    Revenge of the Caith Sith:

    Episode 7 - CrystalNova

    A very calm episode, as usual. Actually not a whole lot happened either, except for heavy gondoling (if you can use that as a verb). And some cat business once again. Not the strongest episode of Aria, for sure, but not bad either.

    However, I'm really looking forward to the next episode, because Akatsuki appeared in the preview.

    I just found out that the Natural is a 26 eps series. I don't think I'll be able to get the smile off my face.

    16 eps titles are already listed.

    Yes, indeed. Somebody mentioned it over at the CrystalNova forums some time ago. It's jolly good news indeed. Too bad CrystalNova is taking more than 3 weeks to release episodes... Somebody must be having a vacation, or something.

    You could always switch over to Hnk. Their quality is equal to CrystalNova, despite what anyone says. Only video encoding is lower. I think their translation is superior in terms of fitting the character image (specifically Alice). "Totally" instead of "really" is her key phrase, fitting better with her young and somewhat ditzy image. I'm saving the CrystalNova versions for archiving.

    I really loved eps 10 by the way. It was hilarious, and added a huge amount to Akari's character without ever really focusing on her. (Aika and Alice follow her through the city). My favorite so far of this season.

    Hmm... I watched ep 8 from HnK, and while the translation was pretty similar, like you said, the video quality was so much lower that it's indeed essential to archive CrystalNova. Well, having received my Aria fix now, I'll wait and see if CrystalNova decides to release 8 and 9 back to back. You never know...

    Edit: Episode 8 - CrystalNova

    10 was definitely one of my favorites this season. I really like how they were able to develope Akari's character without once actually making her the focus of the eps (besides, the whole...stalking thing). Aika's fear of the ferry and Alice mocking her for never riding one was great.

    Aye, episode 10 was great. I was disappointed with episode 8, so it was good ep 10 offered so much goodness.

    . . .

    The gondolas keep floating and the girls rowing:

    Episode 11 - CrystalNova
