Sousei no Aquarion: Holy Genesis Aquarion

[Munsu]

This is for all those mecha fans, like Rahxephon and NGE and such...

Animation is awesome, just waiting for the plot to show up, but it looks promising thus far...

I really liked the fights when they faught outside the mechas...but the mecha action is still quite good

released by AonE and Mahou... i recommend both version, but are very good...

I'm getting Mahou at the moment just because I liked their Tsukuyomi and Fantastic Children, but both versions have their positives and negatives... but you can't go wrong with either...

[rdperalta]

yeah.. the CG animation of the mecha is good. Seems like when they "unite" they have an orgasmic-like experience hehehehehe. I DL-ed the Aone-AKingdom version

[Lefty]

It's a little trite on the back end but overall this series should be very interesting. Thanks for recomendation Bud.

[HaZMaTiK]

episode 2 is out subbed

[Lefty]

A link perhaps? Just telling us it's out dosn't really help.

'Goes and checks'

Ok the Maho sub is oiut but there not as good as R1, so I'll wait a bit.

[Aeon]

This is one of the only two non Gundam mech animes that I've liked(other being Gravion). I dunno which of the 3shows that I watched tonight is the best.

[Roko]

anybody still watch this? Just started (currently dling ep 2) and it seems pretty cool. Weird plot though. any thoughts?

[Board of Command]

I'm still watching. It's ok, not as good as Erementar Gerad though in the new series category.

I'd have to agree with that, for the most part. I am enjoying the EG series more.

Episode 4 was pretty good, for having an unusual concept (feet).

[Marks]

you know straight from the beginning what's going to happen. first they train, then have to use that in the next combat to win. sucks imo. but i still enjoy the show.

[redray8]

was this series dropped, or is it just taking a backburner to other projects?

thanks in advance..

[redray8]

thanks for the multiple releases!

[ryan92084]

agreed

[Board of Command]

Finally, the story is starting to pick up. They just HAD to go through 10 eps for character introduction...

[Yiannakis]

did anime kingdom drop this when it got licensed?

[Black ops]

I'll start this. Looks good. Love mecha i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[dark maginn]

This anime is alright not great

[Black ops]

Just started. At ep 4. Pretty good. I like it so far. I'm going to keep watching this one. Mech battles are cool i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[Phoenix20578]

No, it wasn't dropped and up to episode 13 is subbed

[Roko]

if anyone really cares, Minglong has put up the 2nd op (which we havn't seen yet) up for download on his site.

EDIT: direct linking disabled. just google "Minglong" and it should be the first link.

[sickwake]

wats going on is there another encode problem???

[Phoenix20578]

@ Roko: Thnks, this new song is great. It would be greater if I saw the new opening...
@ sickwave: Your guess is as good as anyone elses. Its been about two months since the last releasei/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif

[Stekkos_Myer]

It has only been a month, and don't worry it will come in due time.

[Roko]

And what do you know, the OP 2 Single (http://www.gm-realm.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=304) is up for download, ripped by Anime-Game-OSTs. Remember to seed after you finish downloading.

[Phoenix20578]

Thanks Roko. I still think "Go Tight" is a strange name for a song.

[Roko]

yeah, the song's okay though. Seems really fitting for this series; I can almost see the fighting scenes and characters in it. What I've noticed is that both OPs contain "it feels good". Just a pointless observation.

[sickwake]

hmmmmmmm i like the first alot better

[isso]

how many episodes have been subbed and how many episodes have bandai made??

I'm at episode 4 at this point, it's quite interesting, i want to see the end..

[Roko]

The series has already finished in Japan, all 26 eps. Only 13 have been subbed so far though....

[dark maginn]

is this any good?

[Phoenix20578]

If it wasn't we all wouldn't be begging for moe episodes....i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif

[Roko]

It may be a little slow in the beginning, but it picks up...especially now, when the plot's actaully getting somewhere the subs stop comin....

[isso]

yes what happens to the subs, the same thing with basilisk... ??? Are they tempting us then rejecting us?? They are like women, the say yes but mean no...

[dark maginn]

i will try it out i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[Roko]

Episode 14 (http://www.gotwoot.com/torrents/%5BAonE_A-Kingdom%5D_Sousei_no_Aquarion_-_14_%5B95880D8C%5D.avi.torrent) is out by Aone.

[isso]

[FaQuid]

All hail mahou, episode 16, 17 and 18 is out, ENJOY!!!!!

[Phoenix20578]

And because FaQuid didn't post the link like a nice guy, i'll post them. Now, they can enjoy.

[Roko]

Just when we all thought the plot was advancing, it reverts back to being aimless episodes...I really can't make up my mind whether or not this series is gonna get anywhere

[Phoenix20578]

I know what you mean. I was hopeing for some more plot like in episode 13. Instead, we get more run
around episodes that are pointless. I heard that the last couple of episodes have plot, so, heres hopeing.

[Munsu]

Yeah, these episodes were shitty... episode 18 was a bit interesting, with all the imitating and cosplaying... aside from that pretty shitty...

[DDBen]

Come on as random and overall plotless as these were I laughed my Butt off watching them expecially the rage over the Shadow angels attacking the girls busts. Plus these really start to show more of who Rena is and what the Great shape is atleast.

