I love most of his lines.Īll in all, Aquarion is what you'd expect of an homage of older series - unoriginal. You get a little on Apollo and Silvia as we gradually explore their past lives and they warm up to each other, but that's about it. There's low amounts of character development, which also drags a bit down. Sirius is the arrogant-kinda type (he actually reminds me of Byakuya from Bleach), Pierre is the guy who's always going after the ladies, and so on. I mean, Apollo is the stupid, rash character you've seen a lot of times, Silvia is the female protagonist who doesn't like the male protagonist at first, but warms up to him. They're mostly unoriginal (at least from my experiences). Sound effects are okay too, and they do their job like they should. VAs are good I like the characters' voices and they're played pretty good. The BGM is okay too it does the job it's supposed to do, but it stops there. AKINO did an outstanding job on the OP and ED themes, and most of them are in the upper tier of my favorite OP/ED theme list. This time around it is a positive statement. The soundtrack is the strongest part of the show.
#AQUARION ANIME TRAILER PLUS#
However, the series deserve a plus for the best-looking male villain ever (Toma). If you like or don't mind lots of CGI, you'll have no trouybles with this, but if you're not a fan of CGI like me, it can ruin your enjoyment of the series. It just ruined the quality and my viewing experience. I'm not a big fan of CGI in anime series, and especially not when it's so blatantly executed as the CGI in Aquarion. Special effects are okay, but not something outstanding.Īnd then there's the CGI. The character designs and backgrounds are all decent, but there's just something dull about the coloring, and good lighting effects are rare, but good when there.
And that is if you count out all the CGI. The animation quality is actually one of the stronger parts of the show - not that it is a very positive statement. The inconsistency of other characters' development also helps to drag a bit down. Still, that development is pretty much the only thing that ties the episodes together. The development in Silvia and Apollo's relationship is all but prominent, and whil I could nearly imagine them kissing after one episode, that didn't seem so likely after the next. Those episodes are actually so independent of each other that, aside the first episode, you could probably watch them in any order. It's episodic, and stays that way until the last couple of episodes. Maybe you've now decided on whether to watch it or not?Īnyway, the story isn't that really great. The female (Silvia) protagonist is the reincarnation of Apollonius' lover. Also known as the Wings of the Sun, he is very important to the Shadow Angels, so they go after him. The male protagonist (Apollo) is a reincarnation of a fallen Shadow Angel, Apollonius, who betrayed the other Shadow Angels a long time ago. One organization - in this case DEAVA - who can fight against them, due to their possession of mecha robots - in this case the Vectors/Aquarions. The setting is - not surprisingly - a futuristic world, where a form of higher beings - in this case Shadow Angels - show themselves for the first time in thousands of years. But I've talked with people who are experienced with them, and the one mecha from the 90s which I've watched (NGE) is enough to prove my example of how similar it is. Personally, I haven't watched a lot of older mecha series, so I can't exactly spout out examples of it copying them. Aquarion is an homage to older mecha series, and that is easily seen when you watch it.
