With the end of this series fast approaching, what I’m starting to fear is that this series has bit off far more than it can chew, with more and more added complexity to the plot making it more difficult to wrap up in a swift manner. Things are undoubtedly getting wild, with no answers in sight. There’s also the strange dream that Amata had where it looked like he was assaulting Mikono. Let’s not forget the strange future foretold by Mikono’s brother, where he sees Mikono seemingly marry Kagura. There are numerous details and ideas floating around in this series, ranging from the Amata-Kagura dynamic, to Mikono’s search for the legendary Aquarion, Mix’s gender swap, and the curse placed on Zessica. What is required here now is clarification and refinement of the story. If you think about it, Kagura and Amata had the exact same character designs (only with some stylistic differences), so this revelation wasn’t exactly a huge surprise. This issue eventually transitioned into the revelation that Amata and Kagura are the exact same being(?), where the link between the two is obviously much stronger than initially implied. There’s Amata’s mother issue, where her disappearance left behind a traumatized child that has yet to get over her.
Geez, somehow this makes me think of Code Geass R2…Ĭontinue reading → Quick Impressions – Aquarion Evol – 20 + 21Īquarion seems to be getting rather serious in recent developments, with the revelations about Amata particularly significant (which admittingly wasn’t much of a surprise). All in all, things are just getting crazy, and I guess we should just revel in this craziness and have fun with it. Well, at this point, I’m having serious doubts as to whether the series will be able to cover everything (there’s still the story with Andy and Mix”y”), the love triangle amongst the main cast, the fate of the world, and the issues with Amata’s mother. The stakes are being raised to gargantuan proportions, where the balance between Altair and Vega is only part of the tremendous events that are taking place. I mean, Amata and Kagura being the reincarnations of an ancient dog? Zessica being taken over by Mikage, the ominous reappearance of the Golden Aquarion, and Schrade going nuts over music in the dimension gate? The story literally feels out of control, but perhaps it’s because it’s out of control that makes these episodes feel like an intense buildup story segment. …What in the world is going on in this series? Aquarion has never really been the epitome of storytelling, but the story is really going crazy with its plot twists and unexpected plot developments.
