Synopsis
Akari and friends enjoy Neo-Venezia's pleasures while training to become Prima Undines, creating unforgettable memories.
The path to becoming a Prima Undine—a guide who can lead tours on her gondola—-is long and arduous, but that does not mean there is no time to enjoy the pleasures Neo-Venezia has to offer! For Akari Mizunashi and her Undine companions, Aika S. Granzchesta and Alice Carroll, participating in various fun activities provides much-needed downtime from their intense Prima Undine training. Joined by friends whom they have met throughout their journey, the girls make unforgettable memories that shine brighter for being in the city of miracles.

- 8 “This is for those who have seen Aria the Animation --> Aria the Natural --> Aria the Natural OVA --> Aria the Origination. Basically spoilers ahead if you haven't watched the full series by now....”
- 8 “For those of you suffering from withdrawal after the end of Aria, relief is at hand in the form of Aria: The Origination Picture Dramas, a series of shorts that are like an anodyne for the soul....”
