Looking to the future...

I just watched the last episode of ARIA the ORIGINATION. Well, i know it's kinda late to watch it now but since I was kinda busy before I can't watch it.
It felt so great watching the last episode. I really love the series and the characters, but on the other hand seeing your favorite show ended always make you a bit sad.
But, no matter, it is great that the series ended with the main character (Akari) leaving his past and looking forward for the future and a new beginning. Seeing that made me thinks about my own condition, since I just finished my test. My 2nd year in high school is about to end. It's kinda same, I don't know how my next year in high school will be, and to be truth I got a little sad & scared about leaving my 2nd year, but seeing the last episode of ARIA made me realized that it maybe the end of my 2nd year but, it's going to be a new beginning to another episode of my life. That is why even though the future is a mystery, but new things always awaits us in the future.
Thank you Kozue Amano-sensei for ARIA. I will never forget ARIA tone of always enjoying life. Thank you...

A review on ARIA




ARIA is a anime and manga series created by Kozue Amano. The anime has 3 season which will soon ended following the end of the manga series. It is a series I really like.
The series follows the story of a young Undine (gondolier or water guide) trainee named Akari Mizunashi in the city of Neo-Venezia.
Each chapter (Called Navigation) tell us the story of the young Undine everyday life which consist of her training with her fellow Undine trainee and friend (Aika & Alice), taking a walk at the city, guiding people trough the canal of Neo-Venezia, going to a picnic, etc.
The story is presented nicely and the art is beautiful. The details of Neo-Venezia city are drawn very nicely which make this series became a beautifully created piece of art.
The anime got a very soothing music which make a nice pair while you are drinking you morning coffee.The music for the anime suit the series very much and I highly recommend the soundtrack (each one of them!).
It is a heart-warming series with slice of life themed story and lovable characters.
