Daaamn. :/ Well, at least it's been licensed in an English speaking country, maybe the official translation will be better. (What makes me sad is that
this will be the fansub that gets translated to various languages, and people will accept this as the definite translation... :/ sigh.)

No, I mean - I'd reckon Aquarion is something of a pet project for Kawamori, which is why he returned to it when he had the opportunity. Obviously something like Genesis wouldn't be too popular today (it wasn't particularly successful back then, either), so let's enlist a popular writer for her creative input, focus more on the romance side of things, add some twists and turns to spice things up...

Well, as you said tastes differ - I think it was a pretty fun ride, despite all the bumps and crashes. (I suppose it helps that I'm pretty shallow and that after a certain point just tend to take things as they come... also that it takes a lot for me to dislike something I already like just because of sucky writing.) Not that there weren't things that soured the enjoyment, but overall I had fun.

Do what I do and convince yourself that Evol is AU and has no bearing on Genesis. Genesis is most definitely worth watching - not for the plot or the romance, but for basically everything else. (Just avoid the OVAs/movie if you prefer Aquarion to be fun and lulz and weird.)
