which in your opinion is your favourite season?
| which in your opinion is your favourite season? and why? ive just finished it all, and they all seem unique and wonderful in their own way, and i love them all! like the animation is getting to know all of them and the moral stories, then natural was having a good time and some aspects of mystery then origination sums it all up and has the biggest character development |

| Why am I the first to vote? Lol Anyway, I feel that my vote has to go to Origination. It has had some of my favorite episodes yet, episode 10 (Aika stuck in well) being my favorite and the Atora, Anbu, and Anzu episode being second. |
     |
| I voted for origination as well. The last few episodes were just gorgeous. |
| official now, origination just replaced the animation on my favorites list i am now one step closer to a favorites list comprised solely of 10's :) |
| So where is the All Above option? I love them all! I'm kind of disappointed that Cait Sith didn't make an appearance in Origination. |

I love them all!. hehe i added it! and i agree! nooo we dont see cait sait in season 3?? *disappointed* i liked that mysterious part of aria with the parallel world of intelligient cats...:( ah well it had more character development rather than the little moral stories, and arias still amazing!! |

| Origination had the most strong episodes since it was wrapping everything up (this might be a bit biased since it's more fresh in memory), as well as the nicest visuals. |
| In my case I'd have to say Aria the Natural, :3 It's probably the only season where Akari actually got to meet the Cait Sith in person. |
 |
| I love the three seasons ^^" ... But my vote is for Origination ! This third season is the more wonderful *___* ... from the 8th episode is so ... T__T ... i was (and always now) so sad and so happy !! |
   |
| All of it was wonderful. But if I HAD to pick one, it would be ORIGINATION. For the content and the budget :v ORIGINATION was beautiful. NATURAL suffered from budget issues at times, obviously so :/ |
NATURAL suffered from budget issues at times, obviously so :/ Yeah. QUALITY was rampant in the TV airing of the Natural and the pacing was kinda... hmm. But I really can't make up my mind between the Animation and Origination (I consider Arietta a part of Origination because of the GODLY budget), so I'll have to choose the last one. |
| Origination - because of the budget I guess. $$$ = increase in art quality I guess! The art in the Natural was the most mediocre, the characters getting a big hit even - but the Isola San Michele episode saw the quality of art and effects skyrocket which was nice. |

| Favourite season is obviously Origination. While its true Animation interested me, I didn't really fall in love with it till midway through Natural. And, while Origination started out slow, it ended the series with an absolute bang. |
| All of them. And maybe I like the Origination slightly less that the others because everyone were too obsessed with becoming a Prima. |
| Origination is the most one which is great and touching. |
| Origination is on a completely different level than the others. I really liked Animation as well though. Natural had some great episodes, but it was far too inconsistent. :( |
 |
| For me, it was Natural. It had the most of my favorite stories bundled into that series...and thats pretty much the only reason. Origination is definitely a close contender though. |
| All ofc. |

| Definitely Origination. The former two seasons were good too but Origination just trumps them both. So happy yet so sad. =( |
| Excluding the final episodes of Origination, I thought Natural was the best overall. It had some of the most interesting stories, and had a supernatural mystique that was so alluring! (Cait sith, the fox's wedding, the lady in the black dress, etc.) |
| I like anime and stuff |
| 3rd season is really touching for me |
| Needs more Drill Hair. |
| yea orgination for me too.. the first two are good however the 3rd one was juz better haha.. 3rd is the charm eh? |
| 3rd season!~ |
| 3rd and a few select eps of 2nd. Didn't like the final eps of 3, felt a bit rushed. Only a bit. :3 |
 |
| It's kinda sad that the original season has only 3 of 75 votes. I know Origination was artistically stunning, but we'd be nowhere without the beloved first series :'( |
| Aye. I think the first season had the most nostalgic episodes (specifically That Undeliverable Letter, Those Orange Days, and That Soft Wish) and the closest we'd ever get to official fanservice (To That Island Which Shouldn't Exist and That Warm Holiday). |
| I voted for all because every of them made me feel so calm and at ease like on vacation. But if I had to pick one it would be The Natural, simply because I liked the stories there the most. |
 |
| All of the above. Because my consciousness would not allow me choosing one season over the other; that'd be like choosing chocolate over pizza...you could just have both. ><; PERSONALLY, however, Origination. Then Animation. Then Natural. |
| All seasons are good, but third is the best ^^ |
Yuunagi said: Aye. I think the first season had the most nostalgic episodes (specifically That Undeliverable Letter) That episode made me a fan of the series ;_; Still, my votes goes to Origination; it had the best animation, best OST and the ending was pretty amazing. |
| I voted the Natural, but that's only because I hadn't seen Origination at the time. The third season was definitely the most dramatic and, more importantly, it did it in an unforced and completely natural way. I'll probably never forget episode 9 and on for the Origination either. The entire series is great, so great that I went and bought the first two seasons. I rarely buy anything, btw. |

