Just realized that 恋 vs 愛 vs 恋愛 is almost certainly going to be a "thing" in this series: going from memory, Mykage's been exclusively using 愛 (愛の調べ, etc). So if that holds up the good guys are about 恋, the bad guys are about 愛, (and 恋愛 is the "neutral zone", lol).
It would be a hilarious troll if it wound up being the other way around, though: romantic love is dangerous and uncontrollable (hence something the good guys try and prevent), but "baser" attraction is a-ok and useful. I can't see them going that way -- too contrary to conventional wisdom to work, even for shock value -- and it doesn't seem to square with the way the rings worked on people like Andy, but it'd still be a great troll. |

Ah, I don't think it's worth thinking too deeply about this... ^^;; "ai" is perfectly good for romantic love, too - at least in this context I find it difficult to interpret it in any other way. It's just that "renai" is more specific, and it just made me wonder why Fudou (who is pretty much all-knowing) said it wasn't romantic love and yet it was "registered" as clearly romantic love, re: lovers and whatnot. Then again, it may not mean anything in particular.

Okay, I'm gonna clarify my theory once and for all about the Apollo, Apollonius, Kagura, and Amata. It's not extensive to EP7 yet, as that hasn't aired... but I've got enough to prove my theory might be correct.
Spoiler for reincarnation theory, proof below:

Edit: It's 12:35 est, does Aquarion Evol air at 1:35 am my time ...or what time?

Which makes me again doubt that Amata is his wings, because he has no smell. Apollonius wings or not, had a smell. Apollo said he smelled like all the other shadow angels Amata has no smell that's why I think he's some freaky creation created to cockblock Kagura and Mikono. For some reason their union is considered disastrous by the people in EVOL. Love is forbidden and a love as strong as theirs, has been known to destroy worlds Quote:

honestly that doesn't make sense to me. Silvia and Apollo were reincarnations of the Apollonious and Celiane. The souls were the same, they just had different "identities" because their lives from rebirth to that point shaped their personalities but ultimately it is as bad fluffy toy said Quote:
Quote:
I agree with you, except the main character isn't always the "protagonist" in the story. In fact, the main character's story can be told in a narrative by the protagonist Case in point Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Madoka is the main character but Homura is the protagonist. Everything including the OP is from Homura's perspective but you don't realize it till episode 10. They're not always the same person and you know what I am starting to think Amata is a decoy main character/hero/protagonist (any one of those titles take your pic) and EVOL is still about Apollo and Silvia/ Apollonious and Celiane, only this time they're Kagura and Mikono. Promotional art of characters who weren't the main character has been used a lot of times (Darker than Black is famous for it. Everybody Hei hugs dies GIVE ME BACK YIN DAMN YOU!!1) Quote:
that doesn't make sense to me. Apollo didn't have wings and he was the solar wing. The sun lit up and it's on water, the same as it was in the first series. Apollo myth has being born in a "lake" Amata didn't have strings in the first episode. The strings on Apollo FORMED WINGS. That didn't happen. Amata merely lifted Aquarion so he could fly... There is more that connects Kagura to Apollo and Apollonius than it is for Amata Silvia and Sirius have been depicted with wings in ED and Promotional art honestly you don't see that much of Apollonious personality and if you look at my earlier post I actually showed how they weren't that different. What we saw of Apollonious and Celiane---they were like Silvia and Apollo There is nothing but wings that says Amata would be the reincarnation. That's it and he has more in common with Silvia and Celiane than he does Apollonious and Apollo. Where is Apollon? How come we don't see him. Does that really make sense to you? It' doesn't to me Kagura has never been "in" Aquarion, so how could Apollonius appear if he's NOT inside Aqaurion. Yet Kagura knew it was the "Machine Angel" ...he recognized Aquarion instantly There is no way that Kagura could be Apollo while Amata is Apollonius...they're the same soul with different names. Either Amata is a a part of all of them Apollon/Apollonious/Apollo/Kagura or he isn't Look up Prometheus and Apollo and then see how Evol has already confirmed that Kagura is the reincarnation of Apollon/Apollonious/Apollo He's not like Apollo, he is Apollo in every way. I have to go but I will go into detail later Last edited by Lord of Pandemonium; 2012-02-12 at 00:41. |

That is one question you really have to ask yourself. It isn't impossible that Amata AND Kagura are part of Apollonius, which is why Kagura cannot smell him because he smells himself. So what if Kagura is just Apollo and Amata is Apollonius directly? Sirius and Silvia were both Celienne and Apollo regarded they had similar/same scent. However, if Apollonius was split in two, of course Kagura would only smell himself when sniffing Amata. I happened to stop on that scene and went "why does she have all these scratches and dirt on her face?" Then I realized she's hurt physically. Whether or not this spoils what will happen, I do not know. However, it's very odd.

This is largely philosophy, not much about the show. I think the fact that her hair falls is more telling, if we're going to pulling at the OP for clues, as there's only one other scene so far where she's had her hair down.

Kagura hasn't had a personality transfer--true, but he's also never piloted Aquarion either. Apollo could smell himself and Apollonius ... Apollo also said he'd never forget her smell, he feels as if he's always known him and Mikono also said that she felt that he had feelings for her before, despite knowing him. She has never ever said that about Amata.. Amata doesn't smell her either..which is why I think he's a false soul and not a real one or he's a small part of Apollon...but for the most part Kagura is Fuck what time does it air, why won't anyone tell me |

Can we call it truce until then? Quote:
I think the question of whom is whom will have to wait till later episodes because right now, we don't have nearly enough proof to make any theories hold water. At 6 episodes... nothing can be proven sadly.

I mean, seriously - regardless of reincarnation, regardless of who you ship, which boy you prefer or what you hope for, Amata is the protagonist of this show. He has been chosen by the "legend". I think it's safe to say that he's not just some freaky creation whose entire purpose is being a cockblock. (SO not touching the rest...) |

-- On another note, the OP & ED singles came out today. I'm addicted to the OP song by Akino with bless 4. However, the ED is kinda meh to me. I don't really like it as much. Honestly, speaking of that "cheesy" scene between Amata and Mikono, I have to say that this series has the best of Yoko Kanno to it. I love the music. That scene alone just pulls me in for its beautiful music. Call it "cheesy" but I love music as a separate piece.

And yes, Schrade is too fabulous to die so soon. I just hope Sanzanka survives the Schrade-Cayenne gattai. |

Amata/Mikono/Zessica. Cayenne/Shrade/Sazanka..........okay, maybe not this one, since Donnar has already stated that Amata is pretty much set as the default pilot for Vector Z so he's there to Sousei Gattai into Aquarion EVOL. But it wouldn't be far-fetched for a situation to arise where Amata is unavailable.... And the reason Andy has been getting booted out of Sousei Gattais is because his first time will be with MIX. You know it. (sexual innuendo fully intended )
