I will be direct any trivial information will be removed/reverted.
That includes: Characters Height, Blood Type, Astrological Sign, Number of Oars Blade are not necessary to understand the plot and not necessary to understand character psychology. I'm certain some editors would have added the characters 3 sizes if they were available.
Second even if you don't agree of the trivial and unnecessary nature of those facts and want to dispute that point, i will still remove them because you don't assert them with a reliable source and thus those fact are not verified. Thus not verified not in the article basis. -- KrebMarkt 07:45, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

The dumb idea : We need a line or two about the covers of the Aria series being draw on Landscape format. Even if it's obvious for those who know the manga it remains one of its singularities. It's a relevant fact for people that know nothing about Aria.
Another graphic we could justify including: a photo of a Venice location (we should be able to find something in WikiCommons, I bet) and Neo-Venezia's equivalent (either anime or manga). Especially once we beef up the Development section with more on how the fictional city was based on the real one. — Quasirandom ( talk) 15:03, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
So talking with editor who did the most recent assessment, our next step should be to fill in the development/production section with info on Amano's inspirations and how Sato went about adapting the series. If we do this, we'll be a solid B. Then once we finish cleaning up the sections and filling in the important mechandizing details, I suspect we'll be ready for a peer review from someone who's taken articles to GA, to help us figure out how to manage this imperfectly structured mass of information (as in, what to spin out and how to improve the rest). — Quasirandom ( talk) 14:43, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Just as a note for myself if nothing else, the next thing to do after manga summaries and getting Development up to snuff is a thorough edit of the character descriptions. In addition to a solid copyedit for tone, several statements about personalities need to be (and can be) sourced to third-party reviews. (At least they're reasonable in scope right now, rather than recapitulating their plot roles and endless stats.) — Quasirandom ( talk) 14:57, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Oh, one other thing we need to do: scrub the ANN encyclopedia citations (such as all the voice actor references). — Quasirandom ( talk) 21:32, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
For development :
Here's another: in the omake afterward to the original Enix edition of Aqua volume 2 (dated January 2002), which was not included in Tokyopop's translation of the Mag Garden reprint, Amano talks about her goal in writing the series. Transcribing from the fan translation of the page, after mentioning her number one wish is for everyone to be happy, she goes on: "For some reason, bad memories remain longer than good ones. You start to think how unlucky you are. It could be that because you neglect to recognize your happiness, you end up focused on your failures. I wrote this Aqua to let you all find that small "happiness" and to make you think. After you've read my work, if there are people who were able to find that "happiness", it would make me the happiest person out there." It's not her inspiration, exactly, but still -- Development gold. — Quasirandom ( talk) 01:58, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
More omake goodness: in the afterward to Aria v1 (which Tokyopop did translate), Amano says that Fushimi Inari-taisha outside Kyoto was her model of the shrine in the Sun Shower chapter, Navigation 04. — Quasirandom ( talk) 02:10, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
If you were to digest the information about the anime adaptation, especially the research trip to Venice bit, that'd be enough to remove the stub-section tag, getting us up to a solid B article. There's more to learn and add, as further volumes and seasons are released, but we'll have a good start. And more than most B-class articles have. — Quasirandom ( talk) 03:46, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Okay, we know Amano named Aria and Hime after her two cats (see omake to Aria 3, for example), and I've heard that she brought the series to an end after they died. Do we have a source for that last? — Quasirandom ( talk) 01:12, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
A must have in the development is that in Arietta OVA, Alicia should have stated why she recruited Akari in the draft version of the scenario but it didn't make it in the final form. Junuchi Saito said something like that in the bonus interview of Arietta. Some fans were upset as it is one unanswered question in both manga & anime. We just have to wait for the Nozomi Arietta release to have a WP:RS-- KrebMarkt 05:57, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Aria vol 7 omake, French edition, Amano describe how she reacted when she was informed that Aqua/Aria would be adapted in anime :
- At first she thought it was an impossible case (in French affaire impossible)
- she was swayed by the fact that it would a tv broadcast and not an OVA.
- Even more when learned that Junuchi Saito, she likes so much would direct the anime adaptation.
- But Amamo still believed that stories like that won't happen or it won't reach fruition (in French aboutir).
- Later she regretted her lack of enthusiasm
- She was very happy to receive during a month projects, scripts & drawings (from the anime studio). She savored every second of that period
- When she meet Saito, she understood that he wanted to give a deeper meaning to the anime.
Comment: crazy omake where Amano crammed so many information in 2 pages. --

