I can't be the only one who sees some really bad shit happening to Amata in these next few episodes, right? After finally opening up about his mom (to the girl that not only looks like her but also just got compared to her), he's (and the just right for the mid season climax) ripe to get himself/his heart utterly crushed/destroyed. Likewise, Mikono just opened up about her brother leaving her... and his sudden re-increase in screen time and all the talk (from himself and Shrade) about his desire to protect his sister. (You know these things aren't coincidental.) Zessica is going to do something or this build up with her is going to be utterly pointless (all of it, enough to make you wonder why she's even in a triangle that's so... one sided).

And, anyone else fairly convinced that Jin/Yunoha are going to do something very bad soon? Like, I don't know, releasing a certain beast that's driven by love?

I also see the bad shit happens.


I don't see Zessica doing anything malicious. She seems to be really into Amata for some unknow reason (It makes me mad). Probably more than Mikono. Just compare Mikono angry jelly to Zessica really sad one that manifest into violent outburst of her element power. Apparently she chosed to do nothing to not selfishly ruin Amata's little love story.
So either authors are complete sadists and just make her suffer for the lulz, orr it is coming into play. Maybe as an unconcious lack of motivation concerning fighting Kagura if she's told he's coming to take her rival away. Or latter in the anime. I seriously can see her pulling anything bad despite all the mopping and angst.

She could apply it in different ways, but still "impact."

Seems a bit... out of their ass to have her power suddenly cause mirrors to ripple and reply past life events. I'm going by the idea that if we're going to call Zessica's vision in a mirror a *vision* or somesuch, then we'd probably need to give some similar moniker to Amata transforming into Kagura in the water's reflection.

And there are no petals, the only thing I said from before is that when that scene occurs Mykage is standing atop a portal.

Aside from a single detail about his mother, Amata's past is still almost entirely locked in mystery. There's still no answer on why his memories were inaccessible, why he was being stalked by a robot, or why Alisia left him behind. (Or where the hell his father might be.)

My personal pet theory after this episode is that the old legend will finally conclude this time and a new legend (Amata&whoever he loves) is going to begin to repeat that cycle, if Amata turns out to be a completely new guy.

I was talking about it now more on the basis of comparing what we once that was *obvious* and what is actually shaping up to be obvious... which is very little, and many of the details thrown at us end up getting twisted away from the obvious by a pretty wide angle.

If they take Mikono to Altair, Amata will likely be only a few steps behind her to take her back which could be what Mikage is aiming for.

The issue being, then, what does he hope to gain from removing Mikono from Amata if he's after Genesis -> Apollon/Sylvie's forbidden union. If he's truly after Amata, then that would likely mean that Mikono & Kagura are both distractions, while its Amata and someone else that he's actually trying to bring together.

Kagura has already be shown to have an enhanced sense of smell. Also he's got a WOLF form

Wolves also communicate by scent. Wolves mark the boundaries of their territories with their urine and feces and can smell these substances to determine just who left them there, and maybe even their age and gender. Wolves urinate on, or mark, things they regard as their property (such as food) and want to come back to later.

He can smell himself, he didn't say "how come everyone but you and I have a smell?" He said "How come you have no smell? Everyone has one..."

You know Aquarion being Apollonious' "wings" isn't to be taken literally right? He lost his wings. It's because he tore the off. He was reborn as a human

Spoiler for My reply to the above spoiler:

If Zessica was a third pilot or Sylvie if we're to believe her memories,- would mean that she remembered Apollon with WINGS


Also if Amata had the Apollon Side he be more savage. Apollon was an Angel of MASSACRE. He wasn't a nice guy, he fell in love with a human and humans got lucky.


