Just realized something minor, but kinda cool. If you think back to the episode where Mikono almost leaves the academy (ep 4), there's the scene on the boat where Zen takes control of the boat she's on and brings her back to Neo-Deava.
The sequence there is Mikono seeing them fighting, claiming she feels a strange feeling, and iirc immediately after she says that Zen's like "ok, time to go!" and takes her back. My interpretation: she'd *already* connected with Amata and Cayenne (probably Zessica too, ), and so Zen was just following her around until he could confirm her powers were as expected. As soon as he had confirmation he brought her back...I think it fits, and is a nice touch. |

If we use *court/love* instead of "admire" and *being reciprocate* as "bloom" it makes more sense. It looks like Mykage knows that Altair's strategy is wrong, in fact that is his own strategy, because he want to find the "girl" and in some ways has convinced them to follow his strategy and more that he is helping them to find her. But this is the opposite. So the strategy used so far is the worst for them, first, evolutionary-wise, because only one would win over the girl and every other contender would lose. Second because the winner is obviously Mykage who will cheat them Mykage on the other hand has everything to gain, because he has an entire planet focused on finding what he is looking for.

most of the time we have been discussing if mikono or zessica is silvia and there are lot of scenes where i felt ok mikono is like silvia maybe not in character but her powers and the way she does some things. but for amata i have yet to have a "aha" moment that makes me think oh he is like apollo or apollonius or reminded me of any old scenes from the old series. even when apollo was trying to be nice or kind, i still don't see amata in him.

What reason do any other past characters even have for being reincarnated, anyway? The only two souls that seem (and are) special in this story are Apollonius and Celianne (and Touma), and by extension Apollo and Sylvia/Sirius. (Maybe Scorpius as the ever necessary balance.) But considering that Amata, Zessica, Mix, Andy, Cayenne, etc, don't have any obvious ties to the past like Mikono, Kagura, Shrade, or Mykage (the latter two are still suspect), I think we're looking for a lot of details that don't exist.

@mayumi actually Mikono is a lot like Silvia. She simply lacks confidence because of her lack of powers but Silvia also had timid & vulnerable side as well. She was also insecure like Mikono because of her feathers--so she felt inferior to everyone in some ways . (So does Amata. Because he is more like Silvia than Mikono in a lot of ways) So did Sirius... and her jealousy of Zessica is a lot like Silvia... I can't go into detail atm.
Just stopping by to drop these off. If you quoted me, I can't really answer until tomorrow evening at the earliest I just wanted to share these I have a few more to share later....I will just post these right now Mix Render from ED, Redrawn and Recolored Zessica Render from ED Redrawn an Recolored Spoiler for Zessica from ED Redrawn an Recolored with Background:

It seems to indicate some ties to the past (much more than Shrade for example). Unless those are intentionnal red-herring. As for Zessica I'm betting on her being part od the reincarnation mess, but it's true that apart for some very cryptic hints (that could not be hint at all and just my wishful thinkings), nothing really indicates ties to the past so far.

Actually, most of his vibe around Mikono can be explained by movie-Alicia related so far. The thing is that he was introduced as troubled by that, so the hints could be misleading (is he a reincarnation or is he a descendant?).

BTW,I'm more leaning to Kagura being the legit Appollo reincarnation if there is only one, but I wouldn't count Amata out yet. |

And Amata didn't just know the name, he also knew what to do once he was in the cockpit. So... Btw, it's interesting to look at what various people know about the background. At Vega people think the story of Aquaria, Apollon and Silvie is a fairytale, and apparently only a few select individuals know more (Fudou, Crea, Donar and whatshisname, the commander - then again, I'm sure Fudou is pretty much all-knowing and Crea also knows a lot more than she lets on). Over at Altair, Izumo, Mykage, Jin and Kagura apparently know more. They referred to Aquarion as "Mechanical angel" (used by the Angels in srs 1, and maybe others as well?), Kagura recognized the Solar Wing and Mykage and Izumo recognized the Mugen Attack/Punch as the "forbidden technique". (And I'm pretty sure this is not because they're all huge fans of the movie - Mykage's presence and the wing/feather motifs all over Altair plus the dimension gate technology makes me suspect that Altair has Angels in its history.) |

It would give that scene some... sense? It's a bit out of touch with the rest otherwise since every other flashback is a literal event in Amata's past, so bring it: Me and My Robot!

I *definitely* think that that flashback is related to the version of Cayenne's vision in which kiddy-Mikono approaches Aquarion and bad things happen. Beyond that we'll have to wait and find out.
In theory I'd like an OVA with Zen and Crea's world journeys, but it might be hard to make work without them being surrounded by comic foils. Lord of Pandemonium: I have to hand it to you, those two "renderings" (is that the term) are really *phenomenal*. The one of MIX is fantastic. The one of Zessica I like, but as a bit of friendly constructive criticism you might want to lighten up the shading on the dark side of mirror-Zessica's face (especially lower-down, near her chin). It's just a shade or two too dark to blend in well with the rest of the work. Still phenomenal work though, I doff my cap in your general direction. |

Well, we haven't seen all of Amata's memories - something interfered with Neo-Deava poking at his memories and destroyed the memory-poking machine, so there must be a huge (ROBOT-SIZED? ) secret lurking in his past that we'll learn when it's time...
(What I find more interesting at the moment is that if you look at that flashback, apparently Amata hasn't cleaned his room ever since he was a small boy...) |

If you can float at will, a dirty floor all of a sudden seems a lot less annoying.
Comedy idea: Amata walking with Mikono in a public park. Feels himself steps on "something gross", starts flying. "Hmph, you really will fly for anything, won't you." |