Updated -- KrebMarkt 18:50, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
Graphiquement, l’auteur a clairement voulu souligner cette ambiance lente et paisible. Autour de personnages séduisants et bien campés, les décors sont aussi éthérés que détaillés. L’eau envahit jusqu’aux maisons, laissant apercevoir en son fond d’anciennes barques envahies par les algues et la faune locale. Aucune faute de goût, donc, pour un volume décidemment plaisant…
Qu’il est agréable de se poser parfois, une boisson fraîche à la main, et de déguster un manga paisible et bucolique. Ici, pas de méchant, pas de combats, même les actions évoluent au rythme de la ville : flottantes et imprécises. Et c’est bien là toute la justesse de ce titre, dont l’aspect très vie de tous les jours peut dérouter autant que séduire. À classer quelque part entre Yotsuba & et Yokohama Kaidashi Kikô.
Et au final, ces historiettes à fleur d’eau, juchées sur des gondoles, confinent à une simplicité et une pureté si totale que le lecteur en sort soit profondément ennuyé, soit résolument charmé.
Totalement hors du commun, Aria creuse son propre style, lent, bucolique et apaisant, et laisse la frénésie à ses concurrents. À découvrir, en se munissant évidemment des deux volumes de Aqua.
on entre sans difficulté dans cette merveille que nous apporte Kozure Amano. La série est résolument positive et drôle. Magnifiquement illustrée pour un chef d’œuvre de simplicité. Que du bonheur à lire et à faire partager.
Aqua est le genre de manga qui attire rien qu'en voyant la couverture.
Aqua n'a d'intérêt que par ses dessins vraiment magnifiques il faut le reconnaître.
Aqua étant présenté comme une introduction à Aria, espérons que cette dernière saura captiver l'attention des lecteurs avec un peu de mouvement côté histoire.
Je pense que certains pourront y trouver leur compte s'ils ont juste envie de passer le temps de manière agréable et reposante sans même espérer un vrai scénario.
Pour les autres, je pense que cette série ne leur apportera pas grand chose...mis à part des dessins à contempler sans retenue.
Ne vous attendez pas à tomber sur un scenario de science-fiction profond, car il n'en est rien. L'histoire, très simple et secondaire, est surtout un prétexte pour montrer l'évolution et les aventures d'une jeune demoiselle attachante, dans une ville bordée de toutes parts par les eaux, de son univers mystérieux, de ses ruelles, ses canaux, ses traditions... tout est fait pour que le lecteur s'évade dans ce monde calme, magnifique et poétique. Et les somptueux dessins de Kozue Amano remplissent parfaitement leur rôle.
Aqua ne brille pas par son scénario, loin de là , il s'agit avant tout d'une oeuvre fraiche, légère et poétique qui invite au rêve. Une oeuvre atypique à laquelle tout le monde n'accrochera pas, mais qui est à mon avis à essayer.
Aqua est la prequel d'Aria, mais est un oeuvre qui peut se suffire à elle-même. Alors, pour seulement 2 tomes, laissez-vous tenter par le voyage sur Neo-Venezia que vous propose ce manga atypique. Et si ça vous plait, vous pourrez faire durer le plaisir avec Aria. En ce qui me concerne, je suis conquis.
Comment: There are more reviews and coverage available like the dossier on Aria on Manga News.com but we have time :p -- KrebMarkt 18:34, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
First a Mea Culpa. I hadn't noticed that people wanted me to discuss before changing the page. My bad.
Now on to the salient points:
Akari writes in her penultimate letter in volume 12 of the manga (of which I have only read the Chinese version):
"One day, yes, one day, I believe I will meet the you I have never seen before."
And granted Cait Sith is reading these words on his laptop at the time, but surely Akari isn't referring to him? I mean, she's met him tons of times before.
She goes on to write:
"If you do come to Aqua, to Neo Venecia, please do travel on the gondola where I am now a Prima." And then she ends with the date and her signature.
And directly below this, there are various pictures of random people reading holo-webpages from their laptop, as if they are reading what she wrote.
So thats why I changed the page from Cait Sith to readers of her blog. I mean Cait Sith is one of the readers of her blog, but he isn't the only recipient of her messages.
So thats my reason for wanting to write readers of her blog, why do people want to keep it as Cait Sith? (I mean, whats his e-mail address? CaitSith@neverneverland.com? ;) ) -- Prototype00 ( talk) 22:31, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Circling back to this, with the last chapter finally scanlated in English with a translation that omits the part that Akari calls her penpal someone she's never seen before, expect increased attempts to add to the article that her penpal is Cait Sith. Watchful eyes. — Quasirandom ( talk) 22:05, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