Lastly, Apollon didn't have the power to "connect feelings" and the only person who used his powers were Kagura. He doesn't have wiings, because He tore them off in his past life. He has the "Holy Genesis Light" and greater wing span and used the same blast Apollo used when he pulled out those wings--and he wasn't even in Aquarion. But then again neither is Amata

gotta go watch the eppie before I comment any further

Spoiler for spoiler:

I'd say chances are those "memories" aren't real but created with Mikage's abilities for the sake of egging Kagura on. People only know about the "Apollon" and "Silvie" because of the movies. Many details of the true past seem to have been lost. The fact they were used in the "memory" likely means it was merely a creation rather than a true memory. It;s even stated that the book of genesis from the first series had been lost for a long time. The book alone probably holds most of the true history.

we don't know what Apollonius was like outside of battle. Even a vicious warrior could be kind outside of battle to those he loves. Even Toma being the bastard he was was shown to be quite calm and composed outside battle. Geez we really need a prequel to see the story of Apollonius and Celiane.

Apollo's powers were a result of how he grew up. I don't think it was ever confirmed that they were his element.

If she turns out to be the "shadow angel" part of Sylvia (and not Touma/third pilot/blind vampire loli), it may be handwaved as hurrdurr magical projection of angelic power.

I mean Kagura turns into a wolf. Upgrades!

We know he was bullied by children, we know he was born from Alisia who went to Altair, we know he's a fanboy of that movie and practically lived on that cinema.

That's at least more than we know about Zessica...which is nothing aside being scared of ghosts?

I'll laugh my ass off if it turns out to be Jin and the loli.

[Aoi Toori]

after SRW-Z2 excitement, now THIS!!!

this just become my fave episode to date! The confirmation that alicia is amata's mother, and zessica's rage... what shape was that? 0_0

and kagura!!! finally I've been waiting for him to crash the event, perfect moment indeed.

don't forget jinyuno moment dang! that maybe the best pick-up line ever

can't wait for next week, awesome preview!

Ref: Amata Alicia and mikono: what about Freud's Oupedius complex theory, ie boys want someone to replace their mother. It's not valid science but I can easily see as a springboard for entertainment (or indeed the other way round!).

At least the wolf upgrade/theme has more or less been running from the start or, at the very least, episode six. This would just be an asspull.

Trick being, Amata's memories all come from word of mouth (his), and the machine (supposedly quite capable at showing people's memories) couldn't show anything. Not to mention that his *flashbacks* are rather peculiar when you look at them: Alicia leaving is in the same field as the wedding, he's stalked by giant robots, not a mention of where his dad has gone off to... and for someone with abandonment issues that should be a topic of discussion. The only normal thing in his background is getting bullied by kids.

It's not that baseless. Not to sound too creepy, but when I was a little girl, I was very much in love with my papa and I wanted to marry him. I get over it when I grew up though.
In Amata's case, his mom is flaming hot and she left him as a young age, the trauma not giving Amata the opportunity to cure himself from his mother complex.

There is also the fact Amata's eyes are maybe supposed to be yellow, but they appear to be magenta. That's the colour of Mykage's magic as illustrated by Kagura's arms glowing magenta in ep 11. Mykage could be the one blocking Amata's memories, and maybe also manipulating them.

How awesome of Mykage is he really has the MC as his tool from the very beginning. Dat villain !!!



As anyone considered the fact Alicia's soul could be in the aquarion. That's how it looks while looking at some of the official arts.

Does that mean

Spoiler for another mecha anime:

EVOL is Kawamori's version of Evangelion?

I've been thinking about the flowers that Mykage use, and what they might mean.

Spoiler for flower symbolism in EVOL:

Last week he used a rose to jump start Kagura's memories and this time he used a poppy flower to transport Jin's device to where Yunoha will find it. Before that in a previous episode he was holding what I remembered was a white lily while taking about how if people admired just one flower there would be no need for a garden.

