Released with the movie was a comedic short film featuring the characters from the original series.Ī sequel began airing in January 2012. It recycled the plot and footage of the OVA, though a few scenes were cut, while others were added to flesh out Sirius' funeral and Aquarion rebuilding the world. At the end of the OVA, it is revealed that it exists in a universe parallel to that of the series.Ī movie, Wings of Genesis, was also released.
It takes place in an alternate timeline, where the full team (except for Apollo) had already been assembled, Glen didn't fall into a coma, Sirius died in battle against the Shadow Angels, and introduced is a Prince Scorpius, a new player in the Apollonius/Celiane backstory and the past life of Reika.
The series was created by Shoji Kawamori, the designer of the Valkyrie and the Nirvash typeZero amongst other mecha, which is why the titular robot looks so awesome.Ī two-part OVA (entitled Wings of Betrayal and Wings of Glory, respectively), was released after the series. He then joins DEAVA, the organization which handles the Aquarion and Element Users, in the hopes of finding his friends and bringing them back.

Ordinary militaries are unable to stop them, and it's up to the aforementioned young people (referred to as "Element Users") to stop the Angels, using an ancient Atlandian weapon: the Aquarion, a Humongous Mecha which is the combination of three different flying machines called Vectors (causing the three pilots to join their souls and spiritual bodies into one).Īs soon as the Aquarion pilots first engage the Shadow Angels, however, they promptly get their asses handed to them, and crash-land near the place where two Element Users were investigating rumors of a possible reincarnation of Apollonius. Eleven years after a catastrophe known as the Great Incident ravaged Earth and gifted a few young people with Psychic Powers, the Shadow Angels awaken, and start harvesting humans all around the world. Twelve thousand years ago there was a great war between humans and Shadow Angels the humans won, in no small part thanks to Apollonius, an Angel who turned against his own people out of love for Celiane, a human woman, and the Angels became dormant under the South Pole.įlash forward to Twenty Minutes Into the Future. while that's entirely correct, it's probably an overly simplified way of Describing Genesis of Aquarion here.
