First, Amata is a lead character totally without charisma, he has only good scenes with Mikono or Zessica. Neither his reunion with his mother and his possible father made me think he’s a big deal.

Only seeing the episode with subtitles we can understand what happened, it was a lot of talk and little action … but, the important thing is the reunion of Mikono with Fudo, who finally came up too fast…

The great mistake of Aquarion EVOL, was to treat the secondary characters as main characters, all had more development than the lead characters, which was a mistake, huge, because now there remain a few episodes and there will be no time to properly develop any of them and if that happens will be very fast.

This rush of Andy behind the MIX pulled me out patience, the groans of Yunoha too. Neither the Akino song encouraged me in this episode. Yes, I’m a little disappointed because I expected much more.

At least they found that women become men… and they manage to escape before Zessica and Yunoha start wearing pants.

a rather boring episode? i don't know unless there were some great revelations in regards to reincarnation. so ZEN = GEN confirmed? But then why would silvia hate him? silvia has never thought of gen as anything but a weirdo even a pervert.
mikono with silvia's stance in fudo's shirt. not sure i dig it. cherubim of touma's returns. is kagura the one riding it? if so its rather ironic that if he is apollo reincarnation he is riding touma's machine.

the feather of apollonius is back. who is going to awaken their true memories?

if zen is really gen, then touma is likely mikage.

- Izumo is not Amata's father.
- ALL women died 14 years ago.
- ZEN = GEN
- Touma cherubim next episode.
- Shrade may or may not be dead.
- MIXY is left behind, and is a 100% husband.
- Vega getting flowered by Mykage.
- Mikono, after utterly pointless montage of searching for Fudo, will become next Fudo.

I disagree. He only has good interactions with Andy. I don't see the appeal of his grovelling in front of Mikono or hurting Zessica's feeling (though in this case, it's not really his fault much a nasty side effect of the completelly pointless Zessica love drama.)
The great mistake is that the main romance sucks. It has been cute in the first episode and after that it has been dragged in the most awful ways possible.
The side characters are fine. I don't think it's not about giving too much time to the side characters it's about using poorly the one devoted to the mains.

I will also never forgive them for the pointless Zessica drama as well.

And last but not least.Presenting Appollo/Sylvia's promise of love as a nasty destiny to overcome. What the fuck is wrong with the writters....:uhoh:

I feel a little sad that Zessica didn't turn into a man. It would have fitted her personnality more. And she would have been one hell of a charismatic sexy man.


What's the deal with all those flowers at the end ??

Wow.. Amata finally finds his mom.. I love how all the shouting he's doing doesn't really match his facial expressions at the end.. And he acts like she can hear him in her little coma state. :P

Gen was watching Mikono the whole time? Am I the only one who found the little montage with him basically copy and pasted into Mikono's searching sequence hilarious? And we found out something that was completely obvious since the beginning. GEN=ZEN? Who would've thunk it? :P.. Sucks to be the people who were overthinking it saying Fudo= Toma, Fudo=Apollo...I'm guessing that the other reincarnations will be rather obvious as well.

Amata really needs to learn how to fight. I'm tired of seeing him curbstomped everytime he's outside of Aquarion. Andy on the otherhand is being quite badass, he curbstomped every person who chelledged him. Amata could really learn a thing or two from him. I'm sure he has enough badass to share.:)

Since I can't second half of the episode for some reason I guess I'll comment more latter.

Andy doesn't belong to the main cast, so it's irrelevant, at least in my opinion the interaction between them as friends... this would happen one way or another.

The romance just sucks because the main characters are not developed well and suddenly we're going for six more episodes where everything must be explained and developed, for not to end in a horrible way... Now tell me, you think that in the six episodes the writers will do a great job and end this anime in a good way? After all that we have seen... ???

