aria definitely holds up to anime standards these with beautiful voice acting, animation and character designs.

love having a hot chocolate while chilling in bed watching it, so relaxing and cosy <3

The first season is easily the best one. I didn't like the sequels so much.

Only watched the first season, then that's my favourite. I'm saving Aria to watch in the future, when things get rougher I'll have Aria to chill out, one of the most wholesome shows that I watched, it's impossible to feel sad or bitter after an episode of Aria.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

s1 winning the vote is unexpected. I more often see season 3 on favorites lists, alongside stuff like Evangelion, Tatami Galaxy and other such "elitist" anime. That's very strange if you ask me. I can't help but wonder, is this person faking their list?

Anyway, season 2 is my favorite. There's no such thing as a bad Aria episode. But some of them are better than others. Natural has twice as many episodes as the other seasons, so it's a simple matter of probability.

It's funny that this is coming from someone with K-On their list lol.
That anime along with Aria is the definition of boredom lol.
At very least RE Zero has plot and characterization those anime have nothing, they are equivalent of walking simulators in gaming world.

Could be but in most cases I am skeptical. Faking your list is a very cringe thing to do but I have no doubt people do it.

Oh yeah? Well ReZero s2 is an inane, circular dialog simulator. I've never been so let down by a sequel before.

Origination is by far the best but it's terribly uneven, about half the episodes are great and the other half is garbage. It literally followed a 10/10 episode up with a 1/10 episode.

All the episodes scripted by Ayuna Fujisaki were garbage and the ones done by others were good to great. She was also responsible for almost all the episodes in the previous seasons I believe which would explain why only a couple episodes were good in those seasons.

Edit: Aria the Avvenire is actually my favourite Aria entry because it's actually adapted well throughout.

Yeah no doubt some people do it, but making it your base assumption about everyone who likes both highbrow and lowbrow shows seems a little much to me. (Not to mention Tatami Galaxy and Evangelion aren't nearly as highbrow (nor try to be) as some people, both fans and haters, make them out to be.) I doubt it's common enough to justify that.

I don't know....I don't ever recall fanservice in my precious Aria series. Might be better off watching something else.

I agree. I wasn't a fan of the first two seasons of the Aria series at all. I think people finding it boring is valid. I was in the same boat until I reached the final season, which made realize why Aria is the way it is.

I chose Aria the Origination, I feel like each season improved on the last. I've always been surprised that Aria the Natural doesn't get as much love as the other seasons, I especially liked that it explored the fantasy elements more than the others, plus there's just more of it so it feels like it's the meat of the series.

I've only seen S1 and S2 so far, but S2 was by far and away my favourite. We've already been introduced to the cast so the stories take front and centre stage and there's a more supernatural theme running through S2. Plus it's longer, more=better.

This is such a hard question! I voted for Origination, but honestly I'm not sure that's true. I loved seeing the characters have their training pay off, and I definitely cried. I really do love Natural, though, and the inclusion of Cait Sith. It was a really magical season.

Re:Zero only had plot for 6 episodes.
Everything after that is just a copy paste of that 6 episodes.
It's like the plot itself got into a time loop. Timeloopception.

Lol, imagine there are people preferring the incomplete Animation over other seasons. Where were the relationship's foundation and characters' introduction, again?

Then people favouring adaptations over the source material. Lol.

I'm not a big fan of the anime adaptation of Aria. The pacing is too slow, and the overly upbeat tone makes the character appear superficial. In the manga, they feel more genuine and what they say has more weight.

If I had to pick a season, it would be Aria The Natural, since it does a good job with world-building.

I liked Aria the Animation, but goddamn it's so fucking boring during the first several episodes. But Origination was the one that made me love the series as a whole after I watched episode 9 (my best episode of any anime of all time). So, Origination is still the best.
