 The stage greeting event commemorating the premiere of Aria the Crepuscolo anime film announced a new anime titled Aria the Benedizione on Friday. The new anime marks the third and final installment in the Ao no Curtain Call (Blue Curtain Call) trilogy, following Aria the Avvenire and Aria the Crepuscolo.  Takahiro Natori (Aria the Avvenire assistant director) helmed the film at J.C.Staff, with chief director and scriptwriter Junichi Satou (Aria the Animation). Youko Itou (Amanchu!) served as both the character designer and chief animation director. The film commemorated the television anime's 15th anniversary.The anime series adapts Kozue Amano's sci-fi slice of life manga, which originally began in Enix's Monthly Stencil as Aqua in January 2001. The manga switched to Comic Blade with the new title Aria the following February. Mag Garden published the manga in 14 compiled volumes, selling a cumulative 4.2 million copies. Hal Film Maker adapted the manga into three anime seasons and an original video animation in Fall 2005, Spring 2006, Fall 2007, and Winter 2008. TYO Animations produced the Aria the Avvenire special in September 2015. ADV Manga published the first three volumes of Aria in English in 2004 before dropping the license. Tokyopop acquired the license for both Aqua and Aria in 2006 and 2007 and released eight volumes in total before discontinuing its publication in 2010. The company began publishing a collector's edition of two-in-one omnibuses in March 2019 and shipped the seventh and final omnibus volume last December. The manga has also been published in multiple foreign languages. Right Stuf Inc. licensed the anime series under its Nozomi Entertainment label in North America in 2008 and released the first season on DVD in September that year. The second season shipped in two DVD volumes the following January and March. The third season, including the original video animation, was released in March 2010. The company ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to English dub all the anime installments in 2017 and released the first three anime series on Blu-ray between March and June last year.

| Yay! :) Can’t wait for this. đź’™ |
 |
| I'm already looking forward to watch Crepuscolo and now this. It's so nice to be an Aria fan lately. |
 |
| More Aria stuff is always welcome. This franchise is in my top 5, cant wait for more! |
 |
| Hopefully this will be a worthy end to the franchise and not a attempt at hyping on old franchise in the era of sequels and remales. |
 |
| AAAAA Yes absolutely yes, thank you. |
 |
| More Aria is always welcomed. |
 |

KinoSpiegel said: I'm grateful they are releasing a new aria series but at the same time a little bit sad, I don't know the meaning of "aoi no curtain call" but I'm guessing it means, well, the curtain call of the series. I'm very grateful for all the good memories it has given me and I wish it ends gracefully and in peace. Yeah, I feel kind of the same. The series was great and it had an actual end, it could have ended with Origination. Having it end feels so sad though when it meant so much. It's nice to see a continuation but Avenire didn't really live up to the original series in my book. Now there are two more movies/specials I'm looking forward to, but at the same time dreading when I've watched them that's it? No more Aria ever? :( |