| Loved them all. Origination > Natural > Animation |
| All are important = favourite. ^^ |
| I loved and voted all, but I have Origination in my top 5 favorites, lol.. 1st season was for introducing characters, 2nd for the wold of Aqua, while Origination summed and concluded all of them.. I'm just hoping we can put an entire series into our favs though, like "Aria" on my 2nd fav spot, like that.. |

And, while Origination started out slow, it ended the series with an absolute bang. Seconded. Origination is a 10/10 and pushed the series into my top 10. Not sure how far up yet, but its definitely on that list now. The season has so many emotional and beautiful scenes for such a mellow and non plot oriented show. Alice's promotion episode is a contender for my favorite anime episode of any anime series. Akari's promotion and Alicia's farewell (final episode) aren't too far behind. Agreed 100% |
| I'm just a big visual novel fan but have also watched quite a bit of anime and played a bunch of games. Avatar is Mashiro from Making*Lovers and Kotori from Rewrite. |
| Origination is the most excellent and polished season yet. However, to fully appreciate it, the Animation and Natural MUST be watched. So probably all of the above. |
 |
| The 3rd season :D |
     |
| I love th Origination. It's a very touching/sad story, actually it really made me cry. Also like the Origination, Arietta has a touching story too, Animation and Natural has its funny side story. So i say All seasons are my favorite :) |
 |
| Arise thread! To start with, I rather like the colours and the BGM is probably the best in Animation. Stories are also very high quality, but I couldn't appreciate them fully on my first viewing. There were some jagged frames here and there, but nothing too big. Natural obviously took a blow on animation quality, which becomes very apparent on a second viewing. On the other hand it does build a lot of things that are crucial to the world of Aqua and its residents. This is also something that I wasn't able to see that clearly until I watched the Origination. Arietta OVA was somewhat of an oddball for me at first, and I even almost skipped it on my second watch, but it is a very good watch to get some much needed dialogue between Alicia and Akari. Especially since Alicia is always so secretive about herself and the Animation cuts out much of the introductionary material from the beginning and most of it is scattered over the various seasons. Arietta being an important one. Origination is almost perfect in terms of quality. All I noticed was clearly wrong was the episode with Alicia and Alice, with that awkward CG shot and one poor frame of Alicia that managed to find its way in. There were some weaker episodes, like the chocolatier one, but also some very sweet ones like the Atora, Anzu and Ayumi one. Also the past one with Grandma and the one with Aika and Akira. Great stuff. But it is not just those episodes that makes Origination great. It is the final ones where all that was done in the previous seasons comes together. It is just so very sweet to watch and that is what truly evoked my love for Aria, but on my second viewing I just felt sad that it was over. It is the best season I think, but mostly because of the ending. |
| in my opinion each season is amazing =D i really like all of them and i think that they are quite similar^^ in each episode Akari and her friends explore Aqua and experience new things but the anime never gets boring xD so you can see that you do not need a compliacted storyline to produce a great anime =) |
| For me, I enjoyed all of them. In Aria The Natural, there were some silly episodes that I least enjoyed, such as the one where President Aria fell and then saw all the genders of the characters have changed -_- A silly episode indeed! Plus some few episodes that were not too interesting in The Natural. But other than that, I still enjoyed that season along with Animation and Origination (plus the OVA - Arietta). This is my No.1 slice of life anime so far. I don't think anything else can beat the Aria series! |
 |
| The third season for me. Because it concluded all this great story with so much great moment. |
 |
| yes i love all |
     |
| Origination, without a doubt. Episodes 9 and 13 were simply on a league of their own. I had to reduce ALL of my scores to allow Origination the golden spot of #1. |
| Origination. That ending is just brilliant |
