Random Curiosity

「LOVE」

What a ride!

「ephemera／Pieces of Adam」

Forget gold. The purple Aquarion looks menacing!

「復活の翼／神話センリツ」 (Fukkatsu no Tsubasa/Shinwa Senritsu)
“Wings of Rebirth/Song of Legend”

The original golden Aquarion has a great finish. 12,000 years worth of grime came off like magic!

I’m assuming everyone has seen the current episode by now but if you haven’t: massive spoilers ahead under episode 23′s write-up! You have been warned.

「接吻」 (Seppun)
“Kiss”

The pieces are falling into place! We get some more questions answered but what will become of Zessica!?

「MI・XY」
“MI-XY”

Alicia’s and Amata’s paths finally cross!

「レア・イグラー／はじめての再会」 (Rea Igurā/Hajimete no Saikai)
“Rare Igura/First Reunion”

Things are getting serious!

「湧きあがれ、いのち」 (Wakiagare, Inochi)
“Rise Up, Life.”

B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

「魂の告白」 (Tamashii no Kokuhaku)
“Confessions from the Soul”

Suki?

「愛の獣たち」 (Ai no Kemono tachi)
“Beasts of Love”

The training really helped Amata and the gang out this episode. Unorthodox but super effective!

「個の先」 (Ko no Saki)
“Separate Paths”

Fudo has a very odd way of doing things.

「堕ちた巨人」 (Ochita Kyojin)
“Fallen Giant”

This is the second anime this week where I felt a show prematurely killed off a character…

「野性の召命」 (Yasei no Shōmei)
“Call of the Wild”

Double dose of gattai action!

「隻眼の転校生」 (Sekigan no Tenkousei)
“One-Eyed Transfer Student”

Laughter and comedy take a supporting role to a more serious character development episode.

「男と女のアナグラム」 (Otoko to Onna no Anaguramu)
“Anagram of a Man and a Woman”

In terms of screenwriting and witty dialogue, Ano Natsu de Matteru and Rinne no Lagrange are easily my top two picks of the season, but Aquarion EVOL is really making a case for itself with Kawamori Shouji and Okada Mari working their magic.

「さらけだせ」 (Sarakedase)
“Expose Yourself”

Whoa whoa whoa. Someone needs to step in and tell Mix that Zessica can wear whatever the heck she wants. Let’s not get hasty now and tell her to cover up that midriff of hers. As far as I’m concerned, she’s free to tease us about what color her “underwear” is and tear off her clothes in battle to get a better feel for her surroundings (naked Gundam Newtype style).
