ARIA The Origination 13
Having qualified as a Meister, the Galatica Aquamarine Akari Mizunashi takes over as Otome of the Aria Kingdom from the Snow White Alicia Carroll who gets kicked upstairs to the Gondola Association and definitively gives up her OAR by getting married. (I wish the last part was an April Fool's joke but it's not. It's not! T_T)

The end is nigh! But this Easter, always look on the bright side of life~~

First part dealt with Akira finding out Aika's true feelings about Alice's double promotion. Second part was the strain starting to show on the Orange Princess.
BTW I thought that 'Gachapen' should have gone on the list of possible Prima titles for Aika that Akira was drafting. 'Selfish Princess' and 'Crybaby (something)' were great, on the other hand, Otome Princess and Rozen Queen make me think of other series...

Aika x Al is one of those things that disrupts my yuri waterland fantasy image of ARIA but it's done well and so artfully that I'm genuinely torn between pulling my hair out and screaming 'NOOOOOEEESSSS!' like the Alicia x Akira shippers in Arietta on the one hand and going 'Awww~~' on the other. On balance, Aika's 'Don't worry, Oneesan will keep you company!' line tilted the balance in favour of the latter. Aika-san, good job!
Other bits of fun included Aika robot versus Alice zombie, 'I can eat more dango at a time than you', President Maa acrobatics and The Moons Represent Our Hearts (apologies to Teresa Teng).
ARIA The Origination 9
The Alice apotheosis episode. I was chuckling at how her fangirl asked for her second button; isn't that a confession of love? Perhaps yuri isn't as big a deal on Aqua as in Japan.
