When it comes to the animation it is slightly worse than in the OVA but still better than in Aria Natural so I guess that is still an improvement. Storywise its the same as all of the others. I know I sound like a broken record but those cheesy one liners still annoyed me. This series is better paced though, partially thanks to just being half the length of Aria Natural. I think this is the best format for these kinds of shows. Speaking of Aria the Natural this show didnt have any of those zany surreal story episodes which were a really common occurence in Aria Natural which makes this show the most realistic one out of them, which I sort of like. Theres not much else to actually say, since this show doesnt bring that much new to the table, though I gotta say the final episode was well done and made the story come full circle. So all in all if you´ve seen all the other ones, you might as well see this one too, since it features all the characters you´ve learned to like. (show less)

"Aria the origination" is now officially one of my recommended series. If you read my reviews on the previous seasons you can tell this anime is different from anything I've seen before.

The story in this third season is relatively great. Plot was never one of aria's strongest points but you can really feel the change in the atmosphere long before something happens. Again the change in the lives of the main characters made me reflect on my own life, something that aria is clearly very good at doing.
The ending was really great and touching. It kind of was what I was expecting and on the other hand it surprised me, two things that would seem difficult to combine.

The quality of the dialogue remained the same as in the last series, which is good ;)

One of my main remarks on the last seasons was its moments of irritating animations. The first thing I noticed when watching the first episode is that that's completely gone. "Aria the origination" looks beautiful!

Aria is very relaxing, makes you enjoy life more and think how to better it. The opening and ending were fitting. It's kind of special but if you're open for it definitely give it a try! (show less)
