Japanese Anime Aquarion: Season One Part Two
 

Aquarion: Season One Part Two

Full Text

After entering the lab in the previous series Apollonious and Selaine’s past lives are revealed. Now in the present Apollo and Silvia must discover the truth of their past and merge together to become an unstoppable fighting force. Some scenes could be left out and the series would have much to gain from it, the overall story is enchanting. 

Apollo and Silvia continue to discover more and more about their past lives and fight against their emotions. When in battle it is necessary to be in complete harmony with the others on board the vessel. Though I loved the first season the second seemed to become a little trite. I am beginning to think someone should recommend meditation to this team and call it a  done deal. Any way something about the show keeps me going and if you liked Macros and sailor moon at all, this may be your next favorite series. If you preferred Evangelion then you might feel that this series has the robots but is not really what your looking for. 

Presentation

There were no new attempts from the first season but they continued to use some interesting techniques of merging some very organic and geometric imagery. I still love the sound track as a full booming choir is always a great sound for battle, I would say its their strongest point as far as presentation goes.

Extras

-Creation and Development of the Series

-2005 Stage Drama

-Music Videos

-Manga-style silent movie

As the story comes to a conclusion it really picks up. My favorite parts involve the feathered ones and the stories of the past. These pieces are the real story, fighting off the demons and angels in Aquarion feels more like filler, and though some of the fights can get pretty intense the emotional complexity of finding someone from a past life is much more interesting.

I find too many repetitive themes through out this show but they are repeated for a reason, a lot of people like fighting robots, and their ususl dose of anime. I would like to see more original plot and less filler

Movies

The Film/Show too many fillers, but the actual story line rocks pretty awesome
Presentation Best music sound track
Extra Features pretty impressive for a first time, I enjoy the music videos and behind the scenes.
