This just came to my attention via a friend on IRC, via moonphase.
A third Aria TV series, ARIA The ORIGINATION. Fuck yes. Official announcement will be in the October issue of Comic Blade as you can see. I assume that will include more details, because all we can tell from this is that it’s happening, and that somewhere between the upcoming OAV and this third season Akari becomes smoking hot. 
OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY
I actually watched through both seasons of ARIA, and this is VERY good news indeed. I hope the Arietta OAV will tide me over until then…
By the way, I noticed that Akari still has her singles glove. I thought it was pretty much hinted by Alicia at the end of The Natural that she was going to be a prima soon?
I don’t know, I’ve got the last few episodes of The Natural stashed for a rainy day. Stuff as relaxing and lovely as Aria must be treasured.
Any details exposed on the Anrietta OAV? The only one I’ve seen so far is the promo picture, showing a casual-clothed Akari being brought by gondola to ARIA Company.
As far as I know, Arietta is supposed to be about Akari’s arrival on Aqua and starting out as an Undine and stuff. But I don’t know if that’s true, that’s just what I’ve heard.
It screens on Japanese TV on Sunday so we’ll soon find out for sure.
