Aria (2005)

Set on the picturesque planet Aqua, a haven of unparalleled beauty, the animated series 'Aria' introduces viewers to an enchanting water city called Neo Venezia. Renowned for the mesmerizing allure of its cityscape, Neo Venezia is brought to life by the Undines – professional gondoliers with a flair for guiding visitors through the city's shimmering canals. Central to the tale is Akari Mizunashi, an aspiring Undine with dreams as grand as the city itself. Working for a prestigious gondolier company, she spends her days striving to perfect her craft, captivated by the city's charm, and gradually unraveling the secrets of Aqua. Each new day brings a fresh wave of encounters, experiences, and revelations that add to the rich tapestry of her life. Alongside Akari are Aika and Alice, two other gondolier-in-training girls equally enchanted by the dream of becoming the finest gondoliers in all of Neo-Venezia. Their shared aspirations and experiences forge a bond of friendship that deepens as they navigate the magical streets of Neo Venezia together. From thrilling days at the festive Carnevale to quiet evenings basking in breathtaking sunsets, from crossing paths with unseen spirits to discovering unforeseen depths of their city – each day unfurls a new adventure for these three friends. 'Aria' is a delightful exploration of dreams, friendships, and the enchanting mystery of the water-covered planet Aqua.
