Robazoid 10/08/22 10:09:14 PM #331:	93. Aria https://myanimelist.net/anime/477/Aria_the_Animation Fall 2005 (13 episodes), Spring 2006 (26 episodes), Winter 2008 (13 episodes) plus 4 OVAs My Score: 7/10, MAL Score: 7.68/10 S1, 8.18/10 S2, 8.49/10 S3 Best Character: Mizunashi Akari https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EIULHTeTrk Premise: On a terraformed Mars, now called Aqua, many companies offer tours in gondolas on the canals. Mizunashi Akari is training at the Aria Company and often practices with her friends. The Good: Aria is a slice-of-life, and there are only a handful of anime Id classify as more laid-back than this one. It mostly follows Akari as she trains to be an Undine (the name given to people who give tours on gondolas). She practices with her friends Alice and Aika. They have different mentors as well as their own strengths and weaknesses, and they often help each other improve. I liked all of them, but this isnt an anime for complex character arcs or dramatic stories. Its an anime to watch when you want to sit back and relax. There are several episodes that venture into fantasy or the supernatural, but it always remains whimsical and lighthearted. The Bad: While I enjoyed Aria for its relaxing aura, it never resonated with me as much as I know it did for other people. If I compare this to Amanchu (another anime based on works by the same author), Aria was much more consistently good. Amanchu had lower lows, but also much higher highs, and I preferred that in the end. Aria never did anything wrong. It was just always fine, and that didnt leave me with anything to latch onto to justify ranking it higher. Overall: Years ago, I watched Aria one episode a day for almost two months. It was the perfect anime for that. The slice-of-life stories were always fun and lighthearted, making them a perfect companion no matter what kind of day Ive had. Akari and her friends became a part of my routine. When the ending came, I was left with a melancholy feeling. I was sad that the journey was over. I said above that Aria was consistently fine, but that isnt a bad thing! It was nice to have an anime like this, without drama or big twists, to simply watch and enjoy. --- R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D <cite>Robazoid posted [p:968586382] in Robazoid R...
