(L) Aria the Origination

[fict_ticious]

Well, I managed to find someone willing to buy the special edition copy for me.
In the meantime:

Seeing the four gondola on the water really stirs up my soul.


EDIT: The Origination 05.5....

Spoiler:

Geh, no marriage to the sea. I'm in despair.

just skimmed through ep 5.5 and noticed an akatsuki x akari shipping by the staff...
also i noticed a minor animation mistake...

Spoiler for before:

Spoiler for a few seconds later:

notice the appearance of the thermos... during this time akari was talking to aria-sachou and she didn't attempt to put back on the thermos...

Episode 5.5, loosely based on the manga.

Spoiler:

Although we didn't get the story we expected, I absolutely loved it because...

The accuracy of the scenery is shockingly good. A lot of it was based around the East Castello area of Venice which is my favourate area. From the parks, to the alleyways and the laundry, it was as if I was back there again.

I wonder how much they paid the Basilica de San Marco to draw it as no pictures are allowed in there. The secret spot and the double sideburn pull is straight from the manga. I don't recall Aika/Alice eavesdropping though.

Wow...another episode of Aria

so is this a brand new story outside the others origination or just a recap?
please do tell cause it's killing me already ...

[Solais]

It's a non-aired episode of the Origination, between ep 5 and 6.

So, Freedom, you gonna make a comparison from this episode too, right?

I think it's too spoilery at this point, but it's in my mind.

Here for a short summary of EP 5.5 :

Anyone can post this episode title, please.

その　ちょっぴり秘密の場所に・・・

"At that secret little place..." sounds a little weird, but it's the best I can come up with.

[Solais]

Ok, I watched it, without translation. First, I realized that I didn't really need translation, I almost understand everything, I just felt everything. Second, the art was great. It's almost like ep 11 or the OVA. I also liked that it showed another part of the city, what I don't know. Third, the episode was as great as the other Aria episodes. And, that's all.
It would be great if there would be another extra episode like this.

So you're the one who wrote that Cait Sith wanted to kill Akari? Because I feel it wrong.

Lol wut.

Well, given the context, the train is supposed to lead to the "other world" (poor cats). Although in Kenji miyazawa thingy, the one kid didn't end up dead.

I just wasted 2 hours of my life and did a mass-update of the episode summaries and filled up all the missing episodes as well as making a fair bit of corrections. I'm going by the Japanese dialogue and I always see inaccuracies in anything other than that anyway! I've marked some episodes as manga-adapted without a Navigation. This is because I only read those chapters quickly at Book Off.

As for the Cait Sith, the railway is literally translated as the "Galaxy Railway" which is actually a manga/anime which I have not watched. There is a photo of a conductor in the wiki section of "Galaxy Express 999" and Cait Sith is wearing an identical uniform so I'd rather take that route of interpretation simply as an intergalactical railway, rather than the railway to death.

Also from what I see in Navigation 53 of the manga, I feel Cait Sith is hardly the killing type and death simply does not fit with the flow ARIA in the first place. This is indeed highly controversial!

Edit: After some more digging up it seems the person who added the "killing" comment linked Amano Kozue's interest in Harry Potter. Apparently, Harry Potter's last book featured an afterlife express and the author of the "killing" comment thought this was a link. I have to bust this myth because Deathly Hallows hit the shelves on 21st July 2007 while the Natural aired in 2006.

I saw the subbed 5.5

I still don't know who is the craziest Akari or Aria-sachou

Fun ep with some Akatsuki + Akari moments.

[Tabris]

I still be waiting to watch episode 5 ;~;

My God, another one. I love these. Because I love Venice very much.

[X10A_Freedom]

Lol! Another one, and someone more "hardcore" than I am in the way he took his photos in the exact same angles.

"Recolving doors"...'tis the Danielli Hotel and to spoil it before he hits day 3, he's found Himeya indeed and I do have pictures of that place!

Now I'm really excited! I can't wait for the next update!

...Why I feel like I'm being spoiled?
