I guess the chapter really isn't anything special, but I find it absolutely adorable. ^^;

Sorry for double post, but i didn't feel it was right to edit the post above me.
I just gotta say - episode 04 was so heartwarming! ^___________^ This episode was so simple, yet so amazing to watch - times like these i'm happy my Father's a postman.. ^^;; & the cute-ness of Akari just keeps getting better & better.. what with: She's wonderful! >.<

2nd season has animated a few manga chapters that i quite liked but i guess the manga is simply unmatched.
anime op/ed/ost + manga = ultimate pleasure : > i was particularly unhappy with the original material of ep 4. while it's far from horrible, it doesn't fit the aria vibe very well. while i dont think the postman chapter could be a standalone episode, it was best to leave it out to animate better manga chapters :/ |

Episode 4 was truly awesome. Taking the postman chapter from the manga, along with something from a 1998 Kozue Amano short story, it completely captured the feel of both stories combined into one episode. Junichi Sato is a true genius.

Yep. The characters from the 2nd part of episode 4 was from this manga volume:
http://ariacompany.net/books.html -> 天野こずえ短編集2【空の謳】Story was a little different, since it had Sora sending a letter off to a girl he liked but never had the chance to confess to her, and also the "sensei" was actually a magical post-woman with a nifty Sunflower as a broomstick to fly around and deliver letters in. I bought it in Taiwan and it was a very enjoyable read. It was nice seeing Kozue Amano's evolution of his artstyle.

Speaking about the items on the official site - would anybody know of a website that i could preorder the Aria company building model - i can tell it won't be out for a while.
Knowing my luck there won't be anywhere. ;_;

It was a shock to see two stories from the translated manga in episode 05 - but imo they're both two amazing stories that go well together.
For starters - who would have thought just seeing the train under the Sakura tree could bring a few tear to my eyes.. heartwarming over-load! >____<
