In a continuation of the last series, Akari Mizunashi continues her job as a gondolier along with her friends from the other two rival companies, Aika and Alice. As they continue their training to become Undines, they continue to meet new people and partake on mysterious adventures, all in the quiet, scenic, and peaceful city of Neo Venezia.
Aria the natural does have some second season problems but its quality stays pretty much the same as the first season. It's very relaxing to watch and on more than one occasion made me think about how to better my life.
The story is not really special. Some of the science fiction parts don't make sense and in my opinion they over used some mysteries. Most of Aria the Natural's problems are caused by the fact that its 26 episodes. It started out good and ended really well but as many 'longer' shows (especially sequels) the middle had some more boring moments.
This series forte is probably the atmosphere created and the conversations or to be more precise, the thoughts of the main character.
The animation is a bit old and it sometimes annoyed me.
I often started watching an episode frustrated by the work I was doing but after just 20 min of Aria I was completely destressed and full of hope to continue work.
Especially the last episode blew me away. It made me think about what I wanted to do with my life and were I was going. Can't say many anime have done that to me :D