BTW, I'm wondering whether the Alicia-as-heavy-drinker comment was an extrapolation from a comment in chapter 40, where Akira complains (in small type) about Alicia's holding her alcohol better than her.

So at the moment, we use the officially unreliable encyclopedia portion of ANN in two ways:
I'm assuming we can find a way to replace the first with references to the AriaCompany website (possibly cannibalizing those on the list of episodes), or possibly to reviews. That last is going to be tricky to find replacement English references -- at least for later in the series, until we get the official releases.

Aria is now airing late night every workday on RAI Gulp, a children's channel. The girls are probably too hot to let them appear on screen mid-day? The series is now at ep.31. if the program guide is right. 82.131.210.163 ( talk) 14:56, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
The main article is 111KB long while the talk page is 95KB long. I don't think you can split the main page down any more but it should be possible to organise an auto-archiving of the talk page. 211.30.12.191 ( talk) 23:11, 7 January 2010 (UTC) as User:Extremepro
So I was looking it over again. I think by this point [[Aria (manga)]] has ceased to be just a little inaccurate and become vastly misleading, and as the anon points out, extremely long.
About a quarter of the article is setting, character, vocabulary and other material that is common to all Aria works. Another good chunk is about the anime (there is more content on the development of the anime than manga; even the Reception section has more on the anime than manga).
And then there's the Media section, with just dozens and dozens of non-manga works. So size-wise, I'd guesstimate 2/3rds of the article is entirely non-manga.
Some sort of splitting out is justified. I suggest that [[Aria (manga)]] be cut down to just the manga; an [[Aria (franchise)]] be set up to hold the common content mentioned above and the history of the franchise; a real [[Aria (anime)]] be created to hold the anime content; and the video games, non-soundtrack CDs and books could go into a [[List of Aria works]]. This is perhaps a little much (and some of the names are debatable), but just about any splitting would be better than the current smorgasbord. -- Gwern (contribs) 14:53 17 January 2010 (GMT)

On forums there is a little buzz lately of a possible ARIA animated movie being planned. Anybody has solid info or is it just a rumor? Ms. Amano is pregnant or maybe already has a baby and J. Satoh is often busy with other animation projects. 87.97.105.150 ( talk) 12:18, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Made a disambiguation line linking to Aria the Scarlet Ammo, as it is commonly called "Aria," and many people have been confusing it with this series, as both have a manga and anime series.

In ARIA, the underground world of Albert is potentially based on the "navigable levels" of Worsley Delph, an early industrial era underground boating canal system near West Manchester, that spans 46 miles. 82.131.210.163 ( talk) 12:36, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
The ARIA manga franchise apparently had a total sales of 4.5 million (tankobon booklets?) plus appeared in 170 million copies of the Monthly Comic Blade magazine until the series' conclusion in December 2008, according to this news website: http://m.izu-np.co.jp/ito/news/20151228iz0000000005000c.html#
" ... 同市内にあるという設定の高校で、ダイビング部に所属する生徒たちの青春ドラマ。同市出身でプロのインストラクターを目指す小日向光と、高校入学と同時に東京都から同市に引っ越してきた大木双葉の2人の少女を中心に、ダイビングの魅力や心の交流を描く。原作ではメンバーがダイビングを楽しむ富戸港のほか、城ケ崎海岸や伊豆高原桜並木などの名所、按針祭海の花火大会や秋祭りのみこしの海上渡御などイベントも描かれている。08年からマッグガーデン社の雑誌「コミックブレイド」で連載中。累計発行部数は170万部(12月現在)。

