Nice. The series ended a bit fast. No real conclusion.
The way I remember it, aquarion was the worst ever semi-erotic failed NGE clone I've ever watched. It is worse than watching german dubbed movies, period. The first episode was good I guess, but the rest, what a disaster.Originally Posted by Sapphire
I think you missed how the show is actually a parody with a decent drama and plot to support it.

In literature, a work in which the style of an author is closely imitated for comic effect or in ridicule. Differing from both burlesque (by the depth of its technical penetration) and travesty (which treats dignified subjects in a trivial manner), parody mercilessly exposes the tricks of manner and thought of its victim and therefore cannot be written without a thorough appreciation of the work it ridicules. Examples date from as early as ancient Greece and occur in nearly all literatures and all periods.
a. Funny
b. Not a very bad shallow semi-drama without absolutely any depth.
First it doesn't have to be funny to be a parody. Second it was actually funny to some. Not to me, but whatever to each his own. I'm just justifying your "NGE clone" statement.
