Random Anime Picture #89: Company


-ARIA the OVA: Arietta
It still gets me every time.  The combination of wonderful joy and quiet introspection (and occasional sadness) that is the ARIA franchise.  I was considering doing S01E01 for my next episodic writeup and found that I just couldn't.  It doesn't deserve it. 

The show isn't flawless, but the flaws are buried so deeply by the good that you don't care.  Or it's too slow-paced and sappy for you, one of the two.  That's okay, too.  It'll be waiting for a time that you need it.

1 It'd be hard to do an episode write-up for any given Aria installment anyway, since it's not a show where a lot happens, even in the "big" episodes.

And it works just fine that way, I hasten to add.
