What You Need to Know:

A few weeks ago, we brought you news that Nozomi Entertainment was crowdfunding the dub for ARIA the ANIMATION, a classic slice of life anime. Now, as of the time of this article they have raised over $208,000! That is almost double their initial goal of $110,000.
Since they beat their stretch goal of $180,000, they will now be doing the second season as well ARIA the NATURAL. They have added new tiers as well that you can check out on their crowdfunding site here.
The crowdfunding site describes the series as follows: Akari Mizunashi, at the age of 15, has left everything behind to travel to a sparkling planet covered in water, Aqua, formerly known as Mars. By the 24th century, humans have found a way to colonize the formerly uninhabitable planet. More than anything, Akari wants to be an "undine" - a female gondolier who navigates the canals of the Aquan city of Neo-Venezia. The city itself is a faithful replication of Manhome's (Earth) city of Venice. To make sure that residents and tourists alike get the most from Neo-Venezia's many wonders, companies offering guided tours via gondola were formed, one of which is named Aria Company. As she begins her training with the prestigious Aria Company, will she be up to the challenges that await her on the path to achieve her dream? ARIA The ANIMATION’s gentle poetry will take you to the truth: It’s all about savoring each moment of the journey along the way.
