ARIA The BENEDIZIONE

Aria the Benedizione is a theatrical anime film in the Aria series, released in 2021. The story is set in Neo-Venezia, which has reached a long winter. Ai, Azusa, and Anya are practicing together in the cold weather when they visit the Undine Museum led by Akira, who seems out of sorts. At the museum, the trio meets Asuka, the director and Akira's senior, known as Himeya's legendary undine. The two of them are the successors to a gondola that has been carefully passed down since the founding of Himeya Company. However, Akira reveals that Aika, who is expected to inherit the gondola, has no intention of doing so. Azusa, unconvinced, tries to find out why. This film focuses on the undines of Himeya and is the final chapter of the Ao no Curtain Call trilogy, exploring the thoughts that connect the past, present, and future on the water planet.
