Why didn't Yea Forums tell me that this was the most comfy show ever created? It's just puts your mind at ease and helps you appreciate life more. I am 10 episodes in and this is certainly the best SOL anime I have seen.

Does the anime cover the source material completely?
Austin Bailey
We used to have a guy do daily dumps of the manga.
As for me, I found it after hearing some of it's music and got interested, was pleasantly surprised.
Also, don't forget to BUY the Masterpiece books, they're being printed in English even so it's a rare opportunity.
Eli Torres
There's a few chapters that were never adapted, but for the most part, yes.
Jayden Nelson
Comfy gets crushed by characters repeating their shtick ad nauseam, unable to have a genuine interactions because the poorly written wooden dialogue and by the show force feeding the audience sophomoric monologues rarely ever warranted by the prior happenings. You really have to have your brain in sludge mode just being lulled by the calming music and the pastel slideshow not really paying attention to whats actually being presented to find it comfy. But I suppose standards are a prerequisite in order to be annoyed with all of the above.

Make sure to read the manga and then read it again while listening to the soundtrack for the full Aria experience.
Eli Evans
I don't get this statement, especially when the series goes out of it's way to show to passage of time and how it changes people. Alice becoming a Prima shook up a lot near the end, as did Aika meeting Al and subsequently trying to capture his attention, or all the holidays dispersed throughout the year. The anime adding in some apprentices to look after did well to add some variety in the interactions, since it wasn't just your main character with a talented but young peer like Alice but someone who really needed guidance

Enjoy, OP. Aria is my favorite anime ever. It has some problems, but it's just magical the entire way through.

I tried to watch this shit, but it's boring crap, nothing ever happens, it's even boring for sol moeshit, not that I watched a lot of that garbage. You can easily play it at 3x speed and not miss anything.
Connor Stewart
The one-note characters, bland dialogue and sappy unearned monologues as catharsis should be self evident. How they culminate into stories with no narrative or emotional hook is something that's inherently beyond a fan of the show.
>show to passage of time and how it changes people.
It's laughable if you think Aria tackles this theme to a degree that it would make it even worth mentioning. Wanna be glorified tour guides becoming fully fledged tour guides through no meaningful internal or external adversity really hammers the point of changing with passage of time home.
Alexander Garcia

Nolan Watson
I don't really think adversity needs to be a main element of a story like this, but there is a clear change in the characters due to how they interact with others and how they learn from their peers. Akari is somewhat ditzy to the end, sure, but she learns to appreciate Aqua and all its little intricacies as well as going through her own coming of age with Cait Sith. Aika was just a straight up ungrateful jerk in the beginning, but she mellows out considerably even if she's still an ojou to the core.
I think you may have a point with the water fairies though. As much as I like them their arcs are already completed and their growth was offscreen in their glory days. The final farewell between Alicia and Akari should have been handled better, as well as the romance reveal. In addition, the singles who rowed together, the isolation Alice felt after being promoted early, or the girl who repeatedly takes the Prima test were interesting and might offer the adversity you wanted if they had a few more chapters.

Anyone else here been buying The Masterpiece? The translation seems kind of weird.
Landon Ward
Yeah the translations lack some things like 'hahi' and 'kinshi' and they took a bit of a liberty with honorifics but nothing too extreme and I'm just very happy to finally get my hands on the books.
I can understand why thery did most changes though, so I'm not too bothered by it.
Daniel Hughes
This has been sitting in my backlog for years.
Hudson Diaz
We told you, faggot, but the issue is that people don't really pay attention to discussions about shows they haven't heard of or watched so you probably missed it. If you enjoy Aria, I'd also suggest you try reading Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou.
Eli Powell
This.
If you want comfy go for YKk, NNB or even that recent camping show instead of this garbage.
Carson Cook
NNB and Yuru Camp are "guilty" of the same exact things as what he wrote.
Ryder Gonzalez
>It's laughable if you think Aria tackles this theme to a degree that it would make it even worth mentioning.
It tackles it in a way that is true to life and very relatable to a person with a somewhat mature mindset. That's how the passage of time actually feels like for most of the people.
>Wanna be glorified tour guides becoming fully fledged tour guides through no meaningful internal or external adversity really hammers the point of changing with passage of time home.
Apart from the passage of time, another major theme is finding beauty in the mundane. If the show was full of adversity, or if the characters had highly unusual goals, it would underminde its own message. It doesn't have to click with everyone, but the show is not at fault here. That would be your mindset and also the fact that you expected it to be something it was never intended to.
Christopher Parker
Yeah I don't think so buddy. The dialogue in NNB is about a hundred times more inventive than that in aria and there are no sappy monologues just kids playing in the country side. It's not trying to push regurgitated life lessons that were obviously taken from other works of fiction at face value without any thought behind it onto you. And on the count of well played gags it has much more entertainment values per episode.
Jonathan Sanchez
>Aria tackles this theme to a degree that it would make it even worth mentioning
I'd argue that it does because the world of Aria is so comfortable and saccharine. It makes the feeling of change more disturbing, and clearly represents it as a kind of loss to be grieved (but then overcome).
Luke Cox
So a mature way of tackling passage of time is through a series of 40+ formulaic episodes that in universe span a few years and then you throw in a TIME SKIP epilogue. And in that elapse of time the change is something as worthless as from a storytelling perspective.
Beauty in the mundane? As opposed to what? All you get is bland and very simplified characters on a very comfortable unobstructed cruise towards achieving their dreams in a fucking futuristic tourist utopia. The portrayal is so one sided that, again, I laugh at anyone who thinks is worth emphasizing as merit.

