After a long while, I finally started watching Aquarion EVOL, the sequel(?) to that oh so strange series Sousei no Aquarion. Apart from the excellent OP and great animation, the original Aquarion was not very fulfilling in terms of story. Though the random hijinks and crazy characters do make it fun.
This anime however, starts off somewhat differently and with greater success I believe. The main character is some lonesome guy and the supposed main girl is quite shy and is somewhat depressed about herself. Already opposites of the original pair of Aquarion. However some things never change, such as Fudo
So far I like the differences. The plots seems to be constantly moving even with the random side-trip during the 5th episode. The bad guys are also quite different, in that most are humanoid unlike the original monstrous enemies. And that crazy silver and blue haired guy with the odd fixation for Apollon is there, but hasn't had much speaking roles up to this point. There's bound to be more awkward interactions to come.
And that's all for now, hopefully I can catch up on my backlog a bit now.
