Aria the Origination English Sub & Dub

About Aria the Origination

Aria the Origination blends fantasy, sci-fi and shounen by Hal Film Maker (2008). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: In the 24th century on the planet Aqua, three girls—Akari Mizunashi, Alice Carroll, and Aika S. Granzchesta—continue to work hard toward achieving their goal of becoming Prima Undines: professional tour guide gondoliers.

Another thread: Luckily, the girls have the guidance of the three best Prima Undines in Neo-Venezia—Alicia Florence, Athena Glory, and Akira E. Ferrari—who are known as the "Water Fairies" in honor of their skill. With their help, the young apprentices train hard and work to overcome any situations that they find themselves in.

In a fantasy series like this, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. This one is best suited to fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds.