The rose is associated with love and passion, and Kagura is definitely very passionate about getting his wench. As for the poppy flower, poppies symbolize sleep and death, so that raises a warning flag about what's going to happen to Jin and Yunoha in the next episode. Interestingly poppies can also symbolize the promise of rebirth after death, so maybe that might hint at Jin pulling a heel-face-turn? As for the lily, I think it might be refering to Alicia and how Altairians warship her so much. Lilies, especially those that are white, are also associated with purity and the Virgin Mary and Alicia is revered almost like a religious idol on Altair because she was the only female to come across the dimensional gate intact.

[Ypocaramel]

Any news an OST btw? There might be enough new pieces to fit in - the mugen punch insert song, the theme song to Skies of Aquaria and I think there's new BGM as well. Plus it's almost time for OP2; I'm expecting to hear that episode 14/15 after the mid-climax.

OH GOD. It's Zen's card symbolism vs Mykage's flower symbolism. FIGHT.

Spoiler for hahah flower symbolism:

Yes, red rose is the flower of romance so to speak. It's the one associated by romantic love (in your face, Zen).

Poppies have these meanings associated with them. But that's in the west... In hana no kotoba, it's fun-loving/lightheartedness... so you know... White lilies meaning are "sweet." Something that has been associated with Mikono.

[LoveMeKags]

My take on the episode is basic:

1st:

Spoiler for Jin and Yunoha!:

Jin and Yunoha.

I seriously have a lot to say about these two in particular! Their development in this episode was like a roller coaster to me. It was both confusing and cute. Although, it was spiced with a bit of fear.

In the beginning of the episode, he returned to his former self from two episodes ago. He was willingly investigating the women there despite his encounters with Yunoha. However, this seriousness is broken by Sanzanka and her friends. Yunoha, watching from the sideline, didn't become jealous or upset, so I figured the relationship was doomed.

How wrong I was!

At the "party" later, Yunoha openly admits to the others about Jin's module that plays Silvie's song from the movie. Whilst listening to it, all arguments are lost. I did not anticipate that. So I rose my anticipation once more.

However, it fell when Yunoha overheard Jin's message to Izumo regarding the mission. It was that scene in which Yunoha was spotted that Jin acted like a total creep and my hopes died. But his reaction to Tama and willingness to fix it up as well as return it to her and explain himself (even if a lie) was just adorable and made my heart melt once more.

There was one fall to the evening meeting though. Despite the fact I understand Yunoha heard the information about Vega sending (or rather releasing) Kagura to retrieve Jin, it seemed like Izumo was not even aware he'd received a message from Jin to do so. It makes me wonder if Mykage, since awakening, is pulling the strings. In that case, he has to have some sort of elemental ability, which would make the speculations about the "memories" we've discussed be true. (Sorry if that makes you sad, LoP.) Jin apparently didn't get through to anyone on Vega. So how did Izumo know to contact Jin and tell him about Kagura? It was a doing of Mykage's apparently, because he gave Yunoha the module right at the moment of importance and took it from Jin.

But Jin seemed shocked when Kagura appeared, as if he'd hoped Izumo hadn't heard his message after all. I wouldn't be shocked, considering their sunset meeting in which they connected hands for a bit. Likely Jin is either curious as to what "gattai" is or simply that he likes her. I'll accept either.

Their development in this episode was amazing. However, I don't expect her to willingly leave with Jin in the next episode, sadly. But I do expect Jin to make HIS choice instead. Is he staying on Altair or leaving for Vega?

2nd:

Spoiler for Skies of Aquaria:

Okay, I'm sure some of you will backtrack a bit, but did I or did I not anticipate this as being filler? I did. And it sure felt like it.

For once, the anniversary festival has been repeated multiple times, at least the occasion, throughout Kawamori's productions. But the new characters and vibrant reactions made it seem different. However, the interactions between some characters reminded me all too well of Frontier (episode 10, the anniversary of Zero). I was shocked they managed to make me feel like I was watching something new despite the fact it felt really nostalgic.

