It appears that ADV is involved in the production of the anime in some way.

I found this in a staff listing [credit: F.A.T.] One of the entries for Aria is simply "Mag Garden x AD Vision", which doesn't say very much, but it is certainly telling.

...it figures that this news would be confirmed the day AFTER the big site update.XD

Double bonus! Aria AND Tactics!
Natsume Goushin Ryu 16-29 February 2004 news
(I hope Aria will also include the story in AQUA. On a scarier note, my previous blog entry is now showing up in the Google hits for "Amano Kozue Aria". Fortunately not too high up...)

I read yesterday on a Googled edition of Natsume Maya's blog that there will be an Aria anime sometime in Jan-April 2005, but I can't find the entry today.
