Well.. its about that filler. (I've explained this to a couple people already, so excuse my paraphrasing. (^^ (maybe i should make a blog post about Nadia for this site or something...)
Basically, if you just watch all 39 episodes of Nadia like any other series, i am 99.9% sure you will hate it by the end, even if you LOVED it at the beginning. Episodes 23-34 were never supposed to exist. (I dont know if the history lesson is necessary but) Nadia was really popular, so an additional 12 episodes were proposed. For some reason or other the original director Hideki Anno did not direct those extra episodes, and a different director took over until Anno came back to direct the last 5 episodes to wrap up Nadia.
Those filler episodes literally do NOTHING WHATSOEVER to furthur the plot. everything changes for the worse. the animation quality drops, characters not acting like themselves at all, (the thing that pissed me off the most) the very-important-to-the-plot romance's progress gets totally reset.. its a disgrace. Nadia turns into a total bitch. her coldness is important to her character in the beginning, but by the start of the filler i episode 23 she had softened a good deal. the filler reinstates her bitchiness. its frustrating.
The episode order i used to get the most out of Nadia is 1-22 then 30 and 31, then 35-39. 30 and 31 are two of "those" episodes but they help explain Nadia's past. for some reason plot randomly starts happening before decending back into mediocrity. If you follow this order you should be fine. it'll be a little weird, especially the transition from 31 to 35, but it sure beats hating the show.
if you love the show for any reason it will be for Jean. (^^ he made this show for me. his romance with nadia was surprisingly cute.
and not to force my opinions on you any more than i already have, but look for the sub version. idk if you are a dub person or not but trust me the dub is...not the best.

Heya.
First of all, cheers for the comment. It pleases me to know someone read one of my reviews and found it helpful. It's very rare for someone to comment on my profile like you!
Yeah: I prefer anime heavy on realism. If an anime can hit me where it hurts, then I tend to think highly of the title in question. That's how I differ from others who want to escape into other fictional worlds via anime.
If lessons on life are what you desire, then anime isn't really the way to go: manga is. A lot of the more realistic manga never get adapted because the stories aren't mainstream/dumb enough to sell. There are rare anime gems, like NieA, but they are few and far between.
Since I'm currently in manga mode and reading Ikigami, even though I'm aware you aren't a manga reader per se, you should check out Ikigami. It's about how humans spends their last 24 hours when they know they're going to die. Some go down a violent path, others a more peaceful one. If reality and lesson about life interest you, then seeing a good examination of human nature might just do it for you.
...or, if you just want a random anime recc, how about Ocean Waves? I have a review up for it. Ditto for the Black Jack OVA series. :)

It was the complete opposite for me for Itazura. I thought it would be another romantic comedy where she chases him all over the place, but I just love how far their relationship gets.
All I'm wishing for is a NANA Second Season... I'll have to settle for the manga for now though.

If you have even the slightest interest in the series, I highly recommend that you actually give it a try. There are 3 seasons and a number of OVAs and Specials, so you'll be doing a marathon :)
Looking at your list, it is difficult to say whether you will come to enjoy the series. One thing for sure, there are no exploding actions or major plot twists in this anime. However, if you are a rather emotional person, watching Aria will not go wrong. Light, relaxing, cute, heart-warming and touching. That is how Aria is like, and the reason why I was captivated by the series and love it.
The main characters are very interesting and are very well developed. There are many funny moments and they are very likeable. The story places emphasis on human relations, attributing to the many heart-warming and touching parts. Often, your emotions will flow with the anime. Graphics wise, there are many beautiful and memorable scenes, and I still have a deep impression of them. The music also fits in very well with the mood and pace of the anime. The overall feeling is just... superb. I fully enjoyed the anime.
After stating all the good points about Aria, I'll need to tell you about the bad part too. The only problem with Aria is probably how slow paced it is. There are people who find it boring so it is really up to the individual. Other than this, I don't think there's anything else to criticise.
You should watch a few episodes and see how you feel about the anime. Hopefully you will come to enjoy it too :)

I found it extremely amusing when she always yelled Ichijō's name in her funny accent and she just delivered so much for me in the anime despite her supporting role. xD
