As it suggests this show is about "nothing," but a very pleasant nothing. Its about the moments when life just feels pleasant, just like a completely "meaningless" good luck charm that just feels nice. Its a slice of life show that does not put heavy emphasis on the comedy but instead it focuses in the mood.
The animation is impressive for a short anime. While the characters don't move a lot, they are always drawn with lots of detail and are even sometimes cleverly framed. The lack of movement doesn't mean that the animation is lazy, nor that it relies only on pretty pictures. Movement is beautifully rendered each time its necessary.
The character designs are to give special praise for. Not deviating from the standard "moe" designs they clearly show character designer Hosoi Mieko's vast experience creating simple designs with sublime detail. The characters are always clearly distinguishable from the background art, never fighting against it, and bringing life to every scene.
The humor always fits the mood and is nearly guaranteed to bring a smile. While not exceptional, it honest and simple contributing to the feel of the anime while keeping in harmony with everything else.
Aiura is all about the mood, definitely worth trying considering its short length. I would also recommend watching it in one go. Each episode effortlessly flows into the next one resulting in a very pleasant ride.
