Yes, even Aquarion pilots have to attend school, although new recruits Jun Lee and Tsugumi Rosenmeier have no idea what they are in for. But this time, Toma has come along for the ride via Astral Projection, and he isn't too impressed with Apollonius' new body. But Apollo will get another chance to prove his worth when another, even more powerful Cherubim attacks. Sirius does not approve of Apollo, regardless of who he may possibly be. The first joining was joyous, harmonious, if unsuccessful, but when Apollo joined the link, it became brutal and wild, even scary. Silvia and her brother Sirius are discussing merges, and how they felt in the previous battle. Apollo is currently in the tender care of Deava, the group in charge of protecting the planet, and he's spending his time between a prison cell and an interrogation, to determine if he truly is the reincarnation of Apollonius. He laments the lower world being overrun with wingless humans, and he laments even more that Solar Wing Apollonius is down there. Beast of Darkness The discovery of Apollo has had repercussions reaching up to the Upper World, where after a 12000-year catnap Toma has reawakened. Then one of the Cherubim attacks, and a Mythic Beast starts harvesting humans.Ģ. Silvia is apparently the reincarnation of Apollonius' love Celiane, but she's none too impressed by the foul-smelling, animalistic youth that they find. One of those children, Apollo seems to possess the multi-dimensional aura, and it's even been prophesied by Seer Rena back at base, that he is the reincarnation of Apollonius, the greatest warrior of them all. Their search leads them to a ruined city, where feral children survive by looting food. Silvia and Pierre are two such pilots who are looking for a third for their team. When they merge their souls in perfect harmony, they can combine the elements of Aquarion to create an unstoppable fighting machine. Each vector has to be piloted by a unique individual with a multi-dimensional aura, an Element User, and these Element Users are in short supply.
The Aquarion is a giant robot, comprised of three vehicles or vectors. No defence, except the Mechanical Angel Aquarion, which was rediscovered by Fudo Gen, and has been put to use in defending against increasingly devastating attacks. They seek the prana energy that every human possesses, and the weakened inhabitants of the world have no defence. Memories of Heavenly Wings In Holy Genesis Year 0011, the Shadow Angels of Atlandia attack an Earth already weakened in the Great Catastrophe, after 12000 years of slumber.
AQUARION ANIME REVIEW SERIES
The first six episodes of this 26-episode series are presented on this disc from MVM. This is Evangelion redux! But then again, with a soundtrack by Yoko Kanno, I'm sold. The pilots have to merge their souls to fight effectively… You're kidding me right. Eleven years after the Great Catastrophe that devastated the planet, there is hope in the form of Mechanical Angel Aquarion, fortuitously discovered in an excavation.
Then I read the blurb for Aquarion… after 12000 years slumber, the Angels reawaken and attack the Earth. Perhaps there is room for a little mecha in my life after all. But this year, I have been dipping my toes into the genre once more, and have been surprised and entertained by the Patlabor movies, and not immediately repulsed by Gunparade March. Of course, I have seen the reinvented granddaddy of them all, Neon Genesis Evangelion, but that was the exception. So far, I've steered clear of the pure product, other than Robotech that is, only able to tolerate mecha in a diluted form, in shows like Burst Angel, and Kiddy Grade. For me, it's a worn out and tiresome trope, far too reminiscent of the Power Rangers series that blight Saturday morning television. It's juvenile wish fulfilment on a grand scale, especially when you consider that Gundam is supposed to be the Japanese Star Trek, with the original anime generating spin-off after spin-off, as long as the world spins on its axis. There's something about giant robots being piloted by teenagers into battle that just seems, well fanwanky. MVM are releasing 2005's Aquarion to the UK, and guess who's the lucky fellow who gets to review it? You see, mecha anime rub me the wrong way. Introduction Someone has finally noticed the dearth of mecha anime in my collection, and has apparently decided to remedy that fact.