@ 0qd: Hello and thanks for your good article nomination. Unfortunately, this article does not meet the good article criteria. Here is why:
Unfortunately, for the reasons listed above, this article does not pass this review. Despite that, the Story, Development, Terms and other plot summaries in the article are truly spectacular and some of the best written stuff I've read on Wikipedia. So don't get discouraged; you definitely have made improvements, just not enough yet. If you need help with researching or anything else of the sort, you can reach me on my talk page and I will happily help out. You may renominate this article in the future once it has been improved to meet the criteria, and if you do I will gladly review it again. Link20XX ( talk) 19:05, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

I will be direct any trivial information will be removed/reverted.
That includes: Characters Height, Blood Type, Astrological Sign, Number of Oars Blade are not necessary to understand the plot and not necessary to understand character psychology. I'm certain some editors would have added the characters 3 sizes if they were available.
Second even if you don't agree of the trivial and unnecessary nature of those facts and want to dispute that point, i will still remove them because you don't assert them with a reliable source and thus those fact are not verified. Thus not verified not in the article basis. -- KrebMarkt 07:45, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

The dumb idea : We need a line or two about the covers of the Aria series being draw on Landscape format. Even if it's obvious for those who know the manga it remains one of its singularities. It's a relevant fact for people that know nothing about Aria.
Another graphic we could justify including: a photo of a Venice location (we should be able to find something in WikiCommons, I bet) and Neo-Venezia's equivalent (either anime or manga). Especially once we beef up the Development section with more on how the fictional city was based on the real one. — Quasirandom ( talk) 15:03, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
So talking with editor who did the most recent assessment, our next step should be to fill in the development/production section with info on Amano's inspirations and how Sato went about adapting the series. If we do this, we'll be a solid B. Then once we finish cleaning up the sections and filling in the important mechandizing details, I suspect we'll be ready for a peer review from someone who's taken articles to GA, to help us figure out how to manage this imperfectly structured mass of information (as in, what to spin out and how to improve the rest). — Quasirandom ( talk) 14:43, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Just as a note for myself if nothing else, the next thing to do after manga summaries and getting Development up to snuff is a thorough edit of the character descriptions. In addition to a solid copyedit for tone, several statements about personalities need to be (and can be) sourced to third-party reviews. (At least they're reasonable in scope right now, rather than recapitulating their plot roles and endless stats.) — Quasirandom ( talk) 14:57, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Oh, one other thing we need to do: scrub the ANN encyclopedia citations (such as all the voice actor references). — Quasirandom ( talk) 21:32, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
For development :
Here's another: in the omake afterward to the original Enix edition of Aqua volume 2 (dated January 2002), which was not included in Tokyopop's translation of the Mag Garden reprint, Amano talks about her goal in writing the series. Transcribing from the fan translation of the page, after mentioning her number one wish is for everyone to be happy, she goes on: "For some reason, bad memories remain longer than good ones. You start to think how unlucky you are. It could be that because you neglect to recognize your happiness, you end up focused on your failures. I wrote this Aqua to let you all find that small "happiness" and to make you think. After you've read my work, if there are people who were able to find that "happiness", it would make me the happiest person out there."

More omake goodness: in the afterward to Aria v1 (which Tokyopop did translate), Amano says that Fushimi Inari-taisha outside Kyoto was her model of the shrine in the Sun Shower chapter, Navigation 04. — Quasirandom ( talk) 02:10, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
If you were to digest the information about the anime adaptation, especially the research trip to Venice bit, that'd be enough to remove the stub-section tag, getting us up to a solid B article. There's more to learn and add, as further volumes and seasons are released, but we'll have a good start. And more than most B-class articles have. — Quasirandom ( talk) 03:46, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Okay, we know Amano named Aria and Hime after her two cats (see omake to Aria 3, for example), and I've heard that she brought the series to an end after they died. Do we have a source for that last? — Quasirandom ( talk) 01:12, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
A must have in the development is that in Arietta OVA, Alicia should have stated why she recruited Akari in the draft version of the scenario but it didn't make it in the final form. Junuchi Saito said something like that in the bonus interview of Arietta. Some fans were upset as it is one unanswered question in both manga & anime. We just have to wait for the Nozomi Arietta release to have a WP:RS-- KrebMarkt 05:57, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Aria vol 7 omake, French edition, Amano describe how she reacted when she was informed that Aqua/Aria would be adapted in anime :
- At first she thought it was an impossible case (in French affaire impossible)
- she was swayed by the fact that it would a tv broadcast and not an OVA.
- Even more when learned that Junuchi Saito, she likes so much would direct the anime adaptation.
- But Amamo still believed that stories like that won't happen or it won't reach fruition (in French aboutir).
- Later she regretted her lack of enthusiasm
- She was very happy to receive during a month projects, scripts & drawings (from the anime studio). She savored every second of that period
- When she meet Saito, she understood that he wanted to give a deeper meaning to the anime.
Comment: crazy omake where Amano crammed so many information in 2 pages. --

