mai Otome (which is totally yuri overkill). That's right -- I even think it beats out Nanoha.
However, much like in Mai Otome (and very reminiscent of Marimite), there's just so much of it bouncing in every direction, that I can't really see any potential "relationships" going anywhere. At least for the main character, anyway.
This isn't much of a problem for me, but as a shoujo-ai fan, it leaves me conflicted. And I'm sure it will turn a number of other shoujo-ai fans off completely.

In other news, why yes, this was a beach episode. An Aria beach episode, that is. The fanservice wasn't very prevalent, but it was indeed there. However, what there was a lot of was girls holding hands and being cute. On that note, Alice's 'ochimasu' was the best part of the episode. Screw Akari and her ribbon.


...no, I take that back. Akari ftw.
