Voice actress and J-pop singer Kiyono Yasuno has released a new look at the upcoming Aria the Crepuscolo anime film. In addition to voicing Aletta in the film, Yasuno is also singing the film's opening theme song, "Felicità" and the ending theme, "echoes."
The film will be the sixth anime project based on the 2002 manga series of the same name from Kozue Amano. A 13-episode anime adaptation was released in 2005, titled Aria the Animation, followed by 26 episodes of Aria the Natural in 2006 and the 2007 OVA, Aria the OVA: Arietta. A 13-episoe anime titled Aria the Origination was released in 2008 followed by a 3-episode OVA in 2015 titled Aria the Avvenire.
The title takes place in the year 2301, where humanity has colonized Mars, renaming the planet Aqua. Set in the fictional city of Neo-Venezia (New Venice), Aria follows 15-year old Akari , who arrives on Aqua from Earth, with the goal of becoming a top-ranked Undine gondolier with the prestigious Aria Company.
Aria the Crepuscolo follows Aria Company rival, Orange Planet and its gondoliers Alice, Athena, and Anya. The film is based on an original story written and illustrated by Amano.
The season is fall and the city of Neo-Venezia is covered in fallen leaves. Something is bothering Anya, who works at Orange Planet. Her senior colleagues Alice and Athena haven't seen each other due to their busy schedules, which is making Athena feel sad. But for some reason, Alice seems to be avoiding her altogether. With her friends Ai and Azusa's help, Anya tries to find a definitive way for Alice and Athena to get together. But during this time, Anya learns of a situation that only she can see because of where she stands.
