Thus, while I’m certain that Aquarion will follow the destiny premise, it’s far from certain who has turned out to be the recipient of the aforementioned souls. I can see some of the original side characters as possibly having reincarnated into side characters of EVOL, but Mikono is not among them. Of everyone in the triangle, only Mikono has no clear connection to the reincarnation circle.

But then, Sylvie is part Angel, meaning that Amata has both a connection to Celiane and Apollonius. But then we have, of all people, Amata, who is similar to Sylvie (he was even hinted to have family ties to her), and thus Celiane – he possesses her wings, for example. Here, too we don’t actually know who is who – sure, Kagura is very similar to Apollo, from his recognizing people by smell to the wild demeanor he exhibits. In the original show, it was unclear which characters exactly were the inheritors of Apollonius and Celiane. The thing is, Aquarion really teases with the destiny premise, while still not allowing itself to be bound by it. It’s just a pity that her voice actress can’t sing, though.
#Aquarion anime apollo silvia series#
Chihayafuru last season was one of the very few series who got it right for me.ĮD: Entirely dedicated to Yunoha? Okay. It’s a problem that has been all over anime, really, and 95% of the attempts to subvert this just turn into harems or psueudo-harems. Amata is the only one who so far goes against that. What I still dislike about this series is how it still adheres to “true love”: the way in which love is always decided and only two people are meant for each other. I like how they didn’t go for the predictable “Amata is Apollo route. The whole Silvia & Apollo is something that I, as someone who didn’t watch the first season, didn’t really get, but a quick look on the internet showed that they are the two main protgonists of the first Aquarion series. You’ve got the luck that you’re an original story, so you can fully make use of the 26 episode format. You’ve just entered your second half, Aquarion, so the time for delaying is over now. Zessica is nearly getting there, but her growth entirely depends on Amata here: if he doesn’t change, the she’ll remain stuck in in her current dull part forever. Kagura for finally showing a different side of himself than that raging beast (it’s about time here…) and Mikono, for finalyl doing something against her part as Amata’s true love (hah! I got his name right this time!).Īmata and Zessica meanwhile still need to have their moments in which they need to grow. This is something that can easily get really annoying when the creators have no intention whatsoever of breaking up th emain couples, but heck: Kagura and Mikono emerged as better characters out of this episode. So, it’s finally time for the love triangle to get somewhere.
