Your points here are only hurting your argument; in Vandread they have all those false conceptions while only one person knows the truth. In Aquarion Evol there are no false conceptions or whatnot, which should make things easier, yet they end up faring worse than in Vandread. Quote:

I think there is too much fixation over the fact males and females are separated. It is very likely a plot point to be explained later. In fact, I got a personal hypothesis that could explain why things came to be that way.
Spoiler for hypothesis:

I don't quite know what to make of this yet, production value is good, VA was pretty good, but something seems off about this show. btw I never got around to finishing the first one, did it eventually get it's s**t together?

Its been 12,000 years we don't know what happened in between. The only thing we know is that Neo DEAVA is keeping the truth about Aquarion's history a secret. There was a possibility of misuse of Assault Aquarions by the New UN military. Assault Aquarions were finished after mutilating a Shadow Angel child that was captured. Assault Vectors modified element pilots and artificial pilots were mere puppets. Indeed those Abductor humanoid mecha seems to work on a similar principle to artificial pilots. |

The character list on the official site has a girl who looks suspiciously like a moe-fied Rena and is described as a "mysterious pretty girl"...
As for the other characters, I think Mikono and Zessica will make up Celiane (Zessica definitely gives me Sylvie vibes), unless Reika is also involved somehow, in which case Mikono = Reika is another possibility. What I wonder about is how Touma is going to be involved... Re: male/female segregation, I also think some people are taking it too seriously. The entire point is, IMO, that the segregation is stupid, which is why it doesn't work; and once Gen makes his way into the HQ I bet he'll lecture everyone on how Male and Female belong together because their union wields the Ultimate Power of Creation and so on and so forth. Then the girls' boss and the boys' boss go off and have sex, or something. And seriously, guys. The HQ has pink and blue lighting over female and male parts. The girls' Vectors are mauve, the boys' are blue. There are chastity stones. This is awesome. 8D Last edited by kuromitsu; 2012-01-10 at 18:25. |

I don't think that Kagura is a clone. In the original series, Sylvia was an aggressive fighter/warrior woman but Sirus was not. Sure he was proud and a warrior but his personality wasn't like Sylvia's at all. I think that it's the same for Amata and Kagaura. Amata's personality is like Apollonius (what we've seen of him in OAV) after he fell in love with Celiane and Kagura is like Apollonius before he met and loved Celiane. But I believe BOTH of them are actually one person |

As for the characters, my theory so far is: Kagura + Amata = Apollonius Mikono + Zessica = Celiane And apparently Mykage aka Touma will awaken in the next episode or so, and then we'll see what he's after this time. (Aquarion Evol, probably... that, or Amata.) Btw I just realized I really like the ending song, it's so deliciously melodramatic. I wonder when the full version comes out... |

I am not sure if anyone has forgotten but when the original Aquarion was last seen, its pilots were Apollo, Sirius, and Toma; all males. I wonder if the current DEAVA doesn't realize that the reincarnated Apollonius was needed to form the Sol Aquarion and with Amata having foreshadowing as his soul may be part of Apollo/Apollonius, if he forms Aquarion Evol with just the males vectors in the upcoming episodes I wonder what DEAVA will do or will that Gen Fudou lookalike will come to his rescue/safety?

its Ghost Madoka time!!!

it will be a total fanservice if the original Aquarion suddenly appeared tags along with the Aquarion Evol during the fight ,then i will squeal like a total fanboy, just like the Kotetsu Jeeg series where the old Jeeg tags along with the new one, double Jeegs

I'm not sure if anyone has heard but it seems that the first volume of Aquarion Evol it will have not only episodes 1 and 2 that was shown during broadcast but as well as unaired cuts and it seems that on amazon they will sell or shipped on April 25 in Japan.

Neither Apollo, nor Apollonius ever seemed to think of themselves as useless trash like Amata did. Now, I understand the psychological hardship Amata had to go through because of his wing power, which is why he was calling himself useless and being emo, but that makes him far LESS like Apollo and Apollonius.

But there is a parallel with Baron and Alisia being taken. Apollo had the means and will to take Baron back but he failed. Here Alisia, whom I suspect to be Amata's sister, is taken away from him. We don't know yet the circumstances of the later only that Amata blames himself.
Also as demonstrated with Celine a soul can reincarnated into two persons with Sylvie and Sirius. As said with their reaction to Mikino who appears to be the reincarnation of Sylvie it seems to suggest Apollo's soul split into Kagura and Amata. As for Zessica given her "Burst" feeling during gattai I suspect she's Tsugumi. Andy for laughs is likely Pierre who has karma from the past life now unable to score chicks. |

watched the first episode last night and all i can contribute right now is that the jury is still out on this one. I was a big fan of the original Aquarion and enjoyed quite a bit. This one just hasnt jumped at me like the original did from the very first episode. But it was only the first episode so i might being a little harsh. Right now even the music is feeling bland to me unlike the original where the music would set the mood very nicely from the OP to the ED and the OST. Will give myself some time to warm up to it.
