Story

Synopsis

Twelve thousand years after ancient winged conquerors known as Shadow Angels nearly extinguished humanity, the angelic beings awaken from melted Antarctic ice to harvest human bio-energy. To fight this existential threat, the human military discovers three ancient flying crafts called Vectors that can magnetically fuse into the colossal mechanical god Aquarion. Street orphan Apollo, believed to be the reincarnation of the legendary fallen angel warrior Apollonius, is recruited into the pilot academy. Alongside psychically gifted comrades Silvia and Sirius, Apollo merges consciousness in euphoric union to battle angelic horrors across dimensional rifts.

⚠ Background — may contain spoilers

Created and directed by renowned mecha designer Shoji Kawamori at studio Satelight, *Aquarion* aired for twenty-six episodes starting in April 2005. The original television series became widely recognized for its dramatic combining sequence, sweeping mythological worldbuilding, and iconic orchestral theme song composed by Yoko Kanno. With CGI mechanical fusion choreography orchestrated by studio Satelight, the anime spawned a major multi-generational anime franchise that playfully explores romance, reincarnation, and cosmic sensory connection across twelve thousand years.

Anime News Network

Theron Martin Mar 22, 2008

The first half of this apocalyptic combining-mecha series certainly looks and sounds spectacular, but it is too much of a hodgepodge of elements borrowed from a myriad of earlier series for it to establish a compelling identity.

Rebecca Silverman Aquarion Evol May 22, 2014

While you could make an omelet with the amount of cheese in this show, it still is an interesting watch and the story gets progressively more engaging over the course of these thirteen episodes.
