Long ago there was a battle between angels and humans, which ultimately ended with the angels’ retreat. Now, after twelve thousand years, the angels have returned and have begun harvesting humans in order to drain their prana to feed the world tree. A group of gifted teens from around the world are called upon to train and pilot the vector machines known as Vector Luna, Vector Mars and Vector Sol. They must come together to form the ancient mecha known as Aquarion to battle the Shadow Angels.

My thoughts:
I enjoyed watching this anime. I found the story of reincarnation fascinating. Remembering a long ago past must seem strange, but the makers of Aquarion pulled it off. Each character has his or her own quirk, but I found Silvia’s brother complex a little too much, but then again I kinda understand it at the end when the Shadow Angel explained Celiane’s separation from herself. I do love the commander Gen Fudou and his strange metaphors that seem to have deep meaning and is always on par with the current situation. Aquarion is always action, there are no boring parts to it, it keeps moving forward and doesn’t stop until the end. The music was great and the animation is very well done. I definitely recommend Aquarion.
