Aquarion is a mediocre giant robot series that attempts to blend 2D characters with CG giant robots. It takes itself way too seriously. Giant robot shows are always over the top. I can't take a show seriously when the protagonists punch a robot to the moon. I have nothing against ridiculous fights, but you can't have crazy fight scenes and then have melodrama in then scene right after. If you want to have a serious show, then please stay away from the mecha genre. But the story doesn't matter in a giant robot show, so how are the fights? Not good at all. The fights focus mostly on the head guy giving directions to the robot pilots. There are only a handful of robot designs in the series and stock footage is overused. If it were just about the fights, Aquarion would be middle of the road, but the story makes it that much worse. It may be free on Funimation's site, but it's not even worth the time investment.
