Aquarion EVOL - Episode 26 [End] Discussion / Poll

[teelatsuki]

Don't you just love how the character with the purest feelings that actually did stuff for the person she loved... to the very last... actually got jack shit for it all.

Seriously they should have saved zessica for another series she pretty much ruined this one being the perfect incarnation of what they tried to do with the protagonist, I will give them a 10 for execution and a 0 for continuity givin us a total of 5 because most of the actions of the characters made no sense compared with their previous actions.

[Radik]

Spoiler for Zessica happy ending:

Zessica is basically the Pollon of her generation now.

The way this show appears to have turned out it makes me think that if Macross had been made today Kawamori would have had Hikaru end the show with Minmay.

And now it looks like more people are about to understand my struggles with Satelight produced stuff as that's exactly how I've felt after just about everything they've done up to this point. The most frustrating part is that I've started nearly every Satelight experience feeling that there's tons of potential and that this time it's finally going to be the time it delivers. I just hope that because Muv-Luv is an adaptation it doesn't run into the same problems.

The announcement is about there will be a director cut version of this episode on Volume 9 BD/DVD, not a movie.

[miketyson]

Yeah, those fan theories about the writers flat-out not liking what they were asked to right are starting to seem like they might have something to them after watching this finale.

A director's cut, eh? I think they already tried that with the volume 1 BD and we all know how much bonus content that wound up having.

[koalatea]

I actually really liked the ending? Mikono and Amata had some really adorable scenes, and Donar and Suomi finally got together. ;w; I can't really say I liked Kagura in this episode though. I'm really surprised he didn't kill Zessica, because I thought he would do anything for Mikono. He even helped Amata get Mikono. Zessica seems like the only one still hung on, which is kind of sad. I wish they would of made her happier at least. ( Though I can't say I don't mind the idea of Kagura x Zessica together, because I think after what they went through, they deserve each other. Also surprisingly, their powers really match up well together.) I can't wait for the subs, so I can actually understand it better. xD

If they were to make an OVA I would like them to give us a new set of characters. And come with some good love story, with no pointless pseudo triangle and actual development.
And please no more shoujo shounen failed hybridation, but characters with chemistry and a personnality.

[Tyabann]

Yeah, I'm glad I dropped this. For that matter, I'm not watching anymore 2-cour original shows, or really, any original anime if I can help it. They always end up with severely wasted potential and dishonest, confused writing.
So thank you, EVOL, for making me bitter again.

[tsunade666]

For all the shitting thing that happen. I enjoyed the ending. Good Bollywood entertaining ending. Like I'm watching the sparkle gay twilight vampire thingy.

Spoiler for 26 worst ending that you can't help but at least appreciate it:

MIX is back with a bang and I wonder how the hell that happen.
I will ship for Zessica and Kagura
They don't get nice robot ending because no one died this time around and they manage to be together now.
Mikono until the end didn't do a thing which is pretty loyal from the beginning.
Zessica been helping Amata that when she shows up I was surprised that Amata even remember her name.
Kagura being Kagura I didn't expect him to just help Amata their at the battle.
MyKAGE finally been in touch with FudoAppolonious being entrap inside of him.
Most problems are solve in a one big bang episode
Heck the instructors are now a couple. I wonder what that sister said that left that major guy's jaw dropping.

super bad that I can't help but praise it. This story will be one in the history for being in that category. Good dog Good Dog. I want dog days. Well at least in the end of the episode they show a Muv Luv preview which is nice.

[mayumi]

The hero is actually Kagura not Amata cause Kagura jumped fate and accepted he won't get Sylvie and was ok with it. it was done in a matter of 2 mins character change twist. but i can't help but appreciate kagura for it.

I was very well aware that Kagura was the best dude all along, considering he has years of torture and brainwashing to justify his obssession on Mikono while Amata is just a clingy creep all by himself.

You are right, Kagura is the one one who changes his fate.

[Faerie]

I think I can confidently say that I hate this show. That's a first for me. And it makes me really sad to admit this I wanted to love this show, as I think I've said before somewhere.

That would be a stupid move, commercially, as sales will likely not be great for this (I hope), and might have been better if they'd tried to salvage what they could.
On the other hand, I can see someone being handed this kind of idea and going "screw it".
However, what is still inexplicable is how can someone create something like Macross on the one hand and then come up with the absolute drivel that is this show? And also, who authorised this project in the first place?
In all honesty, the way this show progressed is something you'd expect from a newbie fanfiction author, not experienced staff with numerous big titled to their name. It's just really strange...

By the way, despite them not having any interaction in the show, simply removing the triangle and making Kagura Zessica's love interest instead of Mikono's would've improved things drastically. Sure, they would've completely overshadowed AmataxMikono because they are actually interesting people, but it would've made for a much smoother and more interesting plot. As it is, EVOL is just plain the worst show I've seen in years.

It wouldn't solve AmataxMikono bad chemistry problem, but at least you wouldn't have to see the worst option winning, because there wouldn't be any other option to begin with. And without Kagura, Amata's creepy side wouldn't have been made so blatantly obvious.

I'm stalking Kawamori on his twitter account asking for this, give us a KaguraxZessica oav, so we can be satisfied, telling us what happens later

[crayven]

I don't think so SkullFaerie. Just remove Zessica from the show, making her fall for Kagura (who doesn't even talk to her until the final ep and only appears once every 6 episodes) would ruin her character totally.

I'd much rather a forever alone end then this KaguraxZessica pairing. This is ridiculous.

Moving on is a normal thing.

I know it kinda crushes the otaku ideal of forever love, but I just want an happy Zessica, someone who won't end up as a lone angry woman with 54 cats.

Lol, I thought Amata and Mikono had perfectly good chemistry cuz of what Mikono said in the first episode "We're a pair of useless people".
Two horribly written characters getting together is good cuz i dont want that Amata to taint dear Zessica. Zessica should be with Kagura, hell those two were the stars of this episode.

I always said that if Zessica had her own love story with whoever, it would sell more Blue ray disks. Like seriously everyone would have rooted for Zessica and whoever she was meant to be with over Amata-Mikono. Already I feel Yunoha-Jin and Andy-Mix overshadow Amata-Mikono. So why couldn't Zessica have her own love story as well?

I want her to have a happy family. She deserves it as well as Kagura(especially kagura) for all the angst, torture and brainwashing Zessica/Kagura received in this series.
