LOL there's like....no crime in this place ROFL =[ you could leave your gondola lying around and not have it stolen. instead, the townspeople would probably cover it in flowers or something :'D
I have a feeling that Amaranta-san is one of the first members of Aria Co. next after "Grandma". Go back at 19:26 "Aria Company's heart of hospitality has been passed down successfully, I'm relieved." And Alicia & Amaranta-san's eyecontact
Aria is boring if you're expecting what you get from most other animes, as it's pretty unique - it's more about small magical sights and sounds that you have to open your eyes/ears for. No big action, angst or drama here.
