This episode returned to the action.And well… it was just over the top, like everything else in this series. In particular the focus on Shrade was just meant to kick ass and be as grand as possible. Now, I know Shoji Kawamori, so I’m not going to be trolled by one of those twists again, [...]

Whenever a new mecha show appears I set my expectations very low. I’m actually a fan of the genre, but too often do they do several things wrong. For example they can focus too much on political stuff that ends up being pointless and boring or maybe the robots and action itself ends up being

Equal opportunity fanservice makes Ranka Sazanka (and the fangirls) very very happy. Oh Zessica. Such a fine specimen… Also, a master cocktease. Though I get the feeling she might not be the best person to piss off….. … the fuck? He’s a little broken isn’t he? Ouch. Wait.. that counts as a special attack? LOOOOOOL [...]

Episode 05 - LOL, oh god. This show has some of the most ridiculous lines ever. Forget the fact that this show has a crap ton of plot holes and flaws in logic, Aquarion is obviously trying really hard to be as idiotic of a show as possible, and it’s doing a good job. At [...]

wtf… just wtf. I have to give it to this series: it’s creative. This episode once again was completely weird, but on a completely different level than the previous episode. Instead this turned into this bizarre romantic comedy. It’s like the previous episode promised, but I did not expect electric bracelets that would go off [...]

Episode 04 - Haha, alright, at this point I think I should actively try to think of this series as a comedy show. Otherwise, I’d go crazy with just how strange certain scenes get. I mean, seriously, an “infinite punch” that stretches on forever, and coincidentally breaks down the “berlin wall” that was separating the [...]

What the hell did I just watch? In any case, in terms of soundtracks, there are quite a few good ones this season. There is of course the usual Natsume dreamy soundtrack. Rinne no Lagrange is also quite intense and well timed. By far the best though, is Aquarion Evol. This is pretty much the [...]

Well, I have finished cramming Sousei no Aquarion. So, I hopefully won’t sound like a total ignorant. After finishing that show completely, I thought that Shouji Kawamori was on weed or on any drugs. However, after the 4th episode of Evol, I think someone has forbidden him from touching his stash or something (if he [...]

OH LOL, IT TORE DOWN THE BERLIN WALL. GEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNN!! Er, I meant, ZEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!! Well, this was a fairly entertaining episode, since it brought back Gen/Zen and [...]

I know, what an odd time this is to do an impression on Aquarion Evol. There were some issues here and there, but, hey, better late than never. Aquarion Evol is the continuation of Sousei no Aquarion, 12000 years later into the story. We’re introduced to the 2 main characters of the show: Amata Sora [...]

Episode 03 - You know, it’s kind of strange how all of a sudden there’s a bunch of sci-fi/fantasy anime making their premiere in a single season. There’s Aquarion, Mouretsu Pirates, Lagrange, and Symphogear. And then lets not forget the continuing shows, Guilty Crown, Last Exile, and Gundam AGE. Amidst all these sci-fi/fantasy anime, Aquarion [...]

I have not watched the first Aquarion, but I want to test whether it’s possible to watch this series without having watched the prequel. The reason for that is that this season of Aquarion has a very different staff from the first. And really: there are a lot of great people working on this thing. [...]

Plot Synopsis: A group of aliens comes from another dimension and kidnap humans, and there’s this group of young pilots who fight them off using a combining mecha named Aquaria. But one day the aliens use a mecha of their own to fight back, and the Aquaria is no match for it. Blah blah normal [...]

This was shocking. Not that I have to sit through almost one hour of content, I can’t get myself to think that this show is getting overboard on the sexual innuendo. Just hear all of that terminology. It’s like a conservative sex Anime. I can’t help but chuckle on how ridicolus this series is. But [...]

Do you remember Aquarion? That one series that so revolutionized the anime industry that its very existence soon fell into obscurity with a whimper? If you’re anything like a large percentage of the anime watching public, particularly here in the west, you likely only heard of it before getting distracted by something marginally more interesting [...]

The opinions expressed in this review/rant  do not necessarily reflect the views of Trzr23. Reader discretion advised. This review (episodic?) may upset you, or so I've heard. Take your happy pill before you read or if you have a happy place, go there.*  I  first started this anime because I thought it would be about evil fishes, no joke. I translated the words at random and developed this idea that it would be like Finding Nemo with a twist. Don't find that too surprising, it insults my creativity (lets call it that) since my mind read the title as "Aquarium Evil."  Anyway, Moon was a tad disappointed. Don’t get me wrong; evil fishes would have made my day but I’m trying to be “cup half full” for the New Year’s crap. So I decided to watch even after the first five minutes confirmed that evil fishes were, in fact, nowhere present, but it was better in a way. For those wondering, this is a review based on one episode (long one it is!) that I’ve seen. I know nothing of this genre or if this has any previous works but there’s always a first and I’ll forget to write my thoughts on it later, I’ll share them now: ~Read more...

There is one reason I am watching Aquarion Evol, the long-awaited (I’m sure someone out there waited) continuation of Sousei no Aquarion: the music. There is not too much to like about Sousei no Aquarion (aka Genesis of Aquarion); the story and dialogue is a bit bland and it’s just really generic. It’s amusing, but for the [...]
