I also totally love the backround music, one of the best I've heard in slice of life animes.. I also keep the songs in my mp3 player, relaxes me when taking exams and in classes. The only annoyance is the "puhi puhi" by president aria. But Maa is just win^^ I’m in natural at the moment, found this in your earlier review “aria is like taking a nap” and it inspired me to watch it.

Is this true for Natural as well? I kinda liked the original one better - that mainly concerns eyes. By the way, I noticed that the drawing style changed a bit compared to the Animation.

I didn't care for the genre until I watched Touch 3-4 years ago, and since then, although I've enjoyed watching several slice-of-life shows, there are only a few that I'd strongly recommend. Enjoying slice-of-life anime is all about finding a character you like. If you can't find one, you'll probably be bored. I'm a huge Alice/Athena fan. The rest of the cast isn't bad, but for me, Alice and Athena push the Aria franchise from the + to the ++ range. I decided to write this page from Athena's POV because she doesn't get enough respect: 1. She's not clumsy, she's just lazy (she even admits it in this episode). 2. She gets by far the least screen time of the 6 undines. 3. Fans often treat her like a one-dimensional character. I think she's the most complex. Long story short, Athena rules, and I'd marry her. She shares my fondness for slacking and pizza: http://hontouni.com/souomou/2008/02/12/aria-the-origination-6 Plus she has a job. Nothing turns me on like financial stability.

Never got around to watching the Natural and (eventually) the Origination. The anime kicks ass, true, but maybe slice-of-life just isn't my type of anime - after all, I prefer things like Ghost in the Shell... However, now that we have easter holidays here in Norway, I just may consider watching it. Also, Baka-Raptor, nice job writing an article from an anime character's POV.
