Aria the Animation

It’s a pastel-coloured world where there are no shadows and everybody’s nice to each other. The basic problem is that the characters are basically happy people with no problems, and no desires that need filling, which means there’s no drama or even emotional identification. There was some emotion in the episode where one girl decides to “punish” her left hand, and in the last couple of episodes, but it’s too little, too late. Go for Haibane Renmei, Someday’s Dreamers, Strawberry Marshmallow, or Figure 17, instead.