Ah, here we go: a Mania review of Aqua v1 notes Tokyopop's translation differences with Aika's catchphrase, and the disappointment. (The reviewer also notes that Aqua and Aria aren't prequel and sequel, but a continuation under a different title, but the wording makes me suspect she got that from here.) — Quasirandom ( talk) 21:58, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Updated -- KrebMarkt 18:50, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
Graphiquement, l’auteur a clairement voulu souligner cette ambiance lente et paisible. Autour de personnages séduisants et bien campés, les décors sont aussi éthérés que détaillés. L’eau envahit jusqu’aux maisons, laissant apercevoir en son fond d’anciennes barques envahies par les algues et la faune locale. Aucune faute de goût, donc, pour un volume décidemment plaisant…
Qu’il est agréable de se poser parfois, une boisson fraîche à la main, et de déguster un manga paisible et bucolique. Ici, pas de méchant, pas de combats, même les actions évoluent au rythme de la ville : flottantes et imprécises. Et c’est bien là toute la justesse de ce titre, dont l’aspect très vie de tous les jours peut dérouter autant que séduire. À classer quelque part entre Yotsuba & et Yokohama Kaidashi Kikô.
Et au final, ces historiettes à fleur d’eau, juchées sur des gondoles, confinent à une simplicité et une pureté si totale que le lecteur en sort soit profondément ennuyé, soit résolument charmé.
Totalement hors du commun, Aria creuse son propre style, lent, bucolique et apaisant, et laisse la frénésie à ses concurrents. À découvrir, en se munissant évidemment des deux volumes de Aqua.
on entre sans difficulté dans cette merveille que nous apporte Kozure Amano. La série est résolument positive et drôle. Magnifiquement illustrée pour un chef d’œuvre de simplicité. Que du bonheur à lire et à faire partager.
Aqua est le genre de manga qui attire rien qu'en voyant la couverture.
Aqua n'a d'intérêt que par ses dessins vraiment magnifiques il faut le reconnaître.
Aqua étant présenté comme une introduction à Aria, espérons que cette dernière saura captiver l'attention des lecteurs avec un peu de mouvement côté histoire.
Je pense que certains pourront y trouver leur compte s'ils ont juste envie de passer le temps de manière agréable et reposante sans même espérer un vrai scénario.
Pour les autres, je pense que cette série ne leur apportera pas grand chose...mis à part des dessins à contempler sans retenue.
Ne vous attendez pas à tomber sur un scenario de science-fiction profond, car il n'en est rien. L'histoire, très simple et secondaire, est surtout un prétexte pour montrer l'évolution et les aventures d'une jeune demoiselle attachante, dans une ville bordée de toutes parts par les eaux, de son univers mystérieux, de ses ruelles, ses canaux, ses traditions... tout est fait pour que le lecteur s'évade dans ce monde calme, magnifique et poétique. Et les somptueux dessins de Kozue Amano remplissent parfaitement leur rôle.
Aqua ne brille pas par son scénario, loin de là , il s'agit avant tout d'une oeuvre fraiche, légère et poétique qui invite au rêve. Une oeuvre atypique à laquelle tout le monde n'accrochera pas, mais qui est à mon avis à essayer.
Aqua est la prequel d'Aria, mais est un oeuvre qui peut se suffire à elle-même. Alors, pour seulement 2 tomes, laissez-vous tenter par le voyage sur Neo-Venezia que vous propose ce manga atypique. Et si ça vous plait, vous pourrez faire durer le plaisir avec Aria. En ce qui me concerne, je suis conquis.
Comment: There are more reviews and coverage available like the dossier on Aria on Manga News.com but we have time :p -- KrebMarkt 18:34, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
First a Mea Culpa. I hadn't noticed that people wanted me to discuss before changing the page. My bad.
Now on to the salient points:
Akari writes in her penultimate letter in volume 12 of the manga (of which I have only read the Chinese version):
"One day, yes, one day, I believe I will meet the you I have never seen before."
And granted Cait Sith is reading these words on his laptop at the time, but surely Akari isn't referring to him? I mean, she's met him tons of times before.
She goes on to write:
"If you do come to Aqua, to Neo Venecia, please do travel on the gondola where I am now a Prima." And then she ends with the date and her signature.
And directly below this, there are various pictures of random people reading holo-webpages from their laptop, as if they are reading what she wrote.
So thats why I changed the page from Cait Sith to readers of her blog. I mean Cait Sith is one of the readers of her blog, but he isn't the only recipient of her messages.
So thats my reason for wanting to write readers of her blog, why do people want to keep it as Cait Sith? (I mean, whats his e-mail address? CaitSith@neverneverland.com? ;) ) -- Prototype00 ( talk) 22:31, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Circling back to this, with the last chapter finally scanlated in English with a translation that omits the part that Akari calls her penpal someone she's never seen before, expect increased attempts to add to the article that her penpal is Cait Sith. Watchful eyes. — Quasirandom ( talk) 22:05, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

