...because it made me upset that I will never live in Neo-Venezia or become an undine.
With that said, I thoroughly enjoyed Aria. I would consider it among my favourite anime. My reason for this verdict is how this series manages to maintain a cheerful yet relaxing mood throughout. Watching Aria never feels like a chore, even though nothing happens. You shouldn't try to rush through Aria because it's an anime to be truly enjoyed.
The setting of Aqua is absolutely beautiful, with great backgrounds and a design that was clearly thought about carefully. The characters themselves always look beautiful and I particularly love their uniform design.
Aria is well-supported throughout with a fantastic soundtrack that perfectly sets a relaxing mood. The music is absolutely gorgeous and a highlight of the series, including the beautiful opening and ending.
Overall, Aria is an excellent series for anyone who wants to enjoy a gentle and calming experience. I would recommend watching it as a way to escape from the stress of daily life.
P.S.: I love Akari. <3
