There are probably better mecha shows of this kind, like Neon Genesis Evangelion or Zegapain, but Genesis of Aquarion kept me entertained over its entire length.
Watch Genesis Of Aquarion English Dub Movie Came OutTwo additional OVA were made and a Movie came out in the year 2007.In this latest anime season a new adaption of the Aquarion franchise called Aquarion Evol started.So far I enjoyed it a lot and so I got curious about the previous anime.The Shadow Angel Apollonius once betrayed his comrades after he fell in love with the human girl Celiane. In a bloody battle Apollonius and his human comrades were able to seal the Shadow Angels in their base, called Atlantia. In the future 11 years prior to the story an great crisis occurred and the Shadow Angels from 12000 years ago were free again. They start to attack the humans again with mecha units and harvesting machines to catch the inhabitants of the cities. These Vectors were already used by Apollonius and his comrades 12000 years ago. Only people with special abilities can pilot the Vectors, these three vehicles can be combined into a huge Robot called Aquarion. One part forms the head, one part forms the midsection and the third part forms the leg section. Every Vector can become the head part and so the whole Aquarion machine has three slightly different shapes with different abilities. When combined the emotions and the special Element abilities of the pilots are amplified, nevertheless the performance of Aquarion depends on the emotional compatibility of its pilots, which causes a few problems for DEAVA from time to time. The latest member is no exception, Apollo is a crude street kid, he has a lot of potential, but hes also a big delinquent. Some people believe that he is the reincarnation of Appolonius, the Shadow Angel which helped the humans in the past. The idea of reincarnation plays a big role in this anime, even though only the three main characters are really involved in this subject. During the show there are a number of backflash scenes from their previous lives. They appear somewhat fragmented in the first place, but they are efficient. After a lot of entertaining (mostly for the viewer) drill, the team mastered the basics of piloting the Aquarion unit, but it still isnt enough to stop the harvesting attacks of the Shadow Angels on a worldwide scale. Even though there are many lighthearted moments in the show. Toma could easily crush DEAVA, but his superior goal is to complete the tree of life which is very important for the Shadow Angels. But to make it possible, he has to wait until Aquarion reveals its true power. Also the teachings of Yoga play a big role in Genesis of Aquarion as well as greek mythology. Even though I prefer 2d animated mechas, the mecha design of Genesis of Aquarion looks good and the CGI scenes are very well integrated in the 2D environment, there are some reused scenes here and there, overall its a solid animation quality.
