Summary from MAL: "Now that Akari Mizunashi is a Prima Undine and head of the Aria Company with her own apprentice, Ai Aino, she can't help but reminisce about her time as a Single. She has new responsibilities and much less time on her hands, but these changes bring with them new forms of miracles that Neo Venezia can give. Growing up into new roles is hard, but Akari can always count on the friends she's made on Aqua in times of need."

The first of the three "additions" to the Aria franchise's anime trilogy, Avvenire is a wonderful and pleasant return to the planet of Aqua. For myself the Aria franchise as a whole is absolutely one of my favorite works both in manga and anime form, and it is an absolute treat to be able to "give back" an offering of some sort to it and give others the opportunity to plunge into the setting.
Note that there are two more additions en route, and one of them, Aria the Crepuscolo, has just become available. The third one, Aria the Benedizione, will become available in December of this year if all goes well. \o/
The release has two tracks: With Honorifics and Without Honorifics.

For myself I do not have any plans to do the first 3 seasons of Aria or the movies after this one, unfortunately, though I did consider it some time ago! Unfortunately at the moment it is just not realistic, and we have too many other projects on our plate. However, I have heard talk of the second special being picked up and getting a fansubbed treatment, and possibly the third special after that.
Personally for Aria the Animation, Aria the Natural and Aria the Origination I am content with the dvd releases done by niizk and Hitode (the first group I joined, even though it was for a short time!) some years ago. As you all have no doubt already heard, one of the main obstacles to an updated release for the three seasons are the encodes themselves. The BDs for Aria are just ... not that great. The subs are another issue, but that would def require a long term investment.
That being said, I would def welcome someone giving the anime seasons an overhaul. There were many places in the Avvenire OVAs that benefited from a TLC pass, for example.
