The reason why people give the Origination a 10 is simply that the ending is very emotionally powerful. Just that.I find the finale to be a little detached. The series kind of ended with not much of an emotional climax that I was expecting. All good moments came before the final 2 episodes or so. All in all, it's a good series. It had its themes, emotional resonances, and character progressions. Beside some repetitive tropes, it's a solid 7/10 finale. I can understand why people give this series a 10. It's definitely unique in a sense with its presentations. Aria as a whole is probably my top 20 series of all time now. Well, that's that. But ain't enough in my book at least. |

| I wish it didn't end :( "May a breeze carrying new beginnings reach you" ..the makers of this show are such good people that want to spread good feelings, that was so lovely at the end.. The past few episodes were so emotional, nostalgic. I was overwhelmed when the first OP from Aria The Animation played.. I really wish it didn't end. |
| TOTALLY 11/10 UGH. I wish they made it a 2 cour series like Natural. And wish they played Rainbow at the end. A very unique story that's very relaxing. Thank you Amano-sensei for Aria. Ara ara Alicia-san 💙 |
| This anime is the definition of slice of life and iyashikei for me. The ending was so superb. Even with the only ending, this season deserves a 10/10 imo. Thank you Amano Kozue for this awesome anime and everyone who works for it <3 If u liked aria then u can try to watch natsume book of friends. It has the same feelings with totally different world. |
| One of the best anime I've ever seen, everything that has built up paid off in this episode; I was crying the whole time. Akari's first customer was Mr. Postman! Glad to see that he's still around, even if he isn't Mr. Postman anymore. Alicia's retirement was so sad, especially when she got off the gondola, but her passing on the oar to Akari was a nice touch. There was also the bit earlier in the episode when Akari thought Alicia left her for good, man... The faded memories in the household of all the good times, but like all things you must move forward to the future! Grown-up Akari is so pretty, reminiscent of Alicia, with Ai!! 10/10 |

| This season is such an upgrade. both from a production value and writing quality standpoints. Overall, Aria was a pleasure. which is unexpected as i'm not into "healing" anime. remarkable how the gimmicks, dynamics and interactions of the characters never gets boring throughout the series. 9/10 |
| WTF, who did Alicia marry? like what? Man, this was such a nice season. I was tearing up when it came to things like them getting promoted. Been quite the ride. I picked up s2 weeks ago and now im finishing up s3. I really had a great time and Im not afraid to give this a 10/10 |

| It's sad to see Alicia resigning from aria company, especially seeing Akari expressing her feeling to Alicia, at least Alicia left there with a smile. The scene where the first opening got played got my eyes teary ;-; I understand why people like this series as a whole, good character progression, nice character interaction, wonderful world building, and memorable ost, it'll be so much better experience if i didn't have a huge gap watching between every series and episodes. Origination was definitely one of the best finale in any SoL anime i've ever watched. |

| Currently crying. 10/10 |
 “Without love, it cannot be seen.” |
| Not gonna cry NOT GONNA CRY FUCK, I CRIED The pure joy that this series has brought in these difficult times is undescribible. From each line talking about Neo Venezia's beautiful atmosphere, to their citizens and the passing of life, it all got reflected in this final episode. Alice's surprising retirement and marriage, Akari heartwarming goodbye to her, even the last scene with Ai all grown up with her uniform, it was certainly a bless to my soul to see. I'm so happy I was able to give this recommendation a shot. Now, the season overall was to me the best one, hands down. Even if the animation didn't make a big step up and some episode came a bit slow (the earlier ones), the details surrounding Aqua, the character development and relationships and the abundance of songs mostly made up for it. In fact, the moment it made me cry I knew this was something special and I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the content now. Bless |

| A huge emotional trip |
| Inhales oxygen |
| My heart. My feelers. So while it was sudden for us. Alicia post poned everything including Akaris promotion just to keep life as it is for a bit longer. I know the show is focused on Akari but it would've been nice to see who Alicia was marrying. The future glimpse was lovely with the cycle continuing with Ai. Loved the line where she mentioned how she thought they were all on the same path but it was more their own path going similar directions. More story, upped animation, lack of mystical elements this season. Overall loved it |
| This was one of the best pieces of media I've ever seen. So much happiness, so much magic and fantasy it given to me. Thank you Aria, for make my life better. |
| The last 2 episodes completely move mountains ~ it's close to impossible to feel so happy and sad at the same time. This is the benchmark for coming of age and iyashikei stories. I damn shed more than a couple tears. 9.5/10 |
| I love the atmosphere and soundtrack. But this is not a Shounen anime. It's shoujo trying to be Shounen anime. |
