Hmm... original Aquarion was quite nice. Gattai!
Only thign I hope that they don't recycle the plot from original, just because they think "fans have forgotten original plot, anyway".

I take back what I said about Rinne no Lagrange. Aquarion Evol's panoramic visuals trump Rinne's by a ten to one.

I haven't watched the original but they made a nice move to acquaint us with all the essentials of the premise.

Apparently boys and girls are separately taught to pilot those huge mechs. Boys and girls are not even allowed to meet for fear of an unwanted "Union" of male and female, which might birth the forbidden fruit that holds immense uncontrollable power. In short, Adam and Eve.

Amata and Mikono unite


The sexual references are quite strong here and some things like the name of their attack are really funny. Despite being heavily cheesy in certain scenes it was still fun to watch Amata's levitation trick and how he fumbles with his mech.

Coincidentally Lagrange draws many parallels from Aquarion as they seem conceptually similar.

Still, two dudes and two chicks unite to form a transformer type mech called the Aquarion. Three's a crowd but four's pushing it. As long as the plot doesn't become grandiose I think we're looking at some nice potential here.

Many have recommended against watching the original because it sucks ass, and I did say that you can understand most of it. Probably the reason why they made a 40 minute long episode.

In other words, go right ahead!

I'm glad I wasn't the only one laughing at the attack names and seeing all the sex symbolism in there xD I picked up this show randomly to kill some time and I'm glad I did. I never watched the other series (didn't even know there was one), but I didn't have a problem with this first episode.

But yeah, am I the only one that thought of power rangers when the aquarion transformed? Plus with the way the pilots were ejected to the command room after getting a beating.

Anyways, I was skeptical at the beginning, but this looks interesting. Definitely going to follow this one.

I found the first episode of EVOL to be pretty good. I'm curious how this series will turn out.
