 The official website of the Aria anime series revealed staff, a teaser visual (pictured), and a teaser trailer for the Aria the Crepuscolo anime film on Wednesday. The anime film, originally scheduled for Winter 2020, will now open in theaters in Spring 2021. The project is commemorating the television anime's 15th anniversary. Staff Chief Director, Script: Junichi Satou (Aria the Animation, Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu) Director: Takahiro Natori (Aria the Avvenire assistant director) Character Design, Chief Animation Director: Youko Itou (Amanchu!) Music: Choro Club feat. Senoo (Aria the Origination) Studio: J.C.Staff Production: Shochiku Distribution: Shochiku ODS Business Office Voice actresses Ryou Hirohashi (Working!!) and Ai Kayano (3-gatsu no Lion) are reprising as Alice Carroll and Anya Dostoyevskaya from the previous anime installments. Rina Satou (Toaru Kagaku no Railgun) is replacing the late Tomoko Kawakami as Athena Glory. The anime series adapts Kozue Amano's sci-fi slice of life manga, which originally began in Enix's Monthly Stencil under the title Aqua in January 2001. The manga transferred to Comic Blade with the new title Aria the following February. Mag Garden published the manga in 14 compiled volumes, selling a cumulative 4.2 million copies. Hal Film Maker produced three anime seasons and an original video animation in Fall 2005, Spring 2006, Fall 2007, and Winter 2008. The latest anime installment by TYO Animations, Aria the Avvenire, debuted in September 2015. Teaser Trailer Source: animate Times |

| Maybe it is because I watched it a long time ago but I don't remember who is that tall, tanned woman in the middle with the long pink hair and the big tits. Is she someone new appearing just in the movie? Don't tell me that that is the character design of the old Akari, that would be... not much to my liking. |

| Planning to jump on the hype bandwagon next month so it’s great timing for me! Not surprised in the slightest seeing J.C. Staff will be handling this but here’s to hoping that this’ll be on the “hit” side of the spectrum. We haven’t been seeing that en masse as of late sadly, after all. |

Remember Athena - the one with the incredible singing voice? That's her. She's just not in her uniform because this is after the series where she stopped being a undine and became an opera singer. Remember this: Sadly anything we get of her will likely be only a recording because both of her voice actresses (the actual VA and the singer responsible for the songs) have already died. |

The tanned woman is Athena from Orange Planet. Akari is on the lefthand side. The left three are Aria Company, middle three are Orange Planet, and the right three are Himeya.

Thanks, that makes sense. Athena had a short cut hair in my memories of her that is why I couldn't identify her in the poster. |

| Horror...horror I tell ye, Alicia start shrinking!!! |

| Hope it's gonna be a great movie |
 |
| This looks beautiful, can't wait for it to come out |
 |
| Looking forward to this! More Aria related stuff are always welcome. |
 |
| Can't wait to get back to Neo Venezia. Girls are looking beautiful as ever. |
| Oh no, not JCS. HFM was impressively dedicated to this series while JCS is mostly animation equivalent of junk food. |

Asturaetus said: Sadly anything we get of her will likely be only a recording because both of her voice actresses (the actual VA and the singer responsible for the songs) have already died. It weas already announced that despite using pre-records for Avvenire, they re-casted her for the movie. Though, the singing will be still pre-recorded probably as the singer who sang all songs also died. Antanaru said: Oh no, not JCS. HFM was impressively dedicated to this series while JCS is mostly animation equivalent of junk food. They did a good job with Amanchuu (another work by the same mangaka and director). I presume, the main reason they changed the studio is because Jun'ichi Sato went freelance after the previous studio was sold to Graphinica and producers wanted him to work on this one. |

| Any Aria is good Aria. I can't even imagine how badly a studio would need to mess up in order to make it bad. Either way, the director and music composer are the same, so it should be the same quality in those respects. For the animation and art, based off the teaser trailer, there shouldn't be much to worry about. Can't wait to see what Aria the Crepusculo does to add to the characters and lore. |
 |
| Seems like Alice will be the center of focus so I'm triple hyped now! |
Use your brain before using your keyboard!  |
| Nice we finally got a teaser trailer but as expected it got a short delay apparently due to tthe virus but that was to be expected. I'm really looking forward to have another journey in this beautiful world. |

todd2580 said: their movies have better schedules than their tv series so i think there's no worry although there's a chance the epidemic will affect it though. also the director worked with JC before so it'll be easy to gather his friends on it since some of them worked on the series before and some of them worked with JC in 2010s. It is affected already as it was pushed from December. |

| BEAUTIFUL as always |
 |
| that cover picture is great, also a flashback to my favorite episode ever |
| Thank God they got Choro Club and Juniichi Satou back for this. The main reason why this anime adaptation even works is the unearthly soundtrack and deeply researched Venice setting. I was kind of hoping for more un-aired Navigation content, like they did with Arietta but I guess an original story is also fine. I still don't get the appeal of adult Alice, though. Without the dekkai spam she's just a brat. |
