Probably that all anime is the same.

No it's just a comparison shot of the start of aria to the end of whatever series it's currently on.

I believe it's comparing Akari's first day with Ai's first day, it effectively compares the beginning with the ending of the series.

pity the series is over

Akari is so moe.

I never get tired of rewatching Aria. It's by far the brightest and happiest series I own.

Mature Akari is best Akari
