I don't think anyone minds SOME filler in a series, and yes, it's one (kinda cheap, IMO) way to build characters and backstory, but Aquarion took it a bit too far. It could easily, IMO, been a 12 or 13 ep series with 90-100% of the characterization and depth of plot. Also, I'm not generally a fan of fanservice, but you can't have a character like Tsugumi in a show and not have more titty shots and such than they did. Fanservice isn't needed, but if you're gonna do it, do it RIGHT. |

Another is the preponderance of Gekiganger, which clearly plays on a whole slew of early Mecha anime. Anyways, back to Aquarion: Is there any material out there at all right now that points to what the 2nd series might actually be about? |

If you are looking for a specific parody of Eva, Dual is your thing (it's even almost semi-official!). As for Aquarion, we don't really know if it's going to be a TV series, OVA or a movie at this point, much less anything about the plot. |

Well, it was fun... Sometimes it was serious, sometimes I thought they were just mocking something (those sighs when joining were kinda strange And the fanservice during the join scenes was abundant ) Well, it was a funny ride nonetheless and the ending was pretty interesting, although somewhat bittersweet. Still it was a nice ride. I had fun Is that 2nd Season talk really true??? Well, what do you know, fun fun

Umm, I'll spoiler this since I mention one or two things that are spoilerish, if anyone really cares: Spoiler:
Well anyway, it was fun to watch, not the greatest series by any means but certainly enjoyable. |

Yeah, I wouldn't mind hooking up with Rena Well, the animation and the CGs were more than 2 levels ahead of the best F/SN (the CGs in particular were 10 levels better than F/SN's..ugh... CG dragon )
Apollo was kinda getting on my nerves but he was fine at times and he was pretty cool in the last episode Edit: Here and there.

Looks like work on the Aquarion sequel is still progressing:
(stolen from the official Aquarion blog) The subtitle is "Uragiri no Tsubasa", or "Wings of Betrayal" (as I think the English text says on the picture); while it LOOKS like Apollo and Silvia, the subtitle would suggest it was more likely to be a Apollonius/Celiane story. Guess we'll just have to wait and see! |

According to the Aquarion Official Blog, the sequel is named Aquarion: Uragiri no Tsubasa (Aquarion: Wings of Betrayal).
Meanwhile, MOON PHASE sustains that the sequel will be a TV series. |

Normally I hate retellings, but this is Sousei no Aquarion! It just might be great! Another comedic retelling could be great as well. Or perhaps Aquarion Alternative, done like Futakoi Alternative?