no more aria on Animate so i had to use the Way back machine :(

It's on the CDs description :
Radio CD Tricolore Cour. 2
Got the main cast here and compiling the description of each CD can give the exhaustive list of the support cast but it's pointless.
When :
Not answered, not that i don't have broadcast dates but using the It's inside the CDs booklet as argument is kinda
WP:AD even it it's true.
Content :
Each release contains one CD-Rom with the show on Mp3 format and audio CD as bonus material (interview, drama, etc....). I thought the reverse at first, my mistake.
That is on the CDs description and on the back-cover of each CDs. —Preceding

BTW, I'm wondering whether the Alicia-as-heavy-drinker comment was an extrapolation from a comment in chapter 40, where Akira complains (in small type) about Alicia's holding her alcohol better than her. If so, that would make it WP:NOR and so rightfully removed. — Quasirandom ( talk) 14:56, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
So at the moment, we use the officially unreliable encyclopedia portion of ANN in two ways:
I'm assuming we can find a way to replace the first with references to the AriaCompany website (possibly cannibalizing those on the list of episodes), or possibly to reviews. That last is going to be tricky to find replacement English references -- at least for later in the series, until we get the official releases. At least the English DVDs do include main cast for each episode. — Quasirandom ( talk) 20:55, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Aria is now airing late night every workday on RAI Gulp, a children's channel. The girls are probably too hot to let them appear on screen mid-day? The series is now at ep.31. if the program guide is right. 82.131.210.163 ( talk) 14:56, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
The main article is 111KB long while the talk page is 95KB long. I don't think you can split the main page down any more but it should be possible to organise an auto-archiving of the talk page. 211.30.12.191 ( talk) 23:11, 7 January 2010 (UTC) as User:Extremepro
So I was looking it over again. I think by this point [[Aria (manga)]] has ceased to be just a little inaccurate and become vastly misleading, and as the anon points out, extremely long.
About a quarter of the article is setting, character, vocabulary and other material that is common to all Aria works. Another good chunk is about the anime (there is more content on the development of the anime than manga; even the Reception section has more on the anime than manga).
And then there's the Media section, with just dozens and dozens of non-manga works. So size-wise, I'd guesstimate 2/3rds of the article is entirely non-manga.
Some sort of splitting out is justified. I suggest that [[Aria (manga)]] be cut down to just the manga; an [[Aria (franchise)]] be set up to hold the common content mentioned above and the history of the franchise; a real [[Aria (anime)]] be created to hold the anime content; and the video games, non-soundtrack CDs and books could go into a [[List of Aria works]]. This is perhaps a little much (and some of the names are debatable), but just about any splitting would be better than the current smorgasbord. -- Gwern (contribs) 14:53 17 January 2010 (GMT)
