(And NO, I don't USUALLY see/notice girl-girl couples and watch what is probably quite mainstream anime) Someone recommended Aria, and wow, as everyone has said - it oozes charm. I thought I'd be bored and run away, but it was so worth watching! I especially liked some of the episodes in the the latter half of season2, which brought in quite a bit of different humour (plus scary lady dressed in black) and watching the anime makes me want to visit Venice! Back to Aria the OVA - I've watched it once but plan to watch it again. It's kind of sweet (and great) to see something (albeit disappointingyl short) inbetween season 2 and season 3, although I personally still see Akari as really seeing Alicia as a kindly older sister (perhaps almost mother-like) figure. I hadn't even thought about coupling in this anime (apart from Aika + Al Kun) until I saw the interaction between Athena and Alice, and thought AWWW. Then I read something about Akira and Alicia as a potential couple, and uh... it seemed so right actually on hindsight! As for who Akari should be paired with? Mr. Salamander man s'il vous plait! He needs someone (i do think he's sweet :D) considering Alicia is technically already taken! Looking forward to the next season! p/s: I'm at a loss as to what happens when a Prima retires - I mean, where on earth do they go? Do they have a retirement fund? Alicia is a bit too young to retire? And how do they become Prima again - is this some sort of national exam?
