First,
Let me tell you upfront, aria is NOT for you who is a die-hard fans of action, tension, thrill, and suspense.
Second,
Again, read the first.
I'm telling you guys this because Aria has none of them. Like i said before, Aria sells the atmosphere.
Aria tells the story of Mizunashi Akari and her adventure becoming a Prima Undine. Almost every ecounter, conflicts, and adventure is meant not to amaze you, but to make you realize how important small things are, and relaxes you at the same time.
The visualization of Neo-Venezia(Yes, Neo, because the real Venezia is sunk here.) is very sublime, so imaginably fitting with the sci-fi concepts that Kozue Amano presents.
The great visualization is accompanied with amazing scoring and sound tracks. As i'm writing this, the ending song of Aria, Rainbow, is playing in my head.
The opening song, "Undine", is very hypnotizing, hits me in the very heart of mine. I dare you, when you hear "Undine" you will think of Neo-Venezia and it's beauty.
Not that this series is perfect, i almost fell asleep too many times watching this, which is not a good thing, but hey, i fell asleep not because it was boring, but because it's "Aria", which makes it a good thing on the other hand.
Watch this with your heart wide open and feel the magic of Neo-Venezia, and then you'll see small things around you differently and appreciate them more.
