But even on that trailer, there is reference to older series.

I don't even know what to think about this series. The original had an interesting premise but wasted half of the run in filler episodes that did very little to advance the plot or give a decent characterization to the characters. Then the ending made little or no sense...
I'll probably give a look at the premiere, but if it's anything like the original (including the "shuffling" of the pilots that did more harm than good IMO), I'll gladly skip the rest. |

Besides Aquarion wasn't exactly a big hit back in the day and it has nearly been 7 years, making a sequel appealing to people who only watched the first series would be commercial suicide. First off a lot of people didn't like the first series, secondly a lot of new fans have come onto the scene since, 8 year old kids back than are now 15 year olds...

I can totally see an SRW with a midgame time skip of 12000 years, tying the stories of Aquarion and EVOL, along with Gunbuster and Diebuster. You know Terada said hes been trying to get Diebuster in, along with every single Gainax mecha in one SRW, this is the chance.

How much they changed things on OVA? I only know that the basic premise was the same with Apollonius fought his fellow angel who collect prana/life energy from human because he's fallen in love with human girl named Celliane

Given Kawamori's casual relationship with canonicity, you probably won't have to watch the TV show to watch to watch EVOL. Then again, it's probably going to be unnecessary to have watched any Aquarion before watching EVOL.

Huh, from that little art picture there and the way the majority of the promotional material keeps emphasizing AmataxMikono (exactly how I want it ), it may not be a love triangle after all.
Though at the same time it's Kawamori directing, but then again the first Aquarion didn't have a Love triangle. (though the OVA did) I just hope the leadership of the good guys doesn't go overboard with their "No love/No inter-combining" thing on Amata and Mikono, like forbidding them from being in the same building or something. Which unfortunatley doesn't look like it's as unlikely as it sounds, seeing as how the trailer shows the guys and girls are segregated, with the former in a military training camp and the latter in a church. >.> I WANT MY ROMANCE, AND I DON'T WANNA HAVE TO WAIT 18 EPISODES FOR IT TO START HAPPENING!!! And good GOD, that new song is so frakking addicting.

I know it's early assumption, but I'm thinking that Amata and Mikono was the reincarnation of Apollonius/Apollo and Ceillane/Silvia respectively, they don't realize it yet, and they are some sort of childhood friend. They had to separate but they promise to meet again someday, thus Mikono said "I will keep waiting for you, even it's for 12000 years". Assuming that was Mikono's talking to Amata It felt like Rahxephon manga (I never watched the anime) when Itsuki said something about the wing-shaped scar on her back to Haruka, the exact words Ayato said to Reika indicating they are Ayato and Reika's reincarnation Tell me about it. I watched the trailer almost every day just to listen to the song And I also searched for some AKINO live performance on YT... My favorites are these... Genesis of Aquarion & Sousei no Aquarion 1:35 onward when they sang Mazinger Z theme And I didn't know they've also sung some Disney songs

Besides, it's much more likely that Kagura is Apollo's reincarnation, from his appearance to Apollo's trademark "smeelling," as said in the trailer. (sounds rather...odd when you say it like that ) Plus, Kagura's own character profile on the main website makes hints towards Apollo. Two weeks to go.... And Merry Christmas!

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with that, because that was one of the appeals for me with the original series. It was interesting that two people who 'hated' each other developed feelings for one other through the love of their past lives. It certainly helped that Apollo[especially] and Silvia had somewhat unusual archetypes for main pilots. I can't say that I'm feeling this new couple at all; shy, nice girl and normal guy doesn't sound interesting. I think if they at least had that previous life dynamic of love/hate relationship that Apollo and Silvia had, it'd spice things up a little.

Well the main message in Aquarion is 'love transcends time', its very likely it will always be a love story of Apolonius and Seliane.
The main difference this time is that humans have created mass production Aquarions to fight against another race that's not the Shadow Angels. Who knows in the 100 million 2000 year history of the Shadow Angels and the planet, what kind of enemies there were.