However, where the hell did they get the idea to stream the movie of the "Skies of Aquaria?" Just from watching Jin's module playing Silvie's song? That was kinda pathetic. It was cheesy line at best. I blame the writers on this.

But my attack on this episode is that we left off at a large cliffhanger in the last episode regarding Kagura and for an entire episode, we have no idea where he is. We have no idea what happened between Amata and Mikono either. We just jump into this episode and go with the flow. And in the end, Kagura appears. My problem is the fact it took two days for Kagura to get through to Altair. Wasn't the gate already open due to Mykage? That's a big plothole.

3rd:

Spoiler for Amata & Mikono = luv:

I had anticipated it but watching it was better than hoping for it!

As I'd hoped, Amata and Mikono get some major development in this episode, if I dare say so.

I'll start with confirmations:

• Alicia is Amata's mother
• Amata saw Alicia fly away
• Amata has abandonment issues (not necessarily mommy issues)
• Amata is not proven to be or not be Apollonius despite the memories
• Cayenne and Mikono were abandoned by their parents
• Mikono has abandonment issues too
• Mikono is not Silvia

First off, the last episode left off with a rather big cliffhanger regarding their development. Kagura's reflection in the water brought about a large discussion. However, I've already ruled out Mikono as being a part of Silvia just based on this episode. Whatever she wishes to apologize for, it is most likely one of the other characters in the OS and not Silvia. For one, Mikono has abandonment issues that she expressed in this episode. Another example is she has none of Silvia's elemental powers. She also has no flashbacks of Apollonius. So I've completely ruled her out.

Still, a rather beautiful episode. Still a bit cheesy when it comes to lines and background, but then again, what is original these days?

The way they opened up to each other had me flashing back to Frontier for a moment (with Alto and Ranka). I halfway expected Mikono to grip Amata's hand and make some cheesy confession about her wanting to be with him (regarding their conversation about being unwanted). It didn't happen. That was fine. But then he asked her out (well, technically to the movie, but if we go by last week's episode...). I was shocked. The character development in that moment left me heading back to Frontier (once again with Alto and Ranka).

I apparently didn't prepare myself enough for the hand holding scene. Watching them hold hands, I was convinced it would go smoothly. However, Amata has already proven that nothing works that well for him because of his excitement issues and flying ability. But he covered it up real well. He held her like a princess. And they hold a rather romantic stare with one another.

I am to assume that Shushu is still slightly protective of Mikono but also understands Amata's intentions. After all, he's always with Mikono, so he's likely to understand her emotions and also hear the conversations between her and Amata. So it appears that in this episode, Shushu doesn't really try to bat Amata away. He's only using his tail whereas he could jump onto Amata's face or bite his fingers again, but he doesn't. So I'm going to say the development is rising in more ways than just Amata and Mikono, Shushu is joining.

Still, Amata ignores Shushu altogether.

But Kagura's appearance... how is that not exciting? He completely lost his flight. Luckily for them (as usual) there was a tree there to catch them. Am I the only one still wondering how a tree suddenly got underneath them when they were actually beside a statue before?

Finally:

Spoiler for Zessica!:

A jealous Zessica is one someone should stay clear of. Damn woman! She broke that whole pole!

I think they've hinted since the last episode that Zessica is Silvia and this just proves it. Her elemental powers are proof. Her visions are proof. And oddly enough, we saw the scene where Mikono is playing Silvia in the mirror. However, in this episode, Zessica sees Alicia in Mikono's seat instead. I can only imagine that what was seen in the mirror had two versions to it in Zessica's mind, and the viewers only got one. After all, how could Zessica make the connection between Mikono and Alicia when Amata has said nothing of his mother problems to Zessica? Another plothole, I guess.

Overall, the best episode so far!

[mayumi]

hmm, i noticed that the movie begins stating that apollon and sylvie met under the tree of life 12000 years ago. i think in this universe thats where the story starts. along with what mikage said about how apollo and sylvie reincarnate many many times. this is possibly a parallel universe that is similar to but different from original aquarion series.

