| 4:11pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 17 Commentary | | | | It’s good to see that palina in front of Aria Company. It brings memories of Akari’s efforts to give Aria Company its own palina. The opening theme caught me off guard, with “Undine” playing. It sounded familiar yet different. It’s nice to have a connection from one... | | |

| 2:37pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 16 Commentary | | | | With gondolas in mind this episode, I’m reminded that I read somewhere how the “oar” of a gondola is specific in design for the person who’ll be using it. This makes it unrealistic to have different people using it, as seen in scenes where the young Undines take turns in practice.... | | |
| 4:11pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 15 Commentary | | | | This episode seems to fit perfectly with Akari’s thoughts in the prior episode about how she’ll change over time. It’s nice to see an encounter between Akari and Akira, two often not seen together, even if only for a moment. Akatsuki and Akira’s interactions nice to see, as... | | |
| 4:11pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 14 Commentary | | | | Sometimes, it’s nice to go out early, when the world is still asleep, and the sun has yet to appear. Traveling, perhaps with no location planned, then watching as the sun comes up from a location you’ve never seen the sunrise, it’s something everyone should enjoy from time to time,... | | |
| 4:27pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 13 Commentary | | | | For every episode to open peacefully as the theme plays goes to show just what kind of series Aria is. I never really thought about it during the first season, but watching the kids following the cat really underscores it. This is a good episode because it shows Alice’s determination —... | | |
| 4:24pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 12 Commentary | | | | Akari picked the same chime I had my eye on. Definitely a good pick. I figured first thing that Cait Sith was the one sitting inside the café when Akari entered, but isn’t it a bit much with all that she’s seeing? Does Cait Sith want to introduce Akari to the world of cats that much?... | | |
| 4:20pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 11 Commentary | | | | No matter how much work a person puts into something, will a copy always be nothing more than a copy? Can a replica ever compare with the original it’s based on? Can the heart and soul of the maker of a copy capture what the original contained? Looking at it as a matter of tradition and history,... | | |
| 4:13pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 10 Commentary | | | | Watching the episode to this episode, I could almost hear Aika’s voice saying, “No being acquainted with everyone in town allowed!” This is a powerful episode for me. The way Akari goes around making friends so easily is really something to see. It’s a warm feeling to see everyone... | | |
| 7:00pm | Aria the Natural, Part 1 Anime Boxset (English) | | | | I need to say this first, because I am sick and tired of getting nasty emails, comments and blogposts from people who have no grip on reality. I DO NOT think that Aria is Yuri. Many other people who [[ This is a content summary only. Visit http://okazu.blogspot.com for full links, other content, and... | | |
| 7:00pm | Aria the Natural, Part 1 Anime Boxset (English) | | | | I need to say this first, because I am sick and tired of getting nasty emails, comments and blogposts from people who have no grip on reality. I DO NOT think that Aria is Yuri. Many other people who are not me do. I review Aria as Yuri because the *other* group of fans who have no grip on reality insist... | | |
| 4:06pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 9 Commentary | | | | Seeing a sky view of Neo-Venezia makes me wonder how much of the city’s paths were mapped out. Could I locate areas from prior episodes, and paths taken, on that sky-view map of the city seen at the start of the opening theme? No one would notice a lack of consistency on this level, I’m... | | |
| 4:02pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 8 Commentary | | | | Today is Festa Del Bòcolo, during the Acqua Alta–and yet nothing was heard of the festival during the previous Acqua Alta. My guess is that Acqua Alta and Festa Del Bòcolo are on different days (the former by solar and lunar events; the latter by specific calendar date), and they simply lined... | | |
| 3:59pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 7 Commentary | | | | Akari asks what one would do if they found an unfamiliar entrance on a street they always walk down. I know my answer. Time allowing, I’d definitely check it out. I’m always amazed when I find something I never noticed on a path very familiar to me. I like the focus on Akari putting on... | | |