It's actually sad you can't enjoy it, but the fact you can't enjoy something like this and have the need to come on a chinese basket weaving imageboard to sprout how superior you are because you didn't enjoy it and belittle others that did is actually pathetic.

>So a mature way of tackling passage of time is through a series of 40+ formulaic episodes that in universe span a few years and then you throw in a TIME SKIP epilogue.
That's a very loaded question. The mature way of tackling the passage of time is subtle and true to life. It's what everybody has went through after college or even high school. You can't feel how quickly the time passes until a certain episode of life is over and suddenly your every friend is busy with their own lives and you wonder when exactly did everything change. Perhaps you can even look at the characters from the perspective of the parent.
The TIME SKIP epilogue is not central to the story, it's just a way to end the show. The genre is Slice of Life and you are given exactly that, can't expect that slice to span decades. Even then, the show does a good job at showing you the history of the world and how the generations changed throughout time.
>Beauty in the mundane? As opposed to what?
As opposed to a show with complex overreaching plot, as opposed to a story about higly remarkable individuals full of twists and interesting events. Aria portrays the relatively mundane days of the main cast.
>All you get is bland and very simplified characters on a very comfortable unobstructed cruise towards achieving their dreams in a fucking futuristic tourist utopia.
Disagree, apart from some exceptions, the characters definitely aren't as bland as you make them out to be, but it's mostly a matter of opinion. The cruise also isn't unobstructed, but the obstructions aren't anything of epic proportions, the show stays true to life and to its genre and doesn't try to be something else entirely.
The substance depends on what you make it out to be. I swear, every anime show with "substance" turns out to be some kind of a relatively simple message that has already been repeated hundreds of times throughout the history of literature and cinematography.

Aqua is basically his dream of Terraforming Mars come true.
John Robinson
It's occasionally implied in Aria that Earth is somehow very stressful, and that Mars is a vacation planet for people to recuperate. Then again I don't think it's supposed to be anarchic, just crushing in the sense of being a corporate slave or something.
Caleb Collins
This is always sweet.

Aria, ONLY the 1st season is good. 2nd season was so bad and repetitive I quit.
Jaxson Rogers
One, that's completely and utterly wrong. Two, the 3rd season is the best by far.
Jack Cruz
First season is just an introduction. 2nd season fleshes out the setting, it focuses on Aqua, Aeo Venezia and their mysteries. If you are not interested in that, that's entirely your fault. I found it great.

happens in the last episode/epilogue ovas. The same last episode that retcons much more interesting events to have Alicia fuck off from her pedestal to make room for Akari but that's me going on a tangent. My problem is with the execution, it's too stale, repetitive and fails to bring forth what your trying to emphasizes for the balk of the show.
>Beauty in the mundane? As opposed to what?
The muddled point I was trying to make is that their "mundane" is one-sided, idealized and romanticized. As opposed to the average, true to life *wink* *wink* mundane life the audience might encounter, Aria is all about taking sight seeing trips with you friends under a pretext and when that gets to mundane you can get spirited away by the planet's ghost all the while you are on a direct path to personal fulfillment and achieving your dream. Again, is not about me disagreeing with the message, at least the message most fans take away, I find fault with the presentation.
