Review
Aria the Avvenire is an experience to be bathed in rather than a show to be merely watched. Diving deep into the heart of this masterpiece, one cannot help but lose themselves. Every stroke of the oar in the sparkling water of the canals, every vista around the terraformed city, every soft rococo and Venetian touch, transports the viewers into a serene trance. The attention to detail here is phenomenal.
The character development is handled elegantly, with each of the primary trio getting equal screen-time. Their musings, tiny adventures, and interactions paint a realistic and relatable picture. They are fleshed out and grow in maturity episode by episode, making them feel alive. The range of supporting characters, both human and feline, add depth to the narrative and bridge the past with the future.
Aria’s music is something of a marvel in itself. The dreamy, soothing scores emanating from the Accordion and Violin beautifully accentuate the calm and tranquil atmosphere of Neo-Venezia. Cinematic soundscapes are crafted to perfection and gently nudge the viewers into a state of blissful contentment. The seamless blend of animation and sound is a testament to Aria the Avvenire’s unparalleled excellence.
On the negative side, Aria might not appeal to fans looking for an action-packed series or thrill. It excels in its gentle pace, reflective moments, and peaceful ambiance that grows on you gradually. The series is like a treasure trove of wisely woven tales that resonate with many.
To wrap up, Aria the Avvenire is a beautifully composed love letter to life and friendship. A tranquil journey that is sure to mesmerize viewers, with enchanting scenes and a beautiful score, it excels in delivering an ethereal experience. Whether to rent, buy or stream, this series is definitely worth a shot. Dive into the serene world of Neo-Venezia and let the beauty of Aria’s intricate storytelling sweep you off your feet. And remember: as Ai would say, “Everything is wonderful!”.
