It's just impossible not to love anything related to Aria ^^ I'm glad it wasn't some kind of total filler but episode more or less based on manga.

I like Aika's "we'll definitely become like them".

I hope they will too!

Would this be better to have been seen before watching the series? Aika's hair is long so it definately doesn't work with the ending.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

That reminded me that it's about time to re-watch the entire Aria property.

Damn it was only 5 minutes long. Anyways, I watched this after I've finished the Natural season so it was kind of funny for me to see Aika's long old hair, lol. Also, I saw this episode as an introduction of characters.

The ending was just perfect. We get to see the 3 legendary water fairies rowing together. Their figures just inspired out juniors to become the number 1 undine in Neo-Venezia's history.

Now onto Aria the Origination! :3

Too short, but pretty good for an eps 0. Well, time for the TV series.

WOW how nostalgic. After 2 weeks since finishing the whole Aria series. This is such a throwback. I keep finding specials that I have never seen before, every time I come back to the Aria page. I truly love this anime and what has to offer. Once again to the brilliant and lovely Aria.

It may be a bit late but I found it on Youtube with an Italian sub.

Short special, a good introduction before the Tv series.

Watched this right after Natural, it's a great preview, like an extended PV. Can't believe I gave up my 200th completed anime to this Aria short :p. Oh well, enjoyable 7/10.

This was the last animation of Aria I watched, but I still loved it like the other parts of the season. Easily, my favorite anime of all time.

Watched it after Natural like many other, so it made me all sad to see Aika with her old hairstyle. Pouring salt on my wounds to seem my waifu in her former glory (not that she ain't cute anymore)

No matter what the length, as long as it is Aria, it never cease to freeze time and make me feel so relax, i've only discovered this episode thanks to the anime grap's recommendation lol.

Still the same daily life of the girl, still the same magnificent background and landscape, still the same elegant music, still the same "feel" at the highlight moment of the show, yet everything feel just like new. 8/10. Probably the last Aria anime edition for me, though it came out in the mid-way, so long Aria...
