Product Description

Product Description

Betrayal and death raise the stakes of this end-times battle that is systematically destroying two species. Each believes itself just and moral, the passionate humans and the ancient Shadow Angels. The smoldering debris from the collision of two souls over 12,000 years past has rained destruction for the ages, eons of legends and pain meeting up with the truth as Aquarion soars over Atlandia, on a collision course with fate. The real meaning of unity lies now exposed in two halves of the same heart, darkness and light that together make a whole. As the Shadow Angels and their wingless rivals rush toward their destiny, the secrets of the Solar Wing are revealed. This could mean either the end of the world or its redemption… One way or the other, the war ends now.

The Aquarion Series Part 2 contains 13 episodes on 2 discs and is loaded with extras:

  • Creation and Development of the Series (Interview with Director - Shoji Kawamori)
  • 2005 Stage Drama
  • Music Videos
  • Manga-Style Silent Movie
  • and much more...

Amazon.com

The fantasy-adventure Aquarion comes to a slam-bang finale filled with mecha fights and special effects, as the war escalates between mankind and the Shadow Angels, who drain humans of their prana or life energy. Unfortunately, the needlessly complicated storyline fumbles and stumbles like a drunk in a dark room. Subplots are introduced and casually dropped; characters undergo 180-degree personality shifts; others die on camera, only turn up alive a few scenes later. Rena, a Gothic Lolita figure who's done nothing but sit in a motorized wheelchair and offer oracular pronouncements, reveals she's a vampire. How vampires fit into this world is never explained, and the teen-age pilots cheerfully offer her their blood. Apollo, who's insulted Silvia for most of the series, suddenly declares his love for her. Silvia's adoration of her brother Sirius gives the story uncomfortable overtones, as does the Angel Toma's passion for Apollo's previous incarnation, Apollonius. Director/co-writer Shoji Kawamori pulls out all the stops in the final mecha fights that decide the fate of Earth, the angelic realm of Atlandia, and the mysterious Tree of Life (which looks like one of Carmen Miranda's less successful hats). But the visual fireworks can't disguise that Aquarion is little more than a semi-coherent rip-off of Neon Genesis Evangelion, padded with elements borrowed from numerous other mecha and apocalyptic series, notably Voltron, Gundam, and X. (Rated TV MA: violence, grotesque imagery, risqué humor, nudity, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars Homage to Anime & Mecha
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2010

Aquarion is a wonderful anime. As of writing this review you can now purchase the full series in one box set which is far more economical than purchasing the series in two parts however if you liked Aquarion the price difference will not compare to what you get when you buy it in two parts. There is more art both on the box and in the box when you purchase in two pieces which is a redeeming factor for fans. The quality of both the subtitled original and the dubbed version is wonderful and I am not personally a fan of dubs. Either way you choose to watch Aquarion you are going to have a good experience.

The art is well done and the theme songs are both well chosen, you aren't going to run into the series and be turned off by the soundtrack - everything blends together well. You won't find scenes where characters are suddenly not drawn properly, there was no haste or cutting of corners in this production and it's very clear from the outset that this is a quality series.

Aquarion is not going to be for everyone. I found that older anime fans that have grown up watching mecha (or younger anime fans that enjoy the genre) are going to relate to Aquarion and find the beauty of this series. It is not original; it's homage, a mash up of all the funny, amusing, beautiful, and distinct parts of many different series. This makes it wonderful to watch. It can evoke your memories of Voltron, remind you of X, Macross (also by the same director), Robotech (another derivative piece of great merit), and even Evangelion. It can be a serious show (the very pretense of the series is of great severity) and a comedic masterpiece. The humor to be found in the joining of the three smaller ships to make Aquarion Mars, Sol, and Luna - the characters have an orgasm every time it's "good" - and the conversations between characters because of this is great and a small part of the comedy.

The star-crossed lovers theme is done a hundred times, and while Aquarion doesn't do it any better this isn't a series that is trying to. I didn't go into this series looking for it to be something new and innovative, and I didn't come out of it feeling that way. It's just beautiful to listen to, to see, and to remember which the power of this series is: the ability of Aquarion to bring back your fondest memories of anime long past. It is by no means a show that takes itself seriously and right when you think it might be something crazy and off the wall happens to remind you that it's humor. There is action in the show and the battles are well done, there is that level of gravity to it. It's well thought out and well planned, and really if you look at Aquarion for what it appears to be trying to achieve it did a fantastic job.

Characters are well defined, even if their back story isn't all that it possibly could be. Through the series and part one in particular we learn more about the past lives of the characters and their current incarnation. There is a very clear foreshadowing of what is to come in Aquarion. So for those who want to reminisce on many anime at once and even more to experience all the little things that made multiple series great presented in one go this is a must purchase. For those who want to experience something that has many different threads woven together; the serious, the humorous, the battles and the mayhem, this is also a must purchase. Aquarion is what the mecha genre needs: a good jab in the ribs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aquarion. Awesome series!
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2013

Take a character, and have him remind you a little bit of Inuyasha. Take mecha, and have it remind you a little bit of Voltron or Thunderbirds 2086. Take an alien war against the race of humanity, and have it remind you a little bit of Robotech. And you get Aquarion.

