Thus, presentation once more ruins the anime, just like the Gods ruined the world of the series. And may I remind you, this is not purely a comedy to begin with, so overdoing the funny part destroys the sad part. The characters lose their seriousness and are seen just as sex material or comic relief, blasting away the tragedy of their past lives and their final battle at the end. The thing is, it is used so many times in almost the exact way all the time that as the episodes go by you only see it as a running joke. Now, I’m not against the idea itself I actually liked the hentai possibilities to this concept. Yeah, gives the term “mindfuck” a whole new meaning. In order to summon the mecha and fight, the characters need to merge their mind, a procedure that feels like they are having an orgasm. This reset button ruins most of the actual liking you could have with them. It happens in one episode, helps to materialize some weird special attack and it is forgotten by the next episode. Most of the supposed development the characters get does not matter. Only thing, this is no Ne… (and sorry to keep mentioning that anime but it is the best way to explain the faults). That leaves room for a lot of character development and could create a heck of a cast, just like it did in Neon Genesis.

The story tried to spice them up by throwing a super hot spice to the soup of mediocrity by giving them past lives, ties with mythology, and the need to realize stuff through dreams in order to save the day. The cast is the usual bunch we find in all classic mecha stories (Don’t make me mention them it’s a waste of time if you don’t know what I mean just from that). Ooooh, stick that big, hard mind of yours deep inside my wet dream Too bad I wasn’t in the writing team I could save this from disaster with my oh-so-basic-literature-skills-you-suckers-at-the-drawing-boards-lack. The feeling of the fillers was so alienating it was severing you from the feeling of the meaningful parts and although the finale was powerful and wrapped things nicely, it meant very little by then. And less humor too most fillers aim at comedy and when we are back into the core story, it is supposed to be dramatic and serious as heck. How could all this work out? Well, less filler would definitely work to its advantage by the time the finale kicked in, you have lost interest. Too bad they didn’t because of LAME PRESENTATION! Under different directing all that could make another Neon Genesis indeed. And adding to the lot, battles with giant mecha, past lives, and orgasmic fusions between characters … yeah it’s weird. It is about a destroyed world that awaits rebirth through unearthly means, blurring reality with dreams, and Greek mythology with fringe science. The idea behind the story is actually very good on paper. So here you are keeping notes for a hundred things, only to realize in the end that most were just smokescreen and that the actual plot could easily fit in 6 episodes. But presentation once again ruins all the fun, as most of the episodes are random fillers that only manage to confuse you with irrelevant happenings and character self-realization that by the next episode has totally been forgotten. The plot is done in media res fashion, that is starting not from the beginning but from a point later, where you are supposed to find out what happened in the past. Only there, the answers would leave you amazed, while here they will only make you think “What? That was all of it? Big deal!” IT SUCKS! You are never told what is going on in-series to the most part. This element could work as a plus, since you are supposed to pay attention and slowly learn what is going on with the world and those weird sounding names.

Its core story is quite the typical mecha one, albeit full of anime-only terminologies that they never seem to be directly explained to you. The world is at stake so let’s go for beers In all, I don’t consider him as anything special. He is by no means awesome in his work as he hardly takes his work seriously, as in the case of directing shows like Arjuna and Basquash. Directed and written by Kawamori Shouji, known for his work on various Macross series. Other than that they are not a studio I am fond of. In the longrun none of them manage to be masterworks for having sloppy directing but I did love what they did with Noein. Animated by Studio Satelite, which has produced several famous and infamous sci-fi shows over the years. And it failed big time for not doing much with its own potencial other than making fun of itself. Here is a tip for all you scriptwriter wannabes out there: IT’S NOT THAT EASY!Īquarion was basically trying to be a more light Neon Genesis, with a lot less seriousness and a lot more fan service.
