Greetings! from another planet.

I’m currently in the process of catching up with Aria, as I have been too lazy to watch it these past weeks. I just finished episode 5, which was about talents.

Aika felt depressed because she wasn’t as talented as Alice, the super smart junior, and Akari, the all-natural-friendly-person. She felt that she wasn’t a genius and ended up putting herself down. In the end, her mentor, Akira, says that if you don’t have a talent, just make one. But, personally, like what Alphonse said to Sheska in Fullmetal Alchemist, “I think being passionate in something is in itself a talent.” (Viz translations, chapter 10 book 3)