At the same time, this series is set apart from all others. In having the ability to switch out pilots on the fly. Having character development within the war itself. Episodes that could stand alone, but also contribute to the main plot and make it smooth and flowing.

You also have some mythology put in, and characters that could remind you of great sphinxes.

There is little, if any, repeat usage of any cel stock. Each battle in itself is unique. Computer graphics add to the series. And the plot is not too complex for anyone to be able to follow.

I can't add much else that other reviewers have not already said. If you know and love the animes I have mentioned above, then you will love Aquarion. If the animes are unfamiliar, and you are an 80's nut, where have you been? Check those out, and then check out Aquarion. You won't regret it. I promise. ^_^

4.0 out of 5 stars Aquarioin conquers Greek mythology
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2014
Verified Purchase
Aquarion is a mecha based action adventure. Each mecha craft is controlled by a combination of three people. When the units combine the effect on the pilots is comically orgasmic. When I started watching this I thought it was comparable to Gravion or Gravion Zwei. I quickly realised that it isn't really. It does follow the basic format of a mecha anime which can be summarised as; some chat, bad guys show up and cause trouble, mecha fight, ending. Aquarioin does indeed follow this basic theme and the types of charcters will be vaugely familiar too. Where it scores is in the way the characters interact and how the plot develops.

Over the course of the series the range of adventures and variety of characters to keep you entertained. It borrows heavily on some of the concepts from Greek mythology and it's fun to spot them and see where they are taken. The final climatic episodes have some interesting moral choices and do not disappoint. Overall this is well done and worth watching.

omg! when i saw the pricing on this one i was like holy crap. it was like u extra savified than what its usually cost in stores. this is one of the rare funimation series i enjoyed n reminded me of gundam a bit. so to get this whole series for way less than half the price for half of the series its amazing, as if it was on major clerance. it was packaged pretty good and no damages. im glad the discs stayed in tact too, so i had no worries. if i remembered, the time it got here was excellent too. glad i got it before the price went back to the original. looking forward to aquarion evol. someday if i chose to get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars my thoughts

i love the series of Aquarion, i watched the whole thing online, and just had to buy it all. The starts out a little confusing, but as time goes buy you get to know and really like certain characters. My favorite has to be the developing relationship between silvia, and apolla, two of the main characters, if you don't like the first episode as much, give it more of a chance, because the comedy and mystery come into play in later episodes. if you like star-crossed lovers, then you will like aspects of this anime.

For those of you who like humor, this has plenty. The story line is nice, and it gets really intense towards the end of the series. When I watched it I couldn't stop! It is one of the few Animes that has made me cry at the end. I love Aquarion and I recommend it for those of you who like love stories, Mecha warriors, and sci-fi ish ideas. It is a good Anime to watch!

Ok, Yoko Kanno music, giant robots and utterly shot away stories, there is much to love about Aquarion. It covers the standard tropes of love triangles and has some of the least subtle sexual metaphors anywhere (I would have dearly loved to be a fly on the wall when the actors were required to make their "merge" noises, I suspect it may have required multiple takes due to corpsing) but also has some fairly subversive themes under the fluff. Two sides of one triangle are brother and sister, which is handled quite well, managing to never QUITE get into tasteless territory. The relationships overall are nicely done between the assorted young pilots (and tutors, I'm fairly sure two of them were at it) and their opposing numbers in the "evil" Shadow Angels, where everything is far more complex than it first appears.

Animation is overall well done, with most of the mech scenes being 3D rendered but there is a very odd change about halfway through to the character animation, with one episode looking like it was animated by the work experience kids. Fortunately it comes in a story which is mostly set in a shot away environment so it's not too jarring, just very strange.

Highlight for me was definately "Cosplay of the Soul" which takes cross-dressing to new heights and ranks as one of the funniest things I have ever seen, animated or live action.

The DVD set is a nice slimline one, 2 dvd cases, 2 discs to a case in a cardboard sleeve. Takes very little space and was nice and secure in shipping.

画質はかなり悪いですが、画質を気にしないのであれば破格の安さだと思います。
２クール全て入ってますし、日本語音声字幕無しにすれば問題なく視聴できます。
ただし、スタッフはアルファベット表記なので気をつけてください。

あと、これは僕の不注意が原因なのですが、このDVDはリュージョン１なのでもちろん国内のDVDプレイヤーでは視聴できません。（見られるようにする機器があるようですが僕は知りません）
よってPCで視聴することになるのですが、国内産のDVDはリュージョン２なので、リュージョン１と２のDVDを交互に同じPCで視聴する為にはいちいちリュージョン設定の変更をしなくてはいけなくなります。
その際、何度でも変更が出来る訳では無くPC内でリュージョン変更の回数制限が設けられてあります。
なので、何度も変更していると変更すること自体が不可能となり、ずっとリュージョン２のまま、つまりリュージョン１のDVDが自分のPCで再生できなくなります。
僕は回数制限がしかれてることに気付かないまま何度も変更を繰り返した為、自分のPCではリュージョン１のDVDが永遠に見られなくなりました。

父がデスクトップのPCを持っていた為、それでこの作品を視聴しましたが、僕みたいに間抜けなことをしないよう一応気をつけてください。
