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. (No need to have seen Aria the Avvenire here) Okay, so you've finished Origination and wondering if it's worth your time watching these Picture Dramas. If you loved the series then definitely go ahead as it's more Aria! For a fan, the must-watches of the picture drama series is Episode 1, 2, and 7 because we see more expanded about the characters from the main story. I recommendif you can't stand the presentation style of the picture drama to at least watch episode 7 because it gives more story about Origination. They put in their most best effort for this last one and it really shows.

As for the other episodes, they're mini-stories which are fun to listen to and experience. Definitely not worth skipping if you like the show plus it's still some good quality Aria despite the low amount of animation work.

I love Aria so naturally I'm going to love these picture dramas. While it isn't as effective as the main anime, it's more Aria and that makes me happy.
