I wouldn't mind another 10 seasons, can't get enough of Aria. It was really sad when it was over and there was no more :(

Feels corny to say it (I'm definitely not a corny person), but it saddens me to know that Aria is over for good, and I'll probably never see anything quite as great as it again. Absolutely wonderful anime, it's one of the very, very few that I've teared up at the end of.

As much as I would like to give this a 10, I am unable to because of the characters... I guess they never really stuck on me, and made me hate them on so many occasions. Usually I love anime that toy with my heart, but I think my gondola went a little overboard. I wish there was a little more romance involved with Akatsuki and not just forced in the end. I understand that this anime is not big on kisses, but I would have loved to see one.

It is with great pain that I enter this last episode as completed on MAL.. It has shown me a world that I feel privileged to have been a small part of. Words literally cannot describe the feelings I have felt throughout my time on Aqua. but those who who have watched it need no explanation.

I feel the exact same way. I almost didn't want to watch the last episode because of this, usually the last episodes don't do justice to the series but I couldn't have asked for a better one.. We will miss Aria, but we will always have our memories just as Akari will!

10/10

See you next time, on Aqua!

Maybe I teared a little, but not as much as when I watched Clannad =)

I want to see Akari, Aika and Alice become the top 3 primas! Make an OVA or something!

I feel quite depressed now that I've finished watching ARIA ... (Esp. with that message at the end.)

However I'm more surprised that Akari-san and Akatsuki-san didn't end up together. (I always thought they would. :o!)

Aria is not that great at personal drama. It's really much to saccharine to have any sort of deep emotional impact, and I liked it more when it was about enjoying the atmosphere of Neo Venezia. Ends without tears, or much of any reaction really, from me. Seeing grown up Akari was lovely though.


Same opinion here.
Not my type of anime, indeed. I'll just stay with the manga.

Very good, but not great finale for me.

The episode just seemed so FAST. Aika prima -> Akari prima -> Alicia retiring -> Alicia married (to who?) -> Athena retiring -> Ai as a new pair. That would be a lot for any show, and by Aria's standards that's almost more plot than the last 52 episodes.

Still, a very emotional episode, and I'm sad that this show is over.

a wonderful finish for a wonderful anime!
i truly believe that amano sensei could have continued this manga if she really wanted to; i mean it is so popular in japan. maybe it is better to leave it this way as a masterpiece instead of making a tasteless sequel.(like dragon ball GT.)
nevertheless it's a shame really, i really wanted to see the three girls as prima and see what type of apprentice they would have taken.

BTW i found on a website(forgot the name)a crazy theory that Alicia may have married with grandma!!!(her mentor who she deeply love.) well in the world of Aria it may happen.......NO WAY!!!

can you help me? i wonder where i could find any goodies, fan books or art books of Aria in Sydney-Australia? i am going there next year. i do not trust online stores.

The show is joy in its purest and most infectious form. I honestly feel that just watching it has made me a better person. <3 It changes your outlook on life and has the capacity to make cold people understand that it's ok to be warm and kind. The soundtracks uplift the spirit and can fix your mood whenever you're down. The scenery is breath-taking. Overall, the show is incomprehensibly beautiful. It may not be possible to wrap your head and heart around it having seen it only once. I've watched the touching parts of all the seasons 5 or 6 times already... and some of it is still too surreal.

I cried during the ending just like everyone else. I re-watched the Prima promotion scenes over and over. (I think the Alice one was more touching than the others by just a tiny bit.) Needless to say it was a spectacular last few episodes and one of the best anime endings I've ever seen. That said, I wish Aria didn't have an ending. I wish it kept going on forever past where Origination leaves off. I want to see what happens in the next few years.

I want to see Cait Sith come back to Aqua and become a regular part of Akari and Ai's lives. I want to see the 3 new primas come into their own and train their apprentices. I want to see who Alicia's husband is. And the one that some people might not agree with me on... if Akari starts dating someone, it makes more sense to me for it to be the chocolate vendor who runs the stall in the middle of the square... rather than Akatsuki. If it were possible for her to have a relationship with Cait Sith, I'd be all for it... but I'm not sure how that would work. I also wouldn't mind seeing what happens to the 3 Traghetto girls that Akari befriended.

...and in case you hadn't heard... in June 2009, the first woman in history has passed the exam to become an apprentice gondolier in venice. In the 900+ year tradition until now, it has been only men rowing gondolas. Her name is Giorgia Boscolo. Google her. She comes from a gondolier family and is apprenticing under her father. She is 23, married, and has 2 kids. She's wanted to be a gondalier since she was a little girl. It took her 3 tries (1 per year) to pass the exam. Now she will have to train hard to pass the exam to be a fully licensed gondoliera.

Now all we need to do is terraform mars. :D

Aria as a whole is definitely one of the best anime series I've ever had the pleasure of watching. My experience of the last two episodes was harmed by the horrible subs my dumbass watched, but still I cried like a baby.. for no telling how many times.

10/10, it hardly ever gets any better than this.

After giving the first two seasons 8/10 each, I didn't expect this 3rd season to be so amazing. I haven't cried or given a 10/10 since Clannad ~After Story~. In fact, I think this just might be worthy of my top 5.

Oh, and I was praying for Ai to be Akari's new apprentice since Aria the Natural. If the rest of the series hadn't been worthy of 10, that would have bumped it up.

Fantastic conclusion to an incredible series. The world of Aria was so brilliantly realized, it's a shame that it's over for good.

Aria the Origination is worth the hype and completely deserves its high rating on MAL.

Though I loved this series so much I had to hold my tears when it ended, I'll still give it 9, though I kinda feel like giving it 10.. Awesome series, awesome ending.

If we got 80% or higher let me know! :)

Best Anime ever.

This episode...is just...I don't know any words that can describe this one as this episode sure exceeds the "Son of a fucking gun what a lovely episode." expression. This Anime will definetely get a 10 for me. Heck I will even put it in my Favorite Anime list.

First of all, Alicia becoming married? Come on! As I said before no man is worth enough to marry you! I wonder who that guy is. Let me know his place and I'm going to murder his ass. It was too depressing to see Alicia leave Aria company. She traded her job as an Undine probably because her job as a professor pays a lot more, lol. Nah just kidding. <3

ALSO, THIS DESERVES A CAPS LOCK AS THIS MOMENT IS THE BEST FUCKING SON OF A GUN MOMENT EVER. THE LAST TWO MINUTES WAS JUST PURE EPIC FUCKING WIN. Okay first of all, Al grew bigger. Heck he's at the same height as Aika now, lol. Second, Damn it son grown up Akari and Ai were very fucking adorably incredibly absolutely lovely. HAVE YOU SEEN AKARI'S HAIR AND THAT EXPRESSION ON HER FACE WHILE SHE WAS LOOKING AI? DAMN IT FUCK SO FUCKING HOT. Now that hair is 1000x better than before.

Okay son, this Anime is a fucking beast. So fucking lovely why the fuck does this Anime only ranked 9. Fucking shit man this deserves a higher rank man.
