| Nozomi Entertainment announced that they have licensed Aria the Animation. This announcement came at 2:00 PM CST after a week of hints and guessing on their official website and forums. The first season is scheduled to be released on September 30th as a DVD collection for $49.99. Aria the Natural, Aria the OVA ~Arietta~, and Aria the Origination will be released sometime after.

| All is well as long as crystalnova doesn't drop origination... |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Must buy all three season! Now if someone can licenses Sketchbook and I'll be in heaven. |
| Hmm, I haven't seen any of this one yet, maybe I'll do like 5 Centimeters per Second and watch a little bit of it and then buy it if I like it. Except I still haven't gotten 5 Centimeters per Second...I shall add it to my to-do list. |

| Seems like Nozomi made another good choice! I really like their trend of licensing fan-favorite series, although while I'm in no hurry to buy Aria at the moment. |
| FINALLY |
  |
| Does this mean no dub? D: Of all their shows... |
| I was really looking forward to ARIA being dubbed. Damn. |
| Great news. I will buying it for sure. :D |

There's no way American voices could portray the serene setting, or the quirks of the great characters. Just a little biased but I will let it go So I saw episode one and it was good, I may grab the show, but hope it has special features and the lack of dub is disappointing. |

mitamaking said: Just a little biased but I will let it go I'm not actually against dubs, but I think they're only appropriate in some situations, certainly not ones like this. It's a simple fact, there is absolutely no way an American cast can remotely fit this show. |
Asako said: I'm not actually against dubs, but I think they're only appropriate in some situations, certainly not ones like this. It's a simple fact, there is absolutely no way an American cast can remotely fit this show. they could, but i don't think any of the actors talented enough to do it would be interested in dubbing anime. kasumisama said: I'll be buying these but I still want subs, as I don't want to wait several months to finish the last few episodes. >_<; same here, i hope CN doesn't drop it too, and that they pick up the pace. they haven't had a release in like two months and they're only on the 4th episode :( anyone know if Hitode fansubs are any good? and if they plan to drop it? they seem to be further along than CN tho not quite as far as HnK was. btw, i highly reccomend this series to anyone reading this that hasn't already seen it, its a wonderful slice of life anime. |
| Haha I just started Aria a couple days ago and had just finished watching episode 3 when I saw this post, so I went to check the lolipower site to see if the series was still available but its already been removed, I'm going to have to find another place to download the rest of it D: |
 |
| I keep forgetting about this company. lol I always wanted to watch this series. Glad that somebody's licensing older shows. |
| Great news! I've been waiting for Aria to be licensed ever since the first anime season aired! I can't wait to own it on DVD! ^^ As for fansubs of "Aria The Origination", I just watched the entire season raw, granted it wasn't easy to follow at times, but I couldn't wait for subs. |
  |
| Very cool. I still have to catch up. >_< |
     |
| :3 Embarassing Remarks aren't allowed. But I'm glad Aria has finally been licensed, took some time but it was very much worth it. Puinyu. ^^ |
 |
| I hope CN hasn't dropped it also...just wondering what is going to be faster. CN finnishing Origination or Origination being released here in Australia (If that ever happens). Don't want to order online if you're going to tell me to. |
 |
| I was able to see the first season of ARIA on fansubs over a year ago and I was wondering if it was ever going to get liscensed in the US, and I'm glad to read that it has. ^_^ The thought sorta came to me recently about what they might have done w/the ARIA DVD's if were to have included a English dub. If they did have the English dub to go along with the original Japanese audio, you think they would include the Italian dub as well?. ^_~ |
 |
| Hmm if s1 is being released as a collection I might go and buy it since I don't have to wait X months for the next volume, etc. and I can save money. |

Sailor_Sexy said: ...what? 3 years old doesn't qualify an anime as being considered an "older show". Well, it isn't new but it's a long wait from licensing. I keep thinking companies forget a few shows that aired after two or so years, hence "older" series. |
| I was hoping for a dub too...Curses. That would've been good. Oh well. Guess it's time to finally check it out. |
You can find me on IRC. |
