Synopsis

With Aria Company closed for the day and her friends attending to other matters, Akari Mizunashi seizes this rare opportunity to go on a casual outing around Neo-Venezia with President Aria Pokoteng. Although her Prima Undine gondola training has taken her to many remarkable tourist spots, Akari finds greater exhilaration reveling in the ordinary sights and sounds of the town. As Akari and President Aria stroll through Neo-Venezia on their own exciting itinerary, some familiar faces are not far behind. Drawn into their private tour, they too may discover a new perspective of the city.

Background

Aria the Origination: Sono Choppiri Himitsu no Basho ni... was included in the third DVD volume of Aria the Origination. While this episode was initially unaired, a digitally remastered version was shown on various broadcasting stations between July 1, 2016, and July 7, 2016, to celebrate the release of the Amanchu! anime, which shares the same original creator as the Aria series.

The special is based on chapter 39 of the manga.

One of the great things about episodic shows like Aria is that OVAs don't actually seem out of place within the context of the overall story.

Now one could argue that this OVA is nothing more than fluff, but given the "feelgood" nature of the entire series I found this episode fitted into the world of Aria rather nicely.

The story is very short and ...

Ah, all the nostalgia is coming back. Good times, good times.

STORY
This being a one-episode DVD special, one would think story would be complete filler. But then, this is a slice-of-life show, where things are episodic, and very few plotlines actually last.
Anyhow there isn't much to write about here without giving things away. Suffice to say it's about Akari's secret place.

ART
Worthy of a DVD special. Animation is top notch, the background is as usual gorgeous, detailed and extremely accurate when compared to the real-life counterpart, and there are no errors as far as I've seen.

SOUND
Exemplary, just like the rest of the Aria series. Every BGM piece ...
