Aria and Tamayura both have a nack of just making you feel better about living. Both series are slower paced but have characters and stories that will make you glued to the screen. All the characters are very much likable. As a result, both series make you feel for the characters, through their ups and downs.
These two are one of those series where you wonder why isn't my life like this?! Both excellent series. Tamayura should follow Aria, however, and air again in more seasons.
Tamayura: Hitotose and Aria the Animation are slice of life series with a slow pace but colorful cast of characters.
The flow of both series is well balanced with comedy, drama, and some emotional scenes. Each episode stands on its own but presents a new style of presentation every time.
The main female protagonist starts off fresh as a newcomer but gains experience with life and with others as each day rolls by.
The director Junichi Sato is involved with both series so expect a similar style in terms of delivery and writing. All in all, Tamayura and Aria the Animation offers a tale of

Both are about the girl protagonist who moved to a new and fresh place (Aria - Aqua, Tamayura - childhood town), with a certain goal in mind in which their jobs/hobbies reflect on it. Plus, a group of girls hanging around each other as they do various things.
The pure side of the slice of life genre, both shows are episodic "Iyashikei" (meaning healing), in which they both convey a soothing effect to the audience (same director makes all the more reason why). They are very slow paced and despite nothing much happening in either, time flies by really steadily when you're into the shows' atmosphere

Tamayura and Aria are both great examples of the iyashikei genre of slice-of-life anime,meaning that they try to relax the viewer instead of making them laugh like most other slice-of-life shows. They are both directed by the same guy, Junichi Sato I believe his name is, and they both star a group of girls as they go around through their everyday lives. Aria does have a sort of sci-fi/fantasy setting while Tamayura has a realistic setting, but besides that they're pretty similiar.
The main heroines of those series starts and ends each day with commentary about how wonderful and miraculous the life could be.
The story is slow paced, with very little action, and has occasional humorous scenes based mostly on characters reactions.
If you liked one for relaxing aspects, you would like the other too.