Andy being in the supporting cast makes main characters like Amata look bad. Watch Amata bang his head on Alicia's glass pod and shout like there's no tomarrow while Andy's being a beast with his manly roars and going after his girl. Watch Amata get his ass whipped by an old dude while Andy's curbstomping everyone in his way. Amata really needs to get his ass in gear. :/

Finally finished watching the second half. They got out of Altair surprisely fast. So fast that it seemed like a waste of time. The mission was a complete failure. MIX and Alicia weren't rescued so I guess they're heading back sometime soon. :/ Meh.

On the bright side it looks like Mikono will have a power up next episode. Only to be interupted by Kagura who has been used as a cliffhanger for the fifth time, so you know he's gonna interupt something important. That's how it always happens with a Kagura cliffhanger. :/

Do you mean Mikono will be the next Fudo or fudo is the next fudo? seems kinda strange. Is that why she knows him from the past because she is him reincarnated. Think I'm getting ahead of myself. Would make the whole donuts thing make sense. She is suppose to "connect" everyone. and it's not like Silvia from the first season was that role. idk guess ill wait for subs like a noob

It was revealed this episode that Zen Fudo = Gen Fudo. I think he's refering to the fact that Mikono will probably become more like him. I mean, look at the preview, she's even wearing his jacket. Also judging from the preview, I think Mikono will learn about her past life and like Fudo, will probably help the others become more knowledgeable about theirs too.

Just realized what you meant by that by watching the end of the episode again. For some reason it just didn't connect. DAMN YOU MYKAGE! That beautiful city is completely ruined! UGH! But that confirms that Kagura is on Vega, but he's pretty far from Fudo & Mikono who are on a boat to who knows where.:/ Wonder how the rest will react to their entire city being flowered. And I wonder if it reached NEO Deava.

So like, where are Amata's wings recently?

lol random JinxYunoha bit. Sorry Yunoha, I think Jin was just an otaku. ^^;; Eh, I don't have anything against this pairing, but Jin is already dead so why can't they use the time spent on this to do something about the main characters? :/

LOOOOL so it's not just their body that changes, it's their entire personality? XDDDD Why do I feel this is just so they can make otaku go dokidoki hearing Yunoha talking in a male register? ^^;;

And apparently Alisia does somehow power Altair through Ianthe? At least it seems so.

Mikono the Master Detective. XD And as always, lol Fudou. XDDDDD I've always been by your side... OH GOD, YOU'RE SUCH A CREEP XDDDDD Fudou Zen, indeed! And Christ, he's Fudou-myouou!! XDDDDD A honest-to-god deity! XD This explains many things, though... Damn, they needed Fujiwara Keiji for this role. It wouldn't have worked with anyone else. XD

So we learn the Truth that we already knew. OK, but I still want to know why "Igler" (or however you spell it). Also, I hope that this curse of Eve will be more important than to be used for just this gimmick, because if not they've just wasted a record amount of time.

BOY'S GATTAI XDDD But of course we don't get to see the spiritual orgasms, damn it. Shrade is a boss. That simple. But hear me, you can't die until you get home to Cayenne!

Oh, so Amata's dad is actually important. Well, well. Who is it, if not Izumo? Fudou? The guy who played Apollon? ...Mykage? XDD (Though I guess it's possible that Izumo was gearing up to a "Luke, I'm your father" moment there...)

Also, as much as I like Andy IMO they went waaaay overboard with him in this episode, especially considering that the viewers have known from the first moment that his quest was futile. :/ Him and Mix getting a main hero & heroine treatment aside, couldn't they just let Amata figure the way out? -_- Or at least let him do something? I really hope Amata will finally get to be a main character in the next episode because ffs this is getting ridiculous.

Next week: Zessica kisses Amata (come on, it's so obvious), and Mikono channels Fudou for whatever reason. Also, OMG TOUMAAAAA!!!!'s cherubim

About the only thing I found all that interesting was that brief flash of how Mykage'd really messed stuff up in that neighborhood back on Vega. It was either Mykage's doing or it was Kagura's powers going berserk and reversing that area back to a state of nature.

