Wow, what a spread of food. It's a good thing rowing gondolas is hard work. :) I can't help notice that Aqua has a McDonald's as well, based on the fry packaging. <_<
Akari's casual wear looks good. She's barely recognizable with that baseball hat and her pigtails untied. :D
just read it... now, about those monthly undine (which, by the way, i totally support it if u wanna scanlate it) are you gonna do all of the mag or just the manga part??
The blandest chapter on vol. 11. I think it's the one chapter you should bring up on a discussion if you want to prove that nothing happens in slice-of-life works. BECAUSE NOTHING HAPPENS IN THIS CHAPTER.
Here's a list of how the chapter could be better, in order from best to worst option: - Replace Aria with Alicia; - Replace Aria with Alice and Aika; - Replace Aria with Akatsuki; - Replace Aria with anyone else; - Remove Aria's ridiculous outfit; - Don't write this chapter at all.
Judging from the 'ridiculous outfit' part, I'm guessing it's President Aria.
I actually think the Pokoteng cat is cute, but it's wearing weirder stuff each chapter. Speaks for Akari's sense of fashion? (since she's probably the one who dresses President Aria...)
Thanks for the awesome releases! This has been a really great week! :D
I think Aria's outfits come from a mix between Akari's and Alicia's fashion sense with a lot of input from Aria himself. Of course we know Aria is an avatar of one of Amano's cats and, in my opinion, might be a case of self-insertion. However my main disappointment with this chapter is that Amano has ideas for stories many levels better than what she used for this chapter, and it is definitely a chapter she should've avoided releasing on the endgame. We're almost on the last volume, and there's still some interesting stuff that didn't get animated, hopefully we'll be getting there soon.
I 've followed this seies since I found out how to read manga on the internet. It's been a long time. There was also a time when I thought the series would be dropped. Then you guys started to work on it... and until now, I have been waiting for evey chapters.
Thank guys, not only for this chapter, but also for your diligence through out the whole series.
> Here's a list of how the chapter could be - Replace Aria with Alicia; - Replace Aria with Alice and Aika; - Replace Aria with Akatsuki; - Replace Aria with anyone else; - Remove Aria's ridiculous outfit;
What about:
-Remove Aria Pokoteng (the Hoffa way, lotsa concrete with little trace)
Hehe... I guess I am not the only one who is not so fond of that freaky kitty. It's nice to have an animal sidekick, but it's a bit silly to have it chew up so much scenery without even being remotely funny or relevant. I think the series would have been an unchallenged slice-of-live masterpiece if that cat wouldn't have been around. Luckily the cat in Amanchu! stays way more in the bacground.
for those who think that boss aria shouldn't be there:
i believe you guys forgetting something here.
like the fact that amano is a cat lovers, or the fact that aria (the real one) died at what i guess oct 2007.... just let the chubby cat got a lot of pic time at this chapter will ya
Just downloaded the booklet scans for Aria the Natural DVD, volume 1 to 9, some 250MB.
There is a rather controversial find in it. Look at the picture "Aria nn3 (3).jpg". Look at the lower right corner. There is a sketch for the anime episode 7, the cat kingdom maze story.
Look at the underside of the gondola and there is a big shipscrew attached to it... Now I wonder whose gondola is that? Maybe it's Pokoteng's small electric launch, so it's OK, but if it's Akari's boat, that would be massive cheating!
On the other hand, prima's white gondolas have some weird script written all around the hull, under the edge of the deck.
I don't think any of that is legible, even at 1280HD resolution, but that may be some kind of propulsion charm, which is required to activate the alchemical properties of the gravity crystals hidden inside.
Trainees don't enjoy that benefit, they are expected to work hard after all.

ReplyDeleteAkari's casual wear looks good. She's barely recognizable with that baseball hat and her pigtails untied. :D
another release.... it's not even a week yet. you guys are spoiling us :D
ReplyDeletethanks...
and now i couldn't wait for ch55 *my hand is shaking* ^_^
just read it... now, about those monthly undine (which, by the way, i totally support it if u wanna scanlate it) are you gonna do all of the mag or just the manga part??
ReplyDeletePS: the files gonna be huge aren't they
> She's barely recognizable with that baseball hat and her pigtails untied.
ReplyDeleteAkari's got no pigtails, as she has told Akatsukin countless many times!
It's strange to note how Usagi Tsukino's hairstyle also got insulted by her boyfriend, maybe it's a common Yunichi Sato influence?
c-c-combo release.
ReplyDelete@Anon I know there are raws floating somewhere...
ReplyDeleteBut if someone can hook me up with a copy of volume 4, it will be much appreciated.
AS ITS THE ONLY ONE I'M MISSING D:<
Got the rest in Taiwan.

You should have asked me last month.
ReplyDeleteNav 55 actually got TL'ed on...24th March 2009! Needs to be put into a proper format for the QC'ers and TS'ers. Stay Tuned.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Akari, I'd at least have tried to get away from that freaky cat for a day. Ah well ;)
ReplyDelete@MiloD: I need the physical copies XD
ReplyDeleteGot 4 friends going back to Taiwan, at least ONE should fine it... lol
The blandest chapter on vol. 11.

ReplyDeleteWho is this "Aria" you speak of? ;)
Judging from the 'ridiculous outfit' part, I'm guessing it's President Aria.

Oh come on...Aria-shachou is a toy for us to laugh about whenever Maa-chan shows her unrequieted love.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I thought DA CAT was ok and funny when he tried to court Hime.

Meh, I don't really mind the fat thing. I just pretend it's not there and Akari is really, REALLY an airhead. <3

Second page on the Aria the Natural Navigation 3 DVD booklet, this part?

That bit circled in red says "Aria Shachou's Gondola"
Short lived controversy. :P
