Ao Haru Ride Episode 8
The title consisted of individual readings for the characters used for the word "youth" (青春, seishun), which were "blue" (青, ao) and "spring" (春, haru).[11] The phrase was then followed by the word "ride" because Sakisaka envisioned the image of "riding on youth."[11] Sakisaka had decided to have the title read "Aoharide" instead of "Ao Haru Ride" because the sounds flowed better.[11] The logo was designed by Yasuhisa Kawatani.[12] The bottom of the original Japanese logo contained the English text, "The scent of air after the rain. I heard your pulse. I saw the light." Kawatani drew inspiration from the song "I Saw the Light" by Todd Rundgren while designing the logo.[13] In Viz Media's English translation, the subtitle was reworded into, "The scent of air after the rain... In the light around us, I felt your heartbeat."[14]

Yeah, the Bechdel Test. My bad! But for the history pass in the test, at least 2 female characters with names must have a conversation about something other than boys/men. Ao Haru Ride passes in the test in episode 2 when Futaba talks to Yuri about the reason for her having the lunch outside in the winter. 041b061a72
