Just got back home from university and going to leave in a few hours to Manchester and since I am heading straight back to my Halls after the trip I probably won’t get to go home for another while. So, let’s take a quick look at Avvenire, the Aria  artbook published last year on Christmas Eve. It’s frustrating that I only get to open it now since I knew it had arrived for a good couple of weeks but I just never had the chance to come back home untill now.

Avvenire is basically a collection of Aria images from posters, magazines, DVD covers, OST covers and other Aria products. There is even an appendix at the end of the book stating where each image has come from. So in terms of “new” content, there aren’t any. Since the majority of these illustrations are from magazines and whatnot, the level of detail isn’t as orgasmic as ones found in Amano-sensei’s previous artbooks (Alpha, Stella, Cielo). Also because of this, the style tends to change a bit through out the book, this is especially noticable in the PS2 game section. Most probably because alot of these illustrations are not drawn by her.

Anyways that is it for now, let me leave you guys with one piece of wisdom…. BUY IT.
