Lyrics for the full versions of UNDINE and RAINBOW have been added to the ARIA the Animation section.

(Unfortunately I am not able to provide the full versions. Please support ARIA by buying the official CDs!)

Yes! I have added information about the anime!!!:) (there's not much right now, but there IS an updated cast list, a link to the official site). I plan to put up episode summaries and screenshots soon!

I got the first 3 volumes of Amano-sensei's Crescent Noise off eBay - the Japanese editions (which are a good bit bigger than I expected). However! at the back of vol 3 it says "To Be Continued in Vol 4."O_O As it is said, Cripes.

Just checked in on aria.sunnyday.jp to find that the site has been significantly reduced. The message on the front says, in effect, that Amano-sensei has been too busy to manage the site and even has fallen behind on fan letters, and is cutting back. There's no other meaning to this (sweatdrop for emphasis) and Amano-sensei would like to keep renewing information briskly.

Kawaiiso Amano-sensei! Odaijini kudasai!

(Status of the site: All the finished color artwork has been removed, although the rough sketches are still up. The photogallery is still up.)

Wow, 2 news updates in a day! :)

Comic Blade has confirmed that they are reprinting Amano-sensei's Roman Club series starting in August. Either it's 2 volumes a month or 1 volume every two months, I need to check my grammar.^^; The new sketches on her site (in the Gallery) are for the new covers. I was a bit confused when I saw the first one, because it had the Aria manga cover template (with "2301 AD The Voyage to Neo Venezia" at the top). I was wondering if that boy was the one Akari had been writing to.XD

It appears that ADV is involved in the production of the anime in some way.

I found this in a staff listing [credit: F.A.T.] One of the entries for Aria is simply "Mag Garden x AD Vision", which doesn't say very much, but it is certainly telling.

Other info I was able to see: the debut is scheduled for Fall 2005, and a broadcaster has not yet been determined. Also of note: many of the staff, including director Junichi Sato, worked on Kaleido Star.

Comic Blade finally has the current issue listed on its site (the one with the Aria cover). I'm going to LA for Anime Expo next month, and my 2 main goals are:
1) Get that issue of Comic Blade
2) Shake down any ADV executives I see for info about vol 4
3) Look for info on the anime

I'm beginning to wonder if the Aria anime will debut this summer. I didn't see anything about it at the Tokyo Anime Fair, and I was looking. Two months between the announcement and debut seems really short. Then again, the Tsubasa Chronicle anime was formally announced only a couple months before its debut, and nobody seemed to know before then that it was even in production. (The downside is that the Tsubasa anime is really not that great...XD)
