Interesting. I'd recently been wondering if the Amata/Mikono pairing had only fallen flat with us foreign fans. But it sounds like it's not being well-received in Japan either.
I guess that really goes to show the truth of what many of us have been saying.

This seem to include the own series staff, including Amata's voice actor.

That's actually darkly hilarious.
Poor guy. He doesn't like Mikono, and yet he has to say her name,
constantly.
In all seriousness, I wonder how this'll affect the seiyu work for Amata when the big romantic moment occurs...

But it's like a trainwreck, I can't help but watch. I'll always remember fondly the enjoyable first 13 episodes cour.

Yeah, I'm more or less with you there.
Aquarion EVOL is now somewhere between "Actual Trainwreck" and "Fun Mess" to me. It's definitely fun to talk about. But it's disappointing how it's all turned out compared to the first cour. Back in the first cour, I found the romance aspect of the show a lot more compelling, and the show also just felt more fun back then.
