Aria (manga): Difference between revisions

* [[Darkskinned Blonde]]: Athena, though she has purple hair.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Alice, and occasionally Aika when dealing with Akari's wide-eyed idealism.

* [[Dojikko]]: Athena, despite being an excellent undine and a great singer.

* [[Earth That Used to Be Better]]: Though tourists are apparently happy to return home, in some cases unimpressed with the beauty of Aqua, it's made clear in dialogue that this applies. Until she comes to Aqua, Ai has never seen a blue sky, and Akari comments that back home she couldn't go in the ocean or dig in the soil like she does on Aqua, and, most importantly for the series, Venice flooded a couple centuries ago.

* [[Theme Naming]]: Pretty much all the characters' names start with A; also a partial example of [[Theme Initials]]. It can get pretty confusing sometimes, especially when there are some characters with very similar sounding names. (Alice and Alicia break the [[One Steve Limit]], for example.)

** On a smaller scale, all three Himeya Company undines named have a Japanese-sounding given name (Aika, Akira, and Ayumi), a middle initial, and a non-Japanese family name.

* [[Twelve-Episode Anime|Thirteen Episode Anime]]: Both ''The ANIMATION'' and ''The ORIGNIATION'' (Season One and Season Three) are thirteen episodes in length. Whereas, ''AIRA THE NATURAL'', Season Two, is twenty-six episodes.

* [[Time Travel]]: {{spoiler|Akari does this by crossing a bridge to witness the birth of Neo-Venezia}}, complete with age shifted versions of much of the main cast. Like a lot of the weird stuff in the series, cats are involved. And there's a bit about a letter delivered from the past. It's not really time-travel, but the effect is much the same, as Akari is pulled into an odd bubble of space/time by the woman's cat-as-little-girl so that the letter could finally be delivered.
