The journey in ARIA may be over for a lot of us, but it’s definitely a new beginning for many to come. This is something that I was hoping for and it’s finally here. ARIA has been licensed. Of course it’s not just the first season, ARIA The Animation, but it includes ARIA The Natural, ARIA The OVA ~Arietta~, and the third season ARIA The Origination. Oh happy days~~
One of the bets things about the news of this release is that TRSI will be releasing this as a complete boxset rather than individual volumes but as well as only having Japanese audio track and English subtitles. I must say this is certainly good news as I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to handle hearing an English dub of my all time favourite series. The first boxset will be released in September 2008, luckily it’s after my Japan trip, but now that I know there is a US release inbound, it makes me wonder if I should still buy the Japanese DVDs.
So once again, I shall make the trip to Neo-Venezia this year, thank you TRSI and Nozomi Entertainment.

Well it’s the long weekend for me here in Australia, and it’s a prime time to do some catch up on the backlog of figures. So I hope I can get through a lot of them in the next few days. This figure would have to be one of the most anticipated figures for 2007 after seeing the promotion pictures for it. Of course this figure is a big welcome to my ever-growing ARIA merchandise kingdom but by far would have to be one of the best items out of them all. So hit the jump to check out more photos for Max Factory’s Alicia Florence.

With ARIA having finished for good, it certainly has brought about many tears that we will never again see the magic of Neo-Venezia and it’s inhabitants. Although the manga and anime has finished, it still lives on, in the form of merchandise! When was the last ARIA-related merchandise post?? I don’t remember. Anyway these actually arrived about two weeks ago and have been sitting on the ever growing pile of loot, so I figured it’s time to have a look at what’s inside. Hit the jump to check out what’s inside Monthly Undine Vol 4-6.

With the ARIA The ORIGINATION anime set to air tonight, I thought that this would be an appropriate post to get the ARIA fans all geared up for it. Not to mention a few of you have been waiting for me to post this up. So having taken the time to take pictures last night in the somewhat grueling heat that is an Australian summer, here it is, ARIA Premium Poster Book 3! Hit the jump to check out the other pictures.

So far my holidays have been pretty average, but as I mentioned before, I do squeeze in time to do figure photography, and this one was definitely long overdue. Ever since this one figure arrived, I’ve been itching to go out and take photos of her, but alas my time is rather restricted during the weekends. With the help of good friend Roobar, I finally managed to what was going to be the largest photo shoot to date. And so I present to you, the last in the ARIA figures released by Solid Works, Athena Glory. Hit the jump to check out the rest of the photos.

Now of course, when they release a desktop calendar, there will always be a wall calendar, and this year is no exception. Having ordered it together with the 2008 Desktop calendar, I was greatly anticipating what the 2008 wall calendar holds. Having enjoyed immensely what the 2007 wall calendar had, I could only speculate that it would be just as awesome. So hit the jump to check out the photos.

Having got wind of this a few months ago, I couldn’t resist ordering the ARIA 2008 Desktop Calendar given that the 2007 version was just so cute. Plus it’ll be added to my ever growing ARIA merchandise collection. So how much has changed over the one year in Amano Kozue’s style? Well hit the jump to check out the photos to see what art work has been included in the 2008 version.
