Synopsis

Once upon a time, a race known as the Shadow Angels attacked Earth to harvest the life force of all those who inhabited the planet. Thanks to some outrageous miracle, the Shadow Angels went dormant, and humanity was able to live another 12,000 years without fearing their presence. But 11 years after a catastrophe dubbed the Holy Genesis brought ruin to the Earth, the Shadow Angels were stirred from their slumber and resumed the attacks once more.

To give humanity somewhat of a chance, an organization known as DEAVA was formed, and use of a robotic weapon named Aquarion has been authorized. In order for the Aquarion to be brought to full power, three pilots must combine their hearts, bodies, and souls into one—a feat few can hope to accomplish. Thus, the search for so-called 'Element Users' was prioritised, hoping to ensure humanity's future.

Sousei no Aquarion follows the story of Apollo, a near-feral young man brought up in poverty, who is believed to be a legendary hero reincarnated. After his best friend is taken by the Shadow Angels, Apollo chooses to become an Aquarion pilot. Will he be able to turn the tides of the war, and free humanity from the threat of the Shadow Angels for once and for all?

I love a good episodic monster of the week, and thank god Genesis of Aquarion is another one to add, and most importantly, is just very unique and cool form to it.

A story of ten thousand and two thousand years more

Watching the initial eps, it had a bit of an Avatar TLA feel to it, with the reincarnations and oh my god, that dude just bended air, that dude made fire, which makes sense as you get the sense that this series derives its inspiration from Hinduism and Buddhism as much as it does greek, like how the myth of the series goes and with ...

Mixed Feelings
How would you feel if you could remember a past life? Would that past life have some kind of impact on your current life? Perhaps in a past life, I could have been more of a mecha fan than I am in this life. Even though I don’t consider myself to be a huge fan of mecha anime, I still happened to have a particular one on my to-watch list for years for rather stupid reasons; after finding a DVD of it at my local library, though, I finally got around to watching it. Now that I’m finished with it, though, exactly what do I ...

Its been a long time since I saw such a bad anime. Now the review I am writing is keeping in mind the time at which this was released.

The story is like a mish mash of NGE, RaXephon, mecha link etc. The art and the art detail are not that great. Sound is bad. This concept of souls merging when the robots merge gives a very. ahh how do I say in better words, I can't say, so its erotic and has an erotic sound with all characters screaming ahh, oohh, I have never felt this before etc. You get the point. It fails on ...