I see nothing wrong with that. The anniversary was meant to celebrate the founding of Neo Deava, which in turn was founded as a result of events from 12000 years ago surrounding Apollonius, Celiane and Aquarion. With not only Amata but also Jin confirmed to be fans of Alicia and the movie being brought up, it makes sense that Andy would immediately jump to the idea of screening Skies of Aquaria because of how fitting it is for the occasion.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Sigh between Amata/Mikono and Jin/Yunoha, love is not only in the air, it's a freaking smog The only thing short off in this episode was some Mix/Andy Sadly we'll just have to make do with that one tsun-tsun scene

I would like to think that ShuShu is smart enough to realize that if Amata snapped out of it at that height, it might not bold well for all of them But it's still funny to see it being consistent

However that said...

You misinterpreted what I meant. I was referring to how they came up with the idea. Considering they'd started the scene with a confrontation between the boys and Cayenne, to suddenly jump to an idea of showing the movie as a way of celebrating the anniversary is spontaneous. It literally held no ground outside of Jin - after much consideration - showing his recording of Alicia. And so, it is the writer's fault, slightly. They apparently didn't think up a good excuse for why the conversation should change so quickly. Nor did they actually show how the previous scene with Cayenne was resolved. Do you see my point here?

Uh, need I remind you of the boat scene or the near kiss scene. In either of those scenes, Mikono could've either been fish bait or fallen down a flight of stairs. I don't see where he'd have a problem doing the same whilst in the air considering he's already done so before. I don't really think Shushu actually thinks through what he does. But then again, he'd be human if he did.

But still, Amata showed some balls by ignoring Shushu. After all, for eleven episodes, he was quite shocked (or confused) by the little animal. Now, he seems to not care. It's Mikono that has all his attention and that won't change. I hope that it doesn't in the next episode.


Well, like I said, I was waiting for concrete evidence that would show where the romance (outside of reincarnations) was headed. I think I've finally planted my flag permanently in the Amata and Mikono side.

And Zessica here is kinda reminding me of my nightmare Sheryl. I think I've finally found a part of her personality which makes me say she isn't Sheryl but worse than her, and I disliked Sheryl at first. Wow... odd. Still, I like Zessica. I hope for more out of her.

[bakAnki]

Fu~sion, hah! XD

Ah okay, I see where you're getting at. Well seeing how Andy already brought up their "purpose" before Zessica derailed the topic, I figured Cayenne just stopped bothering since there was clearly nothing going on that room. I suppose they could've just taken a few secs to show Cayenne giving a "Screw it, no one's listening to me" look when the confrontation got interrupted. Anyway to me it was trivial enough to not bother with, unlike a previous ep that had Mikono suddenly being concerned about Kagura out of the blue after a few episodes of nothing alluding to it.

Anyway to me it was trivial enough to not bother with, unlike a previous ep that had Mikono suddenly being concerned about Kagura out of the blue after a few episodes of nothing alluding to it.

Well, I've seen quite a few plotholes so far. I'm hoping that changes with the future. I just thought that one was a large one.

That one, along with the fact that Amata and Mikono were sitting in front of a statue but ironically landed in a tree when Kagura appeared despite the fact they hadn't flown anywhere besides up. Uh, I've heard of screwing up in live-action with where the props are but anime... it's just cliche.

Regardless, ending the whole scene with Jin's expression wasn't helpful to actually end the previous scene. And, still, Zessica mentioning it when she apparently had no ties to the movie itself - meaning she hasn't stated whether or not she's seen it before - leaves another plothole. For Amata said the movie wasn't a big success. So the people who actually saw it had to be very little if any at all. (I'm referring to episode one here.) But in the beginning of the episode, when she looks at Mikono, she has a flash of Alicia. That's our only clue, apparently.
