But it also seems to touch upon fantasy, as the cast seems to be young people with magical abilities of all kinds. Aquarion is, first and foremost, a mecha anime, as shown by each episode and the crafts flying out to confrontations against the. The problem with Sousei no Aquarion is that it makes a rather bad effort at pleasing as large a crowd as possible. In fact, the name even rhymes with "Evangelion"! But that's not the extent of Aquarion's crimes. Yes, this DID come after Neon Genesis Evangelion. Oh yeah, and he’s the reincarnation of a legendary Atlantean warrior, and the mythical "Solar Wing" that the Shadow Angels are looking for. But the REAL story is that it’s about a man named Apollo (who shall henceforth be known as "Doinky"), who loses his best friend Baron (oh brother) to the Borg, er, Shadow Angels (who live in a place that shall now be called the "GIANT FLOWER ARRANGEMENT OF DOOM™"), and he is captured and taken to a school to learn how to pilot the Aquarion. The 'elements' who needed to have pure souls and sharp senses, finally start off the fight and the time of uniting humanity's hopes into the legendary Aquarion has come.Īt least, that’s what the official synopsis says. With these 3 new weapons, Mars, Luna, and Sol, piloted by gifted pilots who possess the 'element' to activate them, the legendary 'Mechanical Angel Aquarion' can be united from the 3 'vectors'.
Humanity tries to hold off the onslaught when the 'Godspeed Magician' Fudo Gen excavated in the sea near Crete the so-called vector machines, legendary machines which gave new hope. They sent their bio-mechanical 'mythical beasts' to harvest the life energy or 'Prana' of humans in the few remaining cities.
In the Lost Atlantis, which was believed to be destroyed 12,000 years ago, the winged race of Shadow Angels resurrected. The Great Catastrophe, which ruined the planet 11 years ago, caused the ice of Antarctica to melt.
