#Aquarion anime online series#
Though the traditionally animated characters are typical TV series standard, it is the computer animated (CGI) mecha that never fails to astound. Gorgrous character artwork and imaginative production designs make Aquarion a treat to look at. Narrative Flaws aside, Aquarion is truly a technical achievement. It sounds as if each Chinese voice actor performed multiple roles as many characters sound similar. A Chinese dub exists in south east Asia but it suffers from severe miscasting and under staffing. Both Japanese and English voice tracks are decently acted and on par with each other but neither are perfect the Japanese voices do lapse into bouts of over-acting while the English script had minor changes here and there for better lip sync but at the cost of veering from the original dialog. The voice casts too, both English and Japanese ones, maintain an excellent chemistry throughout, allowing the characters' contrasting personalities to shine and play off one another. Composer Yoko Kanno infuses the series with an epic orchestral score and otherworldly vocals, cementing her lofty reputation among the anime fandom. It is at least a magnificent looking and beautiful sounding mess. Though the story of Genesis of Aquarion is a mess. Just one example of how something clever gets ruined by bad taste brought about by the Japanese addiction to fan-service. Thats right, as the three vectors insert parts of themselves into one another to combine into Aquarion, the pilots suddenly appear nude and go into throes of what can only be described as sexual ecstasy. 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. 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.
