Aria the Origination
DVD - Collection
Fear not, though; Aria approaches its forward-gazing narrative with the same quiet grace and eye for cinematic poetry that it brought to its uplifting mission in previous seasons. From the Arietta OVA that begins this set the series features a renewed focus on professional maturation that is pure Junichi Sato: so quiet, natural and seamlessly integrated into the series' visual and narrative rhythm that when it precipitates the first of a series of major life changes it's some time before you realize that he had been building to them all along. The feelings the series leaves you with are similarly constructed: gentle emotions built of little things—comments and tiny psychological revelations—whose full import only becomes clear when they swell together at the series' poignant conclusion.