[Phoenix20578]

Episode 19 (http://tracker.mahou.org/torrents/%5Bmahou%5D_Sousei_no_Aquarion_-_19_%5B8DAF1F7C%5D.avi.torrent) is out.

[Kraco]

Well, this episode was almost painful to watch. #16-#18 were works of art compared to #19.

[Lefty]

I take your statement literaly. That entier ep felt like it was outsourced to the group that did the Hokage Orochimaru Fight. Nothing matched. I know someof it is supose to take place in another reality but the real owlrd stuff looked drasticly diffrent. The Key animator is drunk at the wheel on this one.

[Phoenix20578]

I'm starting to lose faith in Aquarion. The art and storyline are getting worse. The I hope this episode was
meant to be one big joke, because thats exactly what it is.

[Munsu]

Yeah everything looks aweful in this episode... especially the opening scene... I'm just gonna delete this episode and not include it in my collection.

[Munsu]

Episodes 20, 21, and 22 released!

[Phoenix20578]

Wow, now the story picks up. That was a late pick-up, but it was great. Sirius leaving and being the Wings of
the Sun.... didn't see that coming.

[Sapphire]

I thought I hated Mecha until I saw Sousei no Aquarion.. I've only seen up to episode 13 though.. I hear they make fun of Naruto in episode 14 o_O;;

[Kraco]

A couple of episodes released. No doubt some action will be served.

Episode 23 - Mahou (http://tracker.mahou.org/torrents/%5Bmahou%5D_Sousei_no_Aquarion_-_23_%5B5C62E981%5D.avi.torrent)
Episode 24 - Mahou (http://tracker.mahou.org/torrents/%5Bmahou%5D_Sousei_no_Aquarion_-_24_%5B39691556%5D.avi.torrent)

[Board of Command]

Finally, the end is near. It has taken almost a full year to release a 26 episode series...

[Kraco]

These two were very nice episodes. And it looks like the last two will be packed with good action.

The military vectors look far more menacing than the old ones. However, they might just be cannon fodder for the last battle. Time will tell.

[Munsu]

25 and 26!!!

[Board of Command]

Pretty good ending.

[Kraco]

Yeah. The kind of ending you could expect: epic and conclusive, happy and a bit sad at the same time. I have to say the effects went a bit overboard a few times, in my opinion, but on the other hand, that was only fitting for this series. Pretty good all in all.

I have to say I was a bit disappointed the military vectors were so lousy; everything they achived was one shot that shattered a piece of the bridge, or something. Even if it was totally predictable they wouldn't end up fulfilling their objective, I wouldn't have minded, if they had succeeded in at least putting up a bit of a fight before going down.

[Board of Command]

Yeah I forgot to mention the military vectors. That was extremely anti-climatic. When they shot Atlantis with those 3 big ass cannons, all that huge explosion did was shatter some rock. They then promptly got owned. I mean...wow, didn't see that one coming.

edit: And I just remembered how Apollo said he'll be back in another 12000 years. Why would that happen when there's nothing left to fight about? Everything has been resolved. Is it another reincarnation thing like in Xenogears?

[Kyuuzou]

Have not watched any episdoes of this series.... I'm just wondering if it's a worth dl and watching the whole series?

[Board of Command]

The first 10 or so episodes feel kinda slow and lame, but the story starts up around ep 13 or so and ending is pretty good.

[Kraco]

Yeah. It was a good series altogether. There was a hefty amount of mythology embedded in this series, which made it feel a bit different. Of course mythology was already used in Evangelion, but this took it a bit further (call it good or bad, but in this series it was very essential and used rather wisely).

There were a couple of episodes, around 17-19 or so, that were really bad, but otherwise I have no complaints. Just don't stop watching when you reach those crappy episodes. The ending is way better like has been said.

[Munsu]

This was a so-so series, and the ending was OK I guess...


I'm still wondering who Fudo was in the past life time... Did they ever say his name?

[Freeek]

true ... i just loved this series because of the first intro i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[Munsu]

Just saw a torrent for some sort of special

http://ani-tsuzuki.net:6969/torrents/52b8f1c9bbf4790a3a9b351586a2bc44773b979e.torrent

Anyone has any clue to what it is?

[Phoenix20578]

I'll post what it is in a couple hours. Need to download it first, and try to find the time to watch.

[Munsu]

Alright, don't bother downloading the special...

It's the first episode subbed in some other language, and it seems like it's a parody... Don't waste your bw on it.

[Munsu]

Don't know what this is, maybe an OVA...

New Sousei no Aquarion Project (2006-04-04 10:33:22)
A display at Tokyo Anime Fair 2006 had a picture of Mecha from Sousei no Aquarion and the words "2006 Autumn." No details about the project are currently available.

[Kraco]

Hmm... Considering how Aquarion ended, it seems unlikely it could take place after the actual series. It couldn't anymore very well contain any mech battles or such. Maybe it will tell about the ancient first war (or was it a war, or just betrayal). That could be cool...

[Munsu]

Or, maybe they'll meet X thousand of years again like promised... I hope it is a sequel, we got a lot of prequel material throughout the series in my opinion. If anything I hope we can learn more about Fudo.
