Aria - The Origination

If the entirety of the Aria anime series were one coherent anime series, I would not hesitate to put this show in my top ten of best anime series. Unfortunately, in my opinion, you cannot pick just one season out, in isolation without the context of the entire anime series because even though each season is beautiful and magical, each one is still just a part of the whole picture. Overall, the narrative is the most enjoyable and beautiful I have ever seen. Aria the Animation was a lovely introduction that brought us to the world of "New Venice" and introduced us to the characters, pace, and style of the narrative. Aria the Natural was a vehicle that worked beautifully within its setting, worked gently with the characters, and slowly revealed everything at the same wonderful and enjoyable pace. Aria the Origination is a wonderful and emotional conclusion, where everything ends in a way we had wished for in our minds and which you can enjoy a lot. On its own, it is beautiful, although together it is perfect. So I am awarding this 10/10, and I am completely satisfied with all three seasons of the anime series. (17/01/2016)
