Yeah, I got teary-eyed too. Haven't heard Junichi Satou's name mentioned since the end of Umi Monogatari, but damn, maybe I should pay more attention. The OVAs are downloading right now.
At the same time, I expect the emotional impact will die down and we'll end up with a warm relaxing series. Doesn't seem like the OVA watchers took as much of a beating from this episode.
You can only get so far with pure fluff for a story. I never made it all the way through Aria, myself, for one thing (maybe it was a bad idea to try to marathon it). For the moment, though, Tamayura has jumped straight up my (admittedly short) list for the top Fall 2011 show of this season.
