I'd known that ADV pulled it after releasing three. But you got my hopes up about volume 4 and up I don't really mind though :P

This series gets the thumbs and feet up of approval in every way.

I hear there's going to be a second season of Aria...my source is animenewsnetwork

Athena is steadily climbing up the fav meter with ep11 . People keep underestimating her [with that perpetual dazed expression and inherent clumsiness], until she one ups everyone with some high savant musical abilities and some sharp insights into human relationships.

But her trick with the straw and paper had me laughing with a big dumb smile

That and her difficulties with the bridges had me chuckling. I really wish that she spoke more or, at the least, had more screen time. We certainly do see a lot of Alice, after all, but it doesn't seem like we get the level of representation from her mentor that we do from Aika and Akari (not that I dislike Alicia or Akira, of course).

Athena has to be my fav' character in the whole thing.. she's stole my heart so many times - and she's only been in two episode's upto episode 11! >.<

And speaking of episode 11.. i've never watch an episode of an anime that was so heartwarming, seriously amazing stuff.

Does anyone know of any Aria avatars that have been done, just before i go request some?

[Radiosity]

Hmm, good idea Angelsama.

This only one I have (so far) is this static avy that I made from Episode #1:



Cat ears of course.

[Radiosity]

K, been going through some of the eps and got some nice sequences of Akari, Aika and Alice (all the A's in this series isn't it ). Gonna find some nice Athena, Alicia and Akira sequences then start gif-izing them

I'm looking very much forward to seeing them, and glad you're going for all the character's.. don't forget President Aria. ^^

Worry not, I have a couple of sequences of the title character already There's a certain kitten with an appetite for munching on Aria that I'm going to do as well, assuming I can find a decent scene.

Hehe, i'm sure Maa shall make some pretty amazing avatars - but you just have to feel sorry for President Aria. ;_;

Okies, somewhat later than I anticipated thanks to windows being retarded and screwing up photoshop/ imageready Finally managed to get the program working again, so here are a few of the three main girls:





More to come when I get round to it

Hehe I started to tear up in ep 12, I don't know why, maybe I just like seeing the better part of humanity.

[Radiosity]

Ep12 was nice but it suffered from a severe lack of Alice (she be my favourite ). Still, an intriguing episode nonetheless.

[Aidan]

But you know,
ep 12 spoiler

Spoiler:

She was there or should I say her adult version of the past. The same goes for all the cast members, some were younger some were older, Alicia however was embodied as the teacher. At least this is just how I like to believe it was.

[Abbott]

Spoiler:

I felt the teacher was more like Akari.

According to ANS

1-24-06 (11:30AM EST)---- ARIA Season 2
"Aria The Animation Dai 2 Ki" (ARIA The ANIMATION Second Stage) will begin broadcast in Japan in April.

[Radiosity]

Spoiler:

Aye, I know there were pseudo-versions of them there (Aika and Akira as kids was funny), but it wasn't Alice herself. I've liked Alice from episode 3 onwards, right after her introduction. Just love her mode of speech (and I was laughing my ass off at the whole 'Sexy Dynamite' thing in the beach ep ).

edit for multiple w00tage on the second season news Huzzah, yet another awesome series to look forward to.
