Outside of some slick animation and a polished look, this was an abysmal first episode. See, a first episode of a new series should hook me and make me want to watch more, not recoil in horror.

The problem? Dozens of characters are introduced in rapid succession and in various groups. Dozens of random terms and words are thrown out in reckless abandon. All the while the show also tries to introduce a brand new world with its own new set of rules, a conflict that has been on going for a long time, and a set of foes with an array of nonsensical powers [half of which seemed ripped wholesale from Eva, along with some storyline too].

UGH.

not a very promising start, but I'll give it another episode or two before deciding whether or not to drop it.

LOL THIS SHOW. What a trainwreck. Seems like it threw everything together into the first episode in the hopes that at least one part of it would appeal... which makes it feel disjointed, rushed and almost nonsensical in some parts.

Awful CGI is awful.

lmao @ sex noises and "this feels so good!" when they "combine".

Characters and plot are all over the place and jam-packed and overwhelming.

It kind of feels like a really bad version of Eva. But will keep watching for a bit, if only for the lolz.

Not too bad. Not great either. The CG is decent, as expected of Satelight.

Aquarion does seem to be really promising though I am not fully sure if I like or dislike the main character...

I actually quite liked it! lol.

It was very NGE and Power Rangers but I loved the story!

I liked all the characters and some very hot boys <3

It maybe could have been explained better but it was quite exciting for a first episode! I'm glad I watched it!

When she said "it feels so good" that did make me laugh lol.

I can’t wait to watch the rest <3

I haven’t really watched any mecha in a while!

It was weird, a lot happened and we got the cool cliche: random guy flying a robot, I expect only action and hot girls, that's it.

That was BOSS.

Decent action. Somewhat comedic at times. A battle against these mysterious, human energy-sucking robot (?) things that dates back things of years. And the MC actually seems cool and interesting (not a total worthless bitch like Deku/MHA or Kaneki/Tokyo Ghoul, just to name 2).

I'm all for that!

Do all mecha shows have orgasms when they're machines transform? They got all sexual in Darling in the Franxx too. I forget what happened in Evangelion, but that show sucked so much ass who cares what happened in it?!

8/10 first episode.

Very confusing first episode, with people being absorbed into walls by black sludge, random mid-fight subconscious orgasms, and what I presume is some reincarnation stuff going on as well.

Also, I find Apollo really annoying. Maybe he'll have a more mature character later on.
