Aquarion EVOL

[Rydux]

The story will take place 12,000 years after the first Aquarion television series at a city modeled after Hong Kong. A new cast of characters, piloting a new Aquarion robot, will fight enemies from another dimension.

I was surprised when this came out, when I heard about this, I assumed it was an OVA of the original series. So I was surprised to find it out it was actually a sequel.

Wait...so if this is set 12 thousand years later...could we be okay if we've never seen the previous series? Please someone answer this question since no one answered if I could see Last Exile Silver fam without having seen the first series, and for that reason haven't watched it yet...

It's too early to tell right now. The way things run is completely different from the first series, but the mecha Aquarion still seems to be a central figure, and the Director mentioned we might see reincarnations of the original cast. But like I said, it's still too early to tell. But there are some things that people who've seen the original series could acknowledge.

How many episodes did the original Aquarion had?

Oh what? really? Damn, I guess I have to search for the first season and hold this one off.
I hate when I skip a good season of something.

Episode 3's out.
Apparently the previous one counted as two. Damnit...

On another note, I am liking the fact that the MCs romance is more real and not forced like in the previous series.

Woo! I'm not the only one that watched Aquarion!
I don't think it was all that forced,

Spoiler:

seeing as they were lovers (real passionate ones at that) in their previous life, and when finally accepting what they disliked about one another, they quickly reverted to their old relationship.
But yea, Amata's romance is indeed more "normal" than Apollo's.

Then I ask you this; which theme song do you prefer? New or old?

Spoiler:

I really like the first one. This new one seems...off.

Truthfully, the new one, I simply like it more. When they inserted into the anime, it just makes the transformation and finishing moves all the more exciting than the first one ever did for me.
But don't get me wrong, I really do like the first theme song.

Ep18.

Poor Andy.

Oh and Zessica's new outfit. Don't like it much but so revealing still... especially in the chest area. Dat X.

Though, I've already lost most interest in the show since

Spoiler:

Jin died. The romance is also so freaking cheesy and annoying, especially anything to do with Kagura, Mikono and Amata.

So I'm kinda struggling to finish the series. I'm usually just skimming through the episodes.
