Sousei no Aquarion: Myth of Emotions Episode 3 Discussion

The transition from a $5 blob slideshow to 120 FPS RTX on CG is not doing any favors. Especially if it's just the previous incarnations that don't even need to have mouth animations cause they're telepathic.

The animation truly is awful in every way. I had some hopes for the Mythic World realistic style, but it's obvious this whole animation department is a complete flunk. Just awful. Worst of all i'm left imagining better animators working on it and get angry. Aquarion has a lot of international fans, was this really necessary?

I'm liking the plot so far. They've put some thought into it. The whole Sayo death even is not trivial: the cause and effect of her death got reversed in time. She died in the EP2 battle, but her funeral was in EP1. No Fudo though so far, which is upsetting. Also there doesn't seem to be any connection to previous Aquarion, aside from the book.

More interestingly, they left us wondering what's momohime's missing emotion. She said the emotions of the other pilots felt "gross" to her. Is it because those emotions are in excess to her? My original guess was that she lacked love towards others, but i'm not sure how that would explain her reaction. Maybe because without love she can't really connect with others? We'll see

The more this World Awakening Council talks about how children are essential to their goals against the angels, the more I feel this series is trying to be the next Evangelion.
