Urgh, it's just as I feared; the new Diva has this whole thing going on with overblown gender segregation, to the point that they've put a giant wall between the male and female canvas grounds. Even the heads of the male and female grounds are at odds about males being superior to femals and vice versa, and the commander spouting reiliguious babble about male/female combining being blocked by some holy wall. *sigh*
I sersiously hope they don't overdo this; it'll be just plain annoying to see everybody walking around every episode for half the series being sexist jackasses, let alone how it'll screw with the current AmataxMikono relationship and the inevitable romance it'll become in the coming episodes. >.> *lol* Kagura even walks around on four legs like Apollo did. It's him all right. EDIT: Great, to top it off that idiot Kaien, or whatever his name is, is a complete jackass. He talks like he may actually care about Mikono, than completely trash-talks her the rest of the time. I gladly take most forum trolls over that guy. And the next episode preview indicates we may indeed be getting a bunch of segregation crap getting thrown at us next week with them going back to the Aquarias. I was all revved up for this show (and still am), but I was definitely not looking forward to this sexual segregation BS. And Kaien and that glasses girl do not help in any way whatsoever. I really, really, really hope we don't have to put up any of this for too many episodes; at the very least Kawamori, tone it down in an episode or two, please. Yeah, these terribly heavy negative points were a real killjoy for me. Thankfully I still enjoyed the episode. For the most part. On a non-negative note, from his commentary it looks like Kagura is going to be actively pursuing Mikono. So we have some interpersonal good guy/bad guy conflict ready. Speaking of Mikono, I also really hope she gets over her weakness and becomes a pilot soon. Her weak-willed damsel-in-distress role these two episodes was hard for even me to swallow, and I'm really forgiving with these things.

That strikes me as being the most hilarious aspect of it all if it's true. A religion based on something that gives artificial induced orgasms ... used to separate genders from each other

Didn't fully watch the entire episode, I prefer to wait for the sub :3
But indeed that was great gattai scene, and though we don't get to see the infamous Mugen Punch, but we get that Buddha's palm and Flying Love Attack XD And as I fear, there's no OP scene on the premiere "orz That Flying Love Attack, anyone thought they will ram Kagura to moon and then wrote "Amata Mikono" on it, just like Eureka 7?

After watching Rinne no Lagrange and this in a row, I'm extremely pumped for mecha this season. I didn't know what to expect this season, but between those two, Nisemonogatari, and Milky Holmes 2, this is going to be a great season if they can all keep it up.

It was just as I feared; Mikono and Amata are too darn generic as pilots(even though Mikono didn't pilot, and did nothing but whine, which is worse =0\). The original wasn't the best mecha show, but one of the things which entertained me about the show was the unusual pilot archetypes and char interactions. Amata doesn't seem remotely as fun as Apollo was, nor Mikono to Sylvia. Like Shinji said, I hope that the whole gender separation/superiority thing will be nixed as quickly as possible. I REALLY don't want another Vandread s1 (>.>). FORTUNATELY, I think that Zessica and the inclusion of Comm Fudo(?) will help this process along.
Speaking of Fudo(if that WAS him), I hope he becomes Commander very quickly. Even though I didn't know he would be in this show, seeing how the normal commanders seemed incompetent, not to mention suffering from the same "oh no, boys and girls shouldn't mix" syndrome, it made me BEG that Fudo would just pop in out of nowhere. As a commander, he was freggin awesome, cool as hell, and made the show more entertaining with his unusual but meaningful activities (*hopes for another cross-role ep =03).

Edit: Or not. My original Aquarion memory isn't the best. But still, that Gattai ep was quite memorable to me >_>

It definitely wasn't done on purpose to go with the plot of the episode; if it had just been for the oddjob parts of the episode then you'd be right, but there was no reason other than lousy animation skills for the whole episode to look so terrifyingly horrible. >.>

No Getter-esque combinations or extra forms like Walker and Armageddon. Remember the Assault Vectors can combine as well with the original Vectors. Which brings to question is the Aquarion still buried keeping the planet together. The gender segregation is a systematic institutionalized nerfing of the Vectors. KKeeping them Real Robots not Super Robots. Maybe something happened in the intervening 12,000 years that Aquarion technology was forbidden to be used. In Aquarion it was said the humanity or the New UN gaining mass produced was a bad idea. |

Well, I am not sure if I will like this Aquarion or not. Yet I will say this: I sooo miss Sirius, because Cayenne is making me want to kick my screen!!!!! Seriously, he needs a good bootslap and fast before he solo-kills the show.
BTW, I feel sorry for Zessica.....She is soo getting expel from her school. I mean, she went from virgin!choir!schoolgirl into a girl in a foursome (with two members being brother and sister and giving a hand to the leader of the group). Poor Girl. XD |