I have some fresh speculation but I'm not even that motivated to post it. This wasn't a bad episode, it was just more of a breather and nothing else.

kuromitsu: about the dad, I'm still not convinced it's *not* Izumo. I mean, doing the whole "about your dad, he's...IZUMO-SAMA" thing seems pretty tongue-in-cheek. Plus the way he phrased it made me think he was going to say "it's me" before he got cut off, but that's just me.

In re: the curse, it just seems like it's going to wind up being Mykage's doing / the general phrase to cover "the phenomenon that was responsible for the cessation of new female births, the termination of existing females' lives, and so on...". Doesn't seem to be enough to build much more than that on top of it.

We probably edited at the same time - I also think it's possible that he was trying to do a "Luke, I'm your father" moment and just got cut short by Spada.

XD;; (Am I the only one who remembers this show?)

I'll start with the obvious: the reincarnations. We still don't know who Apollonius and Celianne are. It's been five episodes since that halfway point they talked about. We've yet to figure it out. But that's not our fault. They keep morphing the characters around. For instance, Zessica was a prime candidate for Celianne with her abilities but her emotions and decisions lately have taken the opposite path. Meanwhile, we continue to go back and forth about the Amata and Kagura issue regarding Apollonius. THEN the writers put Kagura in Amata's old bedroom. Now there's a connection between them, arising that old suspicion of mine that they're the same person. Does this get anymore confusing!? Yes, apparently it does. In the shadows that we don't see beyond those "boring romance moments" that seem flat, Mikono is developing feelings towards Amata. What the hell? And yet... the only person who's true identity we've pretty much already confirmed is Mykage... (he's Touma, no doubt.)

Next comes the underdeveloped romance. It has fallen flat. So much that I have pulled away from all ships together with the exception of one that has already ended, Yunoha and Jin. For weeks, I've contemplated on whether or not I would even comment on an episode when it disappointed me. But I decided to keep my mouth shut about it because others did it for me.

Sadly, we don't understand the connections of characters that well yet. And with only six episodes left...? They ain't gonna pull this off unless they do a "big bang" like with Frontier and force everything into four completely serious episodes. However, I thought Frontier would show them that this doesn't work plot wise nor does it help justify how it should end. Which is the whole reason they had to make the movies... (or Kawamori felt they were needed.) But whilst that series only needed at the most three extra episodes, EVOL needs at least ten!

........this isn't gonna end well.

I know that the OS did this originally but at least there were hints the whole way. Also, the romance between Apollo and Sylvia, no matter how small it seemed, was started back in the first episode and developed quite nicely. Their attitudes reminded me of Inuyasha and Kagome with the bickering but like the other couple mentioned, it developed as it should. EVOL does not show this with either of the mains.


In my opinion, the secondary characters are doing fine so far.

Andy has developed his feelings for MIX fine so far, considering they are rarely shown. Yet there are mentions that they've hung out and when they are shown, they are almost always together or talking about one another. It is like Luca and Nanase's relationship here... we never saw the two together alone except for two or three episodes, yet he loved her. It's a strange way to tell a tale of romance but given that the mains are so underdeveloped, it is obvious they need more time.

My heart still goes out to Yunoha. She is faithful to Jin with all of her heart. It makes me so sad to see her still suffering over it inwardly. Her character is the only one in which has developed greatly. Whilst we rarely see her, when she is around, she is helpful if not brave, and going to Altair to assist in the rescue of MIX is proof. I love the romance that transpired between her and Jin. His character developed the romance quick yet smooth. I had no problem with them.

Um... regarding Shrade and Cayenne... I still have no idea what to think when it comes to these two odd balls. The writers don't seem to want them with any women. They have almost no time with any of the girls. They might be the first homosexual couple in Aquarion... unless I'm missing one. Since Andy and MIX come around after these two, they're gonna be the first couple. ....That is, unless something changes in the next six episodes... which I doubt it will.


Okay, here's where I really ramble regarding past episodes and this one.
