Aria (manga)/YMMV

• Crowning Music of Awesome: Throughout all seasons. It makes one wonder why the makers go through such great lengths for a series that is clearly aimed at a niche audience.
  • The unexpectedly melancholic opening tune of Arietta.
• Ear Worm: That song of Akari's...This Troper can NOT get it out of his head, and it's little more than gibberish at that!
  • "Zun taka poko-ten! Zun paka ton!"
• Possibly Meaningful Rename: The names Akari, Aika, and Alice receive when they pass the final test and become Primas express a hierarchy, though the girls seem not to have noticed it, and maybe neither their mentors nor the author intended it. First Alice is promoted to be the "Orange [or Twilight] Princess," and then Aika the "Queen of Roses." And who ranks higher than a princess or queen? Akari is given the name "Aquamarine" -- described in Navigation 3 of Aqua as the goddess of the ocean.
