Aiura is an anime television series produced by Liden Films, directed by Ry?suke Nakamura, and broadcast by TV Tokyo in 2013. The show revolves around the daily lives of three high school girls - Kanaka Amaya, Saki Iwasawa, and Ayuko Uehara - as they go about their routines in school and outside of it.

Kanaka Amaya is the energetic and impulsive member of the trio. She is known for her boundless energy and passion for sports, especially track and field. Saki Iwasawa, on the other hand, is the polar opposite of Kanaka. She is reserved, introverted, and prefers to keep to herself. Ayuko Uehara is the middle ground between Kanaka and Saki. She is level-headed, practical, and always tries to maintain harmony between her two friends.

The show starts by introducing us to the three girls and their individual personalities. We see them in school, chatting with each other during breaks, and participating in class activities. However, the show's pacing is slow, and it takes a while for the plot to pick up. There is no overarching storyline that ties the episodes together.

Instead, each episode is a self-contained story that focusses on the girls' everyday activities. Some episodes feature comedic moments, while others have a more serious tone. One of the recurring themes throughout the show is the girls' transition from high school to adulthood. Aiura touches upon the uncertainty and apprehension that many teenagers feel as they approach this critical milestone.

Despite its slice-of-life genre, Aiura manages to keep things interesting thanks to the dynamic between the three main characters. Kanaka's infectious enthusiasm is a constant source of comic relief, while Saki's dry wit provides a balance to Kanaka's boisterousness. Ayuko acts as the glue that holds the group together, using her level-headedness to mediate any disputes between her two friends.

Aiura also benefits from its visual style. The show uses a minimalist art style that emphasizes simplicity over complexity, with clean lines and muted color palettes. The animation is smooth and fluid, making every movement feel natural and lifelike. This style complements the show's laid-back tone, and the lack of clutter in the visuals allows the audience to focus on the characters and their interactions.

The show's music is another highlight. The opening theme,

Aiura is a series that ran for 1 seasons (12 episodes) between April 9, 2013 and on TV TOKYO

12. See You Tomorrow

June 25, 2013

Hello! It's Amaya Kanaka! I believe it's always important to be prepared for anything! And so, I'm going to say something that's not very good! I'm now going to say something nice! ...If I said that, I'd be raising the bar too much. ...Crap, I forgot what I was going to say. Anyway, it's the last episode. That was really fast. Anyway, thank you very much! It would make me very happy if we can meet somewhere again! Everyone, please don't forget Amaya Kanaka! *The last episode is about summer vacation.

11. Rain

June 18, 2013

Um... Jinguji Hika...ri? Hikaru...? Whatever. My name is actually Yamashita Sumiko and I'm the teacher of the 1st Year, Class 3. It's raining today so I don't feel like doing anything. I could really care less that Amaya is wearing rain boots and Iwasawa isn't wearing any shoes at all. Why is it even raining? It's not like anyone wants to leave their house when it's raining, so everything should just be closed. Then again, it would suck if the convinience stores were closed, too. Then... ...Stop talking about this nonsense and go home already. And that ends the first semester!

10. Problem

June 11, 2013

Hello, it's been a while. It's Uehara Ayuko. It's already episode 10. Nothing has changed in our everyday lives. Just like when we first started school, Kanakana covered my eyes, but I'm not who I used to be a few months ago! I feel like I've almost gotten to the level of Saki-chan, who can dodge Kanakana. Then again, not many people play "guess who?" at our age... We tried to be like the rest of the female students in the world and talk about love, but apparently that was beyond our level.

9. Dreams

June 4, 2013

Hello, everyone! It's Wakatsuki Misuzu! I may not look it, but I am a teacher. People always mistake me for a student! Students even ask me out. The principal even calls me cute. In this episode, everyone was talking about their dreams, and I could smell that the youth were troubled with what they should do, so I appeared!

8. Club Activities

May 28, 2013

Hello, I'm Amaya Kanaka. Let's do club activities. Our story finally takes movement in episode 8! And Kanaka's ambition comes to light!! Club activities! Differences of opinion! Confusion and frustration! Comforting each other with passionate friendship! This is our youth!! Well, in the end, nothing really happens. I'm not lying!

7. The Amaya Household

May 21, 2013

Hello, I'm Amaya Kanaka's younger brother, Souta. I apologize for any trouble that my sister may have caused you. Continuing from last time, everyone is over at our house, but it's not like my sister is going to clean her room, so she's doing whatever she wants to. I've received quite a bit of unfair treatment. It was a day that I learned how to entertain guests even though I'm a junior high student. Sigh.

6. Younger Brother

May 14, 2013

Hey, it's Iwasawa Saki. Testing week begins today and school gets out early, so we all went to Kanaka's house and... slept. I think I was asleep. I wonder why I'm in charge of the lead-in this week. I don't know what happened, so you should just watch.

5. Incident

May 7, 2013

Hello, I'm Uehara Ayuko. We find out this episode that I could die at any time. Thank goodness. Er, wait, that's not it! In this episode, I end up killing Kanakana... That's not it either! I wonder why I feel like I'm being messed around with as soon as I started high school.

Nice to meet you, my name is Yanase Mei. As soon as I started high school, not only did I end up in a class with a very odd teacher, surrounded by odd classmates, but I was forced to be class representative in a day full of upheaval.

2. First Day of School

April 16, 2013

Heyo, I'm Iwasawa Saki. Um, I'm Kanaka's childhood friend. We just started our high school life. In this episode, a gorilla and a condor will make an appearance. Just kidding. Well, not really.
