Synopsis

The successor and branch manager of the Himeya Company—one of the many Undine associations housing female gondoliers—Aika S. Granzchesta surprises everyone when she rejects tradition and refuses to inherit the company's legendary gondola. Aika's apprentice Azusa B. McLaren, unable to wrap her mind around her mentor's unexpected decision, confronts her directly but to little effect. To better understand her reasoning, Azusa and her fellow Undines secretly plan to arrange a meeting with Aika.

With the much-awaited winter days in sight, accompanied by the tranquility and sublimity of Neo-Venezia, Aika reminisces about her journey as an Undine that forged her into the person she is today. As she vividly remembers all those invaluable experiences of the past, she trusts they will continue to guide her into the unknown yet boundless future.

Melancholic, heartwarming and a bittersweet ending to a lovely franchise, even with it's latest and last installment; Aria proves itself to be the best in Iyashikei genre.

The franchise may have ended for many by the end of Origination, when the main girls became Prime Undine but it still got 3 more installments to expand it's story by giving us a glimpse of future of how all of the characters will be living on, but unlike the previous two, The Benedizione instead focused on Aika and Akira's characters and showed a part of their story from the past, I love Aika's character so I wholly enjoyed ...

"The people who terraformed this planet as well as the people who founded this city, are all gone. Even so, the city of Neo-Venezia, will continue to live on, after we're gone"

Aria the Benedizione wraped things up pretty nicely for in my honest opinion, the best slice of life series that's ever been produced. Now I can sleep soundly, in tear, that even though I won't see these girls for a very long long time, they will continue to live on in Neo-Venezia, doing what they love.

Watching Aria is quite a magical experience to me. Just like watching life. It's slow, reminiscent and warm. ...

Mixed Feelings
I refuse to score this but want to write my thoughts, but why do reviews do the counterintuitive thing and make you score it…

The story boarding/layout/storytelling doesn’t even hold a candle to the originals and even a simple ova (arietta) was so much better than this 1 hour movie we got. Aria was known for its subtlety, epitomizing eloquent show not tell storytelling that was not highbrow and easily understood by all(accessible). These 3 installments were the opposite: all about telling through exposition dumps and explaining rather than showing their feelings. The setup was waayy to long, this could’ve been chopped down to 30-40 mins ...
