So i absolutely loved season one of aria the animation and gave it a soild 9, it felt fresh, the characters were fun to explore and see the daily life progress regardless if they were training, cleaning, exploring etc.

I was left with a very satisfactory ending, im on episode 22 of natural and I've had mixed feelings on the 2nd season, still enjoying it alot and some of the supernatural vibes and exploring neo venezia while getting some great world building and lore :)

It just feels like half the time im not paying attention as my mind drifting, did this happen to anyone else while watching season 2?

i actually found the first 8 episodes really fun, it was between 9-19 i got restless, apart from the the 2 part episode with akira having to let go of her first gondola, that broke me emotionally.

This isn’t a show you should binge but one to watch 1 or 2 episodes before going to sleep
Binging it makes you lose attention a lot which might probably be why

I just finished the second season and I definitely had the same experience, but I definitely agree with the other people on this. It shouldn't be a show to binge, its works best as something to help relax and calm. Take it episode by episode, dont push yourself to watch the whole thing in a few days.

Nice! By the end of s2 I liked it just as much if not more than s1, I have no doubt you'll enjoy it too! :)

100% agree with you. I too gave Animation a 9, and I generally like the show very much.
Comparing, Natural is longer than Animation, and it certainly does feel like it. I say if it was reduced to its best 13 episodes, it may rival Animation or top it even.

I don't have the energy to continue from here and start with Origination as I think its more of the same thing. The 2021 movie however looks very crisp and modern, so I'm kind of motivated to jump right there and see what the girls are up to in that one

Thinking about to bump up my score to a 9 for this season too. In hindsight it's head and shoulders above majority of iyashikei. Haven't seen another one like this.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

it is easy to drift away when watching aria
especially when tired
everything from the story and characters to the sound
are so chill that it almost feels like a sweet dream
would say it is totally ok to do so
because it is all so comfortable and cozy and surreal
in every single possible aspect
not because it is boring
enjoying aria while being half-awake
is also a good way to enjoy aria my friend

I've finished aria the natural and overall I've given the season a 8/10.

there were some dull episodes in the middle but overall it was fantastic, the last 9 episode were FANTASTIC.

I think the best way to enjoy Aria and its seasons is watching max 3 episodes per day, especially when you had a stressful day and/or wanna relax. It gives me happy vibes and that's one of the many reasons I love it so much. ^_^

The 2nd season is just boring and has way way to many cat focused episodes. I kinda hate the cat focused episodes in this franchise.
