But instead of explaining this clearly, he chooses to portray this "bonding" as.sex, literally. Within the combination of the mecha lies the concept of a metaphysical unity of body, mind and soul.
#AQUARION ANIME DIALOGUE SERIES#
Clever references to the writings of Carl Jung and some metaphysical undertones, stuff that could have made this series feel a lot smarter, gets completely kicked in the nuts thanks to half baked, almost insulting, execution.
The story is rather unoriginal and only gets more confusing by the second half. Not to worry, because YOU HAVE seen that before. Little has been done to mask the show's various influences and as such, any long time anime fan watching this would be constantly plagued by the feeling of "where have i seen that before?". The story is a mix of themes that have come before a healthy dose of evangelion's quasi-religious ramblings, a dash of Escaflowne fantasy, obvious 70s "super robot" anime influences, the love triangles of Macross and narrative style of magic academy type anime. Anyway, "Genesis of Aquarion" was meant to be an ambitious project for Kawamori and his creator owned studio "Satellite" but that ambition does not seem to show. And in keeping in Shoji Kawamori's style, a third party for a love triangle is introduced in the form of Silvia's older brother (almost incestuous yes?). A most unlikely couple, yet a most predictable romance subplot that one could see coming from a mile away. He is rumored to be the reincarnation of Apollonius and is promptly recruited by DEAVA, much to the chagrin of his fellow pilots like the princess Silvia de Alisia who detests Apollo's uncultured nature. Into this conflict comes a wild orphan named Apollo who possesses powers unlike anything anyone has ever seen. Able to be piloted only by special young people possessing magical "Element", these Vectors can combine into the mighty "Aquarion" mecha which is able to change form to adapt to different types of combat. But now, humanity has a fighting chance in the form of the DEAVA organization and their three "Vector" spacecrafts. For Eleven years the mysterious "Shadow Angels" harvest humans' life-force using giant Harvest beasts guarded by Fearsome Cherubim titans. In present day, the Shadow angels have returned and reduced earth to a wasteland. Many Millenia ago, a mystical race known as the shadow angels were defeated by humanity when one of their own named Apollonius "the solar wing" defected over his love for a human girl.
