I just finish the first episode, scanned through the rest. I don't think I've ever wanted to drop a show this badly in my life before. Honestly, this show is just so terrible beyond description. I had somewhat high expectations considering it's ranked 8th; obviously, I was horribly deceived by the ratings.

They do nothing all Anime except talk to the dumb cat and bake cakes...

How is this ranked #8 again?

That's exactly what made me want to watch it. The art looked really great, plus it was ranked #8, so I figured why not? I was shocked at how terrible it was.

Maybe some people prefer ambiance over a distinct plot. Aria may not have the deepest of stories, but it is still very well written, and the presentation of the source material is top-notch down to the soundtrack.

I agree that it was pretty shit.. But it wasn't the worst. It made me happy~ :D

But yes, you sort of have to like slice of life to like it.

Aria was just reaaaaaaally boring to tears.

Maybe you should look at my profile on whatever my anime preferences are.
I think it would be better to ask: What don't I like about the show.
It's pretty much perfect in every way, other than somewhat poor animation the first season.

Obviously, it's somewhat more coherent than shows like Code Geass.

You dont like it, that's fine. I myself havent watched it, and dont plan either. The reason why it's ranked #8 is because the majority of those who have watched it like it. There is your answer, now gtfo.

And did you even see any of the prior two seasons?

Ok well, that may have been somewhat biased, but as far as I could see, I skipped to episode 11 and saw that for a bit, it was still exactly the same. Nothing had changed.

It's like a book. The opening is supposed to grab your attention from the start, then slowly progress. Look at my anime list I almost NEVER drop an anime, even if I hate it. I'm an open-minded person and enjoys seeing the result of a good or bad anime. This was just a new level of low.

I think you're missing the point here.
There does not have to be change in a situation to make something good.
It is exactly this lack of change, lack of drama, that makes this show so wonderful.

Ah well, reply back once you've grown up somewhat.

The only thing I can agree with you is that loli is shitty, but just because a member here likes loli doesn't mean he has no other tastes in anime, and therefore gives him bad taste. You're being an ass.

From what I could gather this anime is the last season, which probably makes more sense as to why you didn't understand the story, seeing as you haven't seen the prequels.

7 is average to me. 8 is above average.

7/10 = C = average

Any show that I watch that isn't a pile of shit will get at least a 6, which in the end doesn't really matter because my scores are still all comparative to each other. Better shows still get better scores (better being my opinion).

Actually nothing other than the endless spawning ground of memes. I had quite a bit of fun with it, but could never take it seriously. Geass really is on the opposite end of the stick as Aria. However, I don't understand how you could give Geass a 10. Nothing was wrong with it, but nothing was really that good either.

Then why are you watching anime at all? Take a walk through the park and you'll get the level of excitement and suspense this anime gives you.

One watches anime to enjoy themselves in something that isn't possible in their life. Other examples of this (not anime) are reality shows, dramas, etc.

After looking at your top rated, I've come to the conclusion that it's because you have a distinct lack of a sense of subtlety. Wait until you get to the point where execution becomes more important than content before you go spouting off about things you don't know.
This is a serious post. You're not allowed to delete it.

Aria manages to produce a state of peace in the mind as no other show does. The little reflections from Akira every episode on what she has learned that day shows compassion of heart, Carpe Diem and whatnot. It is a show thatc ertainly would not interest many people (hint: look at the number of people that have watched it), but for those that have matured enough, it can provide something that shonen anime lacks. Depth.

I saw no flaws in it at all. The storyline was perfected to last detail (especially the ending). The characters drastically changed throughout the story (especially Suzaku). The implantation of ideas was basically ideal because there were flaws in them as well, which created suspense.

The only small flaw I saw was the lack of romance, but that was not a large enough factor to dock it down 1 point.

"7 is average to me. 8 is above average.

7/10 = C = average"

lol this guy I know says the exact same thing. Looks like we might as well edit the entire ranking system just for you people. 5 is average, 7 is good. It's even clearly labeled when you rate an anime.
